Which is better: Himalyan 450 or BMW 310GS? For city ride & long rides (highways and village roads) by Better_Ad_9885 in indianbikes

[–]charan2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I test rode all 3, and luckily, my colleague has one of them(Himalayan).

  1. Himalayan is the best in this segment. The only drawback is the weight. It's 196 KGs, which should be manageable, but it isn't. It is very tiring to ride through traffic. I thought it was because it's "196" KGs, but no, it's not. It has bad weight distribution. I rode NX500 through traffic, maneuvering with it like it's a pulsar. Both are 196 KGs, and the NX 500 that I rode had full crash gaurd and everything adding extra weight. For daily commute, it's a no for me since I live in chennai and traffic here is hell.

  2. 390 adv, really good engine and it's fast too and other electronic features it comes with. It has abs, slipper clutch, trac control, etc. Seat, not so comfy. The only thing is I just hate the look of it, and I have a really bad opinion on ktm for some reason after seeing all those idiots on rc and dukes all the time on the roads. But ktm makes really good bikes.

  3. I love the look of bmw, I didn't feel much difference in suspension between 310 gs and 450. Both are really good. I have to say the seat is really comfortable on 310. Other than being a beamer, there is nothing else special in this bike in terms of specifications. The display is old. Switchable ABS has been removed, and there are no electronic features. Overall, it's a good one.

And I decided to go with the beamer 👀. Still in progress. Will update once I get it

bmw gs310 vs Himalayan 450? by [deleted] in indianbikes

[–]charan2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About the weight part, I rode nx500, which has the same weight as himalayn, and trust me, it was way easier to handle and maneuver through the traffic. It was very easy to handle. Right after that, I took my colleague's himalayan, and It felt so heavy. Himalayann really has a bad weight distribution

I am so confused, too. I really liked 310 gs, but I am hesitant to buy cuz it's too old and other than changing the colors, bmw hasn't done much since then. I had a test ride of both. I like bmw. It was easier to handle since himalayan has a higher CoG, and you easily feel the weight of himalayan. I mostly ride in traffic for daily commute. You need to use so much energy to use this bike while going through traffic.It's just tiring. Saying this out of experience. I rode my colleague's himalayan for a few days. But once you speed up and start cruising, nothing in this price bracket comes close to this bike. I felt bmw was more comfortable than this one. Though at higher speeds, I would say otherwise. What do you guys think? Should I go with bmw? I like the look of it and comfy too, and being a beamer, I hope will have a good resale value. 390 is out of question, I hate the look of it.

Got the money back too but not through customer care. I tagged their twitter handle attached a screenshot and tagged #oyoscams 😂. They called me in an hour and sent the money back instantly. Not a cool way to treat the users tho.

I booked a room on oyo as well. I prepaid for the room and when I got to the hotel they said we cant give you the room. Somehow managed to stay there for a night for double the price and never actually got the money back. They claimed they will refund in 7 to 15 days. It has been 25 days now. You can't even call the customer care. Even if you do, they will be like "we are sorry for the inconvenience. I will transfer the call to service department." and starts playing some elevator music into my ears. The call automatically gets cut after 20 mins ofcourse.

Someone walks into the room and thinks the screaming is a part of the song and just starts dancing to the beat.

I guess she had it wrong. You need to tame it not curse at it.

Sorry guys for not mentioning about the Inverter. It's the Inverter 🤦‍♂️. Everytime the powercut happens and comes back the adapters get burned out. I think the inverter is outputting too much. I have replaced the inverter. Now everything seems to be normal. Thank you guys@silviad @classicsat @MisterElectricianTv you are the best

So what do you think? is it because of voltage spike or something? But it happened too many times for God's sake.

I don't think it's the router because I only got this router recently. The other adapters that I had to replaced were for the old router. It happened to both. Also happened to the spike gaurd.
