In some aspects, these two bikes are pretty similar, but without looking too far based on some superficial description, it's somewhat easy to determine that the Royal Enfield Himalayan is at least some steps above the Yezdi Adventure.

This conclusion is based on two main facts: The Royal Enfield Himalayan is almost twice the cost of a Yezdi adventure, and for some part, even if it leaves some to be desired in terms of the finishes, it does show more experience and attention to detail. Also, there is a big difference between both engines, with Royal Enfield’s being 60cc bigger.

Both motorcycles can be part of the small adventure category, but by looking at the specs, and the fact that Yezdi just restarted operations, the Himalayan has a head start. This bike can offer a better adventure experience due to its bigger engine, and because Royal Enfield is better positioned in the market, it can be easier to find assistance and spare parts.

The Yezdi Adventure has an interesting quirk. When we compare the fuel tank size, we can see that the Himalayan has a smaller tank, but with a bigger engine. This can be an advantage in performance because it’s less weight to carry

When it comes to the Yezdi Adventure, a smaller engine but a bigger tank can result in a better autonomy of fuel. Both these bikes share similar physical and aesthetic properties, and at the end of the road, they carry a similar engine and setup. Both these bikes are affordable and have their downsides, so it might just come down to your needs and budget.
