Q. Which is best for ladakh Duke 250, Dminar 400 or Himalayan?
  • Among the available options, we would suggest you to go with the Royal Enfield Himalayan as the bike offers spot on ergonomics for touring, brilliant off-roading credentials, and a higher ground clearance for tackling the uneven road. Moreover, Royal Enfield has ironed out the majority of the issues that plagued the first-gen motorcycle and the bike outshine the rivals as an all-rounder. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.Read More: - Bajaj Dominar 400 vs Royal Enfield Himalayan - [Royal Enfield Himalayan BS6: Road Test Review@https://www.zigwheels.com/reviews-advice/reviews/royal-enfield-himalayan-bs6-road-test-review/37680/
  • https://www.zigwheels.com/reviews-advice/reviews/royal-enfield-himalayan-bs6-road-test-review/37680/" data-repliedtouser="Dillip" > I would say ,there is no point in comparing between a 250 cc with a 400 or 500 cc bike , for a ladakh trip ,where the roads arent just tarmac ,you will experience all kinds of terrains , KTM has bravely launched the 390 adventure to go anywhere ,on any type of roads . And yes bajaj 400 has proved itself by finishing a polar Oddessy ride from artic to Antartic .As well as from Banglore to Sydney .whereas i havent seen a royal enfield himalayan doing this .i prefer 390 adventure for ladakh than a 250cc duke .But a point to be noted here is 250 dukes have successfully finished a ladakh ride by many of the owners of the same .
  • https://www.zigwheels.com/reviews-advice/reviews/royal-enfield-himalayan-bs6-road-test-review/37680/" data-repliedtouser="Dillip" > I would put the Himalayan as the first choice, as it is the bike made for the purpose. However if the choice is between the other two then definitely the Choice would be dominar.... This bike has proven its mantle as many a riders have done bigger rides with this bike.

    your desire, honda's responsibility 

    Honda CB300R can be sweared upon as a very assuring two-wheeler model, which has made to my bucket list ever since its launch. Amazing part is that it has a 5 star rating in safety and security terms. It is so convenient in terms of weight and size which is beautifully planned to designed from the exterior to the interior, inside out. This two wheeler falls under the price range of budget on an average basis. I highly recommend this to anyone who is as crazy about decent bikes as I am and planning on buying one for them.

    Solo riding 

    Have test ridden it, with a pillion as well as a pillion.. on typical Bangalore roads.Had been waiting for this bike for an year, to be launched in India. Was inclined towards it because KTMs are now too abundant in India. Below is my opinion (Please don"t mind if it just feels like an onion ;)👍:1. Very cool and calm engine. Definitely not as harsh as a KTM.2. Excellent build quality. Everything looks premium.3. Very comfortable rider"s triangle and agile for SOLO RIDING. I"m 5"11" and felt so comfortable riding.4. "Out of the Herd" design👎:1. Very bad GROUND CLEARANCE. Scratches almost every speed breaker of Bangalore, even for a solo rider. Softer suspension has also to be blamed here.2. Pillion will have a hard time holding on for his life. Forget about women, even men will have hard time. Thanks to the tiny pillion seat. Though it looks big enough in pictures, rider will occupy more than half of the place and pillion ends up sitting in air. Grab rails provided are useless.3. Due to light weight of the machine, with a pillion rider, the front part becomes so weightless and maneuvering becomes challenging.4. Despite the price, the bike looks tiny and doesn"t have the expected road presence. Being called a premium naked Street bike doesn"t just feel right for this machine. I"ve seen people cancelling their bookings after test riding it. Everything else is at ur discretion.

    Honda CB300R CB Power, Street Dominance. 

    Everyride on my Honda CB300R is an City adventure, invested with a touch of café racer station and City dynamism. It goes beyond Clearly riding this motorcycle around the Highways of the megacity. It entails executing this with a touch of dramatic faculty mixed with a sense of Classic indulgence. With its satiny appearance and café racer vibe, the CB300R is a statement of City fineness on every Tour. It's not Clearly a bike. The vibrant and dynamic interpretation that the CB300R radiates ensures that every City Tour is met with a reflection of the rider's Nature.

    As a rider 250 is a overall good bike.It has its merits and dimerits.The serviceing cost is a problem after the 3rd service, It becomes a bit costly, And it's ground clearance is weak even for solo rides you must be very careful riding it.But it gives you a very nice experience.

    an adaptable and stimulating caper 

    Unveiling an experience like no other, the KTM 250 Duke captivates with its mix of energy and control. With its heart contending 250cc machine, it delivers an exhilarating burst of speed suitable for cityscapes and mooching routes likewise. Its lithe frame and nippy suspense guarantee smooth navigation through civic warrens, breeding trust in every twist and turn. The assertive design only amplifies its road appeal. Although, it's worth noting that the suspense's stiffness could pose a challenge on uneven terrains. All said, the KTM 250 Duke presents an charming option for suckers in hunt of an adaptable and stimulating caper.
