We took the Himalayn's on a nice little 100 mile ride on Sunday. Much thanks to our leader Bree and tour guide Brenda and everyone at RENA.
Some quick thoughts on the bike. Great guages, lots of info and easy to read. The bike has almost no vibration, at least compared to what I am used to riding. The motor feels very refined, flat power band, likes to be above 3K RPM. Little bit of valve tick, but at a reassuring, the valves aren't to tight level. Not loud valves save lives level.
The Chassis is great, comfortable. very stable. Shake the bars and it goes right back to straight with no fuss. The suspension has you looking for potholes, not avoiding them. Footpegs are in the right location for standing.
I would say excellent size for someone 5ft 3in to a little over 6 ft. I'm in the middle of that and it fits perfect. I find KLRs and the like to be to big for anything off the pavement.
Thats my take, any questions?
