This bike has let me live complete my long waited dream. It proved to be an strong and wonderful partner for my journey to Ladakh. None could be a better companion for such roads. It provided with utmost comfort and I was so surprised by the fact that Royal Enfield is much much more comfortable than cars if you are going in hills. The bike feels so powerful when you ride on high altitude that you actually gets a feeling of royalness. Fuel consumption was also reasonable. And we never felt any discomfort in carrying a rider and pillion on a high of 8860 feet. This bike is my choice and recommendation for every traveller.
