4500 KM - Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 - REVIEW

4500km on a pre-production RE, the high naked mountains of the Himalayas, 600+ episodes, a marriage party, camels, elephants, all the chai you can drink, delicious food, stunning architecture, lovely people and two mirrors intact. Congrats Noraly on another epic adventure 🥰

Looking back at India it has been a wonderful journey. Desert , mountains , monkeys, elephants, camels, temples, forts , palaces. Blue, pink , tan cities and just a great assortment of beautiful people being people. Wonderful food and probably the best Chi tea you can imagine I did not realize how diverse India was , so thanks for taking us along and sharing your perspective.

"I'm not good with reviews". You are one of the few persons whose opinion I actually trust. You basically sold me the original 411, which has been a proud companion on many adventures.

One of the most qualified people on the planet to give a review on adventure/dual sport/travel bikes... starting off by being humble and warm and cute about not being good at reviews. Sigh. Love!

You know what , there are people who are showing bad parts of India and they are often bullying Indians over hygiene, population and sanitation etc. But they forget that every place has its beauty too. I really appreciate Noraly for showing the “Good India” which we truly feel proud of as Indians. The beautiful villages, Indian chai, always smiling and kind people, historical places , heritage buildings and monuments , etc from east to west and north to south India is so diverse yet so unique. Thank you Noraly for taking a ride through our country and showing it to the people in a positive way. I hope you had a great time in India . Will miss your vlogs in India . Namaste 🙏

Sad that the Indian episodes came to an end. What an amazing country. I hope you will go back there and explore all of India

The problem with the screen flicker is that RE has used an OLED panel which has a PWM rate. Basically all oleds have this pwm frequency which causes this flickering on phones and also televisions. Now the naked eye cant spot this but the camera will definitely. Some people are also very sensitive to this pwm flicker and it can cause eye strain ,headaches and fatigue when you look at it for long time. I am an lcd screen supporter and dont like these oled screens with such flicker. Its really good that you raised this issue Noraly 👏👏

Giving up the bike and leaving India at the same time must be quite emotional for her. Anyone else who's with her on this journey all through India up until this video 🙋🙋‍♀️

I can't believe the Indian/Himalayan adventure is over. Thanks so much to Royal Enfield for loaning you this pre-production bike. I'm sure they've received a lot of positive feedback and great press from their association with you and your 1.89 million subscribers. Your fans all await your return to Africa. We also wonder if your experience with the more powerful Himalayan might make you ditch your Honda. Stay tuned.

Surviving the Indian traffic without a single incident, I honestly congratulate you to both your riding skills and good fortune! Thanks for sharing your impressions on the bike, it's clearly a testament that for having exceptional experiences in remote locations of this planet, it doesn't take an exceptionally big or expensive motorbike. Thank you for taking us along on that journey, and all the best for your next trip to Africa! 😊

That was an incredible break from Africa and I really loved your return to India as I did not follow you from your beginnings. The scenery in the mountains was stunning and I can’t wait to see what Africa brings under your wheels. Always great to follow you wherever you go!

Love how you respect everyone and appreciate the local culture around you, even in passing!

You’re probably better suited to reviewing this bike than most motorcycle journalists having used the previous version and covered many miles on this one. Keep up the fantastic work and safe travels wherever you go.

What amazes me in all her trips starting from the very first trip to India is her ability to connect with people. It helps us to see the true unfiltered happiness that transcends all boundaries and peoples. Thank you Noraly.

My god, i'm crying, i cannot go to india this year. I wish I was sitting on your back. The bike looks much better & faster than the old Himalayan. better engine, suspensions, tank, but always heavy. all the best, come back to mother india.

What a great series! Almost seemed like a vacation from the rigors of Africa. Thank you! Continued safe travels!

Now that it's released I'm so excited for the most unbiased & honest review by noraly...there is no one i trust more ❤

"Noraly, this is the best review I have ever seen. As riders, we are not interested in technical details; we just want to know how that thing feels. Your review captured that perfectly. Thank you so much!"

Having had the 411 I find the upgrades to the new one seem brilliant. Can't wait to try this bike out. Thanks for the great video

Another fantastic series Noraly. Thankyou very much. Looking forward to your continued Africa adveture. Safe travels.
