Royal Enfield Himalayan FAQs
Trending Questions on Royal Enfield Himalayan - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am 41 years old and started my motorcycle journey with a Pulsar, which I rode for 15 years before switching to a Dominar in 2019. Although the Dominar’s power was addictive, it was not as smooth as the Pulsar and had vibes and niggles. I sold it and bought a Meteor 350 in 2021. While I enjoyed the smoothness of the J-series engine, it now feels underpowered. My rides are mostly in the city but include long commutes of 60–70 km and occasional weekend rides. What should I be looking at?
Since you mentioned you have long commutes, and you want something fairly engaging to ride, we'll recommend a mix of ADVs and comfortable roadsters. The new TVS Apache RTX 300 makes a strong case for itself as a single bike to do everything. It is definitely something that should be near or at the top of your list.
You can even take a look at the KTM 390 Adventure models and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 - both are quick, comfortable and have great long-distance capability.
If you want a more road-biased bike, then options you can look at are the Triumph Speed 400, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, TVS Apache RTR 310 and KTM 390 Duke. Depending on the balance between performance and looks you want to strike, they all have something unique to offer.
Take a proper test ride of all bikes you shortlist before making a decision.
Hi, I am 20 years old and weigh 76 kg. My daily ride is around 30 km, mostly in the city. I am confused between the TVS Ronin, Yamaha XSR155, Honda CB300R, and Hunter. Kindly guide me, as I am a new bike rider. Thank you.
Let's dissect each bikes strenghts and weaknesses so you know what you're in for. The TVS Ronin is a relaxed, comfortable, peppy and relatively fuel-efficient machine. If you don't mind how it looks, the Ronin is a machine that will keep you satisfied for a long time.
The Yamaha XSR155 is essentially a handsome MT-15 with some small ergonomic changes. It is the sportiest machine of all the bikes you're considering and that reflects in its canted forward riding position and stiff suspension setup. If you have good roads around your residence, then the XSR makes for a compelling purchase.
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and the Honda CB350 H'ness are similar machines with somewhat familiar riding experiences. Both are comfortable, look good and have big, torquey air-cooled engines. The difference is that the Honda feels like a more substantial bike that needs a little more effort when riding, owing to its super tall gearing - not necessarily a bad thing, if you're into this sort of thing.
The Hunter will feel smaller, lighter and more flickable inside the city. Additionally, its well-judged gearing will ensure you don't have to make many gear changes.
Take a comprehensive test ride of all 4 before you decide.
I am 40 years old and enjoy travelling. I prefer riding a two-wheeler over driving a car, but I suffer from back pain. Please suggest a bike with the following priorities: best seating comfort, ability to do long rides of 300-500 km, and a refined engine with minimal vibrations at cruising speeds.
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.

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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
