No contest. Performance wise, the Svartpilen is in a different league. RE can't compete there.

Royal Enfield will dominate sales. For most Indian buyers, it’s brand loyalty and affordability, not performance.

They'll attract different crowds. For the tech savvy riders there is Svartpilen, for the classic bike experience RE.

While RE will continue to dominate the mass market, the Svartpilen will be a niche product.

It depends on pricing. If Husqvarna prices it competitively, it might steal some of the RE's potential customers.

India has unbeatable service network for RE. And that alone will keep many buyers loyal to the brand.

In the long run, the Svartpilen has an edge. With Indian riders becoming more performance oriented, this is the type of bike they will lean towards.
Is Honda’s H’ness CB350 really a Royal Enfield rival?
23 January 2025 09:54
No way, man. Honda can't touch Royal Enfield's cult following. It’s not just the bike; it’s the culture.
Is Honda’s H’ness CB350 really a Royal Enfield rival?
23 January 2025 09:54
I was impressed enough to test ride the H'ness as an RE owner. It has none of the soul my Bullet has. It's too... perfect?
Is this the spiritual successor to the Royal Enfield Taurus?
17 January 2025 07:48
The Taurus was in a league of its own, no way. It's that thumping diesel sound, and that sheer novelty, that can't be replicated. The Scimitar is cool, but it's not a proper successor.
Is this the spiritual successor to the Royal Enfield Taurus?
17 January 2025 07:48
I disagree. The Taurus could have been the Scimitar with modern technology. It is carrying the torch for diesel bikes in India, just with better performance and efficiency.
Is this the spiritual successor to the Royal Enfield Taurus?
17 January 2025 07:48
Both of you are missing the point. The Taurus was a commuter bike and the Scimitar is more of an adventure tourer. They are aimed at entirely different markets.
Is this the spiritual successor to the Royal Enfield Taurus?
17 January 2025 07:48
Spiritual successor? Maybe. I do believe the Scimitar has the ability to be far more successful than the Taurus was. It's better tech and more versatile.
Is this the spiritual successor to the Royal Enfield Taurus?

The only thing they have in common is the diesel engine, let’s be real. The Scimitar is its own beast and we should celebrate it for what it is, not what it brings to mind.
Is this the spiritual successor to the Royal Enfield Taurus?
17 January 2025 07:48
It's more an evolution than a successor. The Taurus learned from its mistakes and the Scimitar improved on the concept. This is the next step in diesel bike development.
Is this the spiritual successor to the Royal Enfield Taurus?
17 January 2025 07:48
So who cares about spiritual successors? The real question is if the Scimitar can make its own legacy. It’s got potential, but it has to prove itself on Indian roads.
What’s the difference between the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the XRE 300 Sahara?
17 January 2025 06:33
It’s more refined and reliable. Honda's engineering is another level; however, Royal Enfield has improved. In the longer term, the XRE will probably require less maintenance.
What’s the difference between the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the XRE 300 Sahara?
17 January 2025 06:33
But I would go for the character of the Himalayan. And it has that classic thumper feel and looks like a proper adventure bike. I don’t find the XRE too similar to a standard street bike.
What’s the difference between the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the XRE 300 Sahara?
17 January 2025 06:33
I’ve ridden both, and I’d say the XRE 300 Sahara is better for on-road and daily use, while the Himalayan will be better in serious off-road situations. Witha lower seat height and a more laidback riding position, the Himalayan’s not as tricky to handle in tricky terrain.
