Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Why don't you pay through a credit card and make the card payment online. This way you will accumulate some points on the card as well.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

By payment if you're talking about an advance, you're safe.

But if any RE dealer is asking for full upfront payment and promising you a shorter delivery period, be cautious.

Quite many of the Himalayan deliveries are facing bottle necks because of the break in the supply from RE that had happened.

Better double check on this part with your dealer and get a firm commitment.

As regards your query about bank transfers for payments, here's the quick summary of the same:

RTGS means real time gross settlement:

* The minimum amount that can be sent is Rs. Two Lakhs

* There is no maximum limit

* This is a real time transfer and it means that the remittance is made immediately by the bank

* Once the remittance is confirmed and submitted at the originating branch, the amount is credited to the beneficiary’s account instantaneously at the receiving branch

* Charges start on higher side due to minimum limit

NEFT means national electronic funds transfer:

* There is no limit on the minimum amount that can be sent through this facility

* There is no limit on the maximum amount that can be sent through this facility

* The remittance is made in batches

* The first batch starts at 8.00 A.M. and the last batch is upto 7.00 P.M.

* There is a gap between one batch to another batch is 30 minutes

* As such the receiver has to wait sometimes upto half an hour or one hour in order to get his credit

Hope this helps and here's to a smooth purchase experience with your new Himalayan!

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Thanks a lot for the information. Did the payment by NEFT.

No the dealer did not promise shorter delivery period if I make the full payment. It was my choice.1

The snow variant is still in production and as per the store it will take another month for the delivery.

I settled for Granite finally. They promised delivery by October 4 (10 days after the payment excluding holidays).

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Good to hear that! Hoping to hear back from you with your ride experiences soon. Cheers!

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Came across this review of the BS4 REH on YouTube last night and I gave the uploader a like and a positive comment. The location, the edit, the classic rock playing in the background (a tad loud though)... now, this is the right combo for a review on this motorcycle!

No doubt he's not a pro and he should've done the off-roading capabilities in a little more detail but overall, he sure got the feel just right..Take a look:

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

I am not that worried for the offroad part. I am looking out for a bike that has good suspension to handle bad city as well as highway roads, especially those speed breakers and rumbler strips. People who live in Pune know what I am trying to say, where they have speed breakers at every nook and corner. Planning to buy a bike next year and Himalayan fits my requirements completely.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

I agree with your take on the off-roading part. The majority of our time riding will realistically be on tar roads - the good ones, the bad ones and the ones we wonder why they even call a road. Yes, the Himalayan (to give credit where it’s due, the Mojo too) handle this part quite admirably. And if you’re looking at a purchase next year, do keep yourself posted about the ABS version roll out, since the government has given a deadline as 2018 for this safety feature to be mandatorily included.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

~70 Days of wait is over.
I will be getting "Himalayan" on 27th Sept 2017. Very much Excited and Can't wait to feel the beast between my legs :-P

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Hello everyone.
So the insurance guys called me on Friday to verify details. I think I can get call to collect my bike anytime now. Can anyone tell me things I should be careful about at the time of delivery?
Thanks.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan


All the very best !!! happy riding
Snow white or Granite Black?

70 days? You're lucky. I waited almost 7 months

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Granite Bro [MENTION=45124]KennyKL01[/MENTION].

Ooh... I’m quite lucky to get early [emoji16][emoji4]

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Congrats.. pls refer to the PDI check list in my signature.. should help during delivery

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Finally got it today after a long wait.
It's my first bike so I noticed following
1. Ride is very smooth
2. Having little problem in shifting gears. But I guess that will improve with time.
3. Real feel was after 40kmph. I mean I enjoyed when it crossed 40kmph. Did not drive for long(rain rain go away).

The guy at RE told me to go for premium petrol. Do I need to? I don't have any problem though.
I was expecting mileage between 25-30. However, the RE guy told me it will be between 18-20kmpl
Got helmet. But I am planning to get an LS2 after sometime.

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan

Congratulations!
The gear shifting should improve after first service. It is not necessary to use premium petrol, I have a BS3 one and have never used premium petrol ever. Mileage should be lot more than 20. I get around 30 in city and 35 on Highway (if I don't rip it)

By the by, the pics are amazing!

Cheers!
