I owned a Standard 350 and sold it last year, planning to upgrade. At that time, I was considering the NX500, but I was short on cash, so I decided to wait. Recently, with the new e-Clutch model, the on-road price in Kochi has gone up to around ₹9.5 lakh, which feels like a huge amount for me. At that price, I feel like I might as well continue saving and eventually get a Transalp 750.

The problem is that I currently don’t have a bike, and I really miss riding. So I’m thinking about getting something for the short to medium term (maybe keeping it for around 5 years), and the Himalayan 450 is on my mind.

What are your thoughts on it? Is it worth buying at around ₹4.3 lakh on-road? Or should I just stretch for the NX500 instead?
