Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Price in Jaggampeta

1. I have placed order in December 2023 and supposed to wait for 1.5month as there was a huge demand in this new Himalayan 450. Bike got delivered in January end.
2. It was really a versatile riding experience. It is a perfect on for the person above 5.10ft. Though the weight is around 200 kg it doesn't feel like that.
3. It has stunning looks. Cannot be compared with old Himalayan 411. Front wheel mudguard is catchy. The new tail lamps works as both indicator and break lights. Group clearance has been increased, so need no to worry in off-road. I have ridden in katcha roads and highways too. Felt comfortable in both roads.
4. As it comes with tube tyres, frequent tyre check is mandatory. New Himalayan comes with multiple riding modes ABS, ECO. So based on it's better to switch to different riding modes. Chain cleaning is a must thing to be done for every 500Km. Make sure that any mud or dust is not stucked in the chain area especially in rainy season. I had a 1st service check for Himalayan at 500km. Overall cost was around Rs.1300.
5. Pros: Well designed for long rides with comfortable seating. It is capable in handling both katcha roads, highways.
Cons: Headlight is not sufficient. Additionally installing fog lamps is recommended. Radiator gets turn on frequently if the gear shifting is done from 3rd to 4th. It provides lot of heat.

Unfortunately, when I started exploring, my serious considerations were restricted BMW G310GS and KTM 390 ADV. I did multiple test rides of these two motorcycles. BMW was ruled out quickly, however, KTM 390 ADV was still in contention. Considering my current riding style and the nature of KTM I did not take the plunge. I was waiting patiently for Hero/Harley and Bajaj/Triumph to surprise me. Though I knew about the potential new Himalayan with a brand new 450 cc engine, it was never in my list. This is because I did not believe Royal Enfield will bring a single-cylinder motorcycle with a 40PS power.
We set a limit of mid-2024 and if nothing was finalized, our options were 1) Used V-Strom 650/Versys 650 or 2) New KTM 390 ADV if we are not able to find good used Vs.
Come November 1st week, Royal Enfield surprised me. A brand new Himalayan with 450 CC liquid-cooled engine with nearly 40 ps of power and 40 nm of torque. I took the plunge and pre-booked on the first day. Because this will be my third motorcycle from RE and a first-generation motorcycle from RE with its notorious reputation, I was very clear that I would convert this to booking only after an extensive test ride and only if it fits all my needs.
