@ Dillip | The 250 Adventure is a difficult motorcycle to sum up, such is the way it has taken the good and the bad from the 250 Duke and the 390 ADV. For those looking to clock a lot of kilometres on the highway, the more potent 390 ADV will be a more purposeful package. The better fuel efficiency, lower price tag for the 250 Adventure make it a more sensible choice for many riders. However, it is a motorcycle that demands you to adapt to its nature and needs, rather than the other way around. Moreover, the lack of sixth gear in the Apache RTR 200 4V limits the touring capabilities of the bike. If you o not mind slow-paced touring then the Hero XPulse 200 could also prove to be a good option. As per your budget and requirements, we would suggest you to pick the Royal Enfield Himalayan for its comfortable seating and brilliant touring and off-roading credentials. Furthermore, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
