About the Reviewer

I am very glad to write a review about my very first own bike. And for that, i had multiple options in my head.
1. Royal enfield himalayan
2. Ktm Adventure 390
3. Bmw g 310 gs
4. Xpulse 200 4v
After lots of research and findings, here's my conclusion:
1. Royal enfield himalayan ->
• excellent off-roader,
• spoke wheels and smoother suspension,
• perfect ergonomics,
• responsive low and mid-range
This adventure bike the comparatively lower seat height (800mm) , can't do justice for short riders yet is reachable to medium heights. Coming to the downside of this bike,
• it lacks power and touring capabilities,
• misses out in the high range.
• having packed up with 411cc, +5 bhp / +5 torque is expected.
But overall, it's value for money and a great bike.
2. Ktm adventure 390 -> beast! performance. Single cylinder, 373.27 cc, and delivers almost 43 bhp is the power of Austrian engineering. Because of its unmatched performance in the BMW!!! that's a head-turning brand. You can easily tell this is a premium super-bike for people who do not have much knowledge with respect to bikes, as this bike looks very premium.
• it has wide tires front: 110/80 - r19 rear: 150/70 - r17. Makes it look huge when compared with the other 3 bikes.
• the typical BMW colors go very well with the body and if the design is your no.1 priority, this will be your excellent choice (can be subjective too).
Enough just about the looks, because that's the only good thing I found in this machine, as it is powered by the same TV's apache rr 310 engine tuned for adventure riding.
• not as punchy and responsive as KTM, but good enough engine.
• the suspension is softer and not confident while bending into the corners.
• also do not come with much electronics, just dual channel abs, and poor digital display.
• as it is a BMW ₹₹₹ on-road cost, servicing, spare parts, etc. Are on the expensive side.
**owner’s review: first service cost was ₹5500 @ 1000 km, second was ₹8000 @ 10000 km, & upcoming third will be around ₹15000 @ 20000 km. Done a regular service & chain replacement @ 15000 km for ₹8000. Now I must change the front fork oil seal and oil with a third service, which will cost ₹3800. I have changed the back brake pads twice & front brake pad once, which costs me a total of ₹6000. I have spent a total amount of ₹46300 for 20000 km/ for two years as maintenance cost. I think it is a very big amount for a 300 cc single-cylinder motorcycle.**
4. Hero xpulse 200 4v -> the most value for money motorcycle to my eyes, worth <2lakhs and the best off-roader. Best suspension with long travel front: cartridge type (dia 37mm) with adjustable compression and rebound damping rear: rectangular swingarm with 10-step preload adjustable mono-shock (for pro model).
• because of its lightweight 161kg (kerb weight), off-roading gets a lot easier.
• spoke wheels, long travel suspension, asks for more and more bad roads and no roads!
• 40kmpl is a bonus, providing around 500kms range for a full tank of petrol.
Now for the downside—
• 18.9 bhp is very boring on the highways and struggles even on 100 km. Cannot munch on the miles, but fun on off-roads.
• brakes could have been better
To simplify this whole review, if you require a:
Off-roader = hero xpulse 200 4v
Best design = BMWg 310 gs (again subjective)
Best performance/electronics = KTM 390 adventure
Decent class adventure = royal enfield himalayan
Hope this review is helpful for you and lets you choose your perfect motorcycle!

About the Reviewer

Value for money.
Good for long rides.
Amazing comfort.
Loaded with electronics.
Service costs are reasonable.
The riding position is comfortable. Had to install a handlebar raiser for my height (5'11) easy to ride in the city.
Avg 28kmpl mileage.
Low-end torque will make you use 1st gears for humps.
Not a complete off-roader, but a great bike for off-road modification as it is lightweight.
