Riding a motorcycle all the way to Everest Base Camp — just imagining it makes me want to stare at a map for hours. The Himalayan is exactly the bike born for a journey like this. There must be hours of facing altitude and solitude that no ruler of speed or comfort can measure. I'd love to take a trip like this at least once in my life.

Expeditions like this probably rack up serious costs between entry fees and gear — not something you can just casually copy.

RE going all-in on altitude to prove how serious their adventure cred is — that's a pretty clear-cut flex.

Didn't know there was a route to Everest Base Camp you could actually ride a regular bike on.

Love the framing that this ride embodies exactly what the Himalayan was built for.

Once you get up in altitude, power drops off whether it's carb or FI — gotta be rough.

The Himalayan's fuel-injected now, so it should be reasonably sorted for high altitude.

Riding a Himalayan all the way to Everest BC — that's not just once-in-a-lifetime, that's a whole lifetime of memories right there.

Restarting after such a long break makes me think last time must've been really rough.
