    Yes, it is.though it would have been better if you were taller. you can visualise the benefits of height in slow moving, bumper to bumper city traffic or x country (off roading) where a taller guy is expected to have better control of his bike. you may even have problems in stability with a pillion pillion on slow speeds. while fixing up the accessories, you may not like to fit additional seat cover which are either pneumatic (air filled) or gel based since they would add around an inch and a half or two to the riding height; as well as the handlebar risers may make the ride uncomfortable for you. the panniers would similarly obstruct your exit and entry to the bike while the top box would almost make that impossible. this is not to discourage you, but this is exactly why you won't find many lady drivers (unless she is large or extra large frame). as an alternative, you may even try and consider hero xpulse 200.let's cut out the theory part. go for a test ride with a friend who owns a re himalyan; or if none of your friends own one, or do own one but are too posessive, head to the nearest re showroom where the over courteous staff would help and guide you.happy riding and all the best.

  • My Journey with the Royal Enfield Himalayan

    My father totally impressed with this model. The Royal Enfield Himalayan is an adventure motorcycle designed for exploring rough terrains and long journeys. The Himalayan boasts a capable off-road package with a long-travel suspension, high ground clearance. The comfortable seat offer an upright riding posture suitable for long rides and better visibility on the road. the Himalayan delivers good fuel economy in the range of 30-35 kmpl, making it budget-friendly for long journeys.

  • Unmatchable performance

    My pass to discovery and expedition is the Royal Enfield Himalayan, not simply a bike. Its tough yet fashionable look precisely captures my sense of adventure. The Himalayan never ceases to wow with its dependability and adaptability whether negotiating difficult terrain or driving on freeways. This bike was a birthday present to me, and it has since become my reliable travel partner on many special occasions.

  • dream bike

    The royal Enfield Himalayan is an advanced and modernised sibling of royal enfield models. I have the red colour of this bike and exterior wise it looks quite good. It has good mileage, enough ground clearance and satisfactory and easy controls. The engine is powerful and the seat is comfortable and wide. My friend also has this model and it is quite reliable for daily commute.

  • Comes with off roading capabilities

    Royal Enfield Himalayan is a perfect combination of reliability and off roading capabilities. this bike has a durable built quality. the engine is powerful enough for hilly areas and the mileage is around 28-30kmpl. the tyres are very grippy and the suspension system ensures the comfort while off roading. according to me the pricing is also reasonable.
