52.0
/ 100
Royal Enfield motorcycles
One Royal Enfield on the books so far: the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, 40 hp, 196 kg wet and €5,950 on the list price, scored 52.0 out of 100 within its class. Oil services fall every 10,000 km, valve checks every 20,000 km, and scheduled servicing works out at roughly €260 per 10,000 km on the workshop rates published with its maintenance guide. One bike is not a ranking, so the head to heads below do the comparing: every rival is scored on the same formula with the same weights, and the maintenance guide carries the full schedule, first service and per-visit costs. More Royal Enfield models join the list as I get through the spec sheets.
