Questions you may find useful

I’m looking for an adventure-segment bike and have been eyeing the Hero Xpulse 210. I recently heard that Honda is planning to launch the CB300 Rally, so should I wait for it? I’ll primarily use the bike for a daily commute of around 10-20 km and occasional weekend long rides, mostly around the city and nearby areas. Given my relatively low daily running, should I increase my budget and consider the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 or KTM 390 Adventure for the occasional longer rides? Which bike would be the best choice for my requirements?

I own a Hunter 350 that has done 17,000km and will complete four years this December. I enjoyed the KTM 390 Adventure test ride and am also considering the Himalayan 450. Should I keep the Hunter and buy an ADV, or replace it with a Guerrilla 450?
