    Come on man: the instrument cluster on this thing is beautiful, even the compass! What do you want a tablet on it? Maybe you're right about the fuel gauge, but it doesn't give crazy readouts.

    @@TheGlassFamilyvlog I think a digital instrument cluster would really look out of place on such a vintage looking adventure bike. Much on the same way the Yamaha Bolt has a round speedo dial, but a horrible rectangle display that looks like it came from the original Gameboy. Careful with an LED upgrade, the halogen reflector is designed for a halogen bulb. So make sure that on the LED light, the module itself is in a good position to ensure the reflector actually reflects the light correctly instead of throwing a short beam or dazzling oncoming traffic.

    I'm 6' 240. I don't think I would have any problem with the weight. I'm used to riding a large Harley. I also have a KLR650, which is no lightweight. I absolutely do not want an LED headlight. I have been blinded too many times at night by those. I have had to literally wear sunglasses at night because of others using LED headlights. Anybody that can't see well enough with a halogen headlight has vision problems. ALL engines should be warmed up for several minutes before putting a load on them anyway. Taking off with a cold engine will definitely wear out the engine a lot sooner. My KLR is liquid cooled, and I was stranded once out in the middle of nowhere because the liquid cooling system sprung. And I really appreciate that this bike comes with a centerstand. I had to put an aftermarket centerstand on the KLR. And this is by far the best looking dual sport/adventure bike I have seen in decades. It looks like a motorcycle not a spaceship. I would definitely permanently disable the ABS. I plan to get one January 2022.

    I think your the first American i have seen to review the Himalayan. Others put out great videos but sometimes things are not the same. The likes and dislikes vary from country to country and even from state to state the riding style can be a world of different, Ridding on rocks and boulders that litter every trail in some parts of the country would turn me away from off road riding. I like the stuff your detailing your individual thoughts about your bike. The instrument cluster seems way ahead of the average Japaneses motorcycle with a barely lit gray scale box detailing virtually nothing. The whole industry needs to come into the 20th century with color screens and built in navigation access or at least fuel and mileage details like modern vehicle. The Himalayan is on my list of possibilities.

Easy to check out on here . As for the clocks ,traditional styled and functional ,way to go.

    I like the Retro Styling so much I'm still riding my 06 KLR 650. About to click off 150K miles on it. It's heavy and not a wheeliee machine. But it has taken me to all the great long distance North American Trails without issues. (Other than that time I bought bad gas in Arkansas.) TOD, TAT, Continental Divide etc.... My custom built crash bar set up has saved it from many mishaps. Thought about replacing it with a Himalayan, but since they weigh almost the same, and my water cooled KLR and I are very intimate, 685cc's, balanced and blue printed + ported head and every other Mod that has come down the pipe since it was first introduced. I'm going to have a hard time selling it. I even added a kickstarter to mine as a backup to the electric start....... I do like the looks of this machine, and maybe when the KLR gets crashed beyond repair I'll get one. Definitly worth considering. The new KRL's have too much tupperware for my liking. Good review,especially since I am the same size and weight as you.

    @@StpBks Unfortunately that just means Enfield is providing the US market with the old model. Perhaps there was a Type Approval barrier to importing the new model, but as they are selling the new model in Europe, this seems unlikely. I think as a minimum they should have fitted the new, stronger rear rack to the US models. If there's an accident due to a broken rack, I think there could be a legal case. Enfield are aware of a weakness with the rack, developed a stronger rack for their new model, but continued to supply the old one to the US and other markets. I'm not sure if any other motorcycle manufacturer does a global launch of a new model, then continues to sell the old model in selected markets?

    I think this is not 2021, the version of Himalayan. This year version has a navigation gauge and plate and not a grill at the tail. Maybe I am wrong, but I got one and it doesn't look like this one. There is no thickening on the exhaust pipe which is an addition to the eco standard exhaust 2021. And, If you say that it weighs more than 200 pounds, you probably mean weight with fluids. Because, without liquids, this engine weighs 191 kg, which is less than 200 pounds.

    On the sidewall of your tire is a rotation arrow. Double check. Mine is the same as Whiskey Throttle's. You might notice the chevron pattern is opposite the front tire vs the back tire. (The back tire's main job is pushing and the front tire's main job is stopping.)

But if they can't fix it they should replace it with a Beeline bc that's what I would use instead.

Due to electrical power spikes when starting the clock often resets itself so also worthless. That's just the instrument cluster. I can go on about clunky transmission that occasionally pops into neutral etc... much more. It's a junk bike. And I own one.
