Q. Main travelling is city commutes and weekned tours, confused between 250 Adventure, Hness CB350 and Himalayan?
  • As per your requirement, we suggest you go for Royal Enfield Himalayan. The Himalayan BS6 is a slightly more well-rounded and desirable motorcycle than before. A bike that’s built for no roads can handle bad roads with commendable ease. In fact, the Himalayan turns you into a bit of a hooligan in the city, because even when you’re faced with the tallest of speed breakers and the deepest of potholes, slowing down isn’t really a very high priority. 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.

    I have be­en using my friend's KTM 250 Adventure­ bike for riding lately. It is fun for exploring off-road trails! The­ bike is not very powerful, but it is one­ of the affordable options for adventure­ riding. The seat is quite tall, so shorte­r riders may find it intimidating. The suspension can fe­el stiff on city roads. However, if you e­njoy adventure and riding on rough roads, this lightweight KTM bike­ is a great choice!

    Proud owner 

    I am a proud owner of vstrom 250.I’ve writing after 11k km of bike usage.Looks are subjective but i love the way it looks.Not to underestimate its 250 cc engine.I never felt it’s under powered in almost all conditions.Can have a comfortable 100-110 cruising speed.It gave me a mileage of approximately 32 if i am at 110 in highways but also got 48 average in mountains.Extremely comfortable for long ride without any accessories.Rode from kaza to delhi non stop via shimla.Only felt strain on wrist to hold on acceleration and left fingers due constant change of gear in the mountains.But it could also be because of the cold.I am surprised why it’s not sold as much.Don’t go by its cc.Take a test ride and decide.Bikes are unique.It’s not one fit for all.It the right one for your personality.I wish they come up with a 400-500 cc adventure bike.Please hear us suzuki.

    Bit higher 

    I drove the suzuki v-strom sx 250 a couple of weeks ago.Initially i didn't like the front look.It looks completely weird.Although the sides look amazing.When i rode it, I felt like it's not worth buying.The suspension is on the stiffer side.By the look it says that it is is an adventure tourer but we don't even feel like we are riding an bike.The suspension is a bit on the stiffer side.It is like riding a scooty.I'm 5"4 inch height and i couldn't flat foot my both the feet.The seat is a bit higher.Being 250 cc engine the price could be little lower because royal enfield offers an adventure bike called himalyan around 2.6 lakhs with a bigger engine (400 cc) than the v strom.
