Which bike is this?

Been riding out of Goa for the last 4 years. I’m on a Royal Enfield Himalayan 411. Not the fastest bike but very reliable for long rides and bad roads.

Most of my weekend rides are Goa to Gokarna, Chorla Ghat, Amboli, and sometimes till Karwar. Chorla early morning is my go to. Less traffic, good curves, and cool weather. Roads are decent but patches keep changing after monsoon so you have to stay alert.

For longer trips I did Goa to Hampi and Goa to Munnar. Himalayan handles broken roads well and the upright posture helps on 6 to 8 hour rides. Stock seat is okay but I added a gel seat for comfort.

Fuel range I usually get around 28 to 30 kmpl on highways. I plan fuel stops every 250 km to stay safe. Carrying a 5L jerry can helped once on the Hampi route.

Gear I use:

- Full face helmet MT Thunder 3
- Rynox jacket with level 2 protection
- Raida gloves
- Basic knee guards
- Good riding boots make a big difference on long rides

Which location is this dude? Looks amazing.
