Thought I’d start a new thread with actual reviews.
2024 Himalayan 450

I must say I really liked the bike, especially in black/yellow.
The more I see it , the more I like it.
I am just at the moment clearing the garage to make room .
I’m wondering about selling the ADV and getting one.
Price will be key, it may be one of those bikes that does well in a few countries but isn't made for loads of others due to price and complexity. (I loved the half hour ride on one 2 years ago)
Price wise I’m going to hazard a guess they’ll keep it under £6k in UK.
So I’m going to guess at £5795.

I've heard rumours of £6500 and £7200. I don't believe it will be sub 6K now (in UK).
I think at over 6k it wont sell well.
The integral navigation, looks to be decent. That is a bit of good news, as it was tricky to see how to mount a GPS unit. I assume though that it’s not simple A to B navigation, ie. it will take bespoke routes.
Assume the same.
We did try fiddling with it in Milan but it wouldn’t load so must need a phone app or sumfink.
Royal Enfield have a functioning, if very basic, navigation app for phones, which links to a small screen on my Himalayan. I am guessing that Royal Enfield might have beefed it it up for the new TFT screen. We shall see.
This is a screenshot from the video in the opening post. It looks, if nothing else, very similar to the BMW Connected app’s look, which I believe (though I coukd be wrong) is based on a TomTom system. It is not possible to tell from the video whether this is a simple A to B route (pretty easy to do in mountains, where there is only one road from A to B) or a bespoke route.
The more I see of this bike, the more I'm liking it.
It looks a great bike and Itchy seems to be enjoying it from the 2 episodes I've seen so far. I suspect it'll sell faster than they can build them but if they want even more sales, they'll bring out a larger engined version. Say a 700cc, same sort of spec as this, priced well. The 2 models would cover a fair chunk of the market.
Stunning in black . Ok in white . There’s also a grey
