Q. I have heard that Himalayan is not comfortable for pillion riders, is that the case after we fit back rest too? i am planning to buy new bike but confused between Himalayan and Next Gen Classic 350. who has more comfortable pillion riding?

The Royal Enfield Himalayan was the motorcycle that kick-started the affordable adventure touring genre in India in 2016. Despite the arrival of new rivals, it continues to outshine them as an all-rounder. RE has ironed out the majority of the issues that plagued the first-gen motorcycle, but brakes still remain an Achilles heel. It is one of the sweetest motorcycles in the sub-Rs 5 lakh category for pillion comfort. The seat is well-padded and roomy, with the footpegs being positioned just right for a long day looking over your rider’s shoulder, and the felted seat feels wonderfully premium, too. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

It’s a great motorcycle and there are aftermarket seat options if you find it’s uncomfortable. A lot of the issues have been fix on these bikes now the 2023 model is a very good bike, the planned 450 will have its own issues at first no bike is perfect. Generally the end run bikes just before the now model is the bests and sometimes the cheapest as there’s discounts to shift the final stock !

Himalayan is a big one so for short people its a problem in case of falling they cant touch there fit on ground easily also for big size people the sit is short but classic 350 is a different segment. You cant comare this with Himalayan. If you need big bike but with pillion big seat then gs310, and ktm 390 adv also there
