[@leeoflincoln7062]

I bought one of these a couple of months ago as my second bike, it is increasingly becoming my first bike. I didn’t have high expectations when I bought it, I just wanted a small bike to run about town. But with every ride I become more impressed with this machine. I love it!

[@jaegermeister1968]

I was never a RE fan but the 450 Himalayan is a fantastic motorcycle that I want to buy right now and can't get. Completely sold out in Austria and endless pre-orders

[@nebula234]

SOLD OUT???... WHAT?? CANT BELIEVE THAT 😅😅

[@Rick-ve5lx]

Maybe you should wait. It’s prudent to avoid the Mark 1 version of anything. Any problems should be addressed in the Mk2 version. (Remember the Mk1 Himalayan 411 with the weak frame at the headstock?)

[@podunkman2709]

Well, it gves a lot of fun when off-road. But on paved road the engine is so weak (not 'speed' but no engine flexibility - u change gear every second), dashboard is so primitive, the workmanship is asian and ... u have to change oil each 6000km. Almost there

[@matthewstewart3532]

​@@Rick-ve5lxthis isn't a mark 1, they've been making Himalayans for years lmao 😅😅

[@Rick-ve5lx]

@@matthewstewart3532 You don’t know the difference between a 411 and this, a totally different bike.

[@stevendegoodmojosmet4034]

I like how it looks , great colors too. greatings from Belgium.

[@HeadhunterUK007]

Paint, finishings and build look made to last and seems to hit the sweet spot in terms of price (ownership and running costs), practicality and performance. What a bike.

[@steveh7823]

Engine and info/nav display are winners. I expect they will appear in road versions. Big 👍 to RE for offering bikes with a centre stand as standard. I hope to see bikes with a rear DTRL red light bar above the number plate for added visibility.

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

I was never a fan of the bike Itchy Bits rode as it always seemed too boxy/angular to me. This however is a vast improvement, and assuming its power output is sufficient for your needs it's hard to see why you wouldn't consider this machine. I like it.

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks Julian 😀

[@christopherturner9330]

Ive been waiting for your review of this Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Mark. Such a great practical motorcycle with style. Lovely build quality and the paint work and welds look great and I,m certain that Royal Enfield would have been rigorous with their R&D and "in the field " real world testing before bringing this massively updated Himalayan 450 to the Showroom floor. It looks finished and complete in so many ways.

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks Christopher 😁

[@CosmicSeeker69]

My view: people who go cross continent touring will buy the Himmy. Those who ride to Starbucks will buy the CFMoto...

[@typing...3109]

5years ago I bought my 1st cfmoto 650mt before and after pandemic I clocked 42,000 kms on it did twice loop ride in my whole country and 3 endurance race in it each endurance covers 1800kms for 24 hrs to finish. I don't think cfmoto is for wannabes rider ✌️

[@SteveInskip]

The CFMoto is a very capable bike. If the new Himalayan is as good it’ll be a decent bike.

[@geddstock]

They are winning moto3 races as well

[@The_Arby]

Definitely a big improvement over the older model and looks great now...Nice one Mark, great review as always 🙂

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks:) I enjoyed it ....feels much more refined now

[@lestersmyth692]

Impressive I’m sure RE will sell boatloads reasonably priced too. I can definitely see some Triumph influence likely due to RE having poached a designer or two from them. Good to see decent mudguards front and rear other manufacturers please take note. The dash looks great and they even have the tachometer and speedo the correct way round unlike Triumphs 400. Thanks Mark good overall review 👍

[@FairWeatherMotorcyclist]

Great review. I think it's gona be another Great success for RE.. and most likely my next bike.... iam gonna leave it for a year just to see if any thing pop up .. recalls etc. 👍

[@kalaharimine]

A lot more impressive than expected for a heavy 450 single.

[@davidcharlton5519]

Heavy?🤔😅

[@kalaharimine]

@davidcharlton5519 maybe not that heavy, only 6 kg more than my Honda 600 vee-twin transalp.

RE seems to genuinely listen to bikers and do their best to deliver what we want. And for every new bike they strive to better quality and finish. This one should fly off the shelves at the dealers,. Good review, you covered the essentials.

[@fragasm726]

Thanks from Minnesota, USA. Excellent review! I appreciate you mentioning your height as I am a taller rider and I was curious about the fit. I'm hoping these come in soon because I was just about to pull the trigger on a Scram 411 but this extra power is much needed here! Nobody seems to have a good idea when they will arrive here.

Looks like a lovely bike. Great fit and finish and great performance and economy. As you said Mark, a step up for Enfield. Great informative video as always, Cheers.

[@christopherhorton5449]

A great review. I like the look of this. I wasn't sure about the display, but it is growing on me. The Tripper nav looks great though. There are some nice touches for a bike at this price point.

This is the RE single cylinder motor they should have brought out 4 year ago... Love this bike!!. RE have always been lacking on top end, 70Mph was the let down for me but this looks great and now as the power 💪. I think the small issue is the price.. will the price put people off?, one of RE big selling points was the price, you could get a nice bike for little over 4K. thanks for another great review Mark 👍

As a GoldStar owner i love a single engine and this new Enfield really ticks all the boxes and doesn't it look great in the black colour. In my eye's a much better bike than the Triumph. You forgot to mention it has a seriously decent front mudguard as all bikes should have but so few actually do.

[@Trev350]

A very thorough and accurate review Mark. Nice job. I rode the demo bike at Bob Minions in Derby last week and simply loved it. I think it's going to be a big hit for Royal Enfield.

[@jimmydickson8854]

It’s not a long stroke like the old one you got to keep the revs up even when you take off ,it’s an all steel no nonsense bike for the prices it’s pretty good bang for buck it’s kind of built like a tank ,

[@Ironpine27]

The new himalyan's engine still has a long stroke as far as I know. It is simply more capable of higher and more sustained revs due to the liquid-cooling.

[@bonniechops1]

Never rated the previous gen but this new Himalayan looks and performs brilliantly 10/10

Royal Enfield have really stepped up the quality with this bike. I guess its in direct competition with the 400 Triumphs. Another great review as always Mark. Thanks.

[@TheBezaleel]

Love your videos Mark, but you are mistaken. My Himi 411, 2019 B4, will cruise at 70 mph and top's out at 85. The engine is fully functional and bedded in after a few thousand miles. Not the brand new demo bikes everyone reviewed

[@CosmicSeeker69]

I've heard that time and time again.... Some people have suggested that they take as long as 8000 miles (which a lot of people never get to)

[@mantarayal]

Great review. I think they've nailed it. The bike looks great - especially in this black on gold. As a 6 footer (183cms) this bike would fit like a glove. Engine sounds SWEET!! I'd like to know if the speed on this video is in miles or kms though.

[@tpv59]

Yes it does both, depending on which country you live in!

[@quentinjackson6015]

Years ago I rode a single cylinder Suzuki SP 370 trail bike - I suppose you might consider that and the Yamaha XT 500 to be early adventure style bikes. Those 'thumpers' were great fun to ride and this new Himalayan 450 seems to be carrying on a genre where those bikes left a gap. A great review of a bike offering a lot of adventures for the dosh! Cheers.

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks Quentin 😄

[@trevjones1315]

The only thing I don't like is not having a dedicated rear light. It's what people behind you are looking for not this new weird way of doing things. Cracking review though 👍

[@tpv59]

YES it DOES have a rear tail and stop light. They are integrated into the turn signals.

Always excited when I see you have a new review out! Character wise: how does this engine compare to your 350? Thanks

Hi it's a short stroke engine....whereas the hunter is long stroke ...so the new Himalayan is much faster free er revving than the plodding hunter ....but both are brilliant in their own way Best wishes mark

[@buzzlightyear1484]

​@@markpulling12it is actually not a short stroke engine and that is why it has vibes at 90 km/h. It is a square engine meaning its almost long stroke. For good torque and power.

[@CosmicSeeker69]

​@@buzzlightyear1484I think that he may have meant short-er stroke engine....

[@ironhorsehero1988]

I tried the old brilliant one, liked it but lacked power, if you want to get to somewhere interesting chances are you’ll need to use some motorway unless you want to take half the day just getting there. Great review, liked it up until you got to the rear indicator/brake lights, way too many bikers being hit by other vehicles without them being utterly confused by your weird rear light set up.

[@JamEWalsh]

Ah yes, but is it a Kawasaki KLR650 killer??? ;) Can't wait to test ride one of these! I love my Classic 350 but looking for something more capable. My experience with Royal Enfield has been great!

Hi Jam, may I ask: where does the 350 leave you lacking? I'm thinking about one to ride down through the Balkans to Greece.

[@phillipchandler8862]

I came down to Poole when the pre production models were there and was quite impressed with the bikes. Tubeless are the models to go for I think. Good value for money. Sitting on the bike I think the weight is well disguised with a fairly low center of gravity. Very good review. Cheers Mark👍👍

Yes it didn't feel that heavy to me and on the move it was great... Best wishes mark

EXCELLENT review Mark. EXCELLENT. THOUROUGHLY ENJOYED it. If I may suggest in future video's, (and I believe this is a GREAT comment) would you mind going thru all 6 gears (at normal riding) with NO voice over so we can HEAR the motor??? 99% of all reviewers DO NOT do this. I/we would LOVE to HEAR the engine/motor from zero to 60 mph. (100 klms) with NO voice over PLEASE. I think this would only consume about 10 seconds of video Time. Perhaps you can consider this.

I had a kawasaki 650 adv bike for a short moment but I could barely get my leg over it. After lowering the suspension I still didn't feel confident. At 5'8" I think this mid size Himalayan 450 could work for me. I might try it If I can find it here in the states. Nice review. Thanks

According to people who have tested CF moto already thay say it's better on highway but himmy is better off-road. Also there is news that CF moto can do 150 kmph which is same as himmy but CF moto due to twin feel more smooth on road.

Great bike, great video. People should accept that synthetic oil lasts WAY longer than 3000mi. 5000-10000mi easily.

They are going to sell a lot of these. This bike hits a lot of buttons. There is beauty in simplicity. Longevity remains to be seen. I would run full synthetic.

[@markfranks1329]

Judging by the large amount of encouraging comments, it certainly appears that this bike has been eagerly anticipated, Mark. The reports coming back from testers, including yours, leave no doubts that RE have successfully evolved this bike into something contemporary and desirable when compared to its capable but somewhat uninspiring and rather dull predecessor. Good report as always, Mark.👍

[@davidmallia628]

Since the Kove 800 super adventure claims to have the same weight, I would consider including the 800, also. Obviously, the price would have to be not far from the Himalayan, and CFmoto 450MT.

[@nebula234]

If you wanna go for weight reduction you can easily remove 25 kgs by removing parts... RE uses very less plastic on the body compared to other brands...

[@jimmyjam8795]

You'll definitely need a different mindset...I don't like the cb500x and sold mine. I'm picking the Himalayan up on 2 weeks, but have a new cb500f already. The 450 single has a lot more vibrations than the X that's for sure, but such a more interesting bike to ride with similar performance. We make our choice.

[@fingerhorn4]

Great review Mark. I cannot see any advantage of this bike over the new Honda 500 Hornet, unless you go off road often. The Honda is a little pricier but so much more accomplished: More comfortable, faster, more economical, much better dash, lighter. I suppose it boils down to personal preference and style.

[@olethorhermansen5696]

Golden rims is such a strange choice for a rough adventure bike, very out of place. Apart from that the 450 Himalayan seems like a very capable bike, but I won't be switching my old 411 Himalayan for one. I really like the rugged simplicity of the 411, that simplicity is gone on the 450 with all the electronics and a less do-it-yourself friendly DOHC engine. But a big thumbs up to Royal Enfield for still giving all their bikes a center stand, no other manufacturer do so anymore, if you're lucky, they'll sell you one as an accessory. And as we all know, chain drive sucks, but chain drive and no center stand really sucks!

[@CosmicSeeker69]

100% valid comment. I'm a returning rider (50 years) and am not sure which bike would be best to ride from the UK to the Himalayas. In fact I'm considering a 350 classic as my stead. Any thoughts?

[@CosmicSeeker69]

Oh, and the gold rims are a request from the RE marketing department 😉

[@olethorhermansen5696]

@@CosmicSeeker69 For a trip like that I would definitely choose something simple like the 411 or one of the RE 350's. They are no doubt slower than the 450, but there's just less that can go wrong.

Things are getting very interesting in the smaller adventure bike category with this, the Triumph scrambler, Vogue 525, the coming CFmoto MT450 on the way and an updated Benelli TRK550 apparently on the way, and add the Honda 500 and then the rumoured Kawasaki Versys-X 500 also apparently due as well there will be a lot of choice for off road or road biased choices, and it should all keep prices down with so much competition here and allegedly on the way

[@CosmicSeeker69]

BTW. I only watched as far as talking about the seat - bc i dont want a road test - ROAD test, i want to see it tested on the sort of places the TET and the ACT go.

[@CosmikDebriis]

Certainly an interesting change in direction for Royal Enfield as they attempt to drag themselves towards the 21st century. I've no doubt the bike is a vast improvement over the old model whist still retaining its utilitarian looks that I would assume would appeal to the die hard RE fans. Indeed utilitarian is probably it's USP compared to the competition. Can't help thinking it would make a great military bike? My guess is the CF Moto will be a better overall bike (I certainly hope so as I have a deposit on one). Anyway. It will be interesting to see if RE continue this trend towards modernisation and, if so, how they will compete the the rise of the Chinese bikes. Probably a market they would do well to avoid as it would appear, from the pricing of this compared to the CF Moto, they would struggle to compete.

[@nebula234]

If you more of road guy...go for CF... If more trails or offroad RE... That how I felt after watching review of CFmoto...I'm yet to ride CFmoto but I like new Himmy

[@tpv59]

Now available in Australia from May 2024. Special introductory price of $8990. AUD ($1000 off) ( CAN'T WAIT !!! )

[@nigelfisher3756]

Thanks for the review, Mark? On initial impressions it looks good vfm. Build quality looks better, electronics upgrade and water cooled. It’s going to need a test ride for curiosity, if nothing else. It looks a tad overweight. With 2 plus luggage on board I’d be slightly concerned about any long(er) distance work; could be wrong, of course, but a concern. Fine for solo, absolutely. I think the new Chinese CF Moto 450mt could prove very stiff competition; Enfield is well established…..not sure if I could (yet) part with the folding on a Chinese bike. You are a bit naughty, Mark! Why not have a ball and squish through those puddles on the gravel track, cover it in mud and let’s see where the crud gets with the long front mudguard and rear fender (welcome inclusions)!
