i find you to be one of the most logical, reasonable, practical riders on youtube. keep going on!!

[@Twenty3Rides]

Thank You ji.. Stay subscribed. lot more content coming up.

[@jimmyjam8795]

As a Brit, I thank you for providing such excellent and defined information about this bike and sharing your experience of it. I can't wait to ride one in the UK. 310 miles on a full tank, and 87 miles to the gallon is great too. I look forward to the vibes, coming from a CB500X.🙏

[@d.j.chakraborty1848]

Enfield was a British Marque❤

[@Twenty3Rides]

Cheers Mate.. Glad you found it useful.

[@captainlockheed]

87mpg? most 300 to 350 scooters do around 80mpg I thought he said 30.62 kpl which works out at just over 72mpg not 87!

[@edhuber3557]

Check. I also get ~72mpg.@@captainlockheed

[@BruceHoult]

It's 87 in UK gallons, not yankee@@captainlockheed

[@anirbanb9513]

I agree...80-100 in between is sweet spot for crusing.....for Indian highways...

[@MuhammedShafiS]

So true anything above 100 seems an overkill.

[@BruceHoult]

With that kind of traffic, sure. Here in New Zealand on my 2019 CRF250 Rally I'm mostly riding around 90 km/h on back roads (including gravel) but if I'm going any real distance on a major road then I cruise at 112-113 which is a real low vibes sweet spot for it and it has really surprisingly good wind/rain protection at that speed. Not as good as my 1995 BMW R1100RT (owned from new) of course, but perfectly acceptable for a 300-400 km day ride, while I'm happy to do 800+ km on the BMW. In contrast I had a MT-03 loaner for a day recently: beautiful engine, and much higher speed and acceleration possible than the CRF250 (probably similar to the Himalayan 450), but I could not stand to ride it over 90 km/h for any length of time as it was just toooo tiring. The Himalayan 450 seems like a possible eventual replacement for the 250 Rally (the original Himalayan was not) instead of just stepping up to a 300 Rally or 350 or whatever Honda has by the time I pull the trigger (if ever). But that windscreen looks inadequate. Maybe the official Adventure Windscreen is ok.

[@N0tTh3Pr0]

I like your respectful slamming of all those show-offers... loved it. And your views on the bike as well were quite helpful. Thank you and keep it up.

[@bally632]

Great review 😊, you covered everything a viewer would want to know. Also with being a UK viewer you did a great job of speaking clear English throughout 😀

[@rishiroger]

Interesting talks about matured riding! 👏. Need more like this, this is example of what should be promoted.

[@unplannedhub7468]

But they don’t get enough attention which they deserves. In India people supports chappri riders compared to other matured riders.

[@chloroquine99]

Top video and hello from Europe. The biggest comfort factor for crusing speed for me, so long as your engine can take you that fast and the road is ok for it, is windblast. I love the Himalayan but I think the screen is much too small. That would be the first thing I'd swap out for a larger aftermarket option. You could add 30km/h to your comfortable speed with a better screen. That screen looks like it could be 20cm wider and 10cm higher.

[@theboywholovedkappapuzhukk]

One of the practical videos I have seen in youtube recently. You are not pushing the idea to purchase a new higher cc motorcycle instead you are stating the fact that we won't be using the entire potential of the bike... kudos man...

[@yasin_mhd_]

This was exactly what i want to know. You have pointed out the most important things. I was really doubtful about the quality of RE because i was an ex-himalayan owner, it doesn't give me a satisfying ownership experience. Thanks for making this video again and being honest as always.

[@kalpesh182]

You are the one on which I can really trust in terms of review......I feel honesty in your every word. Keep it up.great review.

[@Twenty3Rides]

Thanks Brother..

[@palletfork8740]

Spot on about reliability. As a customer, it feels best to wait till the tubeless spoked wheels are launched. Need to see if they provide it in Gold with Hanle Black.

[@martyn_g]

Remote off road riding, you’re better off with tubes. If your bike gets staked, plugs ain’t going to save you.

[@sghosh5177]

Tubeless spoke wheels won't be launched in India

[@davidbesant]

In England, gold wheels are tubed. Tubeless wheels are back/grey and are not pleasing to the eye.

[@NikVilluri]

Even on my Ninja 1k, I cruise at an avg of 90-100 in a super relaxed and comfortable way.

[@lovepeacehatewar9818]

How Far you Cruise Your Ninza Super Comfortably??? For how Long You Cruise your Ninza??? People Can't' Cruise The Ninza from Chennai To Ladhak, Himachal Pradesh, People Can't Cruise the Ninza from Northeast State to Ladhak and Himachal Pradesh, People Can't Cruise the Ninza from North India to South India. You Can't Cruise your Ninza or any Super Bike For Long Time, For Long Tour. Sfbeng 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@NikVilluri]

@lovepeacehatewar9818 Curious to learn what bike you ride. Perhaps you're referring to ZX10r or others which are super sports not a sports tourer. And the discussion was on highway touring, not off road riding. And I have toured both the North and Southern part of the country, so I'm speaking from experience. Cheers.

[@fullthrottle2008]

I find the most comfortable bikes split weight between legs, bottom and arms… the zx6-r g/j ninja did a good job but got progressively more sporty as time went on and put too much weight on the wrists but each to their own. My euro 4 Himalayan gets a bit uncomfortable on the back because it’s too upright, especially if I wear a Kreiga rucksack

[@moksham674]

Z900 will be nice, not sport sitting posture bike

[@BruceHoult]

On my R1100RT (owned for 28+ years so far) at 110 it feels like you're not even moving and it's almost impossible not to let the speed creep up to 120. When I travel between Auckland and Wellington I take deserted (but smooth) back roads and cruise at 140. On my little CRF250 Rally 90-100 is super relaxed and comfortable, but 110-115 is just fine for several hours if that's what the traffic is doing -- it's got pretty great wind protection for a dirt bike.

[@wilsondsouza19]

Awesome video enjoyed your perspective and looking forward to testing the new himalayan

[@TheLostBoy01]

nicely done, good review! waiting this baby to show up in Europe. it will be my 1st bike.

Beautiful ride review … I think what new Himalayan is offering for the price is best in the market and it ticks all the boxes pretty decent according to ur review. N bro ur quote on pricing in ur previous video, is bang on target 🎯 So, happy to book one now 🤗

[@adr2567]

Thanks man, you’re been running us so patiently with all your findings, loving this Himalayan test series. Having the bike for a extended period means you can really test out every aspect and perform real world testing, this is so much valuable than the Ladakh testing done by reviewers. I’m in a dilemma because I want this bike for off-roading and to take my wife on tours but on the other hand I want to upgrade my CB300R to an Aprilia RS457. Torn about what I want to do, any thoughts? 😂 Edit: I’ve subscribed, you deserve it 👍🏾

[@Twenty3Rides]

I would suggest that you get this.. It will ensure you will always get the permission to ride as you can always take her along. aprilia Pe Galiya hi padni hai 😅… Address the biggest priority first and then make additions your garage.. 🫡

[@divyanshuthakur]

Great video Jas, covered pretty much all the points I wanted to know about as an Interceptor owner planning to add another bike in the stable. However like you mentioned, I'm gonna wait at least a year to see how the reliability of this new bike is. My Interceptor had been notorious in the first year of ownership with almost all the electrical parts failing and requiring a replacement. (RR unit, relays, instrument console, side stand sensor, fuel pump). I'd rather pay more money and get a rock solid reliable bike than get one at an introductory price and face potential failures every now and then.

[@Twenty3Rides]

Glad you liked the video.. Waise i have booked one as I am pretty confident of what i have seen so far..

[@bombadil5817]

Vielen Dank für ihren ehrlichen, realen Test! 3,26 /100 km bei der Geschwindigkeit und den ständigen Lastwechseln und Beschleunigungen ist schon sehr phänomenal! Hier in Deutschland bleiben die meisten Fahrer in der Spur daher kann man bei uns, wenn der Verkehr nicht zu dicht ist, gleichmäßig und etwas schneller fahren, vielleicht 120 - 130 kmph, ohne gestresst zu sein. Frage: wie schaltet sich die Neue? Ist das Schalten leichtgängig? Mit meiner BS4 411ccm Himalayan fahre ich nur ungern Autobahn. Mehr als 105 kmph fühlt sich nicht lange gut an. Zum Pendeln fahre ich fahre häufig mit meiner Honda NC 700, aber für Ausflüge und Urlaub nehme ich lieber die Himalayan 😊 Das Schalten ist allerdings etwas schwergängig. Schöne Grüße aus dem Schwarzwald! 🌲🌲🌲

Excellent review video mate! I expect when it comes here in February 2024 it will have had a lot of little problems ironed out after first release versions have been tried and tested over there in India. Maybe that's why it's been done that way. A new bike that's been brought out could suffer if the first release has problems.

[@ranjithk9150]

15:17 OG Mahindra Mojo used to do 120 cruise absolutely vibe free and that is a single.

[@dheerajyadav8134]

@4:10- a good practical pep talk on cruising speed. This has always been a topic that when novoice join the ride group initiates. Practically even if you have the best bike, Indian roads are not straight, with plane surface and without any sidewalker or cattle protection. In such scenarios you can achieve 150 or above for a short spell but non way on long run. Generally riding over hours or days, in my experience my average speed has been around 80 something.

[@Twenty3Rides]

Yes bro.. a lot of people live in their own world .. Propogating shit which influences new riders and makes them feel left behind..

[@adr2567]

80 something is crazy fast for an average, I’ve done super fast runs and my speedo indicated average is around 50-60 😂

[@bombadil5817]

Auch in Europa ist auf langen Strecken, auf guten freien Landstraßen nur eine durchschnittliche Geschwindigkeit von ca. 70 kmph möglich. In Deutschland auf Autobahnen eventuell 120 kmph, aber nur wenn man dazwischen häufig auch 150 kmph fährt, daher sicher eher nur 100 kmph...🤔

i totally agree that 80-100 is the sweet spot for touring , people who do more than are not touring , they are just trying to reach there destination. i sometimes will be bored and will do 70-80 for 30 mins ,and then might do 110 for 15-20 mins , but Mental fatigue is too much when you are doing higher speed as you have to concentrate more, so this bike suits Indian Road and indian Rider
