Royal Enfield Himalayan 2018

Royal Enfield Himalayan 2018

The Royal Enfield Himalayan is a real retro touring enduro. Apart from ABS, the bike does without any riding aids - but with its low power, you will rarely need aids such as traction control. Its appearance is definitely unique and brings a breath of fresh air to the current segment of touring enduros. In addition to its looks, the Himalayan scores with its easy rideability and a very comfortable seating position. Only the performance of the brake is disappointing. Despite good hardware, it takes a lot of power to stop the Royal Enfield. That's why you can call it a real retro bike - not only its looks, but also its technology is full of retro charm.

The BMW G 310 GS is the perfect counterpart to the naked bike. The range under 500 cc now has two great motorbikes to offer from BMW. Both onroad and offroad, the small GS is a dynamic motorbike and versatile. For the experienced GS specialists among you, it may not be the right bike. But for all those who still want to become one and are looking for the right entry level, definitely. Definitely recommended for the ladies, too. It's so light, easy to turn and gives a great feeling of security. It's a bike for the world!
