Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better, Suzuki V-Strom SX or Royal Enfield Himalayan?
  • Both vehicles are great in their own forte. Suzuki V-Strom SX has loads of visual presence and looks like a big ADV bike. Handling is impressive by ADV standards. Relaxed riding ergonomics make it a great tourer. On the other hand, Royal Enfield’s Himalayan offers a more engaging riding experience, but you also end up saving quite a lot of money. Himalayan has great ergonomics for touring or stand-up riding, long-travel suspension aids in brilliant off-road riding, spoked rims, and tall ground clearance, switchable ABS helps to lock the rear wheel under off-road conditions. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.
  • I will definitely go for Himalayan because Royal Enfiled is offering a whopping 400cc engine at lower cost like around 2.7-2.89 lakhs where as V- strom is just a 250cc engine costing around 2.6 lakhs. The didn't like the looks though.

    End torque 

    Here are my thoughts on the upcoming royal enfield himalayan 450 motorcycle: overall features and stylingfrom what i've seen so far, The himalayan 450 retains the rugged, Adventurous styling of the current himalayan 411 but with some nice upgrades.The exposed frame and off-road oriented design are still there, But the 450 adds some sharper lines and a more muscular fuel tank for a modern look.Some key features include switchable abs, A tripper navigation pod, And an lcd display with turn-by-turn navigation.These are great features for an adventure touring bike.The styling strikes a good balance between rugged and refined.Expectationsi'm expecting the 450cc engine to provide a noticeable power bump over the 411cc motor in the current himalayan - perhaps around 30hp.This should make cruising at highway speeds more relaxed while still delivering excellent low-end torque for off-road riding.The weight is also reportedly lower, Which should improve handling.Overall, The 450 looks like a nicely improved evolution of the proven himalayan platform.My expectations are high for a more powerful, Lighter and feature-rich middleweight adventure tourer.Likelihood of purchasei'd say there's a good chance i'll seriously consider purchasing the himalayan 450 when it becomes available.It hits a real sweet spot in terms of power, Capability and price.The addition of navigation, Abs and other features make it an even more well-rounded package.As an experienced adventure rider currently without a middleweight tourer in my garage, The royal enfield ticks a lot of boxes for my needs and budget.Unless reviews reveal any major flaws, I could see myself purchasing a himalayan 450 in the future as my main adventure touring motorcycle.It looks like an excellent value proposition in the segment.

    Awesome Bike 

    The Enfield Himalayan is an outstanding bike, known for its light and easy-to-ride nature. The convenience of the self-starter eliminates the need for kick-starting, and the effective side stand makes parking effortless. The digital central console is user-friendly and easy to read. While designed primarily for off-road applications, its ride handling on city roads is commendable. The bike's rugged and distinctive appearance adds to its appeal, and the engine springs to life effortlessly with the self-start button. Smooth and easy gear shifts enhance the overall riding experience. The Himalayan is not only easy to handle but also versatile, suitable for both city commuting and off-road adventures. Although yet to be taken on the highway for off-road travel, it stands out as a great bike that excels in both urban and adventurous settings.Royal Enfield has successfully delivered a winner in this segment, offering an affordable option that is truly impressive. A potential owner myself, I am drawn to its overall greatness.

    Fantastic machine 

    Its a fantastic machine from royal enfield.I had a re himalayan 411cc and its one of the most affordable adventure bike in india.The servicing cost is merely around 1.5k to 3k which is value of money and even spares are less costly compared to other adv motorcycles available of other brands.Eagerly looking for the launch of this much anticipated and eagerly awaited adv from re with all new engine and loads of new equipment's like inverted forks, Liquid cooled engine, Round and fully digital instrumentation console / odometer, Cruise control just a few to name.I am sure this adv will be a superb machine from re stable which will take adventure junkies to a new and next level for sure.As soon as its launched, Have the plan to get one at the earliest.Thank you.Regards, Shivraj - 911****717.

    meeting your needs at superb speed 

    Ones which are specially built bikes have always amazed me and specially Suzuki V-Strom SX. Looking at the features and specialities this bike offers, I decided to buy this vehicle last year. It was available for an affordable price in exchange of a lot of modern features. The mileage is good as provided, clean and good ground clearance and powerful engine that it comes with. My favourite feature is the smooth and comfortable ventures with this vehicle. I would definitely put this on recommendation list for others. The colour ranges are aesthetic and many sets of variants are also available.

    Excellent features 

    This bike has excellent braking performance and is incredibly practical and the Suzuki V Strom SX has amazing features and technology, like dual-channel ABS, Bluetooth, USB charging, LED headlights, and much more. At highway speeds, it is incredibly comfortable because to its roomy and well padded design and is reasonable price but it provides good comfort during lengthy rides. This bike has a great style and excellent suspension, however spoke wheels are missing bt this is a Suzuki adventure touring bike with good performance.

    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.
