Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 | Engine Sound Only

[@WildBikerBill]

1. Engine sound - much smoother than I expected. I like it. 2. That stock windscreen is comically small.

1. Both the CFMoto 450MT and Honda NX500 will be smoother running motors - less buzzy, less likely to put your hands to sleep, than the big single of the Himalayan 450. 2. The 450MT suspension seems to be the best, with the most adjustability, going by what I read and watch online. 3. The Himalayan 450 is the least expensive, the 450MT a step up, and the NX500 is the most expensive of the three. I'm going by USD prices, yours may differ. Just guessing, but the Honda will likely have the best parts availability and support, and resale value, followed by the Royal Enfield, and CFMoto bringing up the rear. 4. Looks are subjective. Only you know what you and your friends like, if the latter matters to you. I'm an old fart, more a 1980's - 1990's sport touring style guy, a lot of modern bikes seem ugly to me, with styling by Transformers, but the 450MT I like the best of this trio. Finally, I've had very good luck buying new vehicles, but an old rule of thumb is to be wary of buying the first year of an all new model - don't get sucked in by "I gotta have". In the 450MT and NX500's favor is both manufacturers have been cranking those engines out for a while, but the Himalayan really is all new. My opinion, worth about what you paid for it.
