Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 vs Yamaha R3

I bought this bike in Delhi and drove 17000KM here are the few point that could help you : •Buy RSA •Add extended warranty •Add tubeless spoke wheel •Go gym or strengthen yourself •Always make sure to check your Disk brake pads it cost more then your bike service. What you will enjoy: •People always look you for you bike presence •Ask fuel efficiency •Full controlling in Handeling •Best and best seatings posture •Mileage is not that bad •Service and parts easily available •Good re-sale •Best for off-road | Long drive

Purely because of Royal Enfield reliability Upgrading from a 2015 classic 350 to Himalayan 450 is a massive difference, Literally is built for no roads. Feels like a bigger bike compared to previous generations. Bigger tank unlocks better highway travels. Positive about the bike is the Ride has been the smoothest the engine is very responsive in a good way. It is aggressive when you need it to be the plush suspension lets you move on and off road freely without any issues. Can be easily managed in traffic. Really good on the highways excellent seat comfort for the rider and the pillion for city travel as well as long highway travelling. Can be used as a daily commuter bike in city Negative about the bike Should have had the option for cruise control and quick shifter for better riding experience. I will definitely recommend this bike to the person who can firstly handle such a tall and heavy bike With great power comes great responsibility so if it is going to the first ever bike i will recommend to start riding the bike in eco mode to first get a hang of power and throttle response

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
