Answer

As per your requirement, we suggest you go for KTM 390 Adventure. As, on the road, the Adventure feels familiar, fast, and friendly. You will enjoy covering long distances on this immensely. The 390 motor had proved itself to be a capable long-distance companion and in this package, it just emphasizes the point. This Adventure is actually a tourer, with rough-road capability, which should be enough for most people. Its spacious and comfortable ergonomics, its ability to tackle all kinds of roads and cover distances with ease will win it a lot of admiration and desirability. Aside from the tall seat height, it should prove to be a great companion for city use too.

Aside from the tall seat height it should prove to be a great companion for city use too.

Question 5

Q. I am looking for the best bike for my needs. I want one i can drive in the city. My wife rides with my on my bike and wants something to handle to bad roads and speed breakers better. Also we want to ride on long road trips and bring luggage. Don't know which is best BMW G310GS, Himalayan, or the 390 Adventurer. I like the low seat on the Himalayan that my wife could drive it. However it seems too heavy and not enough power. The BMW looks great but seems the suspension is too soft and brakes are week and the electronic package is pretty lame. I don't want anything more than 200kg bike.

Answer

I would say Royal Enfield Classic 350

Himalayan will be better while considering all aspects. Since bmw service costs are always above 10K. adv390 is more powerful and it requires more skills to handle it. But in case of Himalayan it is more easier and budgetary.
