Pros and Cons in comparison

Royal Enfield Himalayan 2021

Since its release, the Royal Enfield Himalayan has enjoyed a large fan community thanks to its classic design and exemplary price-performance ratio. With the 2021 model year, practical details such as ABS that can be deactivated on the rear wheel or the small LCD display with arrow navigation have also been introduced. All in all, however, it remains what it has always stood for: a decelerating companion that is just as ready for the grand tour as it is to cut a good figure in front of the ice cream parlour in the city.

Yamaha XJ6 2009

Despite the common basis, the XJ appears much younger and more aggressive. A mid-cass motorbike that by no means makes you feel mid-range. Except for the swingarm, the motorbike appears quite high-quality and cool. The bike is a little easier to handle than the Diversion.
