So at 6250 very close to the honda 500x
2024 Himalayan 450
- Thread starter Arsey
- Start date
750 more than the triumph
The 500X no longer exists but the new NX 500 starts at £6799. So the Himalayan starts at over a grand cheaper .

Triumph is very small and has cast wheels, not great off road so not really comparible.
I’d not agree it’s very small but it’s definitely built to a price and is more for a cheap poser than off-road

congratulations to mr Arsey 
I did think I may be a bit low.

Apparently no tubeless bikes until October 2024 ish
That’s a bit of a problem then. I suspect most buyers will be road riders who would prefer tubeless.
My Africa twin has tubes...not had an issue in more than 30k miles. (It is also chain drive....oft cited as being shite by those in the know.....seems to work just fine with the odd squirt of oily stuff)
Don’t think it would bother me, in fact I was thinking that £200 extra was a bit steep for tubeless rims.
I’m thinking tubeless would be easier to plug when punctured.
Undoubtedly more convenient when it comes to ‘normal’ punctures and they are supposed to be a bit safer as they deflate less rapidly than a tubed tyre for some reason I don’t really understand!
I prefer tubeless and have them on my current bike, but if you have a puncture that damages the carcass in a tubeless wheel you are screwed (I've seen flint tear a hole into a tyre around Claerwen Reservoir in Wales with no hope of repairing it). At least with a tubed tyre you can put a new tube in and carry on.
I still prefer tubeless though, because as mentioned normal punctures are easy to sort.

Not sure shaft is better ,my mate does not think so , the moment when his Guzzi V85 spews oil onto the rear tyre well into tour of Swiss/France this year.Chain is a little more straightforward
Best with sound.
New clutch ordered!
To quote the Indian reviewers “ Insane “ torque. The Triumph Speed 400 has insane torque too.
Best review so far:
08:06 and a bit. Classic.
