Up next is the KTM 390 Adventure. It is a great motorcycle to go touring on and has decent off-road chops too, especially on the spoked-wheel variant.

The BMW G 310 GS has been around a while and is the most affordable ‘GS’ model that you can buy from BMW Motorrad. Sure, it is more road-oriented, but it has entertaining performance, a decent set of features and at Rs. 3.3 lakh (ex-showroom), it is not going to break your bank. Plus, the pride of owning a BMW GS motorcycle comes bundled along with the price.

From a distance, it is a spitting image of the Himalayan 411. It has a peppy and eager 334 cc engine, decent kit, is a tad heavy but can take a beating too. It is a good touring motorcycle as well. The Yezdi Adventure is priced from Rs. 2.16 lakh to Rs. 2.20 lakh (ex-showroom).

Royal Enfield Scram 411

Yes, the name ‘Scram’ hints towards a scrambler, but it is as good as the Himalayan 411 ADV. The Royal Enfield Scram 411 gets a 19-inch spoked wheel up front along with retro styling. It is as capable as the Himalayan 411, getting the same 411 cc long-stroke engine which produces oodles of torque in the bottom end and the mid-range. It is a good option in case you have a liking for the old Himalayan. Prices for the Scram 411 start at Rs. 2.06 lakh and go up to Rs. 2.12 lakh (ex-showroom).

Suzuki V-Strom SX

The Suzuki V-Strom SX is priced at Rs. 2.12 lakh (ex-showroom).

Hero XPulse 200 4V

Lastly, we have the Hero XPulse 200 4V. If you want to get into riding off-road, there’s no better bike than the Hero XPulse 200. It is light, has decent enough power and is easy to fix and maintain as well. Plus the bike has good ground clearance along with solid suspension travel that allows you to take the bike on legit off-road terrain. In case you want even more off-road cred, then you can choose the XPulse 200 4V Pro as well, which gets a taller seat, better ground clearance and more suspension travel. Plus, the bike also gets three ABS modes – road, rally, off-road. Prices for the Hero XPulse 200 4V start at Rs. 1.46 for the regular variant and Rs. 1.53 lakh for the Pro variant.
