KTM 390 SMC R vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450

I'm kinda adventures and I do a lot of touring and cover a lot of kms. wanted service centres in case any issue with the bike. Parts are easily available also wanted a bike with comes in my budget and doesn't not bleed me when it comes to service. Hence, this bike serves all my purpose. Rides fantastic, the build quality is amazing, it's comfortable for covering long distances in one go and the suspension, I have no worlds for it. It's glides over roads or no roads without any issues. Its just the best in this class when it comes to comfort. Yes, I will recommend the bike for sure it has taken me places where i could only dream off. From north to east from east to the west, and west to the south just riding without any issue. Close your eyes and go for it.

The himalayan 450 got such a rally style design which I love it. It got the good school design with a modern twist which looks fabulous. It can take anywhere around on road or off road, the performance of the bike is really good. The bike has good amount power and I'm satisfied with what I got. When you are riding the bike it's really comfortable around the city roads with dumps and pot holes, you don't feel those dumps and potholes due to the suspension which is not adjustable but does the job. The performance of the bike is fabulous, the bike got enough power and torque to go around anywhere. The only downside is weight of the bike which is mostly front heavy, its a big deal to move the bike around while not riding. Yes absolutely, I recommend this bike for touring and off-road enthusiasts. However this bike can be used a daily commuter but one should keep in mind that the bike gives you around 19 to 21 kms mileage per litre. It's such a capable off roading machine, it got nice infotainment cluster packed with features. Finally I would say that the Royal Enfield hit a sweet spot with this machine.

I chose the Himalayan because it met my three main criteria.. it had been a brand new bike and it should be a Himalayan and I bought it with my own Money. Although 411 was discontinued the 450 was the perfect choice with fresh design and better power. The ride so far has seen its fair share of ups and downs. I had some issues with few service centre and met with a bad accident recently... But got a good service centre at last and got my bike fixed.. coming to the maintenance the cost is at a higher side but overall it's a great bike. I would like to break it in two parts as... Owing this bike you should have a good centre as that is where you will have some mental peace as if the service centre is not good then you will be in a constant fear for your bike..but yes keeping in that mind if you have a good service centre near you go for the bike

As my riding style is a little off-road type. I usually don't look out for small potholes and like that so Himalayan is way too good for the indian roads. Good for touring and city ride. Can be easily manoeuvred through the traffic Rides been good. Can be easily managed. I have driven this for the distance at 400 km till in one day. Comfort was there but seat can be improved and weight is on the heavier side which is difficult to manage sometimes My height is 5.6 and I'm managing this bike good so the above ones can easily mange this bike and you'll love this bike. Yes I would definitely recommend this bike as this is also my first bike and first in our home

its versatility, affordability, and adventure-touring capabilities. Its combination of a comfortable, upright riding posture, capable long-travel suspension, and strong low-end torque so I choosen the this bike Himalayan bike rides in highways, back roads, and off-road paths, with the experience depending on the specific route and conditions. include comfortable ergonomics for long distances and the ability to handle varied conditions, though riders must be prepared for elements like rough roads Himalayan bike ride is recommended for its comfortable and capable performance on various terrains, especially for long tours. To have the best experience, you should prepare your bike with a thorough service
