Below are my first impressions \/ observations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Beautiful bike, very good-looking I must say.<\/li>\n<li>Well put together, as everyone is talking, compared to my 2014 Bullet 500, RE has come a very long way.<\/li>\n<li>Weight distribution seems to have been managed well. Didn&#8217;t feel like 190+Kgs, felt very similar to the KTM 390 Adventure while picking it up from the side stand and while leaning (observation at a standstill \u2013 things can be very different while riding).<\/li>\n<li>I asked the folks to rev the engine, it sounded sweet and very refined, slight buzz near the fuel tank, proper test ride would reveal the real story.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Flaw<\/h2>\n<p>I felt this was somewhat important. Foot pegs were fouling with my legs and it was very annoying. It will be an issue in the city for sure. I tried with different seat heights, problem is very pronounced in the higher position and slightly reduced in the lower position (I am 5ft 9in). I also confirmed with a couple of other folks who were present, and everyone agreed that foot pegs were indeed fouling with their legs.<\/p>\n<p>Launch<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/Launch.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Observe the foot pegs fouling with my legs<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/FP%20fouling.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Foot peg fouling clear picture<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/FP%20fouling%202.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Looked very compact for a 450cc<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/Compact.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/Bike.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/YT.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/YT%202.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/himalayan-450-initial-impressions-including-one-annoying-issue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Other people who were present at the Royal Enfield showroom also agreed with me.
