Royal Enfield Himalayan Long Term Report August 2024
Royal Enfield Himalayan Long-Term Review, August 2024 Report

You see, I recently developed a new obsession that is more serious (and more expensive) than any other obsession I’ve ever had – off-roading. Well, long-time fans among us would know how coveted the Royal Enfield Himalayan is in our fleet. The keys to this plucky goat have been passed around since its arrival, and now that they have landed in my hands, I’m not giving them back if I have my way. At least, not anytime soon, and not without a fight (read: begging and pleading). You see, I've recently gotten back into off-roading, and with something a lot more serious (and expensive) than my previous off-roading obsession. The Himalayan did not disappoint. Last month, I took this bike for my first real trip into the backcountry for our exciting DesertX and Himalayan off-roading event. From the moment I took it out on gravel and sand, it proved its mettle as a capable, hardcore adventure bike. It's light, well-balanced,…

Royal Enfield Himalayan vs Ducati DesertX Off-Road Comparison

OK, let's talk reality. Have we all spent too much time watching off-road videos on YouTube? No? Just me? Whether it was marveling at Pol Tarres effortlessly riding his off-road motorcycle across gaps or watching Andy Riemann's endurance masterclass as he conquered continents, these moments ignited something inside of me. These videos and plenty of off-road travel have left me obsessed with off-road machines. I'm talking about the kind of obsession where you figure out how to make a down payment in the morning and have the bike in the garage by the afternoon. But before I could make up my mind, I needed to honestly assess my skills. I currently ride my Triumph Trident 660 almost daily, and have raced it enough to consider myself an above-average road rider. However, I know I lack the experience to confidently call myself a fast or skilled off-road rider. So, which motorcycle is best for me? A lightweight middleweight machine that requires…

Twin-cylinder Royal Enfield Himalayan spied: But it’s a

The motorcycle, at least in camouflage, looks slimmer than the Himalayan 450,…
