Trending Questions on Royal Enfield Himalayan - Answered by Autocar Experts
I have been riding a Royal Enfield Classic 500 for 12 years now and am looking to upgrade. I am confused between the Himalayan 450 and the Bear 650. Which one should I go for?
I currently own an Aprilia RS 457 and use it for a daily 20 km one-way commute (about half open road and half bumper-to-bumper traffic). The RS 457 is uncomfortable, so I plan to sell it and buy a more city-friendly bike. I want something lightweight with a low seat height (I’m 5'6"), a refined engine, plush suspension, and the ability to cruise comfortably at 100 km/h for occasional short highway runs.
Since you are used to a good amount of performance, we'd suggest you move to something like the Triumph Speed 400. This bike will meet your needs of having a comfortable riding position as well as a reasonably low seat height.
There are more comfortable options available, but almost all of them are adventure bikes with relatively tall seats. If you can get along with a taller seat, we'd recommend options like the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 or KTM 390 Adventure as good replacements for your Aprilia RS 457.
I want a new bike for daily commuting as well as long tours (4-5 inter-city or interstate trips per year). I’m confused between the Meteor 350, Himalayan 450, and the Royal Enfield Scrambler XC. Which one should I pick?
Of the options you've shortlisted, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will be the best all-rounder with good highway manners, plush suspension for rough roads, and it's usable inside the city too, although its weight and general size need to be kept in mind.
The Meteor 350 and Triumph Scrambler 400 XC will be better in the city than the Himalayan, but out on the highway, your comfortable cruising speeds will be capped at 80-100kph. Take a thorough test ride before you decide.
I’ve been riding a Himi450 for 2 years and want to upgrade to a bigger, twin-cylinder bike with more power and refinement — thinking about a Himi750 or BMW F450. A new Himi750 may launch in about a year; should I wait for the new model or buy an existing bike now? I also own a Ford Freestyle (2019, 58,754 km) and drive up to 250 km weekly. If I upgrade my car, I want a powerful, refined, reliable SUV with 4×4, no sunroof, and only essential safety features. Should I buy a new or used for the car, and which options would fit these needs?
Since you've cut your teeth on the Himalayan 450 for quite a while now, stepping up to a twin-cylinder offering like the Himalayan 750 or BMW F 450 GS is a good bet.
We would recommend a thorough test ride of both machines once they are launched, and would also advise you to wait some months after their launch before making your purchase.
Hi. I’m 28 years old and currently own a TVS Apache 200 4V, which I mostly ride in the city. I’m 6'4" tall and weigh about 80 kg. I want to upgrade to an adventure bike. I do Sunday rides of ~50 km and one or two 250 km round trips occasionally. My budget is ₹4 lakh. Please suggest suitable adventure bikes for my size and use case. Thanks.
Adventure bikes are a great option for a one bike garage when you need to do long trips, especially at the lower end of the market. We would advise you to pick between the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the KTM 390 Adventure duo, depending on your needs. Both options have great comfort, strong performance and superb comfort, so take a long test ride to see which one suits you best.
Hi, I’m 5'11" tall and looking for adventure bike options within a ₹3-5 lakh budget (including optional upgrades and accessories). My main use will be city commuting and weekend trips twice a month. I prefer something between 300cc and 500cc.
I travel around 40km daily to the office on bumpy roads and have started experiencing back strain. Could you suggest a comfortable bike? My height is 175cm, my weight is 105kg, and my budget is ₹2-4 lakh.
I own a Gixxer SF250 and ride it for daily commuting plus occasional long-distance touring. I want a bike with a parallel-twin engine in the sub-₹5 lakh segment. My riding will be mainly adventure touring with some light off-roading. Which bike is best for me?
The only option in this price bracket currently is the Kawasaki Versys-X 300, which we have found to be quite average and rather dated in our time with it. We would recommend waiting for options like the CFMoto 450 MT, Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 and the upcoming Norton adventure bike, which will be made in India by TVS.
If you want a bike right now in this segment, your options are restricted to the RE Himalayan 450 and the KTM 390 Adventure models.
I’m 47 years old and 5'11" tall. I’m confused between the Yezdi Roadster 2025, Honda CB350RS, and Guerrilla 450. I need a bike for both long rides and city office use. I take road trips of 400-500 km quarterly. I previously owned a Royal Enfield Thunderbird X. Please suggest which bike would be best for me.
Among the bikes you have shortlisted, we'd recommend choosing between the RE Guerrilla 450 or the Honda CB350RS. The Guerrilla is better suited for highway rides, thanks to its more powerful engine. On the other hand, the CB350RS makes a great city bike with its light clutch and smooth, torquey motor.
In a similar price range, the RE Scram 440 is also worth considering. It can comfortably cruise at 100-110 km/h on highways and offers good suspension comfort for broken city roads.
If you’re open to stretching your budget a little, the RE Himalayan 450 is another strong contender. It’s a wonderful highway tourer and still quite manageable for city use.
I own a Hero Xpulse 200 4V and want to upgrade to a bigger adventure bike. I recently test-rode a 450 and liked its power and ride comfort. Could you suggest other suitable options in this budget, and should I wait until next year to purchase?
The Himalayan 450 is a good upgrade. There was a new Mana Black variant of the Himalayan 450 unveiled at EICMA 2025, which gets accessories to make it more rugged, along with cross-spoked wheels. Other ADVs you can check out are the KTM 390 Adventure X and the TVS RTX 300. We expect the BMW F 450 GS to be launched in India next year, and that looks really promising. We suggest you take a test ride of all bikes before making a purchase.
