The Himalayan, as good as it's become in this new generation, has a few flaws, some of which can get in the way. Here's three reasons not to get one. First, the engine. As nice as it is to use, the engine is not a smooth one. It's constantly buzzing the pegs, the bar also buzzes quite a bit and that's below our expectations from what is otherwise a pretty smooth and slick experience. For some of us, that buzz, especially between 90 and 105 is, erm, buzzkill. Second, the finish. The Himalayan feels robust and quality is good overall but the attention to detail needs improvement. From certain bolts, a series of open tubes where rust could start, to wiring that's more unruly than a badly behaved six-year old, the Himalayan, when you look closer loses some of its sheen. Third, we think it's going to be super popular. And while it does sound strange to hold its popularity against it, if you're the sort who wants a motorcycle that few other people have, the Himalayan is destined to be too popular for your taste. Also, if you're planning to buy one, we do suggest you wait a bit which should solve the missing tubeless spoked rims as well as any initial issues that might occur.
