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

This is what i will do after my retirement,discussing about bikes with my friend ❤

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! 👏👏👏

Baba Bosky ki Jai ❤ The guru of casually discussing the nuances of motorbikes.

I have booked Himalayan 450. I was confused between KTM ADV 390 and Himalayan 450 I saw lot's of videos on KZfaq after seeing your videos i am happy and satisfied what I booked. tomorrow will go to take delivery of my new Himalaya 450.. Thank you so much sir for your help..

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…

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.

00:13 Triumph 400X is praised for its fit and finish, low speed handling, maneuverability, ease of controls, and smooth engine. 02:46 Himalayan H450 is supremely capable for its size and weight 05:11 Parking awareness and mechanical clatter improvement needed 07:36 Bikes have high frequency buzz, lightweight handling, and comfortable ergonomics. 09:58 Triumph 400X has impressive exhaust design and sound 12:09 KTM 390 ADV is fast and nimble 14:32 Comparison of engine and ergonomics 16:55 Preference for handling on tarmac and seat comfort 19:20 Discussion on the design and ease of living with the motorcycles. 21:43 Comparing multiple motorcycles for likes and dislikes Crafted by Merlin AI.

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...

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!

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.

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 !

One of the most awaited video on Yotube! Thank you so much, I really like your reviews and understanding on motorcycling.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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 🤟

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..

The explanation, the talk, the description so simple. Anyone can understand this. Crisp, clear.

What a way to end the week on a sunday night. Perfect video drop!! This channel has become an emotion now!!!

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 ?!?! 😮😮😮😅

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

Informative & Entertaining . Thanks to both of you.

Stalwarts wins the hearts ..a wonderful discussion abt these machines ..I am Himalayan owner

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

Historical video ! Thank you for the sharing , you did great !!

Much needed video of the age

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..❤

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.

Just loving it. Enjoy the friendship's bond and knowledge shared 🎉

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!!

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.

After 3 months of mind busting in going through reviews and taking test rides... Finally bought home x440 today

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

Nicely made, thank you for the efforts!

Big bear at it again! On point, no nonsense and simple to understand. Beautifully done sir 👏🏻

WOW this is the simplest of comparison available on you-tube. seedhi baat no bakwas 😀

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.

This was a nice discussion by a couple of enthusiasts. I really enjoyed it, thank you. Subbed

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.

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.

I was waiting for this for so long... Thank you Guruji.

Thanks for this video. Bosky & CK, If you had to pick one out of this lot (single bike Garage), which would you pick ?

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

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...

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 ...

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 😊

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 👌 ❤

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!!! ❤

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

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.🤞

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.

I always thought watching a review video when not planning to buy is stupid but enjoyed the discussion thoroughly thankyou for making great content 💯💯

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 🎉❤

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 ?

This is not just a review its gentleman talks ❤

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 😁👏

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.

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.

your videos are quite fun i enjoyed it 🤩

Any given day adv390, that is love❤. KTM with Pro xp program makes it more deserving of love.

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.

The comparison I wanted to see 👊

What a wonderfull cool n calm video

British x Indian x German x American x Austrian 😮

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)?

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).

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.

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

Great video. Great comparison.

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 😊😊😊😊

Will a change in sprocket size do anything positive towards the top end of the x440?

And the NX500 is lurking in the shadows, smirking to himself...for he knows he's the big dad, let the kiddos enjoy!!😁

Its simple and straight forward comparison. Thank you. which one do you prefer for sporty and family ride?

Much awaited video.👍🏼

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 .

Best review I've ever seen, no senseless talking!

Easiest to live with..HD440x for me.. Though i dont own one

Loved it bosky👌👌 BTW Which one would u prefer based on Build quality just between 390adv & HiM450?

I own the scrambler. Feels a bit tough gliding through Bangalore traffic. Gives amazing experience on weekend rides. Great handling, balance and looks

That calm & composed discussion ____😋🤘🏻

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.

Nice… loved it❤

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..!!

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

Awesome discussion as always👍

Lots of Love for both of you ❤.

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?

What is the hand guard you are using on scrambler? What are the rest of the accessories you are using on it?

I got the Scrambler 400x now planning on adding one more cruiser to my bikes have classic 350 may be X440.

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

I wish latest Honda CB350 is there in the mix. Wonderful video.

The R E Himalayan 450 has spoke wheels and tubed tyres, is it troubles in long rides.

I admit 310Gs is long due for an upgrade but I would pick it up over these anyday of the year. The KTM is a great bike but it is not suitable for taller riders plus your long distance comfort is not nice. The Himalayan, I test rode and is unrefined still. The Triumph lacks the wind protection and overall comfort and has very questionable off road capability and the same goes for Harley Davidson, as the 440 is a great engine, the rest of the package leaves me wanting in all other aspects. Given this, the BMW stands out still and offers true off and on road capability, wind protection (with a slight addition of taller windscreen), comfort, great suspension, a very well balanced chasis, exquisite throttle response which changes as you shift from on to off road and vice versa. I appreciate the honest comparison these reviewers put out but where it matters, the G310GS is making the sales globally neck and neck with RE and KTM. The others don't compare.

Best channel ❤ thanks for the video 😁

I test rode hero's Maverick 440 and that bike also belongs here but boy oh boy that will really muddy the waters here in terms of clarity on what to pick with what it has to offer in this mix

there should also be a pick for all rounder, like can do long distance, city traffic, off roading almost everything well enough. what would that be? please answer this.

Love from bombay, keep it up bosky baba!!!
