Story of the Himalayan | Royal Enfield

[@georgeglumac1595]

Brilliant video. This will be my first bike, at age 66. Tremendous value for an extremely well thought out adventure tourer. I am very impressed that the final product flows so well from the design concept, based on mastering the Himalayan mountains so capably, and by extension, the rest of the world.

[@satyamsingh715]

Respect to you sir that even at the age of 66 you are willing to ride. Because many people at this age stop loving their life. I wish when I will be of your , I would have the same passion for the things I have right now

[@kotipallikalyankumar1053]

Age is doesn't matter for enjoyment all the best uncle

[@Depth_Psychology]

I realize this is over 3 years old but it is so fresh and relevant as I just recently purchased my Himalayan and have enjoyed the versatility already, taking it up a mountain road in an area by my home that I had never ventured through before. Beautifully designed and thoughtfully carried out to production. Bravo to everyone involved and many thanks!

[@harinUnnikrishnan]

I sold my 7 year old Karizma R last week, without a second thought after the Himalayan test ride. I was actually planned to own a RE once I turn my 30 yrs, but this is something different that you can have for a purpose or multi-purpose,so I really don’t want to wait and I booked the Legend.Now I’m counting days to set my ass on the Himalayan and busy with setting up a vehicle loan. Hope this bike can be a life time one like the video says.Most of the people disagreed with my choice and said, you will be sick of taking this off-roader.I really don’t care those comments because this is the one I was actually waiting for. A stunning model ever made in INDIA !!

[@keesketsers5866]

I LOVE my Himalayan. Royal Enfield has done such a good job, everything on the bike works together so nice. It makes this one of the nicest bikes I have ever owned (and I have owned pretty much all brands, more than 30). It feels like a perfectly balanced package, not the fastest, heaviest, highest, strongest...just a very good bike in every aspect. This is often overlooked, a bike can be very fast or comfortable but if all the parts on the bike don't work together it doesn't make a brilliant bike. In my opinion, the Himalayan is a brilliant bike because of exactly this.

You should watch Itchie Boots 36,000 KM review. You will find some long term weaknesses that your team never would be able to uncover. Use her information to build a better Himalyan. BTW...I am a big fan of your LS 400 motor. To give it much more power will cause too many other changes to make that as good a bike.

[@TheBezaleel]

I have ridden over 40 years, have 4 x kawasaki plus 1 honda. Watching Itchy Boots convinced me I want a Himalayan. Last week bought one, Beautiful bike, RE created a stroke of genius with this bike. In a class of one. With their other new models, RE is a very respected motorcycle manufacturer here in the UK.

[@303storm]

So glad I bought it. What a machine. I have nothing but a great time with it and even use my surfboard rack with it.

[@thokchomnickelsingh9742]

I've test rode one once and I can't imagine the awesomeness of the bike. It reduce the engine vibration, performance of shock absorber, handling in conering, exhaust knot, and feather touch gear and so on..... I can't expect such technology from Royal Enfield but we have one.

[@paulosb7002]

Beautiful Himalayan!!! I'm a pretty sure this can be successful here in Brazil. Our market is in need a dual-propose bike between 250 and 660 cm³. After 660 all bikes are more "bigtrails" style and have a little off-road touch, unfortunately. Me for example, I have a Tenere 250, light and angile on the trails but sometimes the engine isn't enough. I really would love ride this bike here.

[@frankpinion4937]

I think you would find it a good step up. It has a far superior instrument panel with all the information you need for serious off road adventure riding. It's simple-rugged yet reliable design get's the job done with no fuss.One of the best handling bikes I've ever ridden.

[@RaphaellGlau]

I own a XRE300 and it's the best on/off road bike in my opinion in the 250~600 cc's due to it's comfort for long travel and it's low end torque. But the price is too salty for a bike that has absolutely 0 onboard technology it is a spartan bike that can take a lot of punishment without breaking but it's almost not worth the money you pay for it. But in a small town like mine that has only one Honda dealership, is a hard choice to go with a bike that has no close support but, I'd definetly risk it with this one, it's a beauty on it's classical look and it sounds sexy as well damn...Enfield will struck oil here in Brazil with that bike.

[@alvarocosta562]

The Himalayan is actually has more powerful and torque than the Yamaha Tenere 250 (+3.5 hp and 1, 0 kg.m), but its excessive weight (191/194 kg) makes these advantages useless, except when you’re riding at very low speeds. Once at the roads, I also can’t see any real advantage of this bike over it’s the competition in price. Again the excessive weight charges its price. This motorcycle is an anachronism; let’s comment a little about it. Less than 60hp/L It has a ridiculous pay load, weighting 191 kg and carrying only 169 kg maximum. These are numbers from the first half of the last century! Good luck for those that already have decided to buy one, I hope you enjoy your new bike forever, once it will be almost impossible to sell after one or two years. It’s a bike only for enthusiasts, not for normal use, as any other Royal Enfield sold outside India.

i had a quick couple of miles on a demonstrator on the road and it seemed ok but was so noisy when pulling up hill with piston type knock, as normal i suppose with a long stroke single cylinder engine i was a bit put off, if i could get used to that the rest of the bike seemed to fit well, maybe i'll have a longer test ride after i get my interceptor run in.

Looking for the upgraded version of Himalayan, I own a fleet of 10 Himalayans, honestly, gear shifter sucks, we have opened up two engines to sort out the piston knocking at 5,000kms. we can run it on broken tarmac as long as its not going uphill. I know its designed for dual terrain purpose but Please don't say that it can handle the complete dirt. Its still bulky. Really looking forward for the upgrade version of Himalayan. Keep the good work on flow.

[@ccooper8785]

So many people appear to want the 650cc engine fitted to the Himalayan but, for me, it does not need a bigger engine but it needs to have a larger frame. I really think that this bike is physically too small for many Europeans and Americans. It is a massive pity that this is so as it is a fantastic bike and the 411cc engine is good enough for its intended purpose. The larger frame would improve access to the cylinder head and would allow a deeper fuel tank to be fitted. You could then call it the Enfield Dakar 👍

Low end Torque? 32Nm at 4000-4500 rpm. My brother pointed this out and we both agreed that with a 182kg bike the peak torque comes at a higher rpm. Meaning when we'll require the torque most, we won't be getting it. I loved the concept of the bike though. Finally there's a touring bike around 2 lakh.

Royal enfield can become the Harley Davidson of India. All you have to do is launch a completely new line up without comprising with the DNA of Royal Enfield but also by adding the latest and necessary technological advancements. Add a little more punch to the engine, reduce the vibrations and give good brakes with ABS. Harley 2018 line up is a perfect example of upgrade.
