Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Makes sense bro. I have set a personal deadline of 30th June for any news of REH test units. If no news by that date, will go ahead with dominar/duke 250/fz25.

Such lack of product planning from a 150 year old company doesn't look good.

I laughed out loud when the ceo mentioned bigger himalayan is coming.. Lol get the small one correct first.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

I went ahead and bought a FZ25, it was glorious experience paid the money in the morning got the bike next day registered. RE literally has some really messed up management.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Hello 🙏🏍 bikers iam Vivian D'Souza I worked for the company I personally believed there was no other bike for me then royal Enfield i owned 4 Enfields I know how it feels
I personally feel that the company is taking advantage of the brand image that it has created In The minds of buyers

I feel all Enfielders out der and the ones who are facing problem should let them know that boss it high time you do something about it .
I used to spend all my money on the royal Enfield for service and parts dealership take advantage of the feeling we have for the bike and bullies us
I and every Enfield like me who had put all his savings to get a royal Enfield wants an answer

Ride safe 🙏😊🏍

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Check this ..

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Contact Zana Motorcycles at the below details. The guys name is Vibhas and his contact number is 99531 12277. He has quite a few options for the Himalayan - saddle stays with detachable or non detachable saddle bag base as needed, engine and crash guards, extended carrier with a backrest for the pillion. I am using his saddle stays with detachable bases and it has a very sturdy built. I would recommend his stuff. He also ships pan India

The one on nh4 is way more expensive, I got mine from Zana at 1800 incl shipping. I live in gurgaon so delhi to gurgaon shipping will obviously be lesser. Yours may be a bit more but not 2,800 for sure (nh4 price)

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Thank you guys, i had already got his contact and had orders the stuff.. if possible i will post a picture ones i get it.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

90% of touring comes down to the rider and not the ride. There are many people who tour on ktm's , cbr's, pulsar's, Fz's etc.. and it's taken them to different terrains. I honestly do not see what is very special about the himalayan w.r.t touring.. (capacity to carry tons of luggage?)
And how many RE (be it a bullet, tb or himalayan) owners do you think 'tour' ? the percentage is negligible.. be it any brand, more so for RE that markets their bikes as cruisers/tourers.. most of the chums ride them around the city.
We Indian's (atleast the overwhelming majority) buy a bike that can do multiple things (right from grocery shopping to everyday commute to a rare tour) and this overwhelming majority use it almost only for daily commute.
RE as a company (and one that's been around ages) seems to be having poor engineering compared to the rest of the manufacturers. They are living off their 'bullet' image (and nostalgia), and will continue to do so for the next few years. The day the bullet goes out, the company will start to crumble.
Sad to see that desi companies aren't able to build a basic/reliable air cooled single 400cc motor! They need to borrow the tech from somewhere..

As a biker, I wish every bike is engineered/built to an acceptable standard and that manufacturers put in their 100% to deliver a good product and not just rely on marketing gimmicks to make a sale.
And of-course, a lot people complain about failures.. and some are outright due to owner negligence while some are manufacturing defects. but out here on the internet everyone trashes the brand/product even if it's their wrong doing/negligence.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

You said it brother. But wouldn't it be much more better if the Indian market offered us what exactly we wanted. I mean yes everyone can tour even on a passion or splendor, no issues on that. But it'll be more hassle free if we have a proper tourer with adequate comfort and all the other features which we have to tweak or adjust in other motorcycles in India. I believe every customer has his own needs and the Indian market should provide them with that. It's high time. And forget about RE. Either they are stubborn coz they have a huge turn over or they are still stuck in prehistoric era.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Again the reason for lack of purpose built bikes is due to the Indian market.. manufacturer's do not make a product just to satisfy a tiny bunch of people, to them sales is important and so they will sell what the majority wants and what makes them more money. Take example of Honda.. they are one of the companies that have a ton of engines/motorcycles in their portfolio across the world and wouldn't take them much engineering effort to bring some purpose built models into India.. but why do they stick to selling more scoots.. ?

See what happened to the impulse.. what happened to the continental gt.. they aren't just practical enough for most customers in India and hence poor sales/after sales service and eventually maybe taken off production.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Rightly said.
It is just a small set of market who needs a purpose built motorcycles. Others look at practicality and mileage and how comfortable it is for the better half and spares that cost less than a kg of tomatoes.
RE has done the needful and stopped the production and sales of the himalayan so that they can sell an upgraded version of the bike (hopefully without any issues).
I am not a RE fanboy or something but i do own an himalayan just because of the practicality for me as a tourer. It has just enough power and filled with magic torque. When i ride it, Mileage is something i do not bother about. I so far havent faced any issues as such complained by few and magnified and marketed by the non owners.
Honestly i think half of the people commenting about the bike does not even own a himalayan or know someone who has.
Every new motorcycle has had issues when it was initially launched may it be a ktm or a honda.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Fakira riders on youtube telling himalayan is going to get discontinued..! Kya bhaiya, chal kya raha hai bhaiya..! (irfan khan style)
