Great video. The Himalayan shows not all roads are racetracks, and not all riding needs to be at breakneck speeds - a lesson I've learned over the years.

There is a lot of haters of the Himalayan which is miss placed. As we know its not fast so it will take time to get anywhere and with it being naked, it doesn't appeal to a lot of riders but that is the point. It will take time to get where you want to go, so enjoy the ride and views. If you do happen to come off with it being naked there isn't a lot to brake, plus it will only cost around £5.500 for a fully equipped bike with hard case panniers (not soft) for a new bike. It will cost a couple of grand more than that for a basic ADV bike with no extras. Also learning to ride off road makes you a better road rider. Its a no frills bike that will get you to where you want to go.
