Re: Two wheels good.
I've just purchased a new 452 Enfield Himalayan for less than some Alpino's are advertised for!
Test rode a 452 on Friday.
So pleased that it feels very similar to ride as the 411 I own, but with much more power. Build quality is also much better, although in 20,000 miles, my 411 has been 100% reliable, and nothing has broken.

Re: Two wheels good.
Used the Calimoto motorcycle GPS app which has a round trip facility. I set a 100 mile trip on winding roads and this is what I got.
112 miles, three hours mostly on roads I’ve never ridden before. A lot of the time I had no idea where I was, just riding. Really enjoyable. Nowhere to go and all day to get there.

Re: Two wheels good.
Is Calimoto really any good in you experience? Say in comparison to Google,Waze, etc
I use a TomTom Rider Sat Nav, but the Enfields dash links up to a phone, so don't have to use it on this bike.

Re: Two wheels good.
It’s very good if all you want to do is get somewhere on winding roads. It’s not as good as google maps if you’re in a hurry as it doesn’t take traffic into account when route planning. It’s horses for courses really depending on whether you’re in a hurry or not.

Seems the Enfield only works with Google maps, but I'll download Calimoto and try it out on the Triumph.
