Video suggestions surrounding new RE Himalayan?

[Reize]

The local distributor for RE in my country just called me up and asked if I wanted to take the new Himalayan 450 for a spin for a week.

Of course I'm doing it. Already I am planning on the most basic thing I need to put out, a comprehensive review video covering literally everything about Performance, Notable Features, Basic Ease of Maintenance, Ergonomics and Aesthetics.

Also thought about using the Himalayan 450 as a poster child to compare against my Versys X300, to discuss whether the 450-500 class of ADV bikes are worth the added tax bracket and licensing required that is unique to my country, where there is a clear divide between <200 cc, 201-400cc and >400cc bikes for taxation and licensing.

Are there any topics or content that could be done on a loaned Himalayan 450 that you guys would personally find interesting to watch?

Taking it trail riding if you are allowed would be good to see how it copes stock!

I'm not sure if any long distance riding is viable, considering you'd need to cross a border for that. But how long the saddle feels comfortable for?

Definitely already using it for trail riding, I think they're gonna allow it when I ask during the pick up. They allowed it when they handed me the CFMoto Papio CL / XO-2.

The off road performance is definitely going to be a part of the review video already, though I'm only showing short clips during the segment I talk about it.

Saddle comfort is also something I usually cover on the review video as well.

Be def interested to hear how it feels riding at motorway speeds for prolonged periods, I try to avoid motorways as best I can, but sometimes needs must and it is not much fun having to use them on a bike that sounds stressed at those speeds (70-80mph ish) for long periods.
