Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 vs Yezdi Adventure

It has so many tricks up its sleeves to be an ideal learner’s off-road motorcycle.

In this report, we will tell you the pros and cons of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 specific to city riding and daily commutes.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is one of the most talked about new motorcycles on the market. And a bunch of you want to buy one. Its shortcomings, therefore, will bother you. But, how much? Well, we decided we had to answer that question. We had to spend months with the motorcycle to get a better, clearer picture of how it truly is to live with. And so we now have one on a long term test.

The Adventure is the most expensive Yezdi one can buy in India, and the reason for this is the segment it belongs to. The adventure touring segment in the country is booming, and many young Indians want to get out of their mundane life and explore the breathtaking scenery and rural parts of the country. To do this, there’s a need for a motorcycle that can take care of the comfort and luggage and also allow the rider to go to places that standard bikes can’t go. Such bikes don’t come cheap as they are engineered to take a lot of beatings from Mother Nature. Plus, this bike also has to be an all-rounder because, like it or not, weekdays are when the bike will be used as a commuter, and on the weekends, it should transform into an explorer.

There’s a new rival to the segment leader the Royal Enfield Himalayan – it is called the Yezdi Adventure and it is the most expensive Yezdi motorcycle on sale in India currently. It is priced at Rs 2.48 lakh on-road Mumbai and that makes little affordable than the Himalayan.
