After riding it for 1300km I have discovered a bunch of good and not-so-good things about the new #himalayan450. Today, we will talk about the good things. Tomorrow, I will highlight the latter.

Good things:
- Seating ergos are comfy, connected, & feel completely natural.
- Ride quality is Outstanding! It crushes everything in its path without upsetting you.
- Light controls take away from fatigue of riding; make the bike feel lighter than it is.

⁃Front brake feel, bite, progression is nicely done; a boon when you are taking on the twisties.
⁃Instrumentation’s design is totally new-age and there’s good info on offer too. It is a handy unit.

- Engine performance is strong, friendly, with enjoyable mid-range. It is delightfully useable & friendly.
- Handling is impressive especially with that big 21-inch front and the long travel suspension. The bike doesn't pogo or wallow or feel ungainly.

- Makes easy work of off-road riding given its forgiving nature, especially for those who aren't very good at it.
- Finally, at Rs 2.69 L, it is good value when you consider it is the most well-rounded motorcycle that's been launched this year.
Tom, negatives…
