Royal Enfield Himalayan 450: A True Test of Adventure?? (Episode 1)

[@magaudion]

You’re a bad man Simon. Bought a new tubeless Hanle Black Himalayan because of you and booked on Alex’s Roof of India tour in 2026.😜

[@thatbikersimon]

Congratulations you’ll not regret it and the roof of India if thr perfect place to ride the bike. The new 450 is fantastic

[@BigMbiker.]

Great job Simon. That new 450 is one super machine

[@thatbikersimon]

Absolutely it’s far superior to the older 411 around these mountains

[@LambChopRides]

Enjoyed that Simon! What software did you use for the map tracking visuals? 👍

[@thatbikersimon]

Hi John, I got my buddy to do these maps this time for me, I’ve done them myself on Keynote on apple mac, it’s a little time consuming until you get to grips with it, but there’s some KZbin video tutorials to help out.

[@thirunavukkarasup517]

Hey, I too have 450 himalyan. Just done 2500 kms ride,chennai to Lonavala, hillstation Via, Tumkuru,near Bangalore ,on pune Mumbai highway.. >300 kms on Ghat section.. Himalyan 450 is very good. Iam running 60 years of age. It's glad to see u all 20 bikers from all over the world, on this hilly roads of Simla. Whats your opinion

Hey Simon get yourself a Starlink mini! Perfect for the back of the bike on top of your panniers and will even run from 2 dewalt power packs! Modem is all built into the very small dish and works in motion!

Hi Simon - great to see you back up in the hills again. Looking real good fella. If Alex is Tom Hanks in Castaway, are you Wilson? Didn’t see Vidhya. Is that beautiful lady not on the trip? Looking forward to the next one mate. Chris

[@thatbikersimon]

Thanks

[@brb653]

That’s a lot of Himalayans, what’s the price for one in India I wonder?

[@thatbikersimon]

There certainly cheaper but I don’t know know how much by. Maybe 30% but that’s a guess

[@AniruddhJoshi]

It costs around $5300/£4000 for Hanle Black if you spec it out. Comes with 5Y warranty and road assist.

[@thatbikersimon]

@@AniruddhJoshi that’s amazing and a 5 year warranty 👍

[@MtnRaptorGem-bc9lg]

I'd say watver u said bout india is 100% true 👍😁😁

[@thatbikersimon]

lol it’s bonkers

[@MtnRaptorGem-bc9lg]

@@thatbikersimon nailed it all the way to 6 ft 😁🤣

[@brummil]

Hy Mate Progreess is going on. Actioncam is ordered. Parts r lying in the livinroom and Da Vinci Resolve is gettin me mad! What do u think about the Channel Name? "Old Bones.....on unknown Roads" Nice Vid man. On that an good scotch. Cheers 🥃

[@thatbikersimon]

That sound good, you just got to stick with it it’s not going to be easy or everyone would be doing it. Get some practice with the action cam 👍

[@Lalnunpuia__Ngente]

Waiting part 2

[@thatbikersimon]

Coming soon 🔜 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨

[@lieman-fr2dg]

You don't hit on cow it is Sunak's god,😂😂😂

[@thatbikersimon]

It’s a good job they don’t move that quickly

[@interstellargod6959]

That Eicher truck in front of the petrol pump same makers as the Re's..

[@thatbikersimon]

Really? I didnt know

[@interstellargod6959]

Yes..Eicher motors is the parent company of Re..sid lal is a business man

[@thatbikersimon]

@@interstellargod6959 I didn’t know this

[@stanicher1]

rather 20 years no x-mas presents ,than driving in india!😁

[@thatbikersimon]

it’s the best.No rules

[@kai-uweoch1159]

Can you really enjoy that great landscape if you need full attention for the traffic, not to be run over or being pushed into the ditch by some crazy driver under those conditions were no rules apply and which shows total disrespect for the life and health of others? On top of that you need to keep up with this much too large group of 20 bikes. Honestly: not my kind of riding! However the new Himi seems to be a great bike!

[@thatbikersimon]

Don’t worry this is the best adventure yet.

[@deltaandD7516]

The WEED HUNTER.. 🤣

[@thatbikersimon]

There plenty there lol all for free 😂

[@aloksingh-yp3gc]

I have a 100k dollar toyota fortuner but I enjoy the ride on 2k scooter,it's not a poor mans choice the thing is people from your part of world have a "poor thinking".Expensive automatically becomes superior to you people.Dont complain chaos,cows,bumpy road,traffic bla bla instead enjoy the difference.Thats the right kindaa mindstate.

[@thatbikersimon]

I think you missed the point as referring to the smaller the vehicle the less priority on the roads, not how big your balls are.
