Terence Manthorpe cheers. We’re just under 6m so length less of an issue. I guess there’s pros and cons to each option.

I've come to the conclusion that the Himalayan is the equivalent to the 1940s Willys U.S. military jeep. Yeah, it's under-powered, but it's tough as hell, will go anywhere you point it, get you into anything you want, then get you right back out again if you have any kind of ability at all. ...or if you at least make an effort. Sure it's not gonna win any races, but it'll at least always finish the run. ( I've lost count of how many vehicles I've owned that couldn't make that claim. )

Watch Itchy Boots video's, a young woman travels the entire world. That proofs you are absolutely spot on. Why anyone would buy a heavy bike? Only a 100 people in the world can ride a heavy bike like what it was meant for. Who on earth is using 150 horse power on a dirt bike? For real? While traveling? Forget it, most riders would be better off riding a Himalayan. On the road that's another story, but even there, a lighter bike would do the job just as well as those license plate racers. Where are you allowed to double the speed limits? Most bikes ride 150 mph easily nowadays! Who actually travels that fast on the road? Even Germany is terminating that freedom. So, get yourself a Himalayan, and let that bike surprise you. Have fun. Ride it. Don't let it fall asleep in your garage.

Had most of these swapped with aftermarket alternatives which are well made and quite decently priced. Also swapped the tyres to tubeless ones and it made the bike lighter as well as more durable for really dodgy trails. All of that didn't cost much but made the bike way better.

Great! A nice mix of useful information for anyone considering this bike.

It’s a smooth ride and suspension is great! I fitted the GIVI engine bars which are very impressive quality and three attachment points, also have nice hand guards fitted! 👍 Not been off road yet.. it’s surprisingly difficult to find somewhere.. 🤔 I’ll eventually shoot a couple of vids about the bike itself, but hard to find a chance (however it’s dark for most of the day with horrible weather for next few months, most people put their bikes away for winter here) Look forward to more of your off road vids! 🙌

Liss: I'm not sure he can be convinced, but I do keep trying. At the end of the day, the Suzuki is the practical choice for long-distance riding (particularly in Africa - where parts are going to be hard to come by). I just wish the DR was a bit nicer looking (call me shallow).

I had a Himalayan and did around 7,000 km from new. Both stands I never really had an issue with, so perhaps the side stand on the NZ spec model was slightly different. Mine was a 2017 model with carb. Main stand I'd agree you could in my case occasionally hit (I am only 65 kg or around 9.5 stone), so your results will vary depending on your weight. As you say though very useful to have a centre stand for lubing chain or taking rear wheel out etc. I now have a Ducati Scrambler Classic which is less weight than Himalayan-3 X the horse power and far more torque. The Himalayan for a 411cc single is heavy and also for modern standards of even an average expectation the performance is low. However I'd agree with you that this is an advantage for those less experienced riding off road as it's more forgiving and far less chance of getting someone into trouble or giving them a scare. The levers you simply back the bolt off enough to hold levers in place however enough to allow them to move if you hit the deck-that way the lever assembly will move and not break. Otherwise as you have said you can add bark busters or Acerbis protectors. I had pannier frames made up to run the C bow system by Hepco Becker. Mainly because that's what I had on the previous bike and liked. They are soft luggage so compress if you come off and also not so big as to create too much added weight-around 22 litres. They lock on with a key and each have a handle so you just unlock and pick them up and walk away into your accommodation with your luggage in hand.

Ittchy boots have done it already on Himalayan.

A simple solution to the broken lever problem, loosen the clamp a little, just enough to let it move under a fall but not so much that it moves when using it. This lets the lever move out of the way if you drop the bike and could save the lever from breakage. It's not fool proof but it could save them under light drops! (When stationary , for example). Do this AND fit a good handlebar guard and you'll never have to replace a lever again! You were lucky to get the speedo cable replaced under warranty, Most maunfacturers warranties don't cover control cables. Excellent customer care from Royal Enfield!

roythearcher, Or buy some decent handguards, not the Enfield ones, they only have one fixing.

The DR650 can be lowered quite a bit. There is a second mounting hole on the rear shock, and on the front the spring and spacer can be reversed. If not still low enough, you can do links and raise the front tubes in the triple tree. The DR650 is actually a lot lighter than the Himalayan by about 60lb or 27kgs. I have looked at several bikes from India. They all seem to use lead instead of steel in the frames.

Got the same problem with my sidestand, think of shortening it. And even my midstand is kind of wiggly, uphill no problem, but as soon as. it goes just a little downhill, it does intend to fold in. I can highly recomend the givi engine guards, pretty good quality!

You are correct that the ambient temperature gauge is not accurate. It seems to be too close to the engine as once the bike is running it reads on the high side. If it's a carby model then to get the best out of the bike they need re-jetting as they run too lean in order to meet emissions. As far as a value for money adventure bike already kitted out with most of the stuff you need, like screen, bash plate, mains stand, carrier, fork gators they are pretty hard to go past. The are without doubt great value for money and a simple design which is relatively easy to work on and maintain, as well as being pretty reliable.

Nice review, thanks for your input .... 👍

The one thing I agree with is the side stand has the rong angle on it but that’s just a small point. I think Royal Enfield has a winner with this bike.

Noticed your panniers are fitted the wrong way around. They should be fitted instead of acting as a wind break if left open they close if pulling away by mistake or if they come undone while driving. How they are is really dangerous if an issue happens. Always locks to back and close in driving direction.

@RidingOnEggshells

4 жыл бұрын

Liss: Thanks for the comment. I hadn't thought about them being dangerous and it's an interesting point you raise. Having considered what you are saying, I'm going to keep them on facing the front for a couple of reasons; 1) I have driven off with the panniers unlatched a few times and due to the design it's always immediately obvious that they need to be fastened, which I have corrected before getting up to any speed. If they were backwards-facing I'd need to get off the bike to correct this. 2) It's much more practical to have the panniers facing the front. I keep water bottles and things in which I can reach without stepping off the bike. I think what you are saying is a valid point, and definitely should be a consideration when fitting panniers, in general. But for how I ride, and my experience with these particular panniers, I don't feel they pose a danger to keep them as they are.
