Been watching a lot of videos on this and other bikes, trying to narrow down what i really want, and while everyone tries to quantify the experience of riding the Himalayan, your comparison to ford's straight 6 was the first thing that's really resonated with me. That was my first truck at 16. Could pull anything, but i used to tell people "if you're lucky" when they asked me what the 0-60 was in high school.

To this day that was my favorite truck i ever had, and that just really solidified my interest in this bike. Thanks for the video!

Compass works fine always points north as it should

Thank you! It’s so interesting that almost all owners make this comment…. There is just “something about this bike.” Owners really bond with it and don’t care about any supposed flaw all. I’ve heard it over and over. I’m about to pull the trigger on one I think. I live in dirt road heaven NW Arkansas now. Oh my current bike? Yamaha MT-10. I’ve got the acceleration and speed thing handled. I think the RE H will be fantastic.

🇬🇧I've got a 2021 himi as an every day ride to work bike, done 10k plus miles, solid robust easy to service well built bike . Bought it to replace a 60k 7year old h---a .

Just hit 9000 miles on my 2021....and it's been everything I'd hoped it would be. Honestly my only legitimate issue is that I just wish it were a bit lighter. Otherwise I've been quite thrilled with it and have taken it on many multi-day adventures. I will say that adjusting the TPS and idle-speed, as well as replacing the fuel pump and injector relays, has fixed all of my idling, starting, and stalling issues. I'm working on my 2-year review myself...but so far it is essentially just a repeat of my 1-year review....

Wow, nice b'day present! I am happy for you.

Excellent! Just picked up my 2023 Himalayan after 21 years on a 1999 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad 1500. The 750 lbs got to be a bit much. My favorite truck - my 87 F150 with the 300 super six- i agree with the comparison! Ride safe!

finally a proper himmy review and I've watched much larger channels review these bikes! good job!

[randydodd]

I've ridden mine at 85 mph for a fifty mile stretch. The bike even reached 90 mph one time for about a minute. And it's completely stock.

Moving to northern Thailand this year and will definately be getting one of these for the winding mountain roads and exploring offroad. Speed is not essential on these type of roads and can cross borders into neighbouring countries where even the sealed roads are commonly in disrepair. Thanks for the solid review.

Awesome review and thanks for sharing big love from Australia 😊

Love your video and that you’ve done a lot of the work yourself. The compass I believe can also be a clock or set it I
On Bluetooth Navi system. I’ve just started looking at this one. It definitely has a cool factor and does handle really well off road as well as street.
Just found, liked and subscribed 🎉😂.

Great honest review, thanks for posting 👍 I bought mine last week but can't ride it yet because of the snow, looking forward to springtime! €4600 new so I'm happy with that value. Gave you a subscription and will be checking out your past and future posts. Greetings from Latvia... Harry! 😎

Merry Christmas Brother!( Happy Birthday)
Funny how the wives pick out the bikes inadvertently. Honest review and great information. Videos are on utube of this Reliable War Horse. Noraly has practically circled the planet on adventure bikes...but to Go to India and Ride her new RE out of India is Immense. A RE team brought this Himalayan motorcycles to 18, 600 feet, up the Himalayans...and it was brought to the South Pole! Why? Ask Shackleton.( Adventure/ freedom/outdoors) Bet his team would of loved a 6 pack of the RE's. These motorcycles have been in existence for 121? years. Let them perfect their motorcycles and if we're lucky enough...We will see some fortunate individual on the new 450 or 650 Scram/Himalayan. ( Had 3- F150's).
Theirs a certain Freedom or something going on with these Gems and I am getting in line for one, or two possibly. That RE 350 classic signals is absolutely Gorgeous. Stay Safe out there.

Your Videos are great. Always puts me in a better mood after watching it. You just have a happy positive attitude that rubs off on your viewers. Beautiful place you get to ride your Himi. I have a 22, same color as yours. Just curios if you notice the engine quieting down at your milage vs say 300 or 500 miles?

[WayneMcgee-lpgd]

Appreciate the video. I plan to get me one pretty soon was considering a klr but the fuel mileage and the fact that I'm 5" 10" with a good pair of boots on has about settled it. And the price.
You must be from my neck of the woods? I'm guessing "Alabama"?

[marcpillis]

Thanks for another good video. I heard you mention you also have a DR. Is it a DR650? I have DR650 and been drooling over the Himalayan for awhile. Do you find that there is much overlap between the 2 bikes?

[TheBezaleel]

6 cm higher wind shield from Hicthcocks Uk works perfectly for my 5 foot 9 inches height.

[jbrown]

Would you trust it to go across country? I'm looking for a bike to do the TAT on. If I need parts on the way I'm just worried about dealers.

Applause to the wife, very nice bike.
