This – now obsolete – page was part of our brief attempt to offload the bikes in South America, when we realised we couldn’t ride on with Clare’s shoulder loose and painful, and didn’t have time to wait for it to heal then resume. And maybe, not the inclination, too. So they’re going back to the UK with us.

This page of our blog has a mass of extra details and photos that are too unwieldy to post on marketplaces.

• What: Two healthy Himalayan 411s with roughly 35,000 miles (56,000km) and LOTS of extras.
• Ideal buyer buys both bikes. But can separate.
• Where: Jujuy Province, Northern Argentina. We may move them.
• When: Pretty much now (19th September, 2025).
• How much: Cheap. About USD 1,500 each, plus legal fees.
• But: We have to sort out the legalities of the poder, and future legal sale.
• How: Contact page here. Or WhatsApp Gid directly on his UK (44) number 771 2090257.

Unfortunately, Clare had a tumble in N Argentina (Jujuy Province), she’s injured, and we can’t continue. So we are now open to offers on the two bikes. As we’re foreigners, with foreign bikes, in Argentina, it would not, technically, be a sale, but a “poder”, permission to use, insure, and take. This is, unfortunately, usual for inter-traveller transfers in South America (google it on forums). We cannot in any sense sell to a local, except a local in a Chilean free trade area. Ex Argentina we would be keen to also transfer the current Alaskan title and registration.

It was her black 22 that she tumbled off. It has a few scuffs, some deep ones on luggage, and the RH pannier rack is slightly inwards. When I rode it back 30km from the police station (Argentinian police very helpful), I thought the steering a little loose, but that’s probably unrelated to the accident, which was a low speed slide across tarmac onto gravel. I’ll plan to adjust it anyway.

In the pictures on this page, items with a red cross X are NOT INCLUDED in the sale. Most of the pictures are below the long-winded description and history.

FOR SALE/Poder: Our two Alaskan reg Himalayan 411s. Black 2022 and Silver 2023. About 35,000miles (56,000km). Fully kitted for your travels.

Located at present in PERICO, JUJUY Province, N. Argentina. We may be able to move the bikes to a more common location, although flights from Buenos Aires to Jujuy airport will bring an aspirant buyer to here. It’s a good start for the Atacama Desert or Ruta 40.

As noted elsewhere, in Argentina it will not be formally a sale, the buyer(s) would have the bike documentation and a “poder” legal document authorising them to use it, insure, and cross borders. We should also transfer the Alaskan paperwork remotely – legal but slow. Please note we haven’t yet fully resolved the exact entire process. But it’s been done before, see ADVRider and HUBB etc.

Condition
Have been well cared for, some formal history, mucho records of history. No major accidents or failures yet. Mileages: Black 35,410m, Silver 33,872m, 19th Sept 2025. This may go up a little.

Tyres: Tractionator GPS tyres, Quito, 31,000m, 29500m, plenty to go. Photos.

Last Service: Arequipa: 32,591m, Clare’s 34,121m. Valve checks, new O&A filters, plugs, steering bearings, chains and sprockets. New complete clutch in the black 2022. Back in Medellin, @29,366m, 28,167m, the front (black 22) and rear (silver 23) wheel/drive bearings were changed, and we include one complete set of new bearings for when the remainder need doing.

No codes, although both have reported the usual 411 “you didn’t start me properly” codes.

Full service history here: https://2silvercyclists.net/practical/2024-2024-motorcycling-the-bikes/ Gid can add photos of the various receipts (there’s lots), but do be aware that especially USA/Canada Gid did the work himself.

Service Risks Part 1: The black 2022 hasn’t done many miles since the low speed slide that broke Clare’s collarbone. It felt alright riding it home afterwards, apart from possibly loose steering bearing – which I often think on Himalayans. The right rear pannier rack is slightly bent inwards. The RHS aux fuel tank has a scrape at the front and needs thorough checking – no leak is apparent, and was full at the time of the crash and afterwards.

Service Risks Part 2: The black 22 could do with a rear calliper overhaul as it is slightly sticky at times. As in, brake squeaks. Months ago it stuck slightly on, and boiled: Addressed by a thorough clean out, slider pin lube, and new fluid. But it is still slightly squeaky at times.

Service Risks Part 3: Both bikes would benefit from new cush drive rubbers, they were “supplemented” at last service.

All the brake pads are ok, but for long haul, more will be needed by Ushuaia (photos). The most worn are the rears on the silver 23, these are cheap pads that got most of their wear in the black 22, before being swapped to put enhanced pads in the black 22. Clare seems to use the rear brake more than Gid, whose front pads wear faster.

The black 2022 has the common Himi 411 annoyance of the dash buttons being really hard to press, especially when it’s cold. But they do, eventually, work.

I may be able to address some of the above service risks before selling. I have a package in the UK containing cush rubbers, enhanced pads, and calliper service kits. Not sure if can get that here, although RE dealers should have it all. The nearest is only 34Km away: https://royalenfieldar.com/puntos-de-ventas/

Bikes are US models. Loaded with:

Accessories
Both have Givi or SRC engine bars, RE pannier racks, BB or RE handguards. Adjustable front brake and clutch levers.

Both have fairly complete electrical accessories: Small aux lights, 2xUSB on bars, 1xUSB under pillion for powerpack, voltmeters, LED headlamp, LED taillamp (not std on USA bikes), the 22 has a Garmin Zumo XT cradle, the 23 has heated grips. Accessories wired via relay using very standard connectors, relay and fuses. Both have Gerbing and SAE plugs, fused directly to battery (not switched).

Both fitted with Bluetooth diag dongles permanently under seats.

Both with both original keys and keys for aux tanks, toolbox, panniers.

Both have shortened side-stands (thanks to inmate Tim) with big feet. Both have shock socks and a few other water ingress mods. Both have homemade bags between panniers and bike that are good for dirty low security stuff like oil, rags, parts. Both bikes have a little pouch which can take two wheel locks.
Each bike has a waterproof camo fabric cover that goes over the bike and luggage. The silver 23 cover is sized for a smallish topbox but I put the gas can there instead. The black 22 cover is sized for the bulky Kreiga pillion bag that isn’t included.

The black 2022 has 2 x 3 litre aux petrol tanks, on the tank bars, with locks. And a headlight guard. Tripper model. The wired in, lockable, mount for Garmin Zumo XT is included, not the Zumo itself. Bike has a tank ring for SW-Motech tank bags. It has 6 litre Lomo bags in good condition, on the engine bars. It has RE panniers with a few scuffs and lots of stickers. It has a white sheepskin seat cover which is a great comfort. The Kreiga rear bag seen in photos is NOT included. The tank bag seen in photos is NOT included (but the ring is). The GoPro mount on the RH mirror is NOT included. The original RE toolkit is present in the usual pillion place.

The silver 2023, non Tripper model, has a rebuilt rider seat that’s 25mm/1″ higher than standard, but standard fit to bike. And a black sheepskin cover. It has bar risers about 30mm. It has a (cheap) spoiler screen. It has an Interfone phone holder, unpowered but the 2xUSB is nearby – Great unless serious rain. It has a Givi lockable toolbox LHS and a spare box (no lid) is in the 6L Lomo bag. It has a plywood rack extension with a 8 litre Walmart gas can (the RE rack plate is discarded). It has bags on the lower crash bars – one Lomo 6L (patched and holding well), one army surplus thing that isn’t waterproof but is robust, and has a length of chain and other robust junk in: The zip may be failing, but it’s been like that since whenever. It has RE panniers with a few scuffs and lots of stickers – the LHS is insulated for your groceries. It has another good Lomo 6L on top of LH pannier. It has a long thin bag on top of the RH pannier – suits tent poles but battered, needs an inner. It has two good condition Lomo 13L bags on the front crash bars, each with a 1.5L bottle holder. The two RE pannier liners, one seen on pillion in some photos are NOT included. The original RE toolkit is NOT present.

Obviously quite a lot of the extras could be switched between the two bikes. Including the taller seat. Only the electrical items are fixed, really, although the bags/toolbox inside the rear racks are sods to get on and off. As it is, the silver 2023 has been carrying a slightly bigger person, and slightly bulkier, more heavy stuff. It’s been a bit slower up long draggy hills, and when we anally recorded fuel consumption in the USA, it used (IIRC) 20% more gas. This can be attributed to the load, not the engine 🙂

The 2023 benefits from the final year model changes (auto fast idle, 4 relays, up cat, evap at rear), the 2022 has fast idle lever, 2 relays, down cat, evap under engine).

The assorted soft toys and flowers and metal decorations are NOT included. Ok, you can have the flowers (from Nicaragua).

For both bikes NOT included are the four Helite airbag leashes, the USB battery packs under the pillion seats, and the four wheel locks and keys. Although these can be negotiable.

The toolkit that is mostly in the Givi toolbox is NOT included, but we can negotiate some or all of it. It is quite carefully chosen for the Himi 411. The tyre levers and puncture kit (unused so far) are NOT included but is negotiable.

Quite a lot of spares will be included, details depend on if the bikes sell together or separately, or if we consume them first. Brake and clutch levers (clutch lever differs 22 to 23), clutch and throttle cable, oil filters and gaskets, wheel/drive bearings, chain links, bulbs, fuses. Used but good plug and air filter. F & R tubes. An indicator. Nuts and bolts etc.

The Garmin Zumo XT is NOT included, but an offer would be considered. Works perfectly well, a bit clunky, and unlike a phone, it works in rain, with gloves on. It’s loaded with Garmin N and S America and Open Street Map for Central America that Garmin don’t do. They’re recent purchases but Garmin data in some places is pretty old. Please note, it would be quite a lot of work to move the wired in bracket between the bikes, or off the 2022.

Prices cheap and negotiable, dominated, perhaps, by time and place to complete transfer, and the legal expenses for the poder. Probably around $1500USD each, the 2023 being slightly more than the 2022.

Sale Pictures of Clare’s Black 2022 Himalayan 411

Since these pictures, in preparing the bike for transport, I noted that the RHS luggage has more scuffing than I thought. Nothing is “through” or non-functional, but the RHS aux tank lock has had a mm of metal ground off its face, and the RH pannier front outer lower corner bumper has lost a proportion of its thickness and even one or two rivet heads – oddly, not one sticker was harmed.
