Royal Enfield HIMALAYAN 450 | VLOG of First Ride

[@prathameshpatil3876]

Finally i found a riding mentor who embodies the balance of joy and responsibility on two wheels. Choosing a guide who not only relishes the thrill of riding but also emphasizes the importance of careful bike handling and steering clear of unnecessary speed stunts is a wise decision. This combination of enthusiasm and prudence not only enhances the enjoyment of the ride but also promotes a culture of safety within the motorcycling community. Learning from someone who values both the experience of riding and the proper care of the motorcycle sets a positive example for responsible and enjoyable motorcycling. May your journeys together be filled with the right blend of exhilaration and caution, fostering a love for the open road while keeping safety at the forefront...Much love from MUMBAI

​@@bigbearbangalore sir, need a help from your side What's your opinion on Suzuki Gixxer sf 155. Is it worth buying in 2023 Please let me know sir

@Sai-rd4eg test ride and buy. Am not familiar with that model.

[@nikhilsuryawanshi6301]

​​@@bigbearbangalore​ sir please I am highly recommend u to make comprehensive review of Honda cb300f .... Especially engine point of view..... Is that capacity to make best sub 300 cc adv / scrambler .... Is there any chance Honda can make adv/ scrambler from this engine ? I already rode cb300f .... One of the best part I found from this engine *Fuel efficiency (30 - 43) it's vary good efficiency renge many middle class can afford (I don't like new RE Himalayan efficiency 20 - 30😢) *Engine reliability / longevity *Maintenance (oil cooled) *Honda brand trust *Light weight adv can posible to make (because I don't like new RE Himalayan 200 kg😢 )

[@aditya78]

You're no stranger to riding yet you were like a kid in a candy store😊 I've booked one, my first RE and I'm eagerly looking forward to getting a test ride when they're out. Have fun, ride safe, thank you for sharing this with us👍🏻

[@bigbearbangalore]

😀 I was!!! Congrats.

[@ManojGopalakrishna]

Great review… Thank you. This is one bike where my heart and mind together says get one! This feeling is after a long long time, may be after the original classic 500. See you soon Himalayas!!

[@bigbearbangalore]

Well said!

[@_abhimanyu.]

Wow. Seems you had the time of your life Bosky. Watching the video felt like watching a child enjoying his new toy. And that patented "Helloooooo" mid way. Wonderful video. Seems RE has come up with something really amazing this time around.

[@bigbearbangalore]

😀 yes I had a great time and felt like a carefree child enjoying a new toy.

[@srinivasannagarajan4354]

Hey Bosky, nice video and congratulations, first time watching a complete moto vlog of yours. BTW your attire reminds me of Mr. Bret Tkacs. I have watched H452 videos from a lot of moto vloggers who are indeed good, but I always wait for your review & verdict of any machine for simple reasons of not being biased on any brands. Keep rocking!

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks. Very kind of you. 🙏

Been waiting a while for this, ur tarmac excitement has made me more excited thanks a lot for this 😎

Another great video, thanks. The new Himalayan looks to be a major improvement over the 411. I rode those roads (Spiti Valley, Zanskar Valley, Umlingla, etc) just a couple of months ago, two-up with my wife riding pillion. Awesome! I'll be back for another ride in the Himalayas (have done 3 so far!) 🇦🇺

Big bear, even though I am no moto vlogger ,I’d like to recommend the chin strap mount for a more first person perspective for a better look at the dash.

Many thanks. Cheers.

[@arijitchief]

you cater to riders like us...great review, sir...

[@bigbearbangalore]

I try. Thanks.

[@preethamrs93]

The integrated indicator/brake lights do look good but in case of a fall that would be the first thing to go. It does looks an expensive part replacement 😅. Form over function

[@bigbearbangalore]

Looks good. Function and form. I've explained why this was done.

[@preethamrs93]

@bigbearbangalore agreed with the explanation, but not convinced that this was the only possibility. Think all of us who have ridden old himalayan on rough terrains know how many time the indicators have broken.

[@rohitsvs1]

@@preethamrs93I agree with you 100%. I have already placed order for JAWA 42 rear brake light in Black colour. Will fit perfectly & wire tap for connection. RE is dumb. Made the rear end lamps like a road side mod job from Karol Bagh.😆

[@muttineni03]

Congrats on you first review on road i guess, you should do similar style with you vstrom 650 and why you say you are getting used to ride by wire, what would be the difference? I don't think I've never ridden any ride by wire bikes yet.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks. The fraction of a second lag is what I need to get used to. Nothing major. And I notice that because this is the first ride by wire I've ridden.

[@puneethmys152]

Sir, You have an amazing way of explaining your experiences. I think if you have a video in kannada then a whole section of audience would get your insights and can make decisions better. (Just a suggestion)

Namskara Sir, I have a 2018 Dom, covered 84800kms on it.I am happy with her however due to time, wear, tear, I want to change my ... (It's tough to say)... My ride. I never had RE built ever in my life. I see RE has come a long way to get this Himalayan as one garage bike. It would be a crying for help if u could suggest to blindly go for "The Himalayan". Based on all the inputs thru the internet I know it can cruise at my sweet spot 110km/hr.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Test ride multiple times and choose.

[@kseth6992]

Well definitely looks like it has ample power at high altitude , lovely engine bark , good stuff .WRT the ride by wire lag , I’m sure some fix to that exists .

Great review sir! You cover those engineering details so well that riders dont even notice unless we ourselves ride for a few hundred kms after buying the bike or experience issues with our motorcycle. My one question would be this or Scrambler 400x if my motto is highway+mountain touring but NO hardcore offroading (trail bashing stuff) ?

Hi hope u had your lovely time with the new Himalayan . Please let me know the rear suspension feel new vs old . Thats the only thing I am skeptical about . I had the 2021 himalayan and sold it off to buy the G310GS . Now am considering buying the Himalayan 452 . What are your honest thoughts on the comparison of the rear suspension . Cheers !!!

I did. Please check the other review video where I speak about it. And, the suspesion overall quite good.

Hey Bosky! Need a major suggestion from you.. i was an Himlayan owner, just sold and booked myself an adv 390 rally version.. So I’m pretty confused that i made a choice or not or should i go for himlayan 452 ?

[@bigbearbangalore]

The 390ADV is a good choice. And you could hold on a bit of possible, test ride the H450 say in Dec. And then take a call.

[@Luvy08]

@@bigbearbangalore thanks ! Quick question- since you’ve test ridden the himlayan 452 ,what would Bosky had done ? Bosky had gone from the new himlayan 452 or adv 390 Rally ?

I wonder how it performs at river crossings. Considering the kerb weight and the luggage would it still have the power to get through rocks, slushy, muddy and sandy water.

[@bigbearbangalore]

No issues

[@rishba123]

Great review, thanks for your efforts. Heard that this bike has a stalling issue, have you experienced anything like that, if yes, how bad is it?

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks. No issues I faced. And like I've said in the video, it's probably getting used to the ride by wire and till such time, stalling may happen.

Hi Boski, please make a video about anti-puncture liquids for tube tyres.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Regular riding, regular engine braking is useful and no harm. Sometimes too much is being made of this which is relevant if one's on a race track. Out on the public roads, from slow to reasonably fast public road speeds, it's a standard habit and useful and no harm to the engine.
