Few observations which are not so obvious on the internet yet.<\/p>\n<p>This bike was ridden 600+ kms and had been serviced. They got a software update as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Bad things first:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The machine certainly vibes and there is a considerable buzz below 3~3.5k rpm.<\/li>\n<li>The eco mode should be called limp mode best to be used on highways where you cruise at low speeds and do not anticipate aggressive overtakes.<\/li>\n<li>I wouldn\u2019t turn ABS off unless I have spent a considerable amount of time on this machine.<\/li>\n<li>Brakes are really sharp and the ABS is not that intrusive if you figure out how the bike brakes without ABS.<\/li>\n<li>Fit and finish for the price at few spots are not acceptable.<\/li>\n<li>The fan turns on quickly in the city and will be on 90% of the time which is acceptable, the blow from the radiator will get you on your shins certainly post 30 minutes. Short rides shouldn\u2019t be an issue around the city.<\/li>\n<li>The toggle button will fall out first on this bike, not tactile no feedback just a pain to use it, especially with gloves on.<\/li>\n<li>The TFT with basic information is really great, do not expect it to be working on all the navigation and other fancy tricks flawlessly. Couldn\u2019t connect my iPhone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Coming to the good parts:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Power band surge has oodles of torque and the bike just goes!<\/li>\n<li>Enough space with a pillion, best bike so far where my other half did not complain on the saddle in the city traffic.<\/li>\n<li>TFT with basic odo looks amazing, great readability and can\u2019t think of a better odo in the market right now.<\/li>\n<li>Sounds sweet when revved and it\u2019s addictive.<\/li>\n<li>Big bike feels and the extended wheelbase helps.<\/li>\n<li>Suspension is great, firmer than the previous iteration but gets the job done in a great way!<\/li>\n<li>Plethora of options to customise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/not-so-obvious-things-about-himalayan-450-after-2-hours-riding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The TFT with basic information is really great but do not expect it to be working on all the navigation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":249107,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Not-so-obvious things about the Himalayan 450 after 2 hours of riding - AutoMotoBuzz.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/not-so-obvious-things-about-the-himalayan-450-after-2-hours-of-riding\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Not-so-obvious things about the Himalayan 450 after 2 hours of riding - AutoMotoBuzz.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The TFT with basic information is really great but do not expect it to be working on all the navigation\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/not-so-obvious-things-about-the-himalayan-450-after-2-hours-of-riding\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"AutoMotoBuzz.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-12-20T10:19:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Not-so-obvious-things-about-the-Himalayan-450-after-2-hours-of-riding-.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/not-so-obvious-things-about-the-himalayan-450-after-2-hours-of-riding\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/not-so-obvious-things-about-the-himalayan-450-after-2-hours-of-riding\/\",\"name\":\"Not-so-obvious things about the Himalayan 450 after 2 hours of riding - AutoMotoBuzz.com\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-12-20T10:19:15+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-12-20T10:19:15+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/#\/schema\/person\/74db1979fe71b5ea01513ec1ce5bc609\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/not-so-obvious-things-about-the-himalayan-450-after-2-hours-of-riding\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/not-so-obvious-things-about-the-himalayan-450-after-2-hours-of-riding\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/not-so-obvious-things-about-the-himalayan-450-after-2-hours-of-riding\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"News &amp;
