Royal Enfield Himalayan video review
The Himalayan is like no other Royal Enfield motorcycle. It is the first ever budget ADV in the country, tapping into a segment that no other motorcycle manufacturer has forayed into. Tall stance, long travel suspension, long stroke engine, a rear monoshock and a counter-balancer, all these are a definite first on a Royal Enfield motorcycle. The Himalayan’s biggest asset is its versatility. It feels at home on every surface, right from smooth tarmac to absolutely no tarmac and everything in between. Priced at Rs 1.57 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Himalayan is a mouth-watering proposition.

ROYAL INFIELD THUNDERBIRD-500, KTM DUKE390 OR ROYAL ENFIELD HIMALAYAN….????????????????
such a nice review! appreciate it
I have cancelled booking of Himalayan on 25th May after waiting for 2 months. Quality on RE bikes really sucks. RE takes a lot of time for delivery which according to me is the just the hype created by RE. If anyone wants to check the quality on Himalayan then they should take a closer look on the bike they'd know what I'm talking about. For Rs.1,78 lakhs on road price what you get is a long unnecessary waiting period and a product which seems to be built by some Hammersmith. Question: Why I booked Himalayan in the first place??. Answer: I wished to buy a bike which would be suitable to my age. I'm in late 30s and Thunderbird 350 seemed to be the only option I liked in RE family. I always hated RE bikes for their unnecessary long waiting period, pathetic quality and stone age bikes. However, I didn't have much options to choose from hence decided to give it a try once. I visited RE showroom to inquiry about Thunderbird 350 and came across Himalayan. It looked different hence I searched for initial impressions review online and decided to go for it as it has much less vibrations, its flickable unlike other RE bikes. The quality was as pathetic on Himalayan as on any other RE bikes. As I mentioned that I didn't have any other options hence I convinced myself to compromise on fuel injector, tubeless tires, pathetic quality etc on Himalayan and booked the same. I owned Duke 200 and now have RC 200 and these bikes had all of the necessary stuff Himalayan does not have. As I waited for delivery of Himalayan I visited RE showroom couple of times and also test ridden Himalayan. Every time I visited RE showroom and taken a closer look on the new bikes it bothered a lot about the quality for the amount I was about to pay for the bike. Although, the engine is new according to RE but it has all the characteristics of old RE engines, finding neutral on Himalayan is as challenging as it is on any other RE bikes. The gear is pretty hard on Himalayan, not just on test bike as RE showroom sales staff always say but even on new bikes once they get heated up. The waiting period forced me to re-consider my decision before putting in Rs.1,78 lakhs in a so called new bike and also read horrible stories of new buyers online. Like a new buyer took delivery in Delhi and rode only 10 kms from showroom and the gear box got damaged, another story that RE dealer in Chennai returned two new Himalayans to factory as it didn't clear PDI (pre-delivery inspection) due to quality issues, another story that the so called new engine has a pretty loud tippet noise. I'm not sure of others who are buying Himalayan but I would not waste my Rs.1,78 lakhs for such a worthless product which I came to realize during the waiting period.
renegade is the best jai hind.
Seriously!!!!!!!
it gives 45 KMPL?????
Dont come from an RE background, but I like the rugged built quality of the Hmlyn.
The headlight and its position on the bike seems like an afterthought, and I would prefer a mini cooper styled LED lamp instead (just a single). Also I feel the headlight would look better a bit lower, at the level of the fueltank.
The windshield would be the next to go for me. I would sooo like the retro look instead.
