Hi Guys,

i have been riding a yamaha r15 for last 5 years, it has served me well and still does. However i got married last year and am looking for a good comfortable bike for touring with a pillion. my requirements are as below.

extremely comfortable for long touring for rider and pillion.

able to cruise between 80 to 100km/hr.

budget around 2.5 lakhs

should be fun to ride.


bikes considered : re himalayan and mahindra mojo. test rode both the bikes.

mahindra mojo:

i really liked this very responsive engine, seats are comfortable, feels powerful and sounds nice. love those pirelli tyres but wifey says the rear seats are small to her liking.....

re himalayan:

i did not like the engine it is not as nice as mojo. seats are comfortable for both rider and pillion.


in short i prefer the mojo but wifey prefers the himalayan, after riding the r15 for so many years, i prefer very refined engines that is the reason i am more inclined towards mojo. Also i plan to add led lamps, back rest to the bike customize it a bit for touring so that i can do a goa ride with wife.

i use my bikes with utmost care and use them for long time, please help me out with the decision guys.
