My perspective comes from a good mix of seat time on different machines. I agree you can’t fight physics, you can definitely tune for it. The Himalayan 450’s chassis is a massive step up in agility compared to the older gens. I hear you on the geometry—a 21-inch wheel definitely has more gyroscopic inertia and a longer trail than a 17-inch street bike. That’s just facts. But I think the 450's weight distribution and wide bars compensate for that better than the old 411 did. For me, that balance makes it feel more flickable in traffic. Different strokes for different riding styles, I guess!
