Why I Tour on 24 Horsepower (And Don't Care)

The best touring bike I've ridden has 24 horsepower. No TFT, no heated seats, no cruise control. Just a simple, reliable, comfortable machine that gets me there — and keeps getting me there, 70,000 kilometres later. In this video I make the case for small ADVs, using the Himalayan 411 as a case study, as serious long-distance tourers. Not despite its limitations, but sometimes because of them. Low power, simple ergonomics, bulletproof reliability, and a price tag that won't make you cry when you drop it in the outback. I also look honestly at where it fails — because no bike is perfect, and pretending otherwise helps nobody. If you've ever wondered whether you need a $40,000 adventure bike to tour properly, this one's for you. https://www.twowheelsin.com Chapters 00:00 Why I Tour on 24 Horsepower (And Don't Care) 02:40 Touring on a Himalayan 06:31 Where Billie Fails as a Tourer #RoyalEnfield #RoyalEnfieldHimalayan #MotorcycleTouring #AdventureBike #SmallADV #Himalayan411 #MotoTravel #TwoWheelsIn #TouringMotorcycle #BudgetTouring
