While it's been a few years since I've owned a CB1100 I still enjoy this forum. I decided to purchase this 2021 Himalayan to do some camping / fire road adventures. Takes me back to my very first ride, a 1978 Honda XL175 back in the day.
cool. Does it have 2 front fenders? Is that the stock seat?
Congrats on a nice looking RE. It's one I would love to try out sometime. Would be interested in a few comments about the bike once you get the chance to ride it a bit.
That 2 fender combo is a stock set-up; I think it would look better w/out the beak, seemingly inspired by BMW--can it be removed? I'm not sure that it does anything practical for the bike.
Very nice. A lot of bike for the money.
I would try a RE Himalayan for an experience.

Yes it comes stock with both fenders. The seat is a Corbin seat I purchased off of eBay shortly after I put the deposit down. I was on the fence at first but so far it has been the best addition I've done so far. I have a Corbin seat on the VStrom 650XT as well.
Yes,a nice bike. I've had my eye on RE for awhile. I note on the "unoffical"(non factory forum) RE forum that a member there has a problem w/his Himalayan's battery always dying. Keep us informed of your ownership. Also RE will be bringing an all new 350 road bike in March. Good luck with it.
That "unofficial forum" is classicmotorworks.com
That's cool! I have a ton of respect for the Himalayan after watching Itchy Boots' YouTube channel. If you haven't heard of her, watch her season 1, where she rode one from India to Europe, and Season 2, where she rides one throughout South America.
That’s a good looking bike and a lot of bang for the buck according to the feedback I’ve read.

Noraly has a very nice gig going with her channel.
