Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Price in Ranga Reddy

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.

About the Reviewer

The bike ride experience is awesome. I ride a bike awesome. Looking bike is superb every 5000km service interval.
No cons on this bike just like I want a tubeless tyre rim. The price is also good just a little bit high on color. I booked this bike on the 10th of September. And I purchase a bike on 26 December 2023. Please buy this bike.

Please do not buy this trash. Those who already bought, I wish they were not facing what I am going through. The bike instrument cluster & its switches are not working within 15 days of the purchase.
The options and settings are getting changed automatically including the ABS on off. trip value is getting reset by its own. The joystick, home button & mode change button are behaving weirdly. everything is getting selected or deselected on its own without touching the buttons.
I have videos and shared the same with RE team but they are not able to rectify the problem, Neither able to change the switch module.
Now they keep my new bike in their service centre & do all experiments with my bike.
No proper response or justification from RE team. Such poor materials and products they are using for new Himalayan.
Shame on RE. My purchase and money are in waste.
Dropped so many emails, but still no proper resolution.
if you have already purchased, I wish you good luck so that you do not experience such poor service. If you are planning to buy a new Himalayan, kindly drop the plan immediately & go for some other bike.
Himalayan 450 is a disaster from RE team.
