Adventure 390 (350cc) over himalayan ?
Hey so I'm a college student currently pursuing MBBS in a govt college, I was in search of a bike that met my requirements, and since my towering height of 6.4 feet with a bulk build it was very hard for me to search up bikes ultimately my eyes fell upon the adventure and scrambler section and I narrowed down to the following list
Himalyan 450
Adventure 390(350) ebony black
Triumph scrambler 400x
rtx 300
Yezdi adventure (💀 yes yezdi)
My budget was around 4 lakhs
And mostly I would ride it to college and being from northeast I would travel to mountains valleys for rides
I would be riding mostly sole with fellow sole riders
So pillion comfort is a not a topic for me
At first I thought of himalyan 450 I rode it, it was a beast but I found the bike a bit shorter and riding position uncomfortable for my height and also difficult in traffic maneuver but that bike was hell a lot of road presence and I could the royalness straight, ofcourse it was a beast it was my dream bike from many years
But the next day my father took me to this ktm showroom where I saw this adventure 390 I took a seat and I instantly realised due to the high handle bars that riding position was much comfortable for me and during the test ride the easy pick-up and easy maneuver was an add on along with the cruise control riding modes quick shifter were working flawlessly plus it was a available at a less price and with tubeless tires which none were in the himalyan on the down side the seat wasn't so much comfortable and it was around 100 cc less than the himalyan, I don't whether it would impact in the long run and as much I have heard the ktm service centre is not up to the mark of royal enfield
So I'm curious to know what should I consider
Opinions are welcome adventure 390(ebony black) himalyan 450 kaza brown and remember money or budget is not the issue here
