Go get it James! I just got back into riding last year. Got a street bike and waiting on a KLX230 to be mine in April. I went and sat on a new Himalayan last week. VERY nice, and that ultra low center of gravity makes it feel lighter than a CRF250L.

Hello there I am Ujjwal pradhan from Sikkim a small Himalayan state in the North Easte India and I am a royal Enfield Himalayan rider since 2017 and have ridden about 17000 km on it in the Himalayan ranges across Nepal ,Bhutan and India and it is amazing bike it has taken me to breath taking places with a view and never let me down ,much love for the Royal Enfield Himalayan all around the world ❤️ #royalenfield #himalayan

I bought a new Himalayan about 10 months ago and I love it! I think I probably got the second one ever sold in Utah. I live in Northern Utah with about a thousand miles of desert two track roads and single track trails out my back door and I'm only about 20 miles from high mountain country. I go trail riding in the low desert hills or I grab my pack fly rod and take it up in the mountains to remote fly fishing spots whenever I can. I am fine with the power, torque and speed. I'm over 60 and don't really enjoy going freeway speeds on a bike nearly as much as I used to. I'm also fairly tall- over six feet and weigh about 285. So far it has carried me up and over any hill or mountain- dirt or paved that I've attempted. It's a fun bike!

Hope you keep enjoying those utah roads. Good times

After watching the whole video, I must say that for someone with only 3k subs, this video, editing and content wise was done very well. Good stuff, and a deeper look at the Himalayan than I’ve seen before.

"It's finally finished, but I got a few more things I wanna do to it". Classic :)

I bought a 2019 Himalayan for my first bike. I have since fallen in love with riding motorcycles, especially out in the hills! Thanks for all the info on accessories, you shared lots of things that a newbie like me would have never have thought of like the mudgaurd rising kit.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your Himalayan videos! I am envious of your access to such great roads, trails, and terrain. It is illegal to ride off-road anywhere here in NJ except for Wharton State Forest where the trails are all sand, almost impassable because of the very sugar-fine consistency of the sand. I admire your outlook and attitude - keep those great videos coming!

id probably go crazy if I couldn't ride off road. I feel your pain.

I'd be moving "the break light" further back, inline with the turn signals so it is not covered by the luggage strapped to the rear rack, truck drivers sit pretty high up and wont see the break light activate.

I am 79 and enjoy riding my ‘98 Kawasaki 800. Good road bike. Happy riding!

@@UncleVoodoo not sure if you watched @itchy boots but well worth catching her vids about going round the world on a Himmie, especially about the spare parts she took and the awful fuel the Himmie can run on!

I have similar accessories on my own Himalayan. The Barkbusters are well worth the money - they keep my hands dry and warm even in winter. I also have Givi 3-point engine bars. I fitted a magnetic sump plug. Made by Dimple in USA. I have been using their products on all my bikes for many years. It's amazing how much they trap that the oil filter would miss.

18 year old here looking to get into motorcycling and looking at the Himalayan for my first bike, and sir I must say I love your videos. I think you have a great camera personality (whatever that means) and I absolutely love your pop culture references. The included flux capacitor really sold me on this bike!

This is the 2nd Himalayan video of yours I’ve watched tonight. They’ve been informative, creative, and funny. Thanks!

This is killer set up ! Not only is it practical but it looks great too .

Got to say I like the pocket clip mod the most. That's a unique fix for a common problem . cool build.

Love the Back to the Future reference, 😆. Great video and value on the RE

Loving the flux capacitor, need to get myself one of those Ha Ha!!, great set up you have now, ready to rock the world

Enfield are getting more popular now, likewise there is getting to be a cottage industry in accessories. A nice bike, I like what you’ve done with it. Thanks for posting.

Great video, straight to the point with no waffle. I had to change the seat. It was dire.

I was listening to thks video casually in the background while working, just digging your commentary on the bike, and the ending was so unexpected I absolutely lost it. Legend 🙌

I’m glad I stuck around to the end! That was great!

Hitchcocks are the best for parts for any Enfield, I do a lot of touring on one of these first thing I did was to remove the crazy top front mudguard then a tool roll can be fitted. Best of luck mate a great bike.

Seems that you should be prepared for adventure now. Have a save ride.

Greetings from Costa Rica, Uncle Voodoo! I enjoy not only your reviews but your cheeky sense of humor: the imported roads from Beirut and the Flux capacitator are just golden! I am planning on getting my Himalayan to tackel the rain forest trails of Costa Rica...send you some vids later! Pura Vida.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I WILL own a Himalayan one day

You know, the Himalayan is a great bike. I love what you’ve done with yours. Thanks for giving the prices, etc. There’s no use beating around the bush. I just pre-ordered the Honda CRF300L Rally, but, I’ve always wanted a Himalayan as a second bike. Happy Trails

That ending was absolutely awesome.👍

This is superb walk around and no display of wisdom. @Uncle Voodoo I am completely thrilled with this and very soon I will commence my journey. Please keep on posting your valuable videos.

Really useful video thanks, and the finishing sequence ......absolutely brilliant!

Right on , great report !! Thanx !! the rear rack and brake master guard would be the FIRST upgrade s for me !!

I like what you've done to your bike dude, I can tell that your serious about your motorcycling, nice one 👍.

I followed your advice and ordered the phone mount at Hondos Garage and I'm absolutely happy with it. It's totally worth the money. In my footage I can see the windscreen shaking but the landscape is absolutely stable. Top.

Excellent, really entertaining and informative. Just need the Tutoro auto chain oiler and you will have the complete bike ! Keep em coming.

A really nice setup you got.

You’re right about the screen. I just took mine off and my friend cut down his screen with a dremel. Generic hand guards for £25, small notch cut for cable but you don’t notice.

interesting to see what other people are doing with their himalayan. I went with a green chili soft panier rack. saved a decent chunk of money. but I live in a city, and don't ever leave luggage on my bike as it lives outside. Hitchcock's tends to get good reviews, nice to see their stuff out in the wild.

Ahaha nice ending! Good sensible accessories. I will get some of these for Waynetta, my Royal Enfield Himalayan Thanks for sharing 👍

Great video man. I actually have the same bike and a few of the same accessories...and love them all. You've given me some good ideas as well. Also thanks for the tip on the temperature sensor in the previous video. Cheers.

I haven't been on a motorcycle in 10 years getting back on one. Bought a 2021 Himalayan because I I in the country with country roads ,back country roads with patched potholes and unpatched potholes it will handle where I ride it well. Mine is a Rock Red without the tripper built in January 2021 I don't know if it has a flux capacitor, but I'm 65 years old and don't plan on riding at 88 mph to find out enjoy your videos very educational and entertaining I used to play with Jeeps when I was younger. Wasn't sure what motorcycle to get but I think I made a wise choice Popular in Northeast Ohio 3 other ones in my neighborhood.

Well done.....and entertaining to boot!!

Have fun and keep us informed regarding long term reliability.

Very well put together video and your bike looks really good. I would kit mine out the same more or less with the exception of hard panniers.

Banned? Really? I have a 125 that kickstarts easily. Actually the electric starter is broken, so it's kick only. Have kickstarted other bikes as well. Yamaha Xt550, suzuki gs 850, honda cb500 for example. The more fractioned the engine is, the easier they are to start. Anyway, not an issue. My yamaha FZ750 is easy to push start. Still, kicking is easier than pushing. I'd rather have a kick lever in the middle of a trail with a low battery, than having to push a bike like this in the mud.

That ending blew me away! #HippieBikertheSolivagant

Every Himalayan could have that flux capacitor. It activates at 88 mph. Uncharted territory for this bike.

Fully loaded I doubt it will make 88

My 2 c worth. 1) 10 mm isn't quite enough in my experience with knobby tyres and rocks getting stuck in the side walls and rotating around hitting the fender mounts. 15 mm is better. 2) To carry extra fuel and water I use Naz tank bags to hold 12L bladders. They are made of canvas and cheap. Made in Oz. 3) I am a fan of Mosko Moto Reckless 80 holster style soft luggage. There is no need for pannier racks and less likely to break your legs, plus 100% waterproof.

I love the way you equipped your bike. It has everything I envisioned doing if I bought a Himalayan. My only problem is I live so far from any dirt roads. I have to drive on Southern California freeways where everyone travels at 80+ so I need a faster bike and better braking to be safe. If I can ever talk my wife into getting out of this place, I definitely plan on moving closer to the dirt and the first thing I will do is sell my big bike for a Himalayan. Great job!

I have added a good few things to my bike (2018) but one of the best modifications has been the fitting of taper head bearings,,, Another mod was fitting the YSS front and rear suspension units,which has improved the ride from OKish to buttersmooth... $7200 is alot of cash ,,I spent around $4600 for a new clutch and big bore kit plus suspension...so I,m happy,,, regards from across the pond

Muscle exercise and it helps me to focus. Last night riding back home from the supermarket in heavy, driving tropical downpours. I was gripping my Royal Enfield Meteor 350 tank with my knees and it helped. I hope I can find the Tank Pads here in Bangkok. Best regards, Bangkok-Johnny*

It's a lovely bike.

may be a suspension upgrade kit will be a good addition for better ground clearance, changing all light bulbs to led's and a lithium battery(save weight) and last but not least an Akrapovik exaust (again save weight). grezt form Belgium.
