Okay , I owned a 411 for two years and have just today ridden the new 450. What difference a vastly superior bike in every way. My god all the poor people who can’t lift the bike off the side stand what the hell are they going to do if they drop it, hire a crane. I’m 66 and had no problem with the side stand in fact I was sick of picking up the 411 when the wind blew it over. The new bike accelerates better is safer on the motorway as you are not a mobile chicane. The old bike was good because it was cheap and plodded along, I know which one I prefer 450 wins easily 👍

Today i watched your video, Sydney to london. It was was incredible and small bike and big dream. I am from Pakistan and i have 150 cc motorcycle. Last year i decided to go turkey by road with 150 cc bike. But some of friends suggest me dont go on small bike. After watching your video, it can be done with small bike. Love from Pakistan.

I think they have nailed the looks. Looks like a purposeful big bike. The triumph looks like a toy

Many of those trails are well over a thousand years old. Which is why they are so deep. Those hedges would have been just a metre high when the road was first established, now through hundreds of years of erosion by water, they can be 3 to 4 metres deep.

650 interceptor is similar , heavy to lift of the side stand compared to a triumph twin.

Znakomity test. Brawo. Sprzedałem VStroma 650 i kupiłem Himalayana 450. Jestem zachwycony wszechstronnością tego motocykla. To taki wszędołaz, zwinny, lekki w prowadzeniu, bardzo oszczędny, spala mi ok 3l/100 km. Ten motocykl daje wolność, nie ma większych ograniczeń terenowych by jechać. Serdecznie pozdrawiam z Polski.

I'm delighted you came through my local area of West Cork, it is beautiful and you had the weather on your side what a bonus. I love watching your reviews on smaller capacity motorbikes, Royal Enfield has always been on my radar but for the time being I will potter around on my Fazer 600 which is too fast for me these days.

CRF450L anyone?

Be interesting to know if they can be resoled

The way i see it is re 411 - porche 911 air cooled re 450 - porche 911 water cooled Guess which one has appreciated more over time? the 911 air cooled.

Good honest review

Tyres should have been of softer rubber

I’d take the new Himalayan, if only to challenge your previous concerns and see how it felt on a proper tour. I think given how you felt about it, there will be so many people out there wanting to know more, who might have had second thoughts about buying one, especially with the likes of CF Moto and Voge offering good value alternatives.

Dealer supports probably not on par with major brands.

Would much rather support India.

This is video am looking for... After I brought this 😅

Really good vid, saw so many and skiped so many because all they did was talk and never showed the bike actually riding. So 👍

I would like to get one but the nearest dealer is 200 miles away, I have 2021 himmi which is easy to service and maintain myself, a 400 mile round trip is out of the question. We did have a dealer in Aberdeen but they closed down!!

The 411 is still a much better looking bike. They didn't need to change the design of the original, just add a little more 'poke'. second hand prices of 411's have dropped. A great time to buy one.

I do get tired of negative comments from people who have never ridden this bike , it is what it is , its not a high price high power bike its affordable and will sell to people who accept it for what it is.Good review and well balanced comments.

Nice, What tank bag had mount?

Well said.

Wow what a brilliant review, everything you say makes so much sense. Maybe this engine will be more at home in a road going 450 Hunter, sounds as if RE will need to find another platform for it to make better use of it. I have sat on the 450 Himalayan and it does feel very top heavy and like you say lifting it off the side stand you definitely feel all it's weight. I think RE have really missed the target with this bike, as you said most people just wanted a little bit more power. Keep the air cooled engine but just get the power up to around 30 plus bhp. I guess most people will look at the old 411 and just fit better air flow and exhaust system and maybe a performance cam from TEC and make a better bike from the old one than RE have made of the new one.

I was lucky enough to borrow one for the day. Beautiful Algarve roads, sunshine, lovely g/f on the back…. I liked the look of it. I loved the Marshall sound system. But everything else was a massive disappointment! Nathan’s comments are spot on.

Sidi adventure 2 have been brilliant for me over 4 years all round use, still squeak like a bastard.

What no rain in Ireland no way. 8 days.

Don't think I would be happy with £300 boots and stitching coming undone already! I've had some O'Neal Sierra pro boots for over a year now and still solid and we're £180. Super comfortable and waterproof

Yeah, have almost the same boot from same manufacturer … I like them too … comfortable and they do a fairly good job staying dry! Thanks Nate!!

Can't wait for Iceland.

My TCX Drifters leak 😬💦 Interested to hear about how Gaerne’s hold up.

Love my Gaerne Dakars, a great lightweight waterproof tourer with a little extra reinforcement. It's like putting slippers on after wearing my stompy MX guys around.

Hi, just wondering if can can recommend a good pair of trail / green lane motorcycle pants, at a reasonable price. Ta DC.

See where the lower strap is stitched in under the leather? That strap will tear off easily as the needle has neatly perforated the plastic strap. These boots look very much like my pair of Forma boots and a couple of those straps have failed in that manner in quick time. Good luck with yours.

Sorry, i misheard you...' we went to Ireland 🇮🇪 and had no rain ' ...😂😂.

EDITED: gearnes too small on the calves for me, so went with the Alpinestars Corozal Adventure Drystar as they fitted my calves.

They look good. I know my Forma Adventure Lows are waterproof because every time I fill them with water, they stay full. 😅

I’ll second that about boots. I normally wear sealskinz socks as well, to doubly protect my pinkies. 👍😁

Where is the road around the 1:20 mark please?

Just bought some Gaerne Fastbacks. Beautiful boots. Lovely jubbly

Drying boots. Boil some rocks. Pop them in your boots overnight. SORTED

Been looking for a new boot with some actual grip on the sole and you can walk in, my current Alpinestars are very comfortable (when riding) and waterproof, but there's no grip and the are not fun to walk in. Might give these a go.

I use the Gaerne 12s which are getting more comfortable as I wear them in. Not waterproof, but I wear seal skins because I work on the principle that water will eventually get over the top anyway and a wet goretex boot is no better than a wet non-goretex boot.

I think that the most amazing thing about this vid is: 2:02 we went to Ireland and didnt get any rain!

Broken stitching on a new £330 boot is not a great start, but I bet SBS will want to know about it and will do something about it.

You'll need some new "adventure" socks to go with them too Nathan.😂😂😂

Look good. Try some silicone spray for the squeak!

i use alpinestars mx boots very stiff so not easy to walk in and there not water proof but my socks are

Def looking like a trip over there is on the cards! Cheers Nathan!

Probably one of the best unbiased motorcycle reviews on UA-cam. A man of Integrity 👏 👏 An honest man. Thank you Nathan, great video as always. I was beginning to lose faith in a lot of the motorcycle videos because of Marketing and Click Bait titles. I was blocked 🚫 by one of our leading UK 🇬🇧 motorcycle vloggers for not liking where he positioned a tool kit bag.

I might be visiting Las Vegas later this year, who did you hire your motorcycles from? Thanks
