Thanks. Happy to hear this.

[@thekushinator]

Bosky, I'm pausing the video at 5.51 where you're talking about the mechanical clatter of the Himmy. It is so good to hear someone like you point it out. The mechanical clatter of the REs is a thing they should've paid a bit more attention to when designing a brand new engine in todays day and age. Agreed that its not a problem (as pointed out in one of your previous videos), but something that gives the himmy an unrefined feel. As always... love the content you put out together with CK. Hats off gents.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Yes fully agree. Refinement is something that RE could work on. Thanks. Cheers!

I got the scrambler 400x a month ago and yesterday did my first ride of 250kms, mostly highway (Bengaluru to Krishnagiri Dam with breakfast stop at Murugan's), I was riding at an average of 80-90kmph and even pushed it till 110-120 and still felt it has enough juice left to push it further. It was really comfortable to ride, even the pillion preferred it over Honda CB350's. I enjoyed the ride and the bike has performed way better than I expected. Some nitpicks: Rear braking isn't good, headlights are weak, needs bigger windscreen for higher speeds.

[@Kazaamshady]

Hello Both, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this 400cc lineup. Being a 'less than 1 month' owner of the Scrambler, it was good to see your consideration of its features which was rather than a validation, more of a vindication of my ability to judge my motorcycles well/ So thanks again. Coming to what I'd improve on the Scram - 1. Fuel tank - ~14L with a usable capacity of ~11L is a pittance. I'd prefer a usable tank size of 14-15L 2. Brakes - Organic brakes for scrambling while 95% of the customer base would be using this on the tarmac. Easy to switch to sintered, but a gremlin nevertheless. 3. Headlight - lots of light leakage. The low beam focuses right at the front tire and no definition to the throw & focus. 4. Gearing - 1st gear is non-existent/very short, only useful to bring the motorcycle into momentum rather than actually accelerate substantially. I'd prefer gears 2-6 to actually be 1-5 & wish there was another above the current 6th for the highways. 5. Tire noise - 5th gear 4-5K RPM & onwards, I hear the distinct tire whine you generally hear from load bearing trucks/lorries on the highway. I'm assuming it's a characteristic of the tire in particular; nevertheless wish it wasn't there to poison the bass-y thump from the exhaust. I'm staying off from mentioning about the engine/tappet noise seeing that I'm yet to complete the first service; I've heard from other owners that the noise dies down significantly after service, so looking forward to that. Thanks again!

Hello Bosky and CK, recently I did a test drive of Scrambler 400X and absolutely loved the ride & handling, ergonomics, and chassis balance. But hated the throttle control as most of the time it was like an on or off feeling with the bike jerking, not at all progressive. Could it be particular for that test drive vehicle or is it the case with the Scrambler 400X? I currently own a Hunter 350 and was thinking of upgrading to 400X due to Hunter’s stiff rear suspension having terrible effect on its ride & handling.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Hello. Coming from the Hunter, the 400X throttle will feel snatchy and abrupt. That’s how it is and you’d need to get used to that and adapt to a different level of right wrist rotation modulation.

Triumph Scrambler 400X-because of it's lower weight & it's overall size. Automatically it's the easiest one to manage off road especially in difficult conditions. It would inspire confidence. Also it's retro look & it seems to produce good torque throughout the rev range.

Even though the last 5 min may seem scripted, the very candid nature of this video brings out very apt review of bikes across multiple factors. I own g310gs and I personally feel suspension is the best, as good as himalayan but most importantly the weight and agility of the bike compliments the suspension setting more. Took me some time to get used to the vibrations since I moved up from Honda Unicorn. Given the competitor bikes in segment it is like calculating the average of all the specs, except the price. But if I were to upgrade, I would go for something in 650-750 segment considering the exposure this bike gave.

Highway vibration is the other concern, this is why the Dual Sports I have don't fit me for longer trips. A comment would be nice, I only need 115kph to get me down those highways I can't avoid. Cheers from Downunder

@@bigbearbangaloreCheers, do you still believe the 4500-6500 vibe bandwidth. So if I gear for 110kph cruise at 7000rpm ?

[@bigbearbangalore]

There's no intrusive vibes at any rpm. I don't notice it or feel it anymore so any speed is ok for me to cruise peacefully. 4000 to 7000 rpm band is the best range.

[@EzMeck]

You should have included cb300f as well. Just because of its value for money aspect. It's an extremely capable machine from honda. It's an absolute steal for 2 lakh inr.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Ok

[@sammyutube]

Great year for Bikes in India ..👌🏽.reminds me of the period between1983 and 85 when new bikes like the YamahaRD350, IndSuzuki ax100, Hero Honda 100, Kawasaki Bajaj 100 , Zundapp Enfield silver plus etc were launched...exciting times ...

[@bigbearbangalore]

Well said.

[@chidanandapanigrahi469]

First of all, I salute you both! Both of you have given reviews and your opinions. It was very good according to that. Sir keep going, keep making such videos. I liked it the best in all the KZbin shows I saw. Your way of speaking and the details in your talks were the best. I liked watching the video. I have a question to you, will Himalayan 450 be good for a long time ❤❤❤

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thank you. Yes the H450 is a good buy.

[@charanjitsingh1604]

Thank you For your Video That assist me for choosing the KTM 390 ADV instead of all other bikes... I rode this bike, I know there's alot of vibrations on commuting on normal roads but it can be last longer at least for the next 3 to 5 years... because the Features 390ADV is given, right now, is not available in any other bike, I think so... (may be, just because I am just thinking about 390ADV or Himalayan 450). thank you for your Video

[@bigbearbangalore]

👍👍👍

[@heyrohithofficial]

Great vlog sir I’m a proud owner of HIMALAYAN 411 recently I met with accident and under recovery but though I don’t wanna continue with the accident bike any more hence I made my mind to go with Himalayan 450 or either the 390 ADV but so far looking into many vlogs of comparisons as well as the inputs of information about the Himalayan 450. I made my choice I made my decision that will be getting the Himalayan 450. Thanks a lot sir @bigbearbangalore your vlogs literally helped me a lot in all the ways… Also I wish to see many more vlogs of yours going further ❤

[@bigbearbangalore]

Get well soon. Best wishes. Thanks.

[@baluchandu26]

Guess it's time to add the Bear 650 in this line up. Certainly want to hear more of your take on the bike

[@gvkavinash]

I own an 390 adv.(Also a 10Yr old RE and had a 20yrold RE too) I've driven most of them except new Himalayan, I still feel the features it has been offering from 2020 are still relevant and RE has just come up with them. No other competitor's are able to give the electronic package that KTM is offering

[@bigbearbangalore]

Yes the electronics is top on the 390ADV.

Love your videos. Awesome content. Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t the Middle Weight bikes category ranges from 650cc to 900cc ? The bikes in the video are sub 500cc’s and single cylinders too. Awesome for all terrains. Absolutely love the Triumph and Himalayan. Thanks for sharing. Please keep making such great content 🎉❤

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks. Middle weight in the Indian context.

[@KT-bg5ut]

i recently bought himalayan 450 after selling ktm adventure 250 and definitely agreed with your opinion ktm seat is best among all those bikes and light weight handling

[@bigbearbangalore]

👍

[@striker1011]

Deeply appreciate you both for a unbiased detailed analysis ❤. I own adventure 390 and I am very happy with my purchase. The fully adjustable ktm suspension especially for the rear costs 7200 which greatly improves ride comfort and absorbs everything brilliantly after softening it. Front suspension costs 22k and make little difference compared to rear suspension which makes a huge difference. I haven't ridden the new Himalayan 450 and wonder how it compares to the Himalayan massive suspension. Anyways appreciate your detailed knowledge sir's 😁👏

[@bigbearbangalore]

Many thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@apexpredator2277]

Great Vid, Own an 2020 ADV 390, planning to switch to speed or scrambler, the low end torque and seat height is too painful in Bangalore traffic..

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks.

Planning to buy harley X440. Use case will be do small tours and local drive. By looking at it in the showroom i was highly impressed with it. Is it a reliable machine and easy to live with?

The BMW if they could improve the NVH levels, provide a larger tank ( atleast 15L), bring back the ABS turn off switch while providing Spoke wheels (tubeless) as an accessory then voila I wouldn't look anywhere else

[@saisathya6274]

I don't have much experience riding these motorcycles, but with the limited amount of experience, I agree with most of the points that you guys said. Love these opinion videos about a bunch of the best middle-weight advs that are currently available in our country. I just wish the Honda NX500 and the Hero's upcoming Xpulse 400 were also here to complicate things for you guys. 😂 Triumph Scrambler 400x would be my choice for everything I would require a bike for as it is the perfect blend between ADV and a road-biased motorcycle, but the only thing that I am not very sure about is the service network and the service cost by itself when compared to much pocket-friendly service costs provided by brands like Ktm and Honda. But on the other hand, I am really looking forward to the next-gen Ktm 390 or 250 Adv with the updated design with changes to the engine setup with a much better low-end torque. I don't know when on Earth I will be financially good enough to buy a good bike, but when I do I wish that I could sit down with you and help me choose a motorcycle tailored to my needs. A good video as always.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Much appreciated. See you on am adv soon. Best wishes.

[@gitesh4646]

Loved it bosky👌👌 BTW Which one would u prefer based on Build quality just between 390adv & HiM450?

[@JoeJoe-v1w]

Good video with excellent content. I appreciate that you did not have loud music throughout the video, it was easy to hear everything you said, thank-you for that. You touched on a lot of categories - also very good. The one question I wish you would have considered is 2UP Pillion Riding - which bike would make the best 2UP Touring Bike?? I assume it is the Himalayan 450 or possibly the Scrambler 400X - please let us know. I need a bike that can do it all, Touring and 2UP Touring/Long Distances over smooth tarmac and badly maintained roads. I think the Himalayan 450? Also, which one can support the most weight 2UP??? Thank-you so much.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks and glad you liked the video. We don’t carry pillions hence unable to give a complete feedback. However, amongst this lot I feel the most comfy would be the H450 and X440.

[@JoeJoe-v1w]

@@bigbearbangalore Thanks!

[@francis105G]

Great Discussion...Love your viewpoints on these five great bikes in the same class... I believe it would be a difficult choice for me between the Harley Davidson X440 and the Royal Enfield 450

[@bigbearbangalore]

Could be. Test rides can help immensely.

[@TheVigilantStewards]

I have an SYM 200 in Kenya that I've been very pleased with. It makes me very happy, and I just want more of that kind of thing. I want better suspension, seat comfort, ergonomics, parts/reliability, aftermarket options, luggage, and style. My head gasket has already blown at 5,500 km, but I'm very fond of it. I ride around the country and it's very relaxing and pleasing as my first motorcycle. For me a 310GS would be higher quality, better riding (especially with rally raid parts), better accessories, more power. I would really like to know what you would pick the BMW for, because you sounded quite positive about it then picked it for nothing. I just want a good all arounder that I can travel down rough dirt roads to get home on or go three hours on a highway with speed bumps on and be totally comfortable once I hit Nairobi traffic. I think it looks nice. For me, I just don't love the KTM orange or sitting on top of a dirt bike feel. Otherwise, I appreciate it a lot. Harley triumph, they're not here... maybe the enfield, but it just doesn't make me as excited as the looks on the GS. I think I want to experience BMW design also. I would love to have heard more information about the GS. Anyone's comments would be very welcome. Seemed like other than cost and high frequency vibration there was no downside. I wonder if there is an aftermarket damper for the vibes? Or an aftermarket seat? I noticed on the KTM there is a seat pad

[@bigbearbangalore]

The high frequency intrusive vibes keeps me away from the 310GS. In all other aspects the motorcycle is quite good.

[@TheVigilantStewards]

@@bigbearbangalore Thank you for the response. I've actually been to Bangalore before and enjoyed my time there! Do you have a tip on how to mitigate the vibes?

[@bigbearbangalore]

@TheVigilantStewards I know of no means to do this.

[@TheVigilantStewards]

@@bigbearbangalore Good to know, thank you... here we don't get above 100-110 very much, so I'm not sure how noticeable it would be, but something good to keep in mind. I appreciate the replies!

[@samuelprabhuu]

Should've added Husqvarna to the lot sir. Anyway,great video sir 👍

The 401 is very new and is not quite available yet. If it was, it would have made it to this list. 👍
