These are the kind of reviews that count. Bikes that get properly used. Not the ''long-term'' reviews amounting to about two weeks that a lot of oversubscribed KZread vloggers put out. I do like a man who doesn't wash his motorbike. Excellent review.

One of the great things about the Hima ownership is that they're mostly people like you who are having fun and not taking themselves quite so seriously as the GS people. What a nice added benefit. Love these silly yet informative vids, man.

Genuinely laughed out loud at the Honda paint pen 2001 Space Odyssey reference! Good stuff!

Not nearly as funny as the Indiana Jones skit

An ACTUAL long term review, by an ACTUAL owner! As opposed to a "long term review" that amounts to a two week loan to an oversubscribed YT vlogger... BRAVO!! Had my 2020 model since December, 2019, and echo your thoughts exactly. Thanks for sharing.

Just watched that video you referenced too 🙄 I just got one of these bikes and I'm so excited

This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen. I was already pretty much sold on the Himalayan but this really helped inform my decision. Almost certainly getting one within the next few weeks. Thanks.

Glad you liked it! I really pulled out the stops on this one but I may have shot myself in the foot as I’ve raised the bar on what viewers can expect when they see that I’ve posted a new video 🤦‍♀️. I’ve actually scraped 2 entire videos since this one because I felt they didn’t live up to this one. Thanks for the compliment and once again- glad you enjoyed it.

Two minutes in, and I already like this guy more than any mobike reviewer! Kudos, man!

For the starting issues, you might consider an iridium plug. It’s a cheap upgrade and my bike runs and starts a lot better.

You are hilarious! 😂 Indianna Jones is right.. 2018 bs4, no abs, no bs period. My wife loves to ride shotgun, says it's very comfortable. Had a faulty fuel pump relay, compass takes a vacation sometimes but seems to recalibrate itself, no complaints with the brakes. After all this time, I still love my mule!

1 min into the video and I know Uncle you are a gem and we gotta cross paths in this lifetime. Cheers from India, waiting for Himalayan delivery in 10 days.

Really great review. The Honda paint pen had me chuckle out loud. Thx for taking the time to make this vid.

Love how honest this review is. Pros and cons done well, love the humour in this video too.

Just a big thanks for the video, I appreciate your added story telling elements from those 70's and 80's films. :)

This was one of the best videos I have seen hands down ever and it was so refreshing that you are not like most other KZread personalitys who sell out for ads like this video was great funny and very informative 👍👍👍👍👍

I needed this video man thank you

This is now my new benchmark for bike reviews :D Thanks for a fun one!

Followed your accessories recommandations and it worked well for me too. Done 5500km now most on small mountainroads some gravel some tarmac. On such roads the lack of power is no issue. The only pity is the compass that's not working. An analog watch would have been a better choice. The bike is absolutely reliable and makes so much fun. Its even socializing.I've been addressed as I would carry a puppy with me. The bike just puts a smile on peoples face. Thanks fot your vid - great cinema as always.

Your review style is awesome! Love the mix of good real life experience and your sense of humor

Viewing from the U.K., I found this review educational and funny. Tell it as it is, no BS. Immediately subscribed.

Very entertaining, yet very informative. I was hoping to come across a Himalayan review that reassured me of my decision to purchase one and your video has done just that. Thanks for the review and amusing commentary.

I recently sat down and watched “2001 A Space Oddysey” with my grandson. I laughed at your parody with the paint stick. A good commentary on the complexity of simple things these days, and how simple things are usually better to use with much less frustration and muttering to yourself. Keep up the good work.

Bestest Himalayan review i've seen. Subscribed.

Sir, not only this review was very direct and informative, but also SUPER entertaining. Great video!

Damn it, boy! Your production is fantastic for a YTer! Loved that 2001 A Space Odyssey reference!

Love mine. You pretty much captured why. Also, the paint pen bit was glorious.

Awesome video mate, enjoyed the humour! Keen to get my first Himalayan 🇦🇺

Fantastic video freaking hilarious. Love the Indiana Jones part it totally fits that bike. I picked up a 2020 with no miles on it in March, and put almost 12,000 miles on it since then. I love it. I will say that you and I differ on the comfort of the seat. After a long trip it's excruciating for me. I got an Air hawk pad and that helps a lot. I did a KZread video on the fuel economy for the Himalayan over something like 52 fill ups, I referenced your video and mileage in there. We were right on the same wavelength. I've had it on the highway for too long stretches one was 650 miles and the other one was 550 MI * 2 for both ways and it runs at high revs a little bit but it's fine even at 10 hours straight. I prefer

Great vid/bike update, only just seen this vid "don't know why" had a good laugh as well ! Keep it up, wishing you a happy new year!

This was truly a great review and extra entertaining with that 2001 A Space Odyssey homage & the ninjas.

This review is hilarious but very informative. Thank you!

Really enjoyed this review & laugh out loud! Thanks American cousin!

Absolutely brilliant video ! There can surely be no greater endorsement of a machine's "fit for purpose" than when you said that if circumstances robbed you of your current Himalayan, you would immediately go out and buy a new model, identically equipped as the bike you now have. Thanks very much. Plus I love the daftness :-) .

This was the funniest and most interesting video I watched this week... thanks for the data and please never change your great attitude towards life 💯🅰➕👌 I applaud you standing 👏👏👏

1:37." This is what a motorcycle is supposed to look like ". Thank you for your video. I really enjoyed ALL the props. You are very practical and down to earth.......like me. Maybe because I am 66 !! If RE was available in my country, I certainly would have bought one. Thank you very much. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

First video I've seen with you fantastic video just the right amount of corny humor at my age

Nothing I love more than unfiltered silliness. Really dramatic with it too. Besides that really good honest review. Besides the gags there is absolutely no fluff. You may be happy to hear that with the later Himalayans and Scram the idling issue was fixed. I am not sure what caused it but apparently it can be fixed with a better quality spark plug. I think the later versions of the bike just idle a little higher. I was looking for a review like this as I am interested in the Scram 411 which is basically the same bike.

Thats for a great honest and entertaining review, and real review by reviewing the bike for what is really is. I'm a Royal Fan I have a 650 and I love that bike, cheers buddy.

Good video! Enjoyed the humor and your honest review!

Funny as Review, I thoroughly enjoyed it thank you

Great followup video. Very valuable information

Thank you for this video, my day is better,. And I am happy that there are people who still drive bikes for right reason. God bless

Thank you for making this video. I just bought one and have seen videos that make me concerned about it's reliability. But seeing your experience and how I plan to use it in the exact same manner, makes me feel a lot better. Thank you.

love your review, many thanks.

Great review. Genius Indiana Jones bit

YOU are the best!!! that Space Odyssey 2001n sequence was absolutely AWESOME, i cracked up laughing, still grinning now. Dude, you are a true hero!

The production quality on this is awesome.

Great video, I really like the Himalayan.

Nice one. I rode one a few years ago, having not ridden in a few years. I instantly felt comfortable and confident on it. I kind of fell in love with it. I ended up buying a DR650, and now own a 2016 Africa Twin - could I see myself on one of these in the future? Definitely. I hope they build a Himalayan SP with better suspension, brakes, and maybe 50hp - otherwise identical. - That is a bike we desperately need in the ADV market.

Clean, concise, informative and entertaining. The only thing Royal Enfield Himalayan can't do is transform into battle armour. Thank you.

The tripper on my 2022 is actually pretty cool, assuming you have cell service, plus they replaced the old compass with a gear position indicator in its place. Great review.

Love the review and the comedy factor 🙂

Not retro but timeless. I like it. Great review!

I bought a 2022 model with 9miles on it this year and someone approached me and said, "What year is that thing it looks great!" I said it was a 2022 and it had less then 50 miles on it. He then said, "I didn't realize they still made bikes that look like that and He needed to get one!" Definitely a head turner if you like motorcycles that look like motorcycles should.

The Roci.... Thats apt. Brilliant review.

Great review buddy 😀😀❤️❤️ love from india 🇮🇳

Uncle Voodoo, just a point. Turn on closed captions. I can't hear and a few of us seniors have a similiar impairment. I am really looking forward to REH reviews. Thanks. Ciao.

The paint pen montage is fucking brilliant!

Just found your channel, after riding a himalayan for 8 months I cannot agree with you more on all these points. Couldn’t stop laughing on the unleash the donkeys part ahahahaha this bike is so imperfect that it’s become perfect for me and for what i ride 😅 it just makes sense and it gets the job done

I have had the same bike for a year and 6k miles. Your review is spot on. Around town and on the trail, its perfect. Even on the highway it's not that bad. I can cruise at 75mph all day so long as I am willing to take a hit to my mpg's (still better than a big bore bike). My only complaint is the windscreen to headlamp housing rattle above 4500rpm. The fix, like the bike, is simple. Just a bit of electrical tap lining the inside of the lamp housing and automotive door edge guards on the windscreen. Last note about your review. The comments. Everywhere I go, people want to talk about the bike. Harley guys. Gixxer guys. Old lady's filling up their Buick. Everyone seems to love the styling.

Ive won 2 bike shows with a pair of bikes I used to own..... so it's fair to say I know a good looking bike when I see one. I get more comments from random people on the Himalayan (and even more on my Honda Monkey) than those two bikes ever got.

What a pleasant change to watch a bike review with bulls**t and funny too. I'm probably getting one for those trails in deepest Argentina.

Great review. I have seen some one on KZread changing the compass out for a volt meter.

Great video man. I found out some companies wanted to swap to all electric soon and decided I'd get a couple brand new gas powered bikes to keep forever. I started with the CT125 and am absolutely loving it. I was telling some buddies I was gonna get the Himalayan or a CRF300L. My wife overheard me talking and surprised me with a 21 himmy this Sept. I'm loving it! If I can swing it in year or two I may still get the 300. I rode a Zero, the baddest one you can buy. It was awesome, fast, more torque than anything I've ever ridden, but it was soulless. After an hour it was a snooze fest...... The electric bike isn't gonna be for me. Thanks for the video man. I have the video up of the night I got mine, I was in shock and still am!
