Yes the Himalayan would be the bike I would choose if I wanted to tour the whole of India and beyond. It can be fixed by almost anyone. But if I wanted to have fun it would not be the bike I would choose. The KTM 390 Adventure is a real fun bike and the bike I would choose any day as long as I ride it within India.
Forgot dreaming about Himalayan 650, it won't exist in future, as 650 are iconic twins only comes with interceptor and continental gt, Since Himalayan is a special character motorcycle may be powered with newer high CC engine in future and not exactly with the 650s.
Not really. I have the budget but I hate the looks of adv 390 and even though I am 5'8" I like shorter seat height as it gives me more confidence. While Enfield just doesn't have enough power, as I want mainly for touring. I am considering interceptor but it needs too many mods (custom windshield, custom seat, few compromises for panniers) and overall after mods it looks ugly. So a himalayan with bigger engine would be something which will suit me.
Hi Guys , I am Riding Himalayan from last 2 year bike is very much comfortable with affordable price range, but the problem is cone set ...... I change cone set in 6 times is last 2years ..... And same problem facing in 2019 productions ... @motorbeam Why you are not sharing the Cone set problems in Himalayan productions
@@perpetualsaudade skinny doesnt matter at all if you practice handling the weight without ignition, while riding weight doesnt matter at all, but yes if beginner then I would suggest Xpulse if interested in offroad kind of bike.
The KTM is great off-road, I know as I have one and in Colorado, USA you will find the worst mining roads to push any bike to the limit. When it comes right down to it, a skilled off-road rider can take just about anything off road and make it work. Neither of these bikes are dirt bikes, so if you want to get serious off road... buy a true enduro. So, I keep hearing about low end torque. KTM has plenty for going off road. What I do see in many videos is people that have little experience in the dirt and can't get a bike going on a steep hill once stalled out. Most all the videos I see are tires that are set to street pressures, inexperienced riders, riders that don't know how to slip a clutch and feather the throttle. you can gear this bike down, like any bike, if you need that extra grunt down low, But I have had no issues with this bike off road. I think half the people that complain about the low-end torque have left traction control enabled. Anyway I've never ridden the Himalayan but I'm sure it's a great bike. Soft suspension is great for riding around slowly but will fail you when going at speed, on the other side of this coin, stiff suspension at slow speeds will wear you out unless you stand up. On the KTM if you reduce the compression and rebound the ride is quite nice. Again, I've never seen a single video of anyone changing the settings on the KTM suspension to fit the road conditions. Something you might think about for another video. Thank you for putting out the videos. I commend the people of India for sharing all the tips, trips and comparison of bikes and I get to see some of your beautiful country. Now I'll also say, any new bike to you will take time to learn it's handling characteristics on and off road. Any bike will seem like you are wrestling it until you put the miles on the bike. At some point you and the bike will be working together like old lovers...LOL. Thanks again and keep the videos coming. It's winter here and I'm a fair weather rider and I love to see others enjoying the warm weather
I agree to 💯 % KTM Duke Adv needs at least some skills to work on the throttle, bike is really fantastic. I am also an RE fan and own an Interceptor 650, happy with my bike, but my experience didn’t go well with Himalayan for me. No hard feelings it’s again a personal choice, this comment is well written Bill, I have been to Colorado Springs and seen the roads too. Roads are appealing and pleasing mountain terrains. I loved the stretch of Garden of Gods 💐 KTM is for trained or at least for skilled people. KTM Duke Adv is a better Enduro Machine, I will pick up a KTM Adv anytime 😊
@@Torquebeast650what a retarded comparison... Who the fuck will want to browse CZcams on their bike if they had a choice? Smart watches are multi purpose... Does it mean you can play pubg/cod on your smartwatch?
I enjoyed your video. I bought a 2021 Himalayan. Here in Canada the KTM is the same price as the Himalayan. I did look closely at the KTM but I never got to ride one. Even though, I’m quite short I thought the weight of the KTM would have made it manageable. These are both are excellent motorcycles. I chose the Himalayan at least partially because my last bike was a 2018 Africa Twin DCT which had all the luggage boxes. I wanted something smaller, lighter and more manageable off road. The lustre of the technology had worn off and I was done with all the plastic. I am very happy with my Himalayan. I have 7,000 km on it now. When I’m not on it I’m planning trips. I have one trip planned to go into the Arctic and another to tour British Columbia’s ghost towns. I think that your evaluation of the Himalayan is quite accurate, however, I think the brakes for off road are really good. No matter what the conditions are, you can slam on the brakes and get a safe controlled stop. The Himalayan has a better range because of the larger tank.
Actually it's unfair to compare KTM 390Adv to Himalayan. As both belong to Different Genre. People with bit of Inclination towards off road riding will probably opt for Himalayan and People those who want to take ride cross continent relatively in less time may go for KTM 390 Adv . Both of them are good in thier games.

And don't get me wrong,inclusion of additional features are great but only after performing good at what they are ment for..
Guys ...Use brain and choose Himalayan....Why ? 1) cost low ..Approx 1.2 lakhs cheaper 2) In this saved cost you can purchase all accessories and approx 5 years petrol 3) 80-110 kmph is sufficient for all day ...It's safe compared to 100-140 kmph full day cruising 4) Maintainance is more cheaper...Means cost of ownerships is low 5) If vehicle will fall down then you have to worry for KTM not for Himalayan 6) pillion can enjoy long rides... 7) Himalayan is fully practical
Ktm has loaded it with features which many people doesn't need and use at all. Himalayan maybe barebones but that's all you need on a day to day basis with essentials like a Jerry can mount, pannier mount, saddle mounts etc. And himalayan is a short people's delight.
The KTM 390 adventure is by far my first pick, but will go with Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires. And you need to look at some videos where the KTM 390 is doing some very hard off road and having no problems, the Himalayan might be better off road but the KTM 390 is more than what most people will ever do on them. And they do have a all metal bash plate, from KTM which I will be getting. There also the fact that they have way more dealers for the KTM than for Royal Enfield, so if you are on the road and need some service it will be much easer to get. I do like the spoked wheels, but if you are out in the middle of now where a tubeless tires are much easer and faster to repair. I did have a Royal Enfield 500 but being no dealers on the east coast of Canada, I sold it before leaving ONT. But liked that bike as one of my favorites, and most fun rides.
I believe KTM Duke 390 Adventure is a better bike anytime in terms of quality, features and modernization. Worth paying the extra money to have good fun and peace of mind. The Himalayan did not appeal that much to me after I saw KTM 390 Duke Adventure. In video it is mentioned that KTM seat is stiff and not good for long rides, I believe its reverse, please re-check with any Adventure Tourer or correct me here if I am incorrect. Himalayan is a good bike for people who are first time to moderate off-roading but KTM requires a professional throttle inputs to use it as an Adventure bike, if one learns this art then its a great Adventure bike, else it will remain a tourer for you.
I don't feel comparing Himalayan to 3310 and Adventure 390 to iPhone. Both companies resemble different engine characteristics and RE has done a fabulous job on the himalayan and so as Ktm. In my terms an true tourer is the Himalayan. It wouldn't dominate any calls and that's what I love. Even I have a bs4 Himalayan. 2 years passed clocked 28k km but still she feels beautiful..❤
Here where I live, in Argentina, Himalayan (only bs4 version available) costs 5.000 us dollars, against 11.300 for the ktm 390 adventure. Kawasaki versys 300 costs 12.800 almost the same as GS 310. So no comparation at all. I went for the Himalayan, and will have to wait 2 months for delivery. Hope time will pass quick.
@@fernandogaraygorta2223 El servicio pre y post venta me parecio un desastre. No entiendo por que la gente habla bien de eso. No fue mi experiencia. Me fue mejor comprando autos, aunque parezca mentira. Respecto a la moto, es todo lo que yo esperaba que fuese. No la cambiaria por una naked mas bajita, con radio de giro limitado y con suspension dura. Tampoco la cambiaria por otra moto con muchas revoluciones y mas potencia. No la cambiaria por la ktm, ni la 250 ni siquiera la 390. Pero eso es algo personal, ya que de entrada elegi la Himalayan por ser una moto tranquila, que no se te levanta la rueda de adelante al tocar el acelerador. El andar me resulta muy satisfactorio, con un asiento comodo, suspensión blanda, pocas vibraciones, pocas revoluciones, pero potencia suficiente para adelantar al trafico en la ciudad, con frenos bastante seguros que no se clavan de golpe sino mas bien son progresivos. Para algunos sera una moto aburrida, ya que no corre ni se clava, pero yo la disfruto como si estuviese paseando. Lo que no me gusto de la moto... La palanca de cambio esta muy cerca del pedalin, deja poco espacio para el pie, y el motor calienta un poco andando mas de una hora por la ciudad entre semaforos, no llega a ser molesto, pero preferiria que se note menos. Tampoco me terminan de convencer los espejos, me llevo mucho tiempo acomodarlos y siguen sin mostrarme todo lo que yo quisiera. Lo que mas me gusto fue el tablero que se lee bien y me da toda la información que necesito, y la sensacion de estabilidad que da la moto al andar.
I owned both : if you want old school "soft" comfort and like vintage bikes, buy the Himalayan. If you want a modern riding bike with more power and great handling, buy the KTM. I sold the Himalayan and now own the KTM. The Himalayan just didnt have enough power for some situations, and I couldnt get comfortable on the seat, not even with the optional touring seat. I also like the remainingfuel range meter, cornering abs and the adjustable (and way better) suspension on the ktm. They are so different you could own both and have very little overlap. Neither is better, but you get alot more for your money with ktm.
nice comment on both bikes, how's the KTM 390 engine and maintenance? here in Philippines, KTM 390 is not the first choice, most motovloggers prefer the jump to 500cc adv bikes (Bristol venturi, benelli trk502x)
Dude, IMO a hard seat is the best option when going on long rides (500+kms per day). After 500 kms, it becomes impossible and painful to use a softer seat.
Agree, CZcamsrs many times speak anything with confidence. And seriously this video glorifies shiny new electronics just like gadgets and totally no adventure shot in this video. So how come adventure bikes be compared, just talks and some shots from the street. Sorry to criticise but review can be better with proper comparsion instead of just sharing opinion.
Rode a neighbor's Himalayan for a few months but bought a KTM 390 Adventure because of the several defects in the Himalayan. KTM Adventure is just more reliable. Most of us would be touring rather than doing very challenging off-road. Happy with my choice of KTM 390 Adventure after 3500+ kilometres on Highways, off-road and Mumbai's bumper to bumper traffic. The KTM aces all departments. No comparison actually.
@@iamsolo5683Actually Yes who told KTM isn't reliable in my place many KTM bikes are running fine it's just people like you who are still living in the old times and still think that these brands can't offer reliability you know time changes and so do the companies improve their service and reliability.
So i have today booked Himalayan for off-road adventure grene and here i am the difference between for same and now proud 😎 to book it and for my choice ☺️😎
both are great and especially BOTH ARE IN GOOD PRICING!!! spending around 1 lacs more is good to get adv 390, but if you cant afford that 1 lacs, then himalayan is to go with 🙌
You are the only person I have come across who mentioned the visor of the Himalayan is hindering. Infact, it distorts any view ahead through it. That's a pain during offriding on rough terrain and stream crossings
mr .great you should not tease RE ......ktm ha its ok its speeder but RE is best .indian , and best for indian,and its childhood dream of millions like me...
When you compare both it's definitely not. Have you checked her recent videos, You will understand why she shifted from Himalayan to a new bike. Puncture hua tho fatke haath me aayega if you are touring in extreme weather

@@nischalk1336 these kind of bikes don't have 6th gear Good luck with alloys on offroads You'll then realize It's easier to carry spare tube than spare alloy

I'm in Canada and I would have bought the Himalayan in a minute but it just can't survive on our highways. I bought the 390 Adventure which is a good highway bike, but not so great off-road. Also, there's a big shortage of Himalayans here. They sell them faster than they can import them, very popular bike. Anyway, enjoying my 390A.
I'm begrudingly selling my Himmy because riding it 75 miles one way on two lane highways to get to the edge of the region I like to ride for the day is not at all enjoyable (or else I end up trailering it). I need something that is loafing at 65mph and can quickly get up to 80 to pass slower traffic. I really like the Himmy's low seat height (I'm age 62 with 29" inseam) and I realize that finding a 40-50hp adv bike with low seat height won't be easy.
With pulser 220f you can also do offroading no issues only thing you won't be having much ground clearance depends how good you can handle your own motorcycle and also depends in your confidence , positivity and riding experience.Also everywhere you won't get machanic for highly sophisticated bikes if you have mejor break down between the mountain's .Just think before you do something .I can only say himalayan would be the best and wise choice for India.
If you want good tourer go for adv 390 It can give you offroad fun and onroad pleasure, you can even catchup with 600cc bikes. If your budget is tight go for dominor, why did you waste 80%onroad pleasure just for 20%offroad fun🤣🤣

@@viankit1 Ah, yes. I misunderstood. Yes, a comparison between the 250 Adventure and Himalayan is more direct. Sad that the 250 adv is 50k more expensive than the Himalayan. Yes, it has been in showrooms but the media will likely be restricted by an embargo. We should be getting reviews soon enough.
@@twowheeledparadox on the other thought, 250 is much expensive comparatively, no TFT, no quickshifter, less power & torque for obvious reasons, no metzellers, 130 section rear and 100 section front tyres, no cornering ABS, no traction control. So much to lose for 57k rupees😥
Shouldn't I buy a Duke 390 with dual sport tyres and save some money instead.. there is not much difference between both the motorcycles. Also in cost of an adventure 390 I get a Himalayan, better foot pegs, switchable ABS, panniers, is highly customisable and I don't have to rev it all the time. Edit: don't forget riding gear
Please speak at slower pace. While we think and understand the point what you are telling the next point has already started. A pause between two sentences will be a great help. Nice content overall.
Oh wow. It is absolutely a best choice for the price as it is not just an off reader hut also good for cities as well. Talking abt quality of the bike, watch CZcams channel "itchy boots". This is a internationally acclaimed for his quality at this price.
Nice video Faisal..to pick among one it would be definately 390 adventure...it's value for money and takes u from one place to another safe, fast and quick..even if you have to encounter bad roads it does it all..and than there is reliability factor which ktm is far more superior

The day RE gives Interceptor engine to the Himalayan.. The bike would easily be the best Adventure bike in India easily!!.. Until then though all other adventure bikes are only compromises..
They did a run off between the KTM 390 Adventure and the Himalayan off road and they bough did very good but bough riders liked the KTM as more capable, I just got a KTM 390 Adventure and find the mirrors very good, and as for luggage I put the GIVI Trekker 33/ 46 hard bags on and can go bigger if I want, so no problem with luggage on the KTM I also got better hand guards for it and am waiting for the better bash plate, and also went with Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires which I find very good on pavement and gravel and dirt roads. Will try some single track when I get the better bash plate. So far have 3,500 + Km on it. and getting an average of 3.5 liter per 100 Km and as good as 3.2, and even taking it hard I get 3.8 but only had that once most of the time it is 3.5 or less, and that is checking at the gas station fill ups, and the bike is just about always the same as I get.

No matter what the conditions are, you can slam on the brakes and get a safe controlled stop. The Himalayan has a better range because of the larger tank.
I will chose the classic over modern 😉
Actually it's unfair to compare KTM 390Adv to Himalayan. As both belong to Different Genre. People with bit of Inclination towards off road riding will probably opt for Himalayan and People those who want to take ride cross continent relatively in less time may go for KTM 390 Adv . Both of them are good in thier games.
No they belong to the same genre
KTM 390 Adveture needs to be compaired with BMW 310 GS 2020 not with Himalayan. Expecting a video like that.
BMW G310 GS is more refined than Adventure 390, but Adventure 390 has Quickshifters and Traction control and a better ride quality.
true!! himalayan should be compared with adventure 250 perhaps!! adv 250 wud be much better!! adventure 390 is miles ahead than himalayan!

Guys ...Use brain and choose Himalayan....Why ?
1) cost low ..Approx 1.2 lakhs cheaper
2) In this saved cost you can purchase all accessories and approx 5 years petrol
3) 80-110 kmph is sufficient for all day ...It's safe compared to 100-140 kmph full day cruising
4) Maintainance is more cheaper...Means cost of ownerships is low
5) If vehicle will fall down then you have to worry for KTM not for Himalayan
6) pillion can enjoy long rides...
7) Himalayan is fully practical
Much rather buy an Xpulse 200 which is miles more vfm and practical than himalayan
100-140km touring is not safe? Please buy a splendor and tour at 60kmph.. it'll be safer😂😂😂😂😂

Ktm has loaded it with features which many people doesn't need and use at all. Himalayan maybe barebones but that's all you need on a day to day basis with essentials like a Jerry can mount, pannier mount, saddle mounts etc. And himalayan is a short people's delight.
Might as well buy the Xpulse 200 which is far more vfm and sensible
But Himalayan is not that good on day to day basis. It heats very much and tuff to handle in traffic because of it's weight.
@@nischalk1336 not ideal for cruising
@@nishadapte3571 agreed bro. But I don't think it heats as badly as ktm does.
@@pradidorai the adventure 390 has no heating issues during city commute, whatsoever.
The KTM 390 adventure is by far my first pick, but will go with Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires. And you need to look at some videos where the KTM 390 is doing some very hard off road and having no problems, the Himalayan might be better off road but the KTM 390 is more than what most people will ever do on them. And they do have a all metal bash plate, from KTM which I will be getting. There also the fact that they have way more dealers for the KTM than for Royal Enfield, so if you are on the road and need some service it will be much easer to get. I do like the spoked wheels, but if you are out in the middle of now where a tubeless tires are much easer and faster to repair. I did have a Royal Enfield 500 but being no dealers on the east coast of Canada, I sold it before leaving ONT. But liked that bike as one of my favorites, and most fun rides.
I believe KTM Duke 390 Adventure is a better bike anytime in terms of quality, features and modernization. Worth paying the extra money to have good fun and peace of mind. The Himalayan did not appeal that much to me after I saw KTM 390 Duke Adventure.
In video it is mentioned that KTM seat is stiff and not good for long rides, I believe its reverse, please re-check with any Adventure Tourer or correct me here if I am incorrect. Himalayan is a good bike for people who are first time to moderate off-roading but KTM requires a professional throttle inputs to use it as an Adventure bike, if one learns this art then its a great Adventure bike, else it will remain a tourer for you.
I don't feel comparing Himalayan to 3310 and Adventure 390 to iPhone.
Both companies resemble different engine characteristics and RE has done a fabulous job on the himalayan and so as Ktm.
In my terms an true tourer is the Himalayan.
It wouldn't dominate any calls and that's what I love.
Even I have a bs4 Himalayan.
2 years passed clocked 28k km but still she feels beautiful..❤
Honda activa works fine for me even off road.
I have seen people struggling with heavy bikes
Pretty sure that your Honda activa can't go 70 kmph through a slushy area
Here where I live, in Argentina, Himalayan (only bs4 version available) costs 5.000 us dollars, against 11.300 for the ktm 390 adventure. Kawasaki versys 300 costs 12.800 almost the same as GS 310. So no comparation at all. I went for the Himalayan, and will have to wait 2 months for delivery. Hope time will pass quick.
En esa Luis, esperando!
@@fedenoexiste Tambien estas en Argentina esperando una Himalayan?
Dos meses y todavia sigo esperando. Supuestamente se esta patentando esta semana. Si, estoy en Argentina, Buenos Aires.
como fue la experiencia? te pasarias a la ktm 250 adv ??
que tal el servicio post venta??
@@fernandogaraygorta2223 El servicio pre y post venta me parecio un desastre. No entiendo por que la gente habla bien de eso. No fue mi experiencia. Me fue mejor comprando autos, aunque parezca mentira. Respecto a la moto, es todo lo que yo esperaba que fuese. No la cambiaria por una naked mas bajita, con radio de giro limitado y con suspension dura. Tampoco la cambiaria por otra moto con muchas revoluciones y mas potencia. No la cambiaria por la ktm, ni la 250 ni siquiera la 390. Pero eso es algo personal, ya que de entrada elegi la Himalayan por ser una moto tranquila, que no se te levanta la rueda de adelante al tocar el acelerador. El andar me resulta muy satisfactorio, con un asiento comodo, suspensión blanda, pocas vibraciones, pocas revoluciones, pero potencia suficiente para adelantar al trafico en la ciudad, con frenos bastante seguros que no se clavan de golpe sino mas bien son progresivos. Para algunos sera una moto aburrida, ya que no corre ni se clava, pero yo la disfruto como si estuviese paseando. Lo que no me gusto de la moto... La palanca de cambio esta muy cerca del pedalin, deja poco espacio para el pie, y el motor calienta un poco andando mas de una hora por la ciudad entre semaforos, no llega a ser molesto, pero preferiria que se note menos. Tampoco me terminan de convencer los espejos, me llevo mucho tiempo acomodarlos y siguen sin mostrarme todo lo que yo quisiera. Lo que mas me gusto fue el tablero que se lee bien y me da toda la información que necesito, y la sensacion de estabilidad que da la moto al andar.
ADV 250 vs HImalayan would be better comparison considering similar pricing

Bhai dhuk ho raha hai mere pas bike nahi hai.. video dhek ke mann shant kar raha hu
As a rider I offcourse choose Himalayan... cause it's a powerful massive machine can run in everywhere and a huge advantage it's metal body.......
I owned both : if you want old school "soft" comfort and like vintage bikes, buy the Himalayan. If you want a modern riding bike with more power and great handling, buy the KTM. I sold the Himalayan and now own the KTM. The Himalayan just didnt have enough power for some situations, and I couldnt get comfortable on the seat, not even with the optional touring seat. I also like the remainingfuel range meter, cornering abs and the adjustable (and way better) suspension on the ktm. They are so different you could own both and have very little overlap. Neither is better, but you get alot more for your money with ktm.
nice comment on both bikes, how's the KTM 390 engine and maintenance? here in Philippines, KTM 390 is not the first choice, most motovloggers prefer the jump to 500cc adv bikes (Bristol venturi, benelli trk502x)
I'd rather go with the newly launched V Strom 250 SX or Yezdi Adventure (but there are service issues with Yezdi as it is not available everywhere).
Dude, IMO a hard seat is the best option when going on long rides (500+kms per day). After 500 kms, it becomes impossible and painful to use a softer seat.
Agree, CZcamsrs many times speak anything with confidence. And seriously this video glorifies shiny new electronics just like gadgets and totally no adventure shot in this video. So how come adventure bikes be compared, just talks and some shots from the street. Sorry to criticise but review can be better with proper comparsion instead of just sharing opinion.
Himalaya took 4-5 months of delivery. The worst
U should have added BMW GS as well
I am an Enfielder through and through but I so like your take on things motorcycling
MB BS6 BMW G310GS Review is still pending!.. A comparo involving that also wudve been perfect!
Rode a neighbor's Himalayan for a few months but bought a KTM 390 Adventure because of the several defects in the Himalayan. KTM Adventure is just more reliable. Most of us would be touring rather than doing very challenging off-road. Happy with my choice of KTM 390 Adventure after 3500+ kilometres on Highways, off-road and Mumbai's bumper to bumper traffic. The KTM aces all departments. No comparison actually.
Are you joking 😂😂 ktm and reliabilty in same sentence
@@iamsolo5683Actually Yes who told KTM isn't reliable in my place many KTM bikes are running fine it's just people like you who are still living in the old times and still think that these brands can't offer reliability you know time changes and so do the companies improve their service and reliability.
I think its the time to launch the most waited and phenominal HIMALYAN 650 to rock on the asses of bmw and ktm.
🔥💯
So i have today booked Himalayan for off-road adventure grene and here i am the difference between for same and now proud 😎 to book it and for my choice ☺️😎
Went to few bike trips, will pick low end torque any day over high revving engine
Same here.
both are great and especially BOTH ARE IN GOOD PRICING!!! spending around 1 lacs more is good to get adv 390, but if you cant afford that 1 lacs, then himalayan is to go with 🙌
You are the only person I have come across who mentioned the visor of the Himalayan is hindering. Infact, it distorts any view ahead through it. That's a pain during offriding on rough terrain and stream crossings
Himalayan ❤️
Knuckle guard in ktm is plastics which is no use . In Himalayan it's metal

I'm in Canada and I would have bought the Himalayan in a minute but it just can't survive on our highways. I bought the 390 Adventure which is a good highway bike, but not so great off-road. Also, there's a big shortage of Himalayans here. They sell them faster than they can import them, very popular bike. Anyway, enjoying my 390A.

To have proper understanding of the data info on KTM and understand all the features on K console "Whitehat" gonna launch crash course
I'm begrudingly selling my Himmy because riding it 75 miles one way on two lane highways to get to the edge of the region I like to ride for the day is not at all enjoyable (or else I end up trailering it). I need something that is loafing at 65mph and can quickly get up to 80 to pass slower traffic. I really like the Himmy's low seat height (I'm age 62 with 29" inseam) and I realize that finding a 40-50hp adv bike with low seat height won't be easy.
With pulser 220f you can also do offroading no issues only thing you won't be having much ground clearance depends how good you can handle your own motorcycle and also depends in your confidence , positivity and riding experience.Also everywhere you won't get machanic for highly sophisticated bikes if you have mejor break down between the mountain's .Just think before you do something .I can only say himalayan would be the best and wise choice for India.
If you want good tourer go for adv 390
It can give you offroad fun and onroad pleasure, you can even catchup with 600cc bikes.

@@twowheeledparadox on the other thought, 250 is much expensive comparatively, no TFT, no quickshifter, less power & torque for obvious reasons, no metzellers, 130 section rear and 100 section front tyres, no cornering ABS, no traction control.
So much to lose for 57k rupees😥
If only the himalayan came with the same engine specs of the ktm adv, if only the ktm adv had adjustable seat height or lower seat height.
Shouldn't I buy a Duke 390 with dual sport tyres and save some money instead.. there is not much difference between both the motorcycles. Also in cost of an adventure 390 I get a Himalayan, better foot pegs, switchable ABS, panniers, is highly customisable and I don't have to rev it all the time.

They did a run off between the KTM 390 Adventure and the Himalayan off road and they bough did very good but bough riders liked the KTM as more capable, I just got a KTM 390 Adventure and find the mirrors very good, and as for luggage I put the GIVI Trekker 33/ 46 hard bags on and can go bigger if I want, so no problem with luggage on the KTM I also got better hand guards for it and am waiting for the better bash plate, and also went with Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires which I find very good on pavement and gravel and dirt roads. Will try some single track when I get the better bash plate. So far have 3,500 + Km on it. and getting an average of 3.5 liter per 100 Km and as good as 3.2, and even taking it hard I get 3.8 but only had that once most of the time it is 3.5 or less, and that is checking at the gas station fill ups, and the bike is just about always the same as I get.
