3. Royal Enfield Himalayan<\/h3>\n

\"Royal<\/a><\/p>\n

Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycle has been specially built for the touring souls who get enthralled by the mere thought of riding through the Himalayan roads. It is the ultimate touring bike that has been manufactured to quench the thirst of the adventure loving and off-road riders. If you are planning a trip to Ladakh on the long, winding roads through the Karakoram range of the Himalayas, Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycle is the one for you.<\/p>\n

4. BMW GS 310 GS<\/h3>\n

\"BMW<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, there is mixed reaction among auto journalists regarding BMW GS 310 and its effectiveness for Indian road conditions. While some believe BMW GS 310 is spot on for touring across India, some believe it could have been better. I believe it is definitely a bike to reckon for touring in India.<\/p>\n

Important features of this bike are 34 bhp @ 9500 rpm, dual channel ABS, upright ergonomic, 1800 mm suspension travel, 19-inch front wheel, 17 inch rear wheel, and premium equipment.
