About the Reviewer

Own a Kamet White. Looks bigger and neat than other colours, my personal opinion. The riding stance, comfort, good ground clearance, enough power and decent mileage makes it a perfect adventure touring bike in the price range.
But having a tube tyres is going to be a concern for the riders. Go for it.

About the Reviewer

Performance, Design and comfort was awesome compared to all other adventure bikes in the segment. They are some technical issues on which RE has to take care about. The main issue is about the joystick buttons which feel very uncomfortable to operate while riding. Shakeupjaw is the super smooth. Heat management is very well. I rode 870kms in a day but there's not heat issues on the bike.

About the Reviewer

I have been riding the Royal Enfield Himalayan base model for the last 1 year, and during this period I have completed nearly 30,000 kilometres. Overall, my experience with this bike has been extremely positive and memorable. Riding has been my passion for the past 15 years, and for me, a motorcycle should offer complete control, confidence, and comfort to the rider. The Himalayan delivers exactly that. Whether I am riding on highways, city roads, or rough and uneven terrain, the bike feels stable and well-balanced. The upright riding posture and comfortable seat make long rides less tiring, even after many hours on the road. The engine performance is smooth and dependable, especially on long journeys. The bike handles bad roads and unexpected conditions with ease, which is one of the biggest strengths of the Himalayan. Braking and suspension performance are also reliable, giving me confidence at different speeds and road conditions. What I appreciate the most is how connected the bike feels to the rider. It responds well to inputs and allows me to ride the way I have always believed a motorcycle should be ridden. Over the past year, this bike has not only been a machine but a true riding companion for me. Owning the Himalayan has been a proud moment, and I am genuinely happy with my decision. This bike has strengthened my love for riding even more. I now have a dream to upgrade and buy the top model of the Himalayan very soon, and I am confident I will achieve it.
Thank you, Royal Enfield, for creating a motorcycle that truly understands a rider’s passion and spirit.

About the Reviewer

Its value for money and looks are awesome as well as performance but when you go on a long drive and sit with two people then not feel comfortable and face some problems.
And it's my humble request to Royal Enfield to please fix this problem because when we buy it and think it will fill our all needs related to bikes and it does not fulfill our needs then feel some insecurities.

About the Reviewer

My friend and I were both in the first-year students and we thought we should plan a trip. We planned to go to Sikkim West. After planning, we had a Himalayan bike which was absolutely fantastic, absolutely fabulous, when we started the trip, we were in the first year. We planned a trip and went to Sikkim West to the lakes which are very interesting to see from above. We all know that it is not only important to study, but also to live life along with studies, that is why every year we make a plan and organise a trip on which we go to North Sikkim and other places. This is my experience and my memory.
