So, y'all want a newly designed bike, with significant upgrades, conveniences, and improved performance & capabilites, for the old price? Let's just forget about inflation, the money spent on designing, engineering, research & development, tooling, testing, and marketing. Take your 5 to 7 year old vehicle to the dealer and tell him you want a new one for the same price.

Literally no one said they wanted it for the price of the old one, simply that the price had to be right to justify it or else other brands look more appealing at higher prices with proven track records. This is REs first water cooled motor and only time will tell if it will be reliable. I'm a RE fan, and even I understand that if the price is over 20% of the 411 5500 MSRP (over 6600 usd) then a lot of people are going to struggle swallowing that pill.@@tangoindiamike9189

Itchy Boots rode two different 411 models, rode them hard, and they proved to be up to the task. She is a big part of the reason why I decided to buy a brand new "old model" I absolutely love "low tech". I've been riding a Suzuki DR650 forever. It is solid and reliable. But the original Himalayan seems to be more comfortable and tractable, and certainly a LOT better looking. I have owned (and loved) a 2013 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 for 10 years. I converted it from EFI to an Amal Concentric MK1 carb, and installed an aftermarket exhaust on it. I currently have just over 22,000 miles on it. I usually ride it around 55 mph.

Royal Enfield is dialed into something important that the other players are missing. Low CC doesn’t have to mean “beginner bike”. You can put your best work into a light or middleweight bike and there are people out there (many people) who would snap it up. KTM 390 Adventure, BMW G310GS, Honda CB500X, etc are all giving us half measures. If you want their best work, you have to be ok with owning a giant bike for off road use. I really hope Royal Enfield is successful here and that their success raises the bar for low displacement adventure bikes.

I agree 💯! You have to appreciate a company that listens and delivers. They were already killing it with 200,000 units of the 411 sold worldwide. They could have just milked it, but they realized how many sells they lost because it was under powered, or some other common complaint. It occured to them, if we had it to do over, how could we get THOSE customers to buy an Himalayan. This bike will exceed sells what the 411 did. I'm tempted to buy a 411 and store it for future value. Imagine, rolling out a mint condition 411 in about 25 years. People will beg you to sell it, for a huge profit.

Given the RBW throttle it's a shame they didn't add a cruise control option given it's a travel bike and even RTW travels will inevitably involve some long stretches of tar even if just to get to the fun stuff. Yes a throttle lock can help a little but it's less useful on smaller bikes.

The old one will still be available for those that want a simple life.

You need 2 braking sensors, a lean sensor, a traction sensor, a clutch sensor, a RPM sensor, and any other sensor needed to shut off cruise control in emergencies, and all the required programming. It's a big liability risk. So some mfrs like BMW even use radar to regulate it so you don't accidently fall asleep and run into a car in front of you.

It looks to me like the riding position has got a fairly acute knee bend and for that reason alone I can't have one and a Scram 411 is likely to be my next RE and I think will put off older , less supple riders ( yep that's me! ) But I'm sure it will steal sales from the 400 triumph and introduce younger riders to the marque. I'm sure that's because it favours a better standing-position and I'm a tad disappointed that I will not be embracing this latest ground-breaking ( for RE at least ) Tech! 😥

Credit to them for fixing some negatives in the original. Despite all the Itchy Boots fans acting like the Himmy was fantastic, it wasn't (and that's why she moved on to Hondas, duh). It was heavy, limited clearance, underpowered, with weak brakes BUT as the Revzilla guys said it was like a mule or burro that kept plugging along. The changes were needed because there IS competition. NOTE for me the biggest issue with RE bikes has been the very short maintenance windows with valve checks every 3000 miles. My SV650 has it's first check at 15000. A CRF300L is 16000. No matter how "easy" it might be to do it yourself, having to do it that often is silly. If this model fixes all those issues for a decent $, great. If it doesn't, I'd rather take a look at the new CFMoto 450MT or a used BMW F650.

Sounds like a thoroughly capable bike, though why an off road 21in front wheel, with 'adventure' tyres? A comparison with the Fantic 500 Rally would be interesting. Although branded a scrambler, most of the basics - power, torque, suspension travel, ground clearance, brakes - are similar. The Fantic has 30kg less weight, 7cm less wheelbase and a 19 in front wheel....with offroad tyres. I might have given the RE a thought when I bought the Fantic a couple of months ago... and then rode it to Italy, having fitted 'adventure' tyres. A tolerable! 3x7 hours a day in the saddle taught me it's much more than a fun scrambler and the low weight is a big plus.

@@iamrobot396 I agree! But then R.E should fit the right (knobbly) tyre for that job, rather than the compromise semi street adventure tyre of the test bike. They need to make up their mind whether this is a bike mainly for serious off roading, or mixed use, when a skinny 21in wheel has more cons than pros.

@@aurigacap8584 No adventures bikes come with knobbly tires as they are terrible on road and cause a lot of vibrations and wear and tear on the highways. You can certainly go ahead and replace them to your preferred tyre type but to say the bike should come with stock knobby tyres is absurd. No manufacture does that unless it's an off-road only focused bike. Also 21" have a much larger tyre selection for off road than 19"

The price will dictate how many units they sell. And RE may want to believe they can sell premium bikes, but their reputation and branding for the last 10 years says otherwise. £4599 and they may be in with a shout. Over £5000 and Honda will take it.

They need to keep the price low. Every company blathers on about "premium" but there are far too many overpriced "premium" products already. What most buyers want and need is good value: a decent quality bike at at affordable price.

The original look of the Himalayan was unique in today’s world of bikes , this one looks like it was cobbled together . Ask ourselves can you lift it when you drop it ? A 190kg plus user friendly dirt bike? Slow…don’t be fooled by slow motion footage of expert riders standing up going through rivers , you can ride a Honda CB125 anywhere also.

I wish reviewers would stop using height as a measure for seat height. Not everyone is gifted with average (or above average) leg/body proportions. Plus the shape/width of the seat - the previous Triumph Speed Triple was (diabolically) within my seat height range, but when I put my feet down it felt like my hips were about to pop out of their sockets (no other bike has done that).
