Q. Main travelling is city commutes and weekned tours, confused between 250 Adventure, Hness CB350 and Himalayan?
  • As per your requirement, we suggest you go for Royal Enfield Himalayan. The Himalayan BS6 is a slightly more well-rounded and desirable motorcycle than before. A bike that’s built for no roads can handle bad roads with commendable ease. In fact, the Himalayan turns you into a bit of a hooligan in the city, because even when you’re faced with the tallest of speed breakers and the deepest of potholes, slowing down isn’t really a very high priority. Need something to ferry you to the office and back? No problem. Want to cruise the highways on weekends? It’ll do it all day and all night long. Finally, had your leave approved and want to ride to Ladakh? This is just the bike for the job. It’ll even keep you entertained on the twisty bits of tarmac you’ll find on the way.
