Trending Questions on Royal Enfield Himalayan - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Nishant yadavon Dec 14, 2025

I am a fourth-year college student looking for a good cruiser-style bike. Budget is not an issue. I do not want a fat or race-styled motorcycle; I prefer a standard, classic look similar to Royal Enfield or Harley-Davidson (or the X440 for reference). I want a bike that offers strong speed and excellent stability, with no major compromises in performance or usability. Please suggest suitable options.

Among the RE 350s, you can consider the Hunter / Bullet / Classic models for their comfortable ride, neutral ergonomics and smooth as well as characterful engine. In a similar vein, the Honda CB350s also warrant strong consideration for similar reasons. 

All the Harley-Davidson X440 models have a similar riding experience and only differ in terms of features and design, so pick the one you like the most. 

Lastly, we would also recommend you take a look at the Triumph Speed T4 and Triumph Speed 400 as they offer great performance and quality at a reasonable price. 

Take a test ride of all the bikes you shortlist before you decide.

Asked by: Mahesh Mohanon Nov 28, 2025

Hello, Autocar. I am considering purchasing a new bike, and my shortlisted options are the RE Shotgun 650, Bear 650, Himalayan and Classic 650. My daily usage is not much, just a 5km commute to the office and back. I primarily want good suspension and design. Please share your advice. If there is any other model you would recommend, please mention it.

Of the three Royal Enfield 650s you have shortlisted, none of them has particularly comfortable rear suspension, especially so in the city. The Himalayan 450 would be the logical choice between the four you have considered but if you want something a little more manageable and nimble inside the city, you can look at its sibling - the Guerrilla 450.
If you want something that will stand out and look good, the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is a unique option that you can consider. Underneath its svelte, Swedish bodywork are the KTM 390 Duke chassis and engine, so you should have a supremely talented bike that will also be uncommon.

Asked by: Vineet Madhokon Nov 23, 2025

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?

Between the two options you've shortlisted, we would steer you toward the Himalayan 450 because it is a more versatile machine and has better suspension comfort of the two bikes, by some margin.
While the Royal Enfiled Bear 650 is a competent bike in many ways, its rear suspension is far too firm for its own good and it cannot be had with cross-spoke rims permitting tubeless tyres - like the Himalayan can - which means fixing a puncture on this 216kg machine will be a task to say the least, even before you take into account the lack of a centre stand.

Asked by: Abhishekon Nov 18, 2025

Seeking advice: I’m 6’1”, mid-30s, well built, and want a motorcycle for commuting in Bengaluru (~25 km/day) and weekend pleasure rides (I already own a scooter for errands). I need strong road presence, plush suspension, and a comfortable riding position that handles busted city roads—without going full track monster. What models should I consider?

Since you haven't specified what your budget or your preferred style of motorcycle is, we'll give you a list of diverse options. In the ADV space, you can look at the TVS Apache RTX 300, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, and any of the 250 / KTM 390 Adventure models, depending on the sort of power you want and your budget.  
In the neo-retro space, you can look at the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 models and the Honda CB350 trio at the lower end of the scale, and the Interceptor 650 if you want something bigger.
If you want a sporty naked motorcycle, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 and the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 will fit the bill. Do take exhaustive test rides of all machines you shortlist before putting your money down.

Asked by: Chethan hon Nov 14, 2025

I am 5 ft 11 in tall and currently own a 2018 Dominar 400. I plan to upgrade to a Bear 650 for my daily commute of about 60 km each way to an office on the Outer Ring Road. I am attracted to the Bear 650’s performance but am concerned about maintenance costs. Please advise whether the Bear 650 is the best choice, and suggest other 650 cc bikes with lower maintenance.

We would advise you to look at other options than the Royal Enfield Bear 650 because we found the rear suspension to be very stiff in our time with it. This means that on less-than-perfect city roads, your back will bear the brunt of the bumps, which won't be ideal given your long daily commute.

Instead, we would recommend you look at the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 because it has much better suspension comfort and will have exciting performance while also fitting in your price range. 

If your heart is set on a 650cc bike, then the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is the best bet for city use with its supple suspension, neutral ergonomics and creamy smooth engine. 

Take a test ride and decide before you buy.

Asked by: Deepanshu Shokenon Nov 12, 2025

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.

Asked by: Subhankar Routon Nov 9, 2025

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.

Asked by: Salmanon Nov 5, 2025

My RE Hunter 350 is 2 years old and has done 23,000 km. It has been an absolute gem - I’ve only replaced brake pads and engine oil, and nothing else. I use it about 95% on highways and long tours over 300 km. It has never failed me, even during extreme off-roading (yes, on a Hunter) and through cyclonic storms with very low visibility. Now I am looking for a replacement purely because I feel the engine power output is insufficient. Please suggest options.

Since you seem to have had a lovely experience with the Hunter, and if you want to stay within the Royal Enfield fold, the Himalayan 450 makes for a great option for your sort of usage. 

If you find it too big and heavy, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 can be considered because it weighs as much as the Hunter but has a far higher performance and capability ceiling. If you want to look elsewhere, then the KTM 390 Adventure models (both the X and standard) are good options in the ADV space. The 390 Duke is a great option if you want a sportier machine. 

Do decide if the aggressive and polarizing new KTM design philosophy is for you after the clean and pleasing lines of your Hunter. If you want something like the KTM 390 Duke without the in-your-face looks and colours, the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is mechanically identical to the Duke but has a far more pleasing aesthetic and is also more spacious.
