Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Highway Road Trip Test

A big question people have about smaller adventure bikes like the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is "can it handle a long road trip?" That's exactly what I set out to find out by taking a Royal Enfield Himalayan road trip over the mountain to Sisters, Oregon. This was a 200 mile round trip and I was riding the Himalayan 450 for approximately 4 hours all told. Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 riding for extended periods of time is surprisingly comfortable. I had very little discomfort aside from some soreness in my butt, knees, and hip flexors. None of these are out of the ordinary for a long adv bike ride. My goal is to get to 1000 miles before delivering my Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 long term review video. Testing its road tripping comfort and capability is just one of the many areas I want to be sure of before I drop my Himalayan 450 review.
