Pros and Cons in comparison

Royal Enfield Himalayan 2020

The workmanship is of a surprisingly high standard for a motorbike that can be had in Germany and Austria for under 5,000 euros. Everything about the little Himalayan looks like it was built to last. Of course, the little Indian can't compete with others in terms of performance data, but it doesn't want to. It is a motorbike for individualists who want to escape society's higher, faster, further - deceleration of the first order.
