[@avinashkabra7779]

2:23 What a great garage set-up!! I'm definitely saving this for my future garage!! Also, great video, great editing and I wish you loads of happy miles!!!

[@astronautonroad1]

That tiny garage was a long time dream of mine. Haven't finished building it. I think I never will 😁

[@ΚωνσταντινοςΤεκτονίδης-η8ω]

Good morning from Greece, I've been saving money to buy this bike since I test drove it..after 20 years on an EON scooter..very nice video and if I had any doubts now after your video I will buy it 100%. You said it right without trying to sell and that's the most important thing..I have to tell you that you made my day..and know that you now have people in Greece who see you.. Τhis is how videos should be, we learn the truth about people and not about companies, keep it up with lots of views of the mountains and the wonderful landscapes you show us!!!!!! Forgive me for my English, it's from the translation. and try to translate the subtitles into Greek as well..

[@astronautonroad1]

You just made my day! I’m so glad I’ve got a family in Greece! I hope you get the Himalayan soon and travel the world with it! By the way your English is perfect! I really appreciate the effort you took to write it to me!

Hi from Australia. Great video, Will get to India one day, magnificent country

[@trueroutescafe547]

I don’t feel it’s not that difficult to manoeuvre in traffic if you have good experience with an under 200cc bike, also low end torque is relative… if you were riding a long stroke bike before, you may feel it lacks low end torque else you will learn to manage it . Heating is there , but only in dead slow traffic, else it’s manageable and compared to adv 390 it’s less. Only issue I am facing is rolling the bike out from parking space ,need to be careful the way you gonna park it, if you park it nose down, be ready to beg for help.

[@astronautonroad1]

Compared to other motorcycles, the Himalayan can be trickier to handle in city traffic. I agree with you on its low-end torque. I ride a 390 Duke, and I haven't noticed any lack of low-end torque. The difference only becomes apparent when you take it off-road.

[@Mr.Bt1296]

I like your recent videos!!! U were a huge point of influence for my decision to get a Himalayan 450 As I also kinda aspire to make such videos about the bikes just wanted to know if your viseos are completely scripted or is some part of it a flow of talking u get into Or is all of it impromptu and then u later edit and keeo the best parts

[@astronautonroad1]

I'm glad you like my videos. Almost all the videos I make where I'm talking about a specific topic are scripted. But the script will flexible in a way that I can add or discard from it while shooting. Some videos will go according to the script but some won't. So I'll adjust that on the editing table. Hope it helps.

I didnt mean the Xpulse is cheap. I meant the parts are cheaper to replace compared to the Himalayan.

[@midhungopan9270]

What are your views on upgrading to tubeless spoked wheels providing by RE....is it worth upgrading as an existing owner?

[@astronautonroad1]

I've shared my opinion on it, the next video I've uploaded on this channel. Feel free to check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jILTn6p4Z9Orgacsi=c5srzKtoSN60GNMB Yeah. For me I don't feel it's a necessity. So I won't be installing the tubeless spokes immediately. I feel it's more for the people who only ride on road. Yeah. I've explained it that video. Let me know your thoughts

[@JoseAlvarez-dl3hm]

I had thought previously to buy this himi450 but then after hearing about the frame issues I am not so in loved with the idea anymore. Of course RE solved it through guarantee but still it tells us that it was not that much well engineered. I might get the versys x300 instead

[@astronautonroad1]

RE blamed the third party crash protection which was installed in that bike for it. Just go for the OEM parts. You should be good.

[@andrewlawrence5299]

I’ve heard of this with the previous 411, but not the new 452??

[@joshdoddadbod]

Just say on one at the dealer and think they did a fantastic job. The abs is an issue. Hopefully either royan Enfield makes a software update to turn both front and off and saves the settings, or someone makes a dongle to turn off the ABS.

[@jugalpatel6236]

I use earplugs. Blocks out most of the wind noise.. I don't know a helmet which has zero wind noise. Shuberth/Shoei and HJC are brands known for quiet helmets. Try them out.

[@siddharthdatta5533]

How would u compare it to the scrambler 400, different genre of n=bikes but at he same price point and bot h doing a bit of everything.

[@astronautonroad1]

I get what you mean. I recently rode the Scrambler 400, and while it looks fantastic and has that top-notch build quality you’d expect from Triumph, something just didn’t click for me either. The riding posture felt a bit awkward, and I’m not sure if that’s just how scramblers are designed or if it’s this particular model. That’s why I didn’t mention it in my video at all. For me, the real competition to the Himalayan is the 390 Adventure on-road and the XPulse off-road. Those bikes just felt more aligned with what I was looking for.

[@SheranAslam]

Bro you've literally said the heat is unbearable. Now i just want to know how do you compare heating on Himalayan with your duke 390??? Just asking it to get an idea. Because I've ridden 2nd gen 390s...

[@astronautonroad1]

Hello Sheran, my 390 duke heats up more than the Himalayan for sure because of higher compression but you don't feel it much because it has bigger fans and the heat is not directed towards the riders legs. But on the Himalayan 450 the fans are smaller and also the heat is directed toward your right leg. So yeah! I hope I was able to answer to your question 😊

[@abhijitkundu1879]

Bro Royal Enfield is not meant for commuting people usually and at frequent level found on roads with their Enfield’s usually completing their trips or journeys for short or long distances but usually it is not meant for commuting on cities it is not meant for riding on city or city purpose 🌍

[@astronautonroad1]

Royal enfield is a manufacturer that makes motorcycles for touring and commuting. And if you are talking about the Himalayan specifically, yes the Himalayan is not meant for commuting but most of the people who owns one bike use it for everything including commuting.

[@keepitreal1547]

What a fun, informative & fantastic video 😊 You've covered so much that gives others an excellent understanding of the 450 & captured it in a very engaging way. Question. Do you think the 450 would benefit from the lower torque of the 411, as its what the 411 excells at. My last edition 411 is so so tractable right from the first turn if the throttle & will even plough its way over off road stuff just in tickover. It surprises me that RE have given the new 450 less torque than the 411 as its torque that matters most off road. Your thoughts?

[@astronautonroad1]

I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! I truly appreciate it when people take the time to leave comments. Regarding your question, I don't think the 450 has less torque than the 411; it's just that the torque kicks in at a higher RPM. The 450’s mid-range is quite addictive. I agree that the 411 is more beginner-friendly for off-road riding, whereas with the 450, you need to rev it a bit to feel the torque come in. I have friends who installed the Powertronic ECU and have told me they’re getting better low-end torque, though I haven't tried it myself yet. But yes, the lack of low-end torque is something to consider with the 450.

Learning to fix a puncture is the best way to tackle it. Yes it is more time consuming and more effort is needed but I've done it before on the 411 and it works all the time 😄 I have the tire puncture spray with me incase if the conditions are not right or I'm too tired to fix it. I'll use the Motul tire puncture spray and take it to the nearest shop.

Why we need to turn off abs for offroad ?

[@astronautonroad1]

Hi,In off-road conditions, locking the rear wheel can be advantageous, as it helps the rider control the bike better by creating a sliding effect that allows for tighter turns or stops. It also give us more feedback and control over the bike while braking. I hope you find it helpful.
