I've set my mind on the Himalayan. I'm moving up from a 180cc Apache BS4. And I feel that the vibration and heat on the Himmy is significantly less. My hand sometimes tingles after long rides on my Apache, especially if I'm holding the RPM between 4500-5500 ( I took it to multiple service centres and enquired, apparently the 180cc carburettor engine is just buzzy in general). The engine heats up quite a bit in traffic too.

Spot on ! I recently test rode rhe Himalayan 450,.Although I have the Adv 390, it was too tempting to not do so😂. God knows how showa managed to design such a pair of innately active front forks. Yes the seat is a Ballsquashky😂, me being light set and riding in my jeans which do not let me grip the tank well. The pillion footrests are too high set I felt. Like you rightly said the engines are very similar in character. Overall I am a happy owner of adv 390 mainly because of the seat, the light weight and rhe pillion comfort.For the mild trails and tours I take,19 inch wheels work just fine. Love both of your humourous banters😂

Good points as usual. The thing with on board display seems ridiculous. Why two screens have to be on at the same time. The integration of a display for navigation in the bike is to reduce the effort of our phones. But the display to be on always just puts the navigation on the dash a useless feature. The thing with plugging in the phone onboard while riding to compensate for the battery drain is just the way things are right now. Our phones have a huge display more information expert navigation so the cluster advertising as a good feature seems off😅

Detailed and entertaining comparison between both bikes. Carry on the detailed technical reviews regarding nuances of motorcycles. I would request Bigbear customs as a Yamaha fanboy for your inputs and suggestions for Yamaha to launch a 450cc single(for Indian budget consious mind) with very high performance (above 50 bhp and a lower compression ratio than 11.5 :1) with premium components. It should be in a streetfighter, adventure and sport genres. All expecting Yamaha to manufacture all their MT07, R7, Tenere 700, MT09,etc... to be manufactured in India atleast gradually. So that Indian public can get real taste of Yamaha without breaking the bank. Also hope Maruthi Suzuki to launch the 3 door Jimny in India atleast in limited numbers for each and every year. If everything is seen based on practicality alone we cannot enjoy good things. There should be options for our people.

Your reviews are to the point. I have a question - I have 2019 electra bs4(22000km), recently on a tour to east & north Sikkim realised that 2 19inch wheels (Michelin tyre) with spokes and carborator is not enough to go with a group modern bikes (like Ktm 390,int 650, meteor 350,Honda 200x). Bike doesn't go beyond 100/kmph, loses lots of power in the heights. Even Honda 200x works better than my bullet. I have one advantage -seat & old handle bar which was relaxing. I don't like my foot pegs ( they are very close need them to be far) & gearing/ gear box. I am On an extreme budget. Don't want to buy a new motorcycle. But if I have to buy what bike should I buy? Requirements -I am 6feet,have rib injury/muscle pain for 15years. Want a functional ride for myself,wife and a toddler. What modifications can be made to my existing bullet? Please help out.

Much needed content, and spot on! But one thing you specified and missed was TAPPET NOISE. Yes , it was too loud for the himi I rod for test ride, and not present in other himis I observed. So longevity of the engine was the concern for me. Again, your comment about exceptions - japanese ones was the moment I was waiting for...

@@bigbearbangalore yeah, REs and tappet noise have been friends for long. I used to go with my friend on his hunter to quarrel with SC guys. Inherently REs have that kinda noise, but what I mentioned about was bit severe case with himi test ride vehicle, may be initial lot issue. Will wait anyway.

This is too biased. 1. You just cannot justify the phone screen staying On for maps. What is the point of the display if I anyways have to keep my phone screen on? A simple wired andriod auto kind of solution would have been perfect. 2. Low end torque is actually missing. Don't justify by saying what it does after 3k rpm. Its not a sports bike. I need a good bottom end and meaty mid range. Its a adv tourer. It should be able to pull from standstill up an incline with a pillion and top box and pannier, without throttle and clutch modulation. The Vstorm 250 engine is a gem in that matter. The tiger 900 is better than 800 in those terms.

To the point. Fanboys don't understand these things. It's a 3.5 lakh plus bike been in testing for ages. No idea what they have been testing. For the fanboys: we know you are anyways going to buy one, so get a FuelX once it arrives to solve the low end torque issue. And hopefully wait for RE to update the software. But even then I have a strong feeling. With growing server costs RE will end up charging a subscription fee for the app in future like KTM does. With KTM we still have a global community of developers who come up with DIY workarounds and hacks. Good luck with RE though.

Test rode both the bikes. I am confused very much between Himalayan & adv 390 X. Himalayan: * more safe feel while riding because of ergos and higher wheelnase. * Looking too good& big bike feel. *suspension is super cool, and features also adequate. * you will get a connection with the bike instantly. *weight and size is little bit problem at least for some people * Higher wearing of parts due to higher weight. Also concerned about reliability and maintenance. Adv 390X: *Good ergos. But still, feels like a normal bike, not that much connected like himm. * Nimble bike, but in high speeds, Himalayan belt better. * Priced similar to himalayan, but features are less, bike felt little bit old school. * Engine is proven, not that much tension about maintenance. *Felt good for daily use also in comparison. Seat height was not a big issue on both (I am just 5'8").

I agree. Rider needs to bring the motorcycle to right gear and accelerate. I feel this automatically happens once you understand the machine. Having said that, the knocking sound in KTM when I test rode it is irritating( unless it is specific to the bike I rode)

I own a 390 ADV. The side by side image is definitely striking how much more ground clearance the 450 has. The 450 is also a very attractive bike. I am not a fan of the 390's parrot beak. I bought the 390 because of the huge value at the time. I believe 450 has closed the value gap. If I was chosing today it would be the 450, however the 2025 390 Adv looks to have best of both worlds.

Very true...buzz shouldn't be mistaken for Vibration.. in city conditions heat is a given. Rode them both back to back on same city stretch. Felt Himalayan tiring to ride in city as it's clutch is relatively harder but it was faster due to better initial torque, thus needed more shifting and breaking. Repeated over again, it was tiring. Also it felt ungainly big in city traffic. Found KTM needed less work as it stayed slotted in lower gears. Also felt KTM was more sedate and lighter thus safer in city's thick traffic conditions.
