In the long run, I say BMW is the most effective one. Being a RE owner, it’s one hell of a job to keep the bike going smooth all the time. Every month it’ll have one or the other issue. BMW for the ones who care about peace of mind, himalayan for the ones who love to take tension and risk, ktm 250 is for the one who has no brain.
NIKHIL S KUMAR Sagar Sheldekar has already reported that there are no reliability issues on his BS6 Himalayan Long term bike. So there goes your BS claim. Its about time you RE haters came up with some new material apart from reliability and vibrations which are a thing of the past now.
I'm starting to realise that powerdrift info,drama and value is going down after watching zigwheels take on the same thing PD does not give much info or its losing its charm It used to be awesome during Sagar's time
The audi advertisement is really good... but i was annoyed by the bike review in between !!! Why are you placing so many ads in middle of a car advertisement ha zigwheels ????😂😂😂😂😂
This is by far the best review I have seen in a while. Content is really good and has useful information. Video quality is really good as well as music choice. The audio or voice recording is good but it could improve. Microphone abounds muffled sometimes. No biggie. The chemistry you guys have is awesome. It feels like you are hanging out with friends taking about vehicles. You guys have a future in tv together.
Xpulse 200 would be perfect choice, its rugged, reliable & very cheap to maintain plus we'll get hero service center in every corner of country. Himalayan is good but it needs to loose weight, 199kg with just 24ps/32nm.
I’m in the market as a beginner for each of these 3 bike. Your guys are awesome and really put things in perspective without having a bias. Great job guys!
Not sure about the other 2 but the Himalayan definitely has a lot of credentials around most gruelling terrains around the world. Globally certified to do the job with little fuss.
1)Which is more refined at crusing speed of 80 to 110 ? 2) which is more comfortable for 500 km a day 3) long term maintenance cost EXPERT ADVICE needed I want to book in this week 🙏.
I'm still confused between Himalayan and BMW, I'm going to do mostly touring and minimal off-road. While bmw seems the obvious choice as it's best for touring, I'm a little sceptical over its high price and high maintenance cost.what should I choose?
I'm a ktm fanboy but they definitely screwed the pooch on this one, the price is not justified at all 😂 They could have Atleast thrown in the quickshifter if nothing else
Good stuff. And humorous! :) 1) This video covers offroading, or as Mr Singhi says in another video, rough roading, for 99% of the populationI In that sense, the BMW does provide a more premium riding experience. Also, the updated colors and reduced price have made it even better. 2) Surprising to see that the problems in the earlier Himalayans have been overcome and its as smooth (if not more) at 100 kmph! I would rather save the 80K premium, and spend ~50K on world class touring accessories for the Himalayan, and the remaining on petrol to tour India. 3) Also, if the future holds a Himalayan on the 650 cc parallel twin platform, it would decimate them all!
@@SirKart Thanks for your response, I really luv the way you guys make the reviews interesting by mixing in the fun elements..so all I'd say to you and the entire team, is keep up the good work guys👍✌️
So should i buy the 250adv or not??😵 can we adjust it to smooth setting?

Great video guys. Finally something more creative for adv and dirt bikes.

Nowadays Royal Enfield is more sensible to buy that KTM, RE is making reliable engine for some time now, service centers all over country , easy availability of parts, Lesser price Tag comparing to other companies. RE Bullys doesn't have a topic nowadays.
Nice video and i own Himalayan BS4, i would like to drive the other 2 as well. Instrument cluster sucks big time as i see many Himalayan user complain of fogging and sweating including me.
Look at the power output, 24bhp is less than Pulsar 200NS or Duke 200. It's the least powerful bike of the lot. It's nowhere comparable to the 390 Duke or Dominar.
One more thing to add please change your current home near by re showroom... Because we can't predict which time your bike would have problem s, starting issue reported many pre owners . Re service is bull shit... This re him is best no doubt but expect thire service.
