There are minimal vibrations upto 100kmph and wind protection is pretty good and when combined with a comfortable seating position, one can tour with lesser stops. Fuel tank capacity is 15 litres which ensure a range of at least 375 km with an average fuel economy of 25kmpl.
At present, the Himalayan retails at Rs 1.82 lakh ex-showroom. There is not a direct rival to the Himalayan but Hero XPulse 200 at the lower end and BMW G 310 GS on upper end give some competition.
The monopoly of RE Himalayan being threatened by the KTM 250 Adventure which is expected to carry a price tag of Rs 2.20 lakh ex-showroom. For a premium of Rs 40,000 over the Himalayan, 250 Adventure will provide more power and agility with lower kerb weight. And yes, more fun on the tour which is acceptable.
