I've had mine for a few months now, wish I would have checked here first, probably would have bought Rick's. Found one with about 1500 miles at a dealer in Katy. This summer they were hard to find- guess covid shut the factory down in India and US inventory had pretty much dried up.
Anyway, I love it. For reference, my prior "dual sport" was a plated Beta Xtrainer, and I learned off road on a TW200. I liked the TW a lot, but it was just too slow to me for any sort of travel/adventure riding. Some upgrades helped but ultimately only so much you can do with 196cc's. Beta was an animal off road but riding it for more than about 30 minutes on pavement would count as cruel and unusual punishment. Noisy, very vibey/buzzy, needed gas every 50 miles. The Himmy is a nice middle ground. It has enough power that you can go on highways without feeling like a liability. The engine is surprisingly smooth/vibe free and the bike in general is quite comfortable. It's perfectly adequate for "Level 1-3" sort of ADV riding. Once you start getting into slow, technical, rocky, steep stuff, it's street-oriented gearing and weight really start to make it clear you're out of it's comfort zone. The final gearing is good for it's intended use (dirt roads, two track/easier trails, and of course streets), although I wish 1st was a bit deeper for more difficult terrain.
No, it's not fast. Power wheelies are not a thing. It's an undersquare motor with a very diesel-like personality. Chuggy, low revving (the limiter shuts it down around 7k, and there's really no point to wind it north of 6k), ride the mid-range torque for best results. It needs about 2500 miles or so to be fully "broken in" and power does gradually improve over that time. A Delkevic exhaust and power commander notably perked it up a bit as well. But still- you can't be in a rush riding this bike. You'll be disappointed. It wants to take it easy, smell the roses, enjoy the scenery. On the highway, it'll cruise at 70 comfortably. Lean into it, and you can get it up to 80 or a bit more, but it feels distinctly unhappy about it. It's happy place is cruising back roads at about 55. Fuel economy is excellent- which surprisingly the power commander seemed to help (I chalk that up to it adding some timing advance- it has very conservative advance out of the box so it can run on any old third world swill gasoline). I routinely get 60-65mpg, with a 4 gallon tank, range is comfortably 200 miles. Finally, a bike that doesn't need gas seemingly every time I ride it. Like the Beta did, like the TW did, and like my Valkyrie does.
It's got a few "quirks". The gas gauge is relatively pessimistic- reporting flat on empty when you still have about 1/3 tank, and the ambient temp readout is hilariously inaccurate as delivered (sensor is directly behind an air cooled motor so it'd read 20-30* above actual). Takes 10 mintues to relocate the sensor up under the headlight, so it reads correctly. I also slightly bent the fuel sender arm, so the gauge reads much closer to reality now. The compass on the gauge cluster is not to be relied upon either. If for any reason the check engine light trips- i.e, turn the key on with the gas tank removed- it does NOT reset itself once the issue is resolved, and a fairly complex (supposedly dealer only, but there's a Utube video showing it) process to pull codes out of the dash and clear them. Otherwise, engine light is on for eternity and no, disconnecting the battery won't reset it either (oddly, it keeps trip meters through a battery change- but not the clock). Mine was fine, but among owners it's known that the TPS being set incorrectly from the factory (a la KTM) isn't uncommon, and usually to blame for issues like difficult starting, poor idle/stalling, or inconsistent idle speed. It's a relatively primitive EFI system- still has the "choke" lever on the handlebar, although it's only needed in cold weather.
It's a lot of bike for five grand and covers a wide range of dual-sport ADV riding styles well. At either extreme- people who want long-haul pavement pounders, or want to tackle gnarly singletrack, it falls short. It's too heavy and geared too high for really nasty terrain, and just not powerful enough to satisfy most touring riders. Texas freeways have it more or less tapped out just to do the speed limit. But if you fall somewhere in the middle- bopping around town, day-tripping/weekender touring off-freeways, want to be able to handle dirt roads and light trails/two track, commuting, the Himmy really does a lot of things to a lot of people pretty well.
