Royal Enfield Himalayan [2015-2023]

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 is a versatile motorbike. I have been riding it for almost 3 years now and have completed 25000+ kms.
Now, let me share my experiences from the scratch.
The buying experience at the Royal Enfield Iblur Showroom was okay. However the sales guys here are helpful and I should mention that I got the bike delivered to me before the promised date which made me quite happy.
I loved the rugged look of the bike and truly feel that it justifies its name.
After riding the motorcycle on various terrains from city to mountains, forests and offroad patches the bike seemed to go anywhere and everywhere. "Built for all roads, Built for no roads", is the only tagline to define this bike.
Performance wise I was happy but while riding on highways lacked a little power and felt the vibrations on the foot legs every time I surpassed the 90kmph mark on the bike but it is the sweet spot on this bike and you can comfortably cruise at this speed throughout the day.
The general servicing cost is quite affordable considering the segment in which this bike falls into.
The only issue is rusting (a very common Royal Enfield problem), engine stalling mostly due to faulty fuel pump and the tube tires.
In conclusion, I must say this is a versatile machine that can take you anywhere but you need to take good care of it. Should you buy one? Definitely if you want to get hands on to your first ADV this is a must buy!

About the Reviewer

The Himalayan 411cc is a dream ride! Buying was a breeze, with a smooth process & knowledgeable staff. Riding feels like conquering any terrain effortlessly. Its rugged looks turn heads, and its performance matches the hype. Servicing is hassle-free, minimal maintenance.
Pros: Versatile, robust, reliable & comfortable for pillion
Cons: Slight vibrations at high speeds & battery drains if not used for a few weeks.

It's quiet on the expensive segment as per the specifications. But it's a killer machine. The road presence is amazing and has a great effect of aura on the people. The mileage is average (approx. 26kmpl). But totally disappointed by the services available at my place. Overall my experience is very good since it is one of my dream bike

Worst service experience. Service center mechanics are hardly aware of the issues and half the time fail to acknowledge the issues. Most of the time parts are not available. Every day some new case comes to the fore. very high maintenance. Low quality parts and build. The service center hardly cares for any bike.

Well bought this bike for all purpose however the initial feeling was mix. Clutch is too hard after some time you will feel pain in hands. Heavy weight makes u feel confident on highways but tiring in traffic. Now its high time upgrade is needed sleeper clutch, weight reduction, traction control, cornering abs.

I have Himalayan bs6. In the span of two years, I had to change
1) speedometer
2) chain
3) front shocker oil seal
4) handlebar cone set and now my bike is down with
5) engine head and valve problem! could you imagine a two-year-old bike with not more than 15000km run worth 2.5 lac developed a serious engine problem! I'd recommend not wasting 2.5/7 lac on buying garbage.
If you report any issue to the service center they simply reply "These are universal issues" "yeh problem toh aata hi hai himalayan me" bhai aaata hai toh resolve karo na ... Nahi toh mat becho bike!
Seriously regretting my decision to buy himalayan. Will make others aware of the poor built quality of bikes.
