Has the NC500 Had Its Day? Riding Scotland’s Most Famous Route in 2025!
Join me for Episode One of our epic journey around Scotland’s North Coast 500 (NC500) — a 500-mile loop of wild landscapes, coastal roads, and hidden gems. We kick things off in Inverness, riding anti-clockwise on the brand new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 to see if this iconic route still lives up to the hype… or if it’s had its day.
First stop? Chanonry Point, where we try to spot the famous Moray Firth dolphins. Then we head inland to the stunning Rogie Falls, before cruising up the scenic east coast. We wrap up day one in Wick, staying at a hotel that holds a Guinness World Record — located on the shortest street in the world!
🔥 Scenic roads, Scottish wildlife, and real-world riding on the Himalayan 450 — it's a trip you don’t want to miss.
