Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I have back pain problem. Which one you suggest among Himalyan and CB 350 for long rides? One thing attracts me is tubeless tyres in CB 350, with which you are tension free incase of puncture.
  • As per your requirements, Royal Enfield is the clear pick. If the Himalayan is on your shopping list, it’s quite likely that it’s going to be your only motorcycle. And as an only motorcycle, it’s as close to perfect as you can get in this price range -- or even a few rungs higher, for that matter. This really is the Swiss Army Knife of motorcycles -- a capable, versatile, one-size-fits-all motorcycle. Need something to ferry you to the office and back? No problem. Want to cruise the highways on weekends? It’ll do it all day and all night long. Finally had your leave approved and want to ride to Ladakh? This is just the bike for the job. It’ll even keep you entertained on the twisty bits of tarmac you’ll find on the way. Short of hooning about on track, this is the one motorcycle that’ll do pretty much any and everything you ask of it, without protest or complaint. The Himalayan BS6 is a slightly more well-rounded and desirable motorcycle than before. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.
  • Hey hello r you suggesting him to go for royal Enfield 350.. wait wait don't listen to him. don't go for 350. it will be you r big mistake in you r life. don't go for it.. buy a highness 350. it is nice bike to ride. no vibrations, no issue, reliable engine. no tappet noise.. I have sold my classic 350 in six months only because of tappet and vibration
  • My age 49 no back pain issues 2years back I purchased re 350 and sold it to others after usage of 6months, it is bad choice . In single long ride I found - lot of vibrations throughout the body, after 60kmph the problem further increases

    Dominar 250 power 

    I've ridde­n the Bajaj Dominar 250 for some time now. It's be­en a thrilling ride! This sporty cruiser's powe­rful engine makes e­very trip fun. The riding position is comfortable too. It's also one­ of the least expe­nsive bikes in its category. You ge­t great value for your money. Howe­ver, one downside is the­ suspension can feel a bit stiff. This is e­specially true on rough roads. But, despite­ this small issue, the Bajaj Dominar 250 is a fantastic choice. It's pe­rfect for riders who want performance­, style, and affordability in a cruiser bike.

    Great Bike 

    Hi I'm Rohith from Bangalore I own Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 since it's been 3 years I haven't faced any major issues on the bike. The bike is absolutely great it's a 31in 1 motorcycle ADV, TOURER, OFF-ROADING machine it can do all 3 in all the the terrains but it's not a complete1off-roading machine if you want enjoy the dead off-road then you should go with Xpulse 200 alternatively. So1mileage wise I get 25 in city usage and 35-38 in between on highway runs again the counter part is that1mileage is based on how you rev you're engine and how you maintain your bike that plays the major role.1Talking about seat comfort man it's literally awesome you don't feel pain in your back nor bum the seats are1well cushioned the fabrics are literally great. Coming back to suspension the front suspension is long travel1suspension but it's little bit hard and the rear suspension is mono-shock it does the job well. Talking about1the power this bike can easily do 125-130 top speed in highway run if you're capable of doing more then, max to max 138-140 will be the final push. If you have more queries feel free to message me over Instagram my Instagram handle1is @heyrohithofficial thanks ride safe
