HIMALAYAN 450 vs SCRAMBLER 400X - Which one to buy?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มี.ค. 2024
- Hello,
Finally, we've put together our thoughts on one of the most debated topics on mid-size motorcycles; Which one to buy? The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 or the Triumph Scrambler 400X.
Having used both for a total of approximately 10,000 kms, we believe that we have adequate information on these two motorcycles to be able to share our definitive thoughts on which could the right one for you.
Hope you find the information useful and helpful.
Best wishes.

Two uncles on a weekend ride, talking bikes with mountains in the background. Perfect!!
🙏
😂
Uncles ? These are young lads. Can still beat us in heavy heat 450 kms
uncles like u and me that sit in home watch riding videos and comment, these are riders on a weekend ride, talking bikes with mountains in the background.

I Upgraded to Scrambler 400x from Activa 110, just learned motorcycle on my friends Honda Unicorn for 30 to 40kms and realised i was missing the fun of motorcycling, then after a month i took test ride Scrambler 400x, I felt it was this easy to ride this Big motorcycle and then i booked it and got delivered within a week thanks to Surat Showroom. Just clocked 3600Kms on scrambler 400x, it has each and every level of torque, power kick in at the righ time.i never felt I'm missing low end, mid end or high end torque After software update it become really smoother & company is recalling scrambler 400x for replacing front brake lever so after that even the less confidence on the front brake was also gone. Just loving this beast i highly surprised how easily i got used to this motorcycle. Taken her to ooty last week on turns and corners it works like a charm. I'm in love with this motorcycle and enjoying the motorcyling.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Best wishes.
I am using an activa too and this comment proved to be really insightful.
Hi! Fellow Surati here! Big bold step to directly jump onto a 400cc bike with no prior knowledge. 999 out of 1000 people will strictly advise against it but anyway, congratulations! I will be getting the Himalayan pretty soon once the tubeless arrives.
@@vardanrathi7777 that's why I'm learning things about motorcycle day by day, and enjoying it. see you soon in Surat.
450 replacing the vstrom is a huge compliment to the bike and it's ability. WOW!!
As always a level headed approach to the discussion.
Yes and will post a video on why am considering the switch. Many thanks for watching.
@@bigbearbangalore I will watch that video!
Thats what the Honda simps are worried of himalayan 450 taking out their big margin profit honda bikes, hence severly attacking the bike by nitpicking silly reasons like weight while putting stand and all.
Yeah, that's very big appreciation to Himaliyan, looking forward to detailed video on this.
Mid-life returning motorcyclist here Bosky. It was the triumph for me. I got an ear to ear grin when I test rode it. Most of my planned riding is going to be up in the himalayas with very little highway touring. I just knew it'll be more fund to ride on the twisties. And I wasn't disappointed on my first ride through Himachal and Uttarakhand. The bike lived up to its promise. To me, the triump is more of a successor to the 411 than the 450 is. Not putting down the Himmy here at all. Every rider connects to their machine differently. I just happened to connect with the Triumph over the Himmy. Just like I connect with the Interceptor above all else in the RE stable.
There is no better content to watch on motorcycles other than you two gents talking about bikes. and man, that location is amazing. Now, I live up north, and to make it to Coorg on a bike, I might need a Himmy...haha.
Many thanks. Wishing you many more great trips.
i am loving my new himalayan 450. Its my first bike.
*hi5* bro
Same here
Congrats
Nice one! As a new rider how were your first rides? How did you feel about the weight of the bike to begin with? Thank you.
@@jonathanwallis6854just a tip don't let other's opinion bias you. Test ride the bike yourself if possible. Everyone has a different height weight strength and experience. I felt so easy with Himalayan not necessarily you will feel the same too so test ride and let the bike speak to you
I just love how you guys do reviews just with plain simple language and talk about issues users face. Keep it simple like this always
Thank you! Will do!
Love your videos! This is the exact scenario I am in and you were spot on with the answer for my situation. My Xpulse is undergoing a piston replacement after it broke down on a recent 3000km journey. So I test rode the Triumph, RE and the KTM. 400x felt to me like a beefed up Xpulse with its torque, seat height (rally seat, stock suspension), and rider's triangle. I instantly fell in love with it.
👍 thanks for sharing
Recently completed motorcycle ride of Sikkim with my wife on Himmy 411. Flew to Bagdogra, then picked up the rental bike from Siliguri, then onwards to Darjeeling, Pelling, Gangtok, one day local sightseeing in Gangtok & took permit for North Sikkim via agent, rode to Lachung & back. Got to see the destruction caused to Chungthang dam which was completely washed away during monsoon/flashfloods. Couldn't go the Nathula/Lachen/Yumthang valley as the roads were blocked. Needless to say it was cold as hell. Had fun nonetheless! I was planning to buy one of 2 but now mystery has intensified even more 😢
Well done on the trip. The 450 and the 400 will be available for rent too. Check them out to know more.
That sounds like an incredible journey you had! I'm planning a similar trip and would love to know where you rented the Himmy 411 from in Siliguri. Any tips or recommendations for the rental process would be greatly appreciated!

Hellooo and Namaskara. Thank you Boski and CK, love all your shorts and reviews, big fan, love the background and the HELLOS. One of the few channels and journos that is jolly with less anxiety. Been riding for 15+ years. I totally second and resonate both of you on the mid-segment bikes.
🙌
Got my Himalayan 450 last week.. enjoying it.. will plan a long ride after the first service
Congrats
I did the first service within 48 hours of taking delivery .
So I could go for a ride with my Club
Thanks Bosky and CK for this..
Has been in the pipeline for over a month now.

Love the friendship, love the content, love the simplicity due to your video, some sort of recommendation and two test ride and having fun with it, i am taking delivery of Scrambler 400x tomorrow.
Thanks.
Congrats!
Yesterday i commented on your previous video. Today i got notification for this video🤩🤩
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@bigbearbangalore yes sir thank you for clearing the confusion out.
props to the cameraman for holding the shot for 20+ mins 😮
Cheers to him!
Am really really waiting so long for this video to come.as I am also confused in these 2 motorcycles. Thank you so much to clarify my view on both bikes.
And also two major and important points in mid range bike segment. Heat and vibs.
Very informative and useful video.
Thank you once again.
Most welcome 😊
Absolutely love your videos. Especially this in depth comparison between the Himalayan and 400X That location and the camera you're using is fantastic. I'm impatiently waiting for deliveries of the Himalayan to the UK as it's my initial choice, but of course you have to consider the options. That's why i value your expert and in depth opinions. You have my respect and admiration sir. Keep those video's coming. Love India. It's on my bucket list to ride there. Must get a move on as I'm nearly 76 😂
Thank you for your kind words. 🙏 Best wishes on your H450. Cheers!
I started my motorbike life in 1975 with a Honda 50cc and had all kinds of Honda motorcycles till about 10 years ago when i stopped riding.
@ the end of this month i'm going for a test ride on the Himalayan 450 and if i like it i'm going to be riding again @ my 65.
Your video's are always nice to follow and give much information and inspiration for all.
Best wishes.
These guys give the best, crisp and clear review then any one else!
🙏
Getting my Himalayan this Thursday, excited to start touring again
Congrats
This channel is just pure bliss to watch. Just keep talking ❤
🙏
Nicest comparison, Dhanyavadagalu
🙏
Thank you for Bosky and CK for yet another video that surpasses all the BS 1,2,3,4,5,6 and gets straight to the point based on logic, facts, and experience. Please keep this content coming.
Couple of thoughts I had when watching this.
- The Scrambler 400X target group is interesting because it appeals to riders coming from lower capacity bikes. But it also appeals to those who have bigger bikes in their stables and are looking for a second bike that they can be used more carefree, especially when exploring B and C roads and trails. In that sense, is the availability of parts better for the mid-capacity motorcycles as compared to their higher capacity cousins?
- To the point you made after sitting down, I think it was much needed. I have never understood what reviewers mean when they talk about vibrations and buzziness. Probably because my first motorcycle was the old RE cast-iron 350 with the gears on the right and I did a fair share of riding with that workhorse. Over time, I’ve accepted vibrations and buzziness as part of a motorcycle’s personality and without it, I feel something is missing. I obviously haven’t had the privilege of experiencing extremely refined motorcycles and that limits my understanding of how a motorcycle has no buzz or vibrations when being ridden in its power band.
Yes the 400X appeals to some of those who have bigger motorcycles. I have a V-Strom 650 and the 400X is a second motorcycle for having a little more fun on some tricky roads. The weight, cost and the ease of repair is the main attraction.
And since I have had the opportunity of experiencing bigger motorcycles, the heat and buzz of mid size don't bother me.
Great video as always. I'm one of those 2/10 folks who jumped to a mid-segment bike to 'expand' the horizon in future.. and thoroughly enjoying :)
Quick question - between the RE accesory touring windshield and ProSpec Easyride - which one does the job better?
Thanks.
We'll compare and update.
Id like to appreciate the cameraman and his efforts 👍🏻👍🏻. Subtle things gave me a feeling like i was the third guy standing with you guys with the discussion 👌🏻
Love your content guys.
🙏👍
This is what exactly one gets to know before buying any motorcycle. Like the way you two explain. 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
The Himalayan is definitely the better and more complete package here. This is for touring and off-road use. I would use it for commuting too. I agree with your points and I land in the 450 camp.
👍
Actually the opposite is the truth, people who buy either as a single bike, the Scrambler makes more sense as one would be spending a lot of time in commuting vs touring, not even talking about off-roading as that would be something 99.99% of people will never do, mainly cos we literally have roads everywhere. . .
@@radarroi27 If I had to have only one bike that does everything, it would be even more important for me not to compromise which the Scrambler 400X seems to be. I would want to buy a bike that can perform the widest variety of tasks. The Himalayan fits that requirement. It can commute, take to the highway and tackle bad roads and rough trails better with its 21" front rim and superior suspension. The Scrambler is not the better choice if you want to venture off road. I have two Dukes so I know how far 150 mm of suspension travel can take you. But yes, if you don't intend to go off road or you just do light trails then the Scrambler is a better. I know it's not an upgrade for me.
@@twowheeledparadox just curious as to where exactly do all of you take your bikes to hardcore off roading? Trails, bad roads, yes I know a lot and ride then, but hardcore off roads? Anyways, if your main priority is, say 70%-80% touring including trails with just 20%-30% commuting, then yes, the Himalayan is the perfect choice n the reverse is true for the Scrambler. . .
@@radarroi27 A trail does not have to be hardcore to max out a bike's suspension. There is a trail not far from where I live. It branches off the Faridabad-Gurgaon road. It has some ruts and some rocks embedded in it but on my mildly modified 200 Duke (in my profile pic) I can reach 50 kmph until I reach a bump or a rut that bottoms out the front suspension really hard. On the same patches, my friend with the old Himalayan had no issues. Those with modified Xpulse 200s hit 70 kmph on that trail but I am not a hardcore off-roader. For reference, you can check out Abhinav Bhatt's videos. I have ridden my Duke on some of the trails on which he rode his modified Himalayan 450. High speeds are possible only on straight stretches. On those trails, the Scrambler won't give me much of an advantage over my Duke. The Himalayan will.
I tour maybe once every 2-3 months. That alone is enough to warrant a touring-bias in my motorcycle. Points to the Himalayan again for my usage.
I commute almost daily on my Interceptor. Its engine provides excellent midrange torque which is what is most used while commuting. Whichever bike has that will commute well.
I was waiting for this video for so long and the shubha munjane at the end was ❤
🙏
Keep making simple talking reviews/comparisons like this. Much better than channels that talk specs only.
Thanks, will do!
Got my himalayan yesterday, eager to explore it now
Congrats!
I'm not a regular rider, but the Scrambler 400x marks my debut with a 150cc plus bike, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the experience.
👍
I was very happy when you purchased the same .. It was like validation of my decision.
How a buzzy RE can replace a butter smooth Suzuki. This is a twist like in Abbas Mastaan's movies 😅. Eagerly awaited.
🙌😃
Feels peaceful listening to you guys.
🙏
Great break up and definitely caused less confusion. On a separate note, what mirrors did you put on the Scrambler 400x?
Thanks. RAM Mirrors
This is a much appreciated video. I agree. It truly comes down to personal preference. I chose the Scrambler 400X.
If I later want a touring bike I would add the Tiger to my garage.
I hope to one day ride in your beautiful country.
Thanks for sharing! 👍
Thanks for sharing this video. I am an ardent fan of your's ans been following you since your Muddyhog day's. Sir need your advise on tubules conversion kit for H450. I need your honest opinion about it. I recently had a puncher on my H450 and had troubles in getting it fixed in terms of getting punchure fixed and getting tube for rear wheel . Hence asking your advise on this. Please do make some time and share your wisdom on whether it is safe to do tubless conversion for existing spoke wheel for H450. If you have any source of information about when RE may launch H450 tubeless RIMS.
Have no new info on the rims. Am waiting too.
I was blown away by the background sounds of those birds, now i wanna visit coorg

Super nice location, gentlemen. Decorated by two good bikes and two good bikers.

Many thanks. Glad you enjoyed enjoyed watching.
Hi, can you please share whether the extended windscreen is from RE or some other brand? And how is it performing? I was looking at the one provided by carbon racing for H450 but I'm confused. Any advice is appreciated.
P.S. Always look forward to your videos and love them.
This is from RE
Thanks for the quick response. Would you advice the RE one? Or the carbon racing one, in case you happen to have any idea about it?
I was also in dilemma but finally just booked the Himalayan solely because of how good i felt the suspension was
👍
Excellent review, presentation and location...
Thank you very much!
amazing video
i dont have a bike but i do commute on my jupiter 125 but love to watch your bike videos🥰🥰🥰
Thanks ✌️
How was the experience with the RE adventure screen . Does it do a good job on highways with helmet buffeting and body wind protection ? Or is an extender needed with speeds 110 120 kmph? Thanks!
Far better than stock.
Wonderful review on much awaited comparison with amazing background 👏
I think not much of the people have spoken about in depth heat management either in Triumph Speed400/Scrambler 400X or Himalayan 452, in Triumph heat comes directly perpendicular from the radiator without impacting the rider' legs/thighs whereas in Himalayan 452 it will directly hit on the right thighs which is a concern in slow moving or high intensity traffic. RE could have done better heating management atleast similar to Triumph's.
I have booked Himalayan 452 last year and the bike is yet to be delivered, not sure if RE can do any rework on better heating management.
Thanks.
Managing the heat is a personal capability and sensitivity. No right or wrong or weak or strong iasue. Just a personal :preference" I would say for lack of a better word. I found the H450 heat more manageable than the 400X.
Thanks for clearing the biggest doubt in my self weather to select the HIMALAYAN 450 vs SCRAMBLER 400X your precious knowledge and experience was a big deal breaker to me to finalize which motorcycle I should go with.. And once again I thank you Both
Happy to help. Thanks.
My beloved Father's API MAC 175 Lambretta was my first two-wheeler experience, followed by the Bajaj Priya, Bajaj Super, LML Vespa, Yamaha RX 100, the LML Beamer and the fantastic Honda Unicorn was followed by a BS3 RE Thunderbird 500 which I am still riding and enjoying. But time is nearing that I move on to something else. I love the new RE Himalayan 450 but I do not think I will be using it for long-duration tours much. The Triumph Scrambler seems to be a perfect one for commuting as well as for easygoing week-end tours. The tubeless tyres are a great attraction for me, my days of pushing around deflated two-wheelers are over. Thanks for your thoughts on these two stellar motorcycles
Many thanks for sharing your story. Cheers!
Hi Bosky, Your presentation and descriptions are exceptional and thanks for all your blogs. One question on tubeless tires. Do you also perform a conversion of tube rims into tubeless at your garage ? In general how much it would cost to make such a change ? I am planning to buy Himalayan 452 in near future and currently waiting for tubeless version from RE. Appreciate your opinion.
Thanks.
We don't do the conversion. We too are waiting for the tubeless wheels.
Brilliant content & a beautiful location
Glad you enjoyed it
The way we travel changes by damping higher decibels through the ears. No noise ear plugs are amazing.
Good to know!
Hi Boski ….. loved your video….. I had one personal question ? What will be the perfect bike for you out of all bikes there in this segment if the primary need is 60 to 70% city rides or daily commuting and occasional touring on weekends ? What would you have choosen particularly for that purpose ?
H450 would be my choice. I can commute and also travel far on it in good comfort and with ease.
Love the video. Can you please make another video on fuel x pro plus?
Have made a few Insta reels and TH-cam Shorts on the FuelX.
I've bought Cb300r last month after comparing all these and I am happy ❤️
Congrats
You both guys are just awesome and natural while chatting.. it's as good as 2 BFF are talking about their exp (while giving knowledge ultimately)
While you were talking about Honda, would you please review Honda 500NX and add that to this kind of episode maye be
Would be great to watch it

Thanks. Will review the Honda when possible.

🙌🙌🙌
@bigbearbangalore
Thanks for your videos. I heard Triumph is now offering customized tank colors, is it so? I m planning to have one.
And pls pls share the place where you are reviewing..it looks calming nd so beautiful.
Am not aware of this. I'll check.
Very pleased to have discovered your amazing comparison video, which demonstrates true depth from experience. I've been riding a Bullet 500, a hefty, bulky motorcycle, since 2013 and wanted something comparable. I will bypass the Scarmbler in favor of the Himalayan because touring is what I intend to do with my next motorcycle. The comparision would be skwed towards Triumph if it brings a Tiger 400x with Bajaj. I strongly believe they should have brought in a Tiger 400x instead of the scrambler as Sramblers are not that popular in India.
Thanks. Yes the 400 Tiger would be one great machine. Hope it does show up.
I completely agree with using the earplugs. It is an absolute game changer while touring. Cuts fatigue greatly on longer rides.
👍
Hi bro are you using it , can you explain bit more about it ??
Yes please suggest or give link for good earplugs . I am searching for one but not able to trace. BTW your reviews are direct from heart in a no nonsense manner. Kudos to you both.
Alpine or No Noise brands are good. I have no link. Search online.
I think both motorcycles are fantastic and cost almost the same in Austria. But I would prefer the RE, better wind protection, navigation on the display and the better seating position on longer journeys. Plus the design, many scramblers have the design of the Triumph but the Himalayan looks so wonderfully different to all the other adventure bikes.
Agree! 👍
I somehow LOVE the look of Scrambler more than the Himalayan but there is RE service centre even in Kaza 😂
👍
That service centre was major selling point for me too 🔥😁
@@kris.sahotra yeah, I had to get my Himalayan chain tightened and handlebar straightened after a fall at RE SC in Kaza. But the guy was helping other bike owners also.
Great video guys once again !! Can you please tell us the location of this setting ? I may have missed it in the video if you have mentioned there .
Thanks. Mukkodlu.
Even if the 2 bikes are not meant to be compared but Indian riders end up doing so because most riders come from middle class families and its not possible for them to maintain 2 different bikes for different purposes and scenarios. Most try to go for one single bike that falls within their budget while managing to cover most of their requirements with that one bike. Sometimes they end up comparing bikes from 2 different categories to understand which one will fulfill their purposes the most. The comparison is not always about "Market and Media" instigating misplaced comparisons.
Kudos to the answer at the end of this particular topic, "I think it is the buyer's pocket that is causing the confusion". No truer words have been spoken.
🙏
No other video can ever match the usefulness of this one. Especially the conclusion
🙏
Ending is a MUST watch 👌❤

Great video sir i have exactly the same thoughts about Scrambler 400x & Himalayan 452. I own the Scrambler 400x motorcycle.
My question is can you suggest me good riser for handlebar I have my eye on carbon racing and zana offset pullback risers but when I asked triumph service centre guys they told me that there is misalignment of bolt issue with them one of the bolt out of 4 doesn't fit well. Instead they told me to go for the straight block risers.
So I just want to know your thoughts cause there are very few options right now for scrambler 400x the above 2 are the only brands I know that are providing risers for scrambler 400x.
Please share your thoughts on this and are you going to install risers for your scrambler 400x?
Hi. I would not suggest risers for the 400X. It's already a nice high Scrambler bar. But it's your personal preference. Just ensure that the control cables reach without stretching.
Booked Himalayan 450 its going to be my first bike❤
Congrats
What a beautiful scenery! 😍
We agree!
Thanks a lot Sir ,to both of you for this video , your guidance has helped me to conclude on Himaliyan. Also i believe RE is lessor expensive wrt maintenance,servicing and Mechanic availability across any corners of Bharat. Your opinion with experience matters a lot and helps to conclude. Keep Guiding ......Thanks Again .😊
All the best. Thanks.
Am one of those who are stepping down from a bigger adventure bike to be more precise an f800gs, I sat on the 400x at a local dealership here in the states yesterday, and it did look like a regular size bike, but seeing it in this video next to the Himalayan, it makes me think that the Himalayan may be as bulky as my f800gs anyway this is a very good comparison video, thanks for sharing
Check it out when it's available.
Spot on with the ear plugs, it's quite surprising how it changes the ride.
👍
I saw you guys on Friday late afternoon while returning from Kukke. I was sure it could be you because I rarely see a red colour x440 on highways!
🙌
With such a scenic greenwry in the backdrop. The Silence of Nature and cool breeze is what needs to bw enjoyed more than the bikes

Hey guys this is the first time i am looking your channel. And baskie what you have said about the earplug is very much true.
🙏👍
@@bigbearbangalore and give me a update 0f x440 scrambler still is it being introduced or already. Give my regards to C.K. (i am sorry if i mispronounced his name)
I have test rides both. Practically Scramblers are much easy to ride in city traffic and it’s easy to flick around and on high ways and trails it does it job. It’s more fun to ride scrambler every time. ❤
Thanks for sharing
I test drove both the bikes just 2 days back and reached the same conclusion as you said.
Himalayan is more intimidating at first but the way that engine pulls the suspension feels the relaxed sitting posture the comfortable seat it just add up nicely. Left me with a big smile and at the end of test drive. (RE purist might not like the engine but to me coming from 160cc suzuki I enjoyed the fast revving nature, dont like thumpers in general)
The same didnt happen to me when i test drove scrambler later in the day. Its a good bike for the price infact better at finishing than Himalayan but it didnt speak to me like how himalayan did. And the bike indeed feels small (for a 6 footer)
My priority was comfortable touring anyway so naturally inclined towards Himalayan. Hoping to be an owner soon.
And big thanks to all your videos ❤, these conversations between you helped me paint a clearer picture about the 400cc segment.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm loving the scenery more than these 2 lovely bikes. What a spot to make a bike comparison❤
Glad you like them!
love your videos, can you suggest some off-roading tutors in and around banglore?
@bigrockdirtpark
Ha ha ha .. Thanks for the added confusion! its an obvious choice for me like the scrambler ..... but you guys made my choice very clear...Thank you for that...Dear Bears of bangalore!!!
Our pleasure!
Hi. I have a eye on the Himalayan but I’m keeping myself away from the initial batches just to be on the safer side. I heard someone talking about the valve clearance check on every 10k . Is that the case ?
10k, 20k, 40k, 60k which is standard on most engines.
Bosky sir, I am riding him 450 and have done just 200 kms, I m trying to stick to the running in as mentioned in Manual, but due to Mumbai traffic there is lot of wrong shifting and sometimes lugging. Should I be worried or it's ok. I also find a loud noise in gearbox while shifting in 4th gear . How do I improve this??
Don't worry.the gearbox is tough enough to handle missed shifts. Enjoy the ride ans get better at managing the machine.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you sir 😊
Nice video ❤
Totally different shoot

Great analysis as always. I have a Desert Storm. Wanna change over to Scrambler 400x. I would be riding mainly in city (90%) and occasional highway (10%). Any suggestions for me.
400X would be good. If you plan to tour, then H450.

I have test rode both of this and some how i feel more confident on Himalayan over scrambler scrambler is more punchy and its hard for me to ride in traffic with those power jerks on other hand Himalayan is calm at low end which i felt more comfortable
👍
I am practicing on weekends on my scrambler 400X and I am trying not to drop it while stopping. I have dropped it 6 times already. Before this bike, I owned Avenger but this was like 10 years ago. All this while I was on my Ather all the time. I realised my basics of riding was all wrong. Now is the time I am correcting them. Really hoping to start enjoying my new bike.😊
Skill up and enjoy the ride! Best wishes. 👌
Great😅
Update: I switched to my friend’s 125 Cc and have practiced 100 slow speed uturns…! Wow, it is fun. My fear of leaning and dropping the bike has reduced immensely. Still struggling a lill bit with stop and shaprt turn right..! I will get there in 2 months. Scrambler here I come..! 😊

Hi Baski.......thanks for the unbiased comparison ...........interested in learning adventure riding (though im riding Honda Activa presently) , plz suggest which school provides adventure riding training near Bangalore. Thanks in advance.

Where did you replace the rear view mirrors on Scrambler 400x ? I have a scrambler and I don't find the stock mirrors so useful.
Those are RAM Tough Mirrors from Happy Earth Mounts Bangalore
HI Sir, is the current windshield installed on Himalayan 450 enough to completely avoid wind on the face at 100-120 speeds? I see many are purchasing wind shields from Carbon Racing...I prefer RE's original accessory. suggests me I am 5'11.
Nt at all bro. Till 90 - 100 max.
I prefer OEM accessory. Morning can completely eliminate the wind. Can only deflect and mininise.
Another 8 weeks before my Himalayan gets to uk but I doubt the heat will be so much of a problem here, following on from 5 R1200 bmw boxer engine bikes, either oil/air cooled or the later watercooled never gave high temperature to my legs.
There is heat but not unbearable and commuting is something I no longer need to concern myself with.
Current R1200RS will be a good comparison in the garage and deciding which to ride on different terrain or becomes my favorite is something to contemplate this summer.

I like the mirrors on the scrambler, can you suggest similar for 310gs?
