A simple and neat conversation with no unnecessary background music.
That's how the presentation should be 😊
Glad you liked it.

Can't agree any less simple no nonsense And to the point no drama no sideway conversation
This is what i will do after my retirement,discussing about bikes with my friend ❤
🙌
Uncle let us take you on a ride
The only video a buyer needs to watch before going for some test rides.
PS. Bosky, please don’t lose any more body fat. What a transformation from six months ago! 👏👏👏
Thanks.
Thanks. 😊
Baba Bosky ki Jai ❤ The guru of casually discussing the nuances of motorbikes.

Baba agrees 😂
Yes

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.
Yes fully agree. Refinement is something that RE could work on. Thanks. Cheers!
After meeting Bosky sir in person yesterday and seeing his video today.. I must say he is as cheerful and lively being in video as well as in person, even more i would say… One thing i like about him is he doesn’t overload his video with technical specs and he doesn’t overly complicate things, he does things in his own way simple, clean and flowing content all the way through…
Oh wow! Many thanks. 🙏
Absolutely ! 👍
@@bigbearbangalore 🙌
Well said true...😊
Yes, straight to the point always. And he responds to queries. Respect 🙏🏽
THANK YOU... that is all I can say... This is the most required video (for me personally).. absolutely glad that you took the time to do it... Will really benifit a lot of ppl in clearing the doubts and a way forward for making a decision... THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH...
Glad it was helpful! Thanks.
Lovely piece and love the honest opinions! Also kudos to your cameraman, for keeping it nice and calm and getting the bikes in the frame well when they’re being talked about!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
I really appreciate unbiased views from your first hand experience. With so many good options in the market, its really confusing to pick up one bike. This comparo will genuinely help prospective buyers to make a right decision.
Many thanks.
Very informative video and interesting comparison as 400cc is the next big thing for the Indian market. I absolutely love the pinch of sensible humor throughout the clip. Thanks for sharing your experience, it is great to gather knowledge about motorcycles, from the OGs!
Glad you liked it! Thanks.
I have become addicted now for your videos and both of you are like playing wonderful opening batting pair which makes the match ( vlog ) interesting .
So hats off to you both ! The viewers or followers can not ask more than these kind of practical comparison like what we discuss with friends on many areas ! Some times we forget certain areas but you have not missed any of the areas !! Useful conversation !!
Right video at right time !! Keep vloging ! Ensuring your guidance and experience reaches to the public is really helpful 🙏🙏🤝🤝🤝. Super ! Super ! Super !
Oh wow! Many thanks for your kind appreciation. We will continue to do our best. Regards.
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!
Many thanks foe the detailed comment. Regards.
One of the most awaited video on Yotube! Thank you so much, I really like your reviews and understanding on motorcycling.
Glad you liked it!
Great comparison gents! I'm glad you left out the usual price comparison (since local bike markets are entirely different). Good banter, very informative, many thanks! Greetings from Ireland. Safe rides!
Many thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
I like how the KTM 390 is still so relevant. Bought it the first day it was available still works like a charm. And probably the best pillion comfort, which bosky anc ck missed in the discussion.
👍
We don't ride pillion and don't carry a pillion hence did not mention about it.
@@bigbearbangalore point taken 🙏
Do adv 390 need to top up oil frequently.. bcs i hear it has an oil burning issue.. is it true .. 🙂
I would not call it frequent. Most engines burn some oil and need a top every few thousand kms. Harder and heavier the usage, the more the oil burn. I've nit come across anything unusual on any well maintained KTM.
I bought a triumph scrambler..quite fun riding machine ..simple design , satisfying power …. Comfy too for my height 😅
My last trip 200km without tee break …..it doesn’t feel tired
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Great video guys. The easy styling of the video puts CONTENT as front and square which is excellent. Opinions may differ and should differ and that's where a more nuanced comparison would come out. I personally feel there is a bias towards Triumph 400 but thats bound to be and perfectly OK. Why Husky 401 was not included beats me as on design, engine, shocks (adjustable), tyres, weight, engine and some other factors that stands out heads and shoulders above this lineup. Keep the videos coming 🤟
Thanks. Good observations and well worded and communicated. Thanks for the clarity. The 401is new new and isn't yet freely available hence. And yes, it will make it to the list next time.
Amazing comparison to the point.. SIDHI BAAT NO BAKWASS... Great video with clear review.. going to buy himalayan 450 for touring... thanks.. GOD BLESSS YOU ALLL
Thanks. Best wishes.
After 3 months of mind busting in going through reviews and taking test rides... Finally bought home x440 today
Congrats!
Hey how is it
Hey how is it
Much needed video of the age
🙏
I’ve been eyeing the KTM for a while now , but have been held back by the low end torque, scared about the top end , and put off by the suspension given the competitors right now … I believe these are areas which are deal breaker issues …considering the fact the mostly I’m gonna spend time in city traffic .. also at that price I think the engine should be more refined … but yes I’m also eagerly waiting for the new one to come out and hoping it’s gonna blow everything else out of the water .. super video ! Just what a somewhat informed enthusiast is looking for right now … speak volumes about how no script can compete with just real simple experience 😊👏🙌 oh almost forgot .. from what I know so far I’m super envious of the reviews the triumph is getting in regards to the fit and finish and engine refinement … but sadly I’m just not that into retros … oh what if they launch a mini tiger ?!?! 😮😮😮😅
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. The 2025 KTM390 Adventure could be a step above all these. If one's in no rush and ready to wait several months, could be a worthy wait.
I totally agree with both the gents on ktm 390.. i rode the bike and loved it, booked it and i felt i could feel overconfident with this bike..with great difficulty, i canceled it and bought him450 .. love your attitude of respecting the bikes for what they are .. wish i could buy most of these bikes abd enjoy them..as usual enjoyed your videos and keep up the great work both of you.
Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Scrambler 400x.. It is the best attempt at making a lower capacity version by a high capacity/premium bike manufacturer.. The fit & finish is proper Triumph big bike level.. really kudos to both Triumph and Bajaj for pulling this off..
Really enjoying the bike from past 3 months.. a proper fun bike..❤
Agree. 👍
Missed to talk about fuel efficiency.. x440
Bangalore to salem i got 39.34
Salem to kollihills back to salem 37.30
Salem to Bangalore 36.
Rode below 4k rpm 70 to 95kmper hour.
Well done!
U guys r simply addictive..my godd..the way u chose to explain da things are very simple n funny way..kudos to your knowledge n the way u convey them..
Thank you so much.
The explanation, the talk, the description so simple. Anyone can understand this. Crisp, clear.
🙏
Harley X440 will be my pick as i really loved how a bike should feel while riding,,i mean just like yesteryears 2 stroke with instant power on tap...we do highways only 20% & 120- 130 with pillion is sufficient.....+ I love THE BARE BONE LOOKS...
👍👍👍
Easiest to live with..HD440x for me..
Though i dont own one
👍
What a way to end the week on a sunday night. Perfect video drop!! This channel has become an emotion now!!!
Yes yes.., Bhaski Sir.👌💯👏🙌
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks.
What stands out to me the most is the candidness when discussing likes and dislikes about motorcycles. There's an authenticity that doesn't favor any particular brand-it's simply an honest evaluation of what it is.
Thanks. Happy to hear this.
British x Indian x German x American x Austrian 😮
All “made in India”😅
Oh wow! We missed that. Great observation.
And the NX500 is lurking in the shadows, smirking to himself...for he knows he's the big dad, let the kiddos enjoy!!😁
Yes. Agree.
And behind the NX is the grand daddy, the Tiger 900 Rally Pro also laughing at the kids and the grand kids.
@@bigbearbangalore Behind the nx500 is the nx650 that is old, but basic and lighter than the 500.
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
Could be. Test rides can help immensely.
Thank you Boski and CK for yet another meaningful review. As always loved it!
I might get hunt down or shot for this but wouldn’t it be interesting to also put the Dominar 400 there🤔, everyone here knows the pros and cons of it but what do you gentlemen feel about this bike comparatively? Let me throw in some pros… Lights are GOOD, folks have done odysseys with them, it comes with touring accessories, decent suspension and engine and works easy on the pocket, HEAVY for sure but I’ll let you gentlemen decide or opinionate accordingly 😊
🔫 😄
It's not in the same league as these. And that's just our opinion.
Finally first like and first comment😂😂
👍
😅 how?
@@roopraj1156he probably got the private link when the video was unlisted.
You guys are influencing bikers to own more than one bike i.e. different bike for different purpose. Sir, I am telling you parents and wives are not going to like you (monetary wise) :D One Question - If you had to pick only one bike which one it would be?
Nah nah! Dont make us responsible for your decisions! 😄
If I can have only one, it'll be the H450 for me.
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.
Many thanks for sharing this information. Safe rides. 👍
Thanks to both for unfolding the attributes of these bikes . Perhaps you may prepare a matrix outlining all these attributes and assign points in a scale of 0-10 . Also may enlighten the viewers on the best value for money bike considering the cost of ownership, perceived resale value, etc... For reference, I recall visiting BMW to book 310 but dropped the plan when I was told that its headlght console itself would cost Rs 52,000 .
This is a must watch Video for purchase decision 👌 ❤
Great idea. Noted.
Tap a like if XPULSE 440 should join this lineup.
When it is available. 😊
Hopefully soon , that's the only thing left to come now. After the maverick 440. @heromotocorp
like more Harley Davidson x440
👍
I love my Avenger a lot, but recently did multiple of TD of Himalayan 452 & Xpulse, absolutely loved the Himalayan 452 it, If I had space then Avenger, Himalayan 450 & 411, Harley X440 & Scrambler 400X will in my garage
🙌
One of the best review, pointing out the best of each motorcycle... very useful for me to take decision based on what's my needs. Thank you so much to both of you.
Glad it was helpful!
I like the natural dynamics & casual approach you both present. Good job.
I have a deposit down on a Himalayan 450 & eagerly await its arrival here in Australia late this month or next. Though I am concerned by the weight, I cant see where it comes from, I would have expected 10kg lighter at least. 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
Thanks.
There is a buzz on the H450 at highway speeds and it's not intrusive. And it can run at 140 kmph all day so the 115 will be quite comfortably accomplished.
@@bigbearbangaloreCheers, do you still believe the 4500-6500 vibe bandwidth. So if I gear for 110kph cruise at 7000rpm ?
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.
Big bear at it again! On point, no nonsense and simple to understand. Beautifully done sir 👏🏻
Glad you liked it! Thanks.
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.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Just loving it. Enjoy the friendship's bond and knowledge shared 🎉
Thank you!
Oh my god! I sooo wanted this video to exist! Thank you so much bosky! And yeah, i haven't even started the video but already love it!!! ❤
Yezdi adventure being the only vehicle being missing!
Hope you like it!
Try adding a line up of the yezdi adventure, xpulse, v-strom 250, and the honda 250x as well and that's pretty much all the adventure motorcycles currently on sale!
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 🎉❤
Thanks. Middle weight in the Indian context.
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 😁👏
Many thanks for sharing your experiences.
I was waiting for this for so long... Thank you Guruji.
🙏
Enjoyed every moment of this video. You both have a fantasic synergy. Very interesting to see they Harley in the line up. Truthfully, this is the first time ive heard of the Harley X440, but im not sure it will be available in the uk, which explains why.
Glad you enjoyed it! I think this model is India specific.
Historical video ! Thank you for the sharing , you did great !!
🙏👍
Great, Simple, Unscripted, Not in a hurry! Loved it, enjoyed it with my family❣.Nobody is talking about the Xpulse 210 , tbh i think it might be nearer than the Xpulse 400, i might be wrong.🤞
🙏👍
Hey Bosky,
Been watching your videos, Shorts for a while now. Always gr8 content. One more can join this compare, although recently launched - Hero's Mavrik. Curious how that will ride vs these old war horses! Keep making such videos to help & inspire us. Ride safe & tc!!
Thanks.
Yes will check on this video possibility. Cheers!
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.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Much appreciated. See you on am adv soon. Best wishes.
Stalwarts wins the hearts ..a wonderful discussion abt these machines ..I am Himalayan owner
🙏👍
I always thought watching a review video when not planning to buy is stupid but enjoyed the discussion thoroughly thankyou for making great content 💯💯
Glad you enjoyed it.
This was a nice discussion by a couple of enthusiasts. I really enjoyed it, thank you. Subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Informative & Entertaining . Thanks to both of you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nicely done sir, keep up the good work! however I was curious to know why Jawa/yezdi product line up wasn't included in this review? It is to be noted that yezdi offered a typical uniquely designed scrambler much before than Triumph scrambler 400x.
Good question! And the Yezdi / Jawa aren't in this segment.
WOW
this is the simplest of comparison available on you-tube.
seedhi baat no bakwas 😀
🙏
Nicely made, thank you for the efforts!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the channel, love your passion for small displacement bikes! Would love to ride and bench race with you guys. The scrambler is beautifully designed, but the Himalayan is the price/performance winner.
Many thanks.
The xpulse 200 pro is really an underdog, bring it up to discussion there is lot to talk I am sure it delivers well on/off road both, power figures are on lower side but it’s a great package at the price point it comes
Agree.
Loved the discussion . I have a question for both of you gentlemen. its probably is a very very subjective one. But, Sirs what are the two bikes you would shortlist on Quality and ready to live with those bikes for the next 10 years (i know.. being subjective, quality can mean a lot of things..ride, engineering, comfort, ergonomics..even mileage...serviceability...etc).
Yes 10 years quite possible with proper maintenance.
Video is not scripted!😂 after riding most of these machines, my opinions aligned with both of yours. True.
The hima calls for a tour soon 😊😊😊😊
👍🙏
Nice comparison video! I own one X440, and the only issue I found is the seat's holding screw. I have the tourer seat, and the screw gets loose whenever I ride about 100+ KMs with a pillion! I lost the screw once; moving on, I always tighten the screw after reaching home! Nothing happens while riding alone, though.
Ah ha! A loose screw.
That needs a lasting solution. Hope they can find one for you. Best wishes.
Maybe a spring washer before tightening the bolt will do the job for you. Try it.
The comparison I wanted to see 👊
👍🙏
Loved it bosky👌👌
BTW Which one would u prefer based on Build quality just between 390adv & HiM450?
Am unable to choose one on build quality!
@@bigbearbangalore same dilemma here 🙌
Awesome discussion as always👍
Thanks for listening.
Best review I've ever seen, no senseless talking!
🙏
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 ...
Well said.
Much awaited video.👍🏼
Hope you enjoyed it!
Sure. Thanks for the video... If you rank the bikes in each segment, instead picking the best one, it would have been better. 🙂. And I still doubt, how the himalayan is easy to live with, comparing others😄
Its simple and straight forward comparison. Thank you.
which one do you prefer for sporty and family ride?
Thanks.
H450
That calm & composed discussion ____😋🤘🏻
🙏
Eagerly waiting for new enduro 390. The LC4c engine is the benchmark in this segment. Ktm has been producing this class of engines since 2013 and now to this current iteration. which means that development would have been started all the way back it 2010. I also read that this lc4c engine can also be upscaled.
👍
Will a change in sprocket size do anything positive towards the top end of the x440?
Not likely. It may drop torque which is not good because the rideability is the strength.
Thanks for this video.
Bosky & CK, If you had to pick one out of this lot (single bike Garage), which would you pick ?
I'll pick the H450
@@bigbearbangalore Kudos for a direct answer. Awesome.
Hello Bosky! Since you brought up the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 - I have been eyeing that bike for a while now, but sadly no test rides have been available in Bengaluru so far - between the Himalayan, Scrambler 400X and the Svart 401, which would be your pick for city riding and highway munching (not as much off-road, just standard Bengaluru roads and a trip to Mysuru, etc)?
H450 would be my first pick.
@@bigbearbangalore Thank you for the reply! I must say I am surprised by it. :D Is it because of the Himalayan's highway manners?
10 catergories: Engine; Ergonomics; Handling(Tarmac); Handling(off-road); City Riding; Long Touring; Seat; Headlight; Looks; Maintenance
RE 452 - Ergo, Off-road, Long Touring, Maintenance(livibility) 4/10
KTM 390 - Handling(tarmac); Seat 2/10
HD x440 - City, Headlight 2/10
Triumph 400x - Engine, Looks, 2/10
BMW 310gs - 0/10
Given the scoring RE looks like a clear winner. I am personally leaning toward Triumph 400x as my puny legs struggle with RE weight.
👍👍👍
Great video. Great comparison.
🙏
Great video and thanks for educating us on pros and cons of these bikes.
I currently ride Classic 350 and do you think scrambler 400 or harley 400 would be a worthy upgrade ?
Ride ride them to know more. I would not call or an upgrade since the design and purpose are different.
Any given day adv390, that is love❤. KTM with Pro xp program makes it more deserving of love.
👍
This video is clear evidence of who the boss of the mid-size segment. Ticking most of the boxes #royalenfield Himalayan. Thank you Big Bear Bangalore for wonderful content .
👍
Lots of Love for both of you ❤.
Thank you so much.
A nice laid back assessment and the unity of opinion on each bike was nice to know. But what about servicing frequency and cost and the price of parts. Can you rank them that way?
Thsnks. And question noted.
This is not just a review its gentleman talks ❤
🙏
I wish latest Honda CB350 is there in the mix. Wonderful video.
The CB we felt was in a different segment hence we dis nit mention it. A fair point you've made. Thanks.
Recently I drove from pune to Goa with my son . Myself drove scrambler 400 and my son BmW GS 310 .
Scrambler - pros
1. Manuvering 2 gear shifting 3 retro look
BMW - 1 Controll while driving n lapping 2 suspension 3 very less heat emission
Over all scrambler bit tough for long drive .
BMW very bad gear shifting but overall sitting postures allows to ride it for longer distances
👍
I own the scrambler. Feels a bit tough gliding through Bangalore traffic. Gives amazing experience on weekend rides. Great handling, balance and looks
Thanks for sharing. It's glides thru traffic too for me.
Need to work on my skills then bro 😂.
Better if u start teaching some. I am new to a mid segment bike
Keep riding. Enjoy the ride. 😊👍
The R E Himalayan 450 has spoke wheels and tubed tyres, is it troubles in long rides.
It can.
Thank you so much sir.....😊
Best channel ❤ thanks for the video 😁
Glad you enjoy it!
Hi, I had a few questions about the Himalayan 450. I test rode 3 different Himalayans and I noticed that at low rpm, the engine starts to knock. At like 2nd gear about 25km/ph the engine seems like it lacks torque and knocking is the most prominent in 2nd and 3rd gear. The speedometer too was VERY inaccurate and showed speeds way beyond what you are riding. On my phone and my watch the speed was 40 when the bike showed me 52. And this was the scene in all the 3 bikes.
Then may be the rpm is too low. Ride it slightly differently. This is unlike a typical long stroke RE. Needs a little more rpm and throttle. Speedo error is quite common.
Can the mechanical clutter in Himalayan be solved to some extend?
Also do you recommend cash guard for offroading
Which all accessories are a must for Himalayan
That clatter unlikely to go away. Crashguard I prefer OEM RE guards. Accessories are a personal choice.
What a wonderfull cool n calm video
Glad you enjoyed it!
I got the Scrambler 400x now planning on adding one more cruiser to my bikes have classic 350 may be X440.
👍
I have booked a himlayan and since then following you..
In one video you mentioned the clatter was only due to combustion but now you seem to accept a mechanical clatter as well.. How much of it is a concern for a buyer and do you see this resolved by RE a little later for who already own it..!!
Combustion clatter I referred to was on the J and 411 and did not call it out specifically on the 450.
Concern for buyer? I see none.
Thanks Bosky
Here in Brazil we are about to have the Hinalayan at the end of 2024, and no KTM, or Harley for us. Between the 2 remaining bikes my choice wold be the Scrambler. Thnk you for sharing your opinion with us
Thanks! Best wishes.
