2022 Himalayan, 9100 km already, I really love this bike, I will have to sell my 2013 Triumph Scrambler, because I don't use it anymore, I rode it only 2000 km this year. I used my Himmy for a trip from Sweden to Romania and back, and the speed of 120 kph on the Polish A1 and Hungarian M5 highways was not a problem to reach on the full loaded bike. I love this bike!!
@pujabelgian Жыл бұрын
Great discussion. I think people who are attracted to the Himmi accept it's shortcomings. A mule is not a unicorn .. this is a reasonably priced mule! The scram being a mulette. If speed matters, buy an expensive AT and then complain about the price. 😍

Hi guys, I've had a himalayan since 2019 and I agree it's an excellent bike lots of fun at sensible speeds. For those speed demons out there, there are a few companies that sell a camshaft with a claimed 20% power increase, which is getting closer to 30bhp... I fitted one over 12 months ago and it certainly makes a difference, with other additions like a boosterplug etc the bike feels less strangled and revs out quicker and easier, don't get me wrong you still have to plan overtakes, as its still a slow bike, not the bike to buy if you want to blast around the countryside...... I've seen a lot of scenery in Wales on this bike than any other, if I see a side road/lane I just go down it to see where is goes.... lots of fun...

Great review, which accurately sums up the bikes. My beloved and I have one each (Himalayans) she is a new rider, it is the perfect bike for a beginner. We took them to the Picos de Europa a few weeks back. Some quite challenging roads, the Himalayans were brilliant, forgiving and fun. They loosen up a lot after a few thousand miles, still happier at about 55mph. The fuel consumption is brilliant 90 plus to the gallon.

Such a great chat about these bikes. Thank you guys and all on my home turf! I’ve been pondering on Royal Enfields for the past six months and initially started looking at these bikes, particularly the 650 twins because I used to have 650 BSA Norton et cetera as well as a BMW 800 twin…. I think the shock I had when I visited Bill Smiths, was how physically big many bikes are…. The PSA 650 single wasn’t the slim nimble machines I remember as a young man…. It really put me off…. I was always a fast rider, even on those old bikes, and thank goodness because honestly, if I’d had a Japanese rocket, like many of my mates had, I’d be dead or banned… So I’ve gone into it with the mindset of buying a lazy bike that isn’t to physically big and less chance of me getting nicked for overcooking on the throttle…. And I’ve really taken a shine to these bikes, a little bit outside my nostalgic, memories of chrome and a nice paint job…. But I’m OK with it. I want something to use around these North Wales roads and occasionally pushing up to Scotland, and of course I know that will be a slog in between but done in small chunks could be a lot of fun at 65 years old…. Thank you for your group chat around the table at the end. You’re a good bunch and hope I bump into you sometime. Not literally Hahaha

My kind of bikers. A bit of a ride and a brew and banter. Lovely. Cheers guys. I can only dream of those roads and a Himalayan. I'm stuck in Corfu riding a 20 year old water cooled Suzuki 125 two stroke trails bike that some teens had for bashing around the olive groves. It's noisy, too tall for my 5'6" bod. But at least it gets me about. But both those bikes you tested look fabulous value for money. I was still in the UK in 2015. Passed my big bike test in June. Bought a Yamaha mt07. Brilliant bike. January 2016 I rode it down to Corfu. I was buying a wreck of a house to fix up. Sold the bike when I left.( Makes me cry). Still in the house. Brexit tanked the pound and emptied my savings. So I'm stuck here now. August is unbearable, unless you're on holiday having a lovely time. If your having to scratch a living doing odd jobs and gardening. Carrying strimmers and chainsaws and welders on a bike. It's not such a paradise. But the roads can be "interesting ". Potholes, olive pips, stray dogs, sheep, drunk Greeks, corners that tighten up with tummy churning drop offs. It's why I decided that I wouldn't need the 700 here. Nowhere long or straight enough to need that kind of power. So those 411, or even the 350s look ideal for here. Thanks again for the channel.

For some time ago, when I was laying in my back on the sofa and thougt about what to do on my vacation and was watching some u-tube movies, I got my eyes on Itchy boot's. Then I knew. I'm going to travel around Sweden on motorcycle. All by myself, alone, with no one to tell me where to go and where to be on a surtain time. I just want to se Sweden. Not travel by the big roads. Just small roads and gravel trails and so on. So, yesterday i went to the Royal Enfield dealer here in Scania (Skåne), Sweden and got the oppertunity to try both the Himalayan and the Scram. I rode my VN800 down to the dealer and had to stop every 25 k to rest my aking back and bum. When testing both the Himy and Scram i didn't felt any of those pains. I just found out that I was sitting there with a big smile and the horns where growing on my fore head when riding at some gravelroads. The question now is, which one of the two I am going to choose for my adventure.

I decided on a Lake blue Himi and since then I done 1800 kms and the motor is opening up very nicely. She seems to average, in my hands, about 100 mpg and handles like a dream on and off road. She is giving me more fun than I've had in years - I'm just hoping for some LDC on the next rideout.

@@LemonDrizzleGang pls dear sir, define "serious"? 17y ago i was trailblazing with 125cc Honda scooter across half Europe, for two months, with 51kg girlfriend. It was more than pleasant. Why would 411c make any diff.? The only things is that rear shock doesn't have some / any mud protection. Rly stupid

+MAX UZB dont really understand in your original comment you said the 411 was no good with a passenger now you are saying a 125 scooter is I also have taken passengers many many miles on lots of different bikes (including 50cc) Most bikes will pull a passenger but I wouldn’t buy a 411 for a lot of passenger use

The Himmi is downright comfy claims my pillion wifey, especially riding gravel logging roads. It's her fav 😍out of 4.. one bigger 2 smaller. If you're boppin about on 90kph highways, they're a blast. The secret is not to be in a hurry.

Don’t see why anyone would choose the Scram over a Leoncino 500.

+GT27 because the Leoncino 500 is £6799 and the Scram is £4600

These bikes are not built for lard arses, some people need to look at their own spec sheet before looking at the bike spec sheet.

Sorry but 25hp in a 400cc is pathetic

+64fairlane359 you dont have to apologise 👍 the bike is soo much more than performance, these bikes are not meant to be VRF400 racers they are relaxing plodders I have owned 350 two stroke race bikes with double the horsepower But that isnt the point of these

Great guys 👍. One question, is a 21" front wheel an option for the scram?

Hi guys just a question, I have not long ago bought the scram and I’m not sure if I’m expecting to much but I’ve noticed mine feels a little scatty ( not completely stable) steering especially on an uneven bend or above 68 mph. The steering feels to lite. I am use to my Ducati scrambler 1100 but still feel my scram is not as stable as it maybe should be, any ideas!?
