Recently Asked User Questions
- No idea about comparison, but the Himalayan so far is the perfect for off roading. it's probably made with off roading in mind. thought it slips n skids on plain roads on sudden braking, but never on the rouugh terrain.
- Yes Himalayan is heavier than Xpulse by 40-45 kgs. But off road skills of Himalayan are amazing.
- It is heavy but not too heavy. Its a well balanced bike.
- Both bikes have really good rider and pilloin comfort . HIMALAYAN's seat is a bit higher then classic 350 seat . Pillion can feel a little trouble while taking his position but during Ride the soft seat material helps a lot for both rider and pilloin . Classic 350 seat is quite wider than Himalayan also a little more comfortable . So in my opinion , both bikes have rea good comfort level but if I have to choose between classic and Himalayan than I'll go with classic 350 . Just a little bit of difference, not too much .
- No doubt the Himalayan. The pillion sits higher and the pegs are not rear set. The gel seat helps too.
- Himalayan is more than comfort between the 350
- Bother the bikes are from the house of Royal Enfield and bother are good bikes. You decide your purpose of buying the bike. If you need it for Daily commuting go for Bullet 350 and if you frequently go for adventure riding go for Himalayan. Himalayan is not made for daily commuting and is purely built for Adv riding purpose.
- Both are diff journo bike ... you cannot compare the maintenance cost ... defiantly Himalayan will be higher as it is double the rate of standard so definitely the parts used are of high quality compare to standard and also do note Himalayan bike service comes every 5000 kms
- Bullet standard is ever green bike but thunderbird is also a best bike of royal enfield. himalayan have so many problems like heating, handle, suspension winshield, etc. so i prefered thunder bird 350 is best option

This is a lot of bike for the money! the electronics package is fantastic, The motor far exceeds expectations, And it's very comfortable.I'm getting 78 mpg at moderate speed and just a little under at sport pace.My only letdown has been the poor performance of the quick shifter, Which i hope can be fixed with software next spring.
Troy Miller few weeks ago -

Have not been regular with riding last two years as I have been out of home due work. But the rides I have done has been issueless. Apart from weekend rides, I have made a trip to Leh, transporting my bike from Calcutta to Chandigarh by road, and same way back, riding the rest. It's a bike which I found very stable on the worst of roads. No issues anywhere, as compared to the many problems with my partners. But what I understand, and what I believe is, biking or even driving, needs a finesse which most of the experienced riders/drivers lack. If you live your bike or car, which all men do, then show the love not by cleaning and polishing it everyday, but by riding or driving technically in the correct manner. Keep the machine healthy from inside, and your vehicle will never let you down. We started from Leh, back to Manali, no petrol pump for the next 300 KMS. By evening, all were sweating, their fuel indicators not even moving and stuck at the E symbol, and yet to reach the next petrol pump another about 30 KMS, the first one since we started. It was only me who was laughing on all, as my tank still indicated half tank. All opened the tank to check levels, had their theories of wrong indication. But at the pump, my bike actually took petrol just more than half to to up. All during the ride I had tried to tell everyone about riding correctly, technically, understand the engine limitations, follow the recommended procedures and not apply self created theories, to which no one listened, but the last return paid off my tips, at least to me, and set the example for my friends. I love my bike, the Himalayan, though people have their grudges about it. I do agree though, the quality of the materials used to make the bike could have been better, but again to keep such a competitive price for such a machine must have been a challenge for the company.

Best adventure touring bike below 2 L in India. Mine is 2018 non ABS version of snow white and I've covered over 15 k km with my Himalayan. Off road ride is like whole another level of awesomeness with this bike. During the free service period each service costs around only 1000 rs. Ease of handling in city is too good. I get mileage of 36-40 in highways and 30-35 in city + highways and around 28 in city use. I'm 6 feet tall and its sitting posture is very good. Standing and riding is too easy if you want to stretch your legs. Note : If you are not getting above 30 mileage then check these things regularly- 1. Tyre pressure.2. Use clutch only when needed.3. Do not accelerate like a racing bike. It's not. Its's a RE bike.4. Best speed range for Himalayan is 60-80 km/hr.

Just bought it in november 2019 BS4 , Dual channel ABS. Loved it so far. Comfortable and amazing bike. Looks dashing on road, people literally stare at you. I have done quite a few modifications on it like guards, panniers, handle bars and it looks awesome. Have done quite offroading since I bought it, and it just goes anywhere you want. Riding in a metro city is a problem due to heating issues but I usually take it out on weekends for rides so not an issue for me. Go for it.

My place here it's bad roads and no roads everywhere. That is the reason I bought this bs4 Himalayan. So far there is no engine trouble, and the bs4 exhaust note is special while commuting. I bought this Himalayan as a reward for myself, and it is worth every penny. The torque is perfect for my native terrains, and I am still exploring. Ofcourse, It's a trip machine.

Bike is the most sturdy of all bikes.Does not slip on any type of terrain even on potholed roads.Handling is on the heavier side, And stable at high speeds of 100.Top speed is 120 kmph.Its a pleasure to sit on the himalayan and drive non stop for long hours.The beauty of this bike is it fits every type of requirement you may have for the bike.
