Himalayan 450 Pros & Cons	KX65 Pros & Cons	Adventure Pros & Cons

The new Sherpa 450 engine offers more power and torque . It is always ready to be pushed more . The engine is so refined and offers a good performance . New switchgear is easy to operate and offers better ergonomics.		Reduced vibrations, less clutch effort Excellent pricing, sufficient features on offer Excellent performance for a sub 350cc engine Very capable off the road
Cons	The seat is adjustable but short riders might find it a bit uncomfortable. The spokes wheel with tube tires is prone to getting punctured . It is not a practical daily commuter for city runs. The braking could’ve been better.		Though reduced, stalling issues remain at low revs Engine becomes very hot for a small-capacity unit Main stand & tank brace not part of ex-showroom price

  We bought the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 for our daily needs, and it turned out to be a truly memorable experience. It was my first scooter, and getting it from here made it even more special. Every staff member was extremely polite and very helpful throughout the process.
