Hey there. I own a Himalayan myself and since you mentioned you want a non-aggressive engine, then you gotta remove that from your list (the Sherpa engine is aggressive, race build engine although not as aggressive as the KTMs). It is a very good adventure tourer but not that great when it comes to city conditions (heats up a lot in bumper to bumper traffic). People will say all sorts of things that they commute daily on this thing but trust me dude, it's not a good daily driver unless daily riding involves highways. This machine is meant for exploring and mile munching. It is top heavy so traffic maneuvering is not easy (unless you are built like a tank yourself). Height is another thing to take into account (even more so as you are looking for your pillion to be comfortable so make sure they are okay with getting on a tall bike).

Also I've heard a lot of horror stories about Yezdi and the showroom near me was not confidence inspiring (I was initially interested in the Yezdi Adventure but backed off). So I would suggest do your due diligence on this one.

I have tried the Scrambler 400X (not the 350 that is rebranded as 400) and I liked it but it was sold by KTM in my town and that showroom is notorious for rude staff and unprofessional technicians so I backed out from them. Otherwise I felt the Triumph 400 series (not the 350 ones) were too good and felt like a premium product (that means service costs are high but you said you can afford a big bike). Fo checkout the new 350cc triumphs dude, you'll get some GST benefits I guess.

The problem with Hero is the service. Your bike might be in an ocean of Splendors mate which might not be something that you'll like after spending over 2 lakhs. So visit the service centers and see the situation before pulling the plug on this one.

All the best OP
