At time of filming the Sherpa 450 engine design wasn't released, after now seeing its design we can be sure to say the valve adjustment won't be suitable for most DIY mechanics. The result of that will require a large workshop bill to get the valves checked because this configuration becomes a time consuming job. Having said that the overall design is more efficient, but more reliable? I highly doubt it, but thats just another debate for another video. even more reason to buy the 411! reliable, well proven engine, cheap to maintain and you can work on it yourself. No matter what you do, enjoy your ride! <3

I have a 2020. Love it, warts and all. Yes, the dash steams up. Yes, it's not brilliant on the motorway. Yes, neutral can be found between any gears but never when stationary, at traffic lights 🙄. I don't go offroad, but this bike is really confidence inspiring. Just what a 64 year old lady (with only 8 years experience) needs!!!

17:04 I think the tractor comment is a compliment, but people misconstrue it as insulting. Reliability, and ease of fixing when it does break is what I think of when I think of tractors and Himmys.

Rancher fella that I know has at least 2 tractors that are older than he is, and hes in his 50s... Id say thats just a good thing.

Hi Nick. Your review is spot on. I have a 2017 model. I bought it from a chap in North Yorkshire and rode it back to Oxfordshire via the Peak District. Bump absorbing suspension, an after market taller screen and gel seat. I got off at the end and thought I could turn around and just ride the route again!
The engine is a peach. Easy maintenance as you say which makes ownership more satisfying.
I’ve ridden bikes for over 40 years and it’s one of my favourites. Keep up the great videos.

I have a 2019 b4 model, love it so much bought a year ago a Meteor 350. Love the Royal Enfield DNA, pure soul.

There's something about the looks of the Himalayan that is quite satisfying. I prefer its looks over the Hunter. The 2024 Himalayan's tank is too insectoid for me.

[EpicAdamMotovlogs]

I already have one. I have the lovely sleet version. I have used it on the motorway (adequate) off road (good) & on country roads (amazing)

It took me a while to get used to after riding Japanese inline 4s for a while. I loved it straight away but then started to get bored of it until winter came, now I love it again because its so stable and comfortable.

Good review

Enfield upgraded the relays on your model (you have same as me). Previous version failed due to cheap relays. 20mph in wales only applies to villages / urban areas, there is a perception its most of wales which it isnt. Ive fallen in love with my himmy, and if you look after it, it will look after you. So capable off road. Ive enjoyed having a bike i can work on again, so simple. I struggled with lack of power, fitted tec cam, dna filter, powerage exhaust, fuelx lite and it is a different bike.

the standard rear suspension preload adjustability set to max, exceeds 30% rider sag at around 90kg. fully clad male with luggage such as the RE panier aluminium boxes will easily surpass what the rear shock has to offer.

Luckily, hitchcocks / yss offer a very good replacement with nearly endless preload adjustability, 5mm height adjustability, and rebound dampening adjustability for an unusually (for rear shocks) low price

I find it exemplary that he mentions his wife throughout his video. I admire men who love their wives, and let others know that. Compare, Proverbs 18:22.

The OG Air-cooled Himalayan is not only a beautiful motorcycle but it has a rugged look and feel about it and it's going to be around for a long time 👍✊

[richardshilling]

I liked this video that much I bought the bike. Yep the actual bike 😊

Hi Mate, at the ripe old age of 68, I traded my 9 year old 675 Street Triple in a couple of months ago for a brand new granite black Himalayan 411. I got a brilliant deal. I don't miss the power at all, as you say, it's all you relaxing to ride and comfortable. Planning some trips next year that I wouldn't have contemplated on the Triumph on which I felt perched like a race horse jockey!. I had the same problem with the levers so I bought a pair of adjustable ones from Hitchcocks in Solihull.

[wcronin]

I bought a 2022 model a few weeks ago. Loving it!

[bren]

You addressed one very important stat that most, if not all, youtubers miss out, inside leg measurement. It's not always about overall height as whatever is above the flat part of the seat when you're foot is on the ground is completely immaterial. Same IL as I am by the way.

Have a 2018 and 2019 Himalayan have 20, 000 on both of them have had no issues and ridden alot of highway and off road models, right now we have 500 dollars on all royal Enfield models. These bikes are easy to work on valves are easy and climbing is what this bike does well. SJ

I have the same Himmy in blue. Its 6 months old now and im loving it. I bought it to replace a Suzuki SP370 I had years ago and its filled the roll perfectly without the 6v electrics and a kick start that wanted to break your ankle. Iv put Enfield hand guards, 30mm tec bar risers on and connected the heated gloves wires to the battery and thats it. At 5-11 and 19 stone I dont feel cramped and it zips along at 65 no problem. Theres no weight or pain in my old arthritic wrists or knees so is comfy to ride apart from a bit of a numb bum. When I bought it I sold my 1200 Bandit which I regret doing as the Himmy hasn't got the go for faster rides with mates but as a ride alone bike its fast enough. Faults so far, clocks steam up and the engine pinks/Knocks a bit when given some gas at about 5, 000 revs. Hand grips are a bit hard so new grips will be the next job. I still have an old Harley so longer summer rides loaded up are covered but I can see another Bandit joining them in the garage. My Himmy is a keeper.! You just have to accept it for what it is and enjoy the ride.!!

I have seen loads of reviews on the i do think yours is the best ....all sensible comments...i agree about the screen ....only thing i didnt like take off its much better .

[chrisc]

I'm on my 2nd one now great bikes, like you state so dam easy to work on no branier really, also have the classic 350 in the garage, sit well together 👍

[stuartosborn]

Im going to wait until the new one is actually on sale here so hopefully i can pick up a REALLY good deal.
