Let me begin by saying this — I like the Royal Enfield Himalayan quite a lot. And I say this after having spent ample time in its saddle. From in-city riding to touring on highways, to trailblazing, and even to even a fair bit of off-roading, it does all of it. Besides its all-rounder capabilities, the Himalayan also has a strong and unique character that deviates from how Royal Enfields are typically perceived. All of this makes it an aspirational motorcycle. These are some of the many reasons why the Himalayan is such a desirable machine amongst motorcyclists. So, there shouldn’t be anything that would stop anyone from wanting to buy one, right? Well, that’s not quite the case, say the folks at Royal Enfield.
You see, the Himalayan is a proper adventure motorcycle first, which seconds as a daily workhorse for many who commute to the office on weekdays, and tour on weekends. And while some can manage the 21-inch front wheel and the tall and intimidating stance, many aren’t able to do so, but are fascinated by the Himalayan’s rugged and utilitarian appeal. The latter doesn’t plan to do anything that the Himalayan is originally designed for. For them, the use is chiefly within the city and on the tarmac. And this is exactly where the new Scram 411 steps in. Retaining the rugged and utilitarian looks, the Scram is the urban derivative, or a stripped-down version, of the Himalayan.
