Hi Everyone. Let me begin by saying I dont own an RE, howver I travel every year to India and have ridden numerous times all over on RE. Ive had experience on 350, 550 , Himalayan 411cc as well as the new one as recently as last year. In 3 weeks Ill be back to ride those wonderful bikes in a beautiful land again. Ps ai have done Ladakh, rajasthan, goa, bengaluru and many others. We were planning Spiti valley this year but it seems the monsoon has created havoc in floods mudslides and rockfalls closing roads etc. But either way we will ride the glorius RE. Ps in South africa I own a Kawasaki KLR and my Wife who alsobride has a BMW dakar.
