Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which Bike is best Hasquvarna or Royel Enfiled Himalayan 350, Which is Best and strongest Bike for Longer lasting Bike pl.suggest...?
  • Both bikes are of different segments and have different characteristics. Keeping the bike for long will totally depend on how it is maintenance and ridden. The Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 looks good, is quick, and rides and handles well. However, the KTM 250 Duke offers the same traits with the added benefits of a spacious rider and pillion seat and a larger fuel tank. If you are less inclined towards practicality but lean more towards design, the Vitpilen 250 looks more eye-catching and is more engaging to ride. So effectively, the Svartpilen 250 is in no man’s land. We feel that KTM/Husqvarna should have capitalised on the Svartpilen’s scrambler appeal. They could raid the KTM parts bin and use the 390 Adventure’s longer travel suspension, larger 19-inch front tyre, serrated footpegs and turn the Svartpilen 250 into a proper scrambler. With these updates, even a price hike of Rs 20,000 would put it at par with the KTM 250 Duke’s pricing, but then you would have a more capable Svartpilen 250 pointing in the right direction -- off-road. As things stand, you have better alternatives to the Svartpilen 250 from its own family and another capable 250cc motorcycles.Owning and riding multiple motorcycles is a luxury that few can afford and even fewer can truly enjoy. 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 i.e. 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. You may compare both the bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.
Q. Which bike has better mileage between Svartpilen and Himalayan?
  • The Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 uses the same 248.8cc single-cylinder engine from the 250 Duke that claims to deliver 32.44 Kmpl, while the 411cc single-cylinder unit of the Royal Enfield Himalayan delivers a overall claimed mileage of 37.8kmpl on highways, while in the city runs it drops marginally to 36.26kmpl.
Q. Which is the best overall bike svartpilen 250 Vs RE classic 350 dual channel I used to like Royal Enfield but after svartpilen 250 I just love this look and feature can you just show both prop and cons ?? I'm from Mumbai and mostly my need is for daily commute and short trips please help me.
  • Both bikes are of different segments and have different characteristics. The Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 looks good, is quick, and rides and handles well. If you are less inclined towards practicality but lean more towards design, the Vitpilen 250 looks more eye-catching and is more engaging to ride. So effectively, the Svartpilen 250 is in no man’s land. On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 is far from a perfect bike even in its BS6 avatar. However, in a world where everybody is trying to go retro and neo-retro, it remains the OG retro motorcycle in essence and feel. You may comopare both bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.

    Stylishly Rugged but Not Without Faults 

    The Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 caught my eye with its unique, minimalist design and promised a thrilling ride with its powerful 248.8 cc engine. Riding this bike feels like a dream it is agile, the engine is powered and it handles like water slide. The upright riding posture and the overall ergonomics make it comfortable for both city rides and longer journeys.One of the drawbacks however, is its seat comfort. It’s a bit on the harder side which can make long rides a bit uncomfortable. Another point is its price tag which is a bit steep compared to other models in the same category.

    Great for off roading 

    It is dual purpose bike that is great in the off road and on road and the seating position is really comfortable. considering its a 250 cc bike the mileage is around 28 to 30 kmpl and is a more adventure touring bike and can go on trip with this bike. If buyers go more on the trips with this bike then it make more sense because the tyre give more grip in the off roader so on road is not enjoyable and the seating is so much comfortable and in the corner it gives great fun.

    Best Bike 

    I have a 2022 Svartpilen 250 and have ridden 10k+ km overall the bike is really good, Pickup is decent up to 4000rpm but after around 5000rpm up to 8000rpm the bike pulls like crazy. This is probably one of the most beautiful bikes in the 250cc segment, the engine being similar to the KTM Duke 250, But this just looks better. Some people may find this to be an electric bike due to its unique shape and design, so there are gonna be a lot of people who ask you what bike it is and honestly, it feels good when people ask about your bike :) Stock blinkers are amazing and feel like aftermarket add-ons. The exhaust sound is decent and the radiator fan sounds super loud when turned on. When you have ridden for 15+ mins and stop at a signal, The fan might turn on and will sound louder than the engine itself. Overall I say it is a great bike and of the 2023 model has fixed vibrations, I would gladly recommend this bike to everyone: the best bike in the 250cc segment in a decent pickup but power mostly kicks in after 5000rpm ( feels like a 400cc bike above 6000rpm ) dashing looks attention-grabbing bike cons: very low ground clearance (may hit larger bumps if 2 people are sitting) pillion seat is not very comfortable.

    Stock tyres 

    Its a very good touring machine mostly tarmac friendly.The stock tyres are useless so as the stock headlight.The seat height is the biggest concern also the seat is wide which makes more comfort but flat footing both side impossible for anyone below 5.10.The ride quality and comfort is wonderful and i wish it had traction control which will make is a good allrounder.I can tell you that versys is one of the best touring bike currently available in market at this price band.If someone is looking for a good tourer for road use then versys is the best bet and if you are looking for bit of off-road then v-storm 650 looks better.
