He said THAT about the Himalayan 450?

One moto-journalist fell hard for the Himalayan 450 off-roader.

 Jorge Pullin was right. Telling potential customers they are "idiots" if they pass up the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is an unusual way to praise a motorcycle you tested. 

Jonathon Klein sampled the Himalayan 450 on treacherous trails in Utah, and concluded this: 

"Seriously, if you buy a new adventure motorcycle that isn't a Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 in the year of our dark lord 2024, you're a moron. It may just well be perfect. At least, that's how I feel after flogging the ever-living hell out of it and not finding a single flaw." 

His lengthy review appeared in RideApart. 

It is noteworthy because, as he relates, he at first doubted the Royal Enfield had much to offer adventure riders. 

"'It's a scrambler for folks that want to cosplay as adventurers,' I whispered to myself as I looked over the bike in the conference room. "

He then uses an expletive to admit how wrong he was about that.

A big reason from his opinion, Klein explains, is the Himalayan 450's price tag.

Royal Enfield formally introduced the Himalayan 450 in the U.S. on Aug. 25, 2024, in four different colors varying in MSRP from $5,799 to 6,099. Two more options, one including tubeless tires, will come later.
