Royal Enfield Himalayan

I've just returned from a trip around Southern India on a hired RE Himi 450. Took me a while to find a suitable place to hire a motorbike without restrictions on mileage or states visited. In the end, I went with the rental shop, hiring the motorbike only for a solo trip. They offered me a Himi 450 with only 5k km on the clock, well prepared and in pretty much new condition, and critically, with no limit on mileage and states visited. Their prices are higher than you can find elsewhere (with single state / mileage limits), but I found them to be reasonable for what they offer. Advance booking and communication / information in advance was top class, as was the service and support when I arrived to collect the motorbike. Thanks to the staff for helping to make this trip a reality in this beautiful and fascinating part of the world! Namaste!

My brother-in-law and I rented two Royal Enfield Bullet 500s for a 9 day trip around Kerala. Communication with the rental shop was superb, with quick answers to questions and help in terms of what motorbike to rent plus extras such as luggage racks, etc. We had a great trip and the motorbikes were perfect. One of them had a minor problem towards the end of the trip and this was sorted quickly with a replacement motorbike being delivered and the original collected. After this trip I stayed in Kerala for another month, renting a scooter for the trip. It was brand new, very reasonably priced and worked perfectly for me. I have no hesitation in recommending the rental shop to anyone else and I would certainly rent from them again.

I rented a Royal Enfield 500cc Bullet from the rental shop and out of the 9 motorbikes I hired on my 2 month trip to India, this was easily one of the very best. I wanted a motorbike that was well maintained and this strapline on the rental shop website caught my attention: 'INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LOVINGLY MAINTAINED BIKES (each with their own name)'. The above was absolutely accurate! The motorbike was really well maintained and even with 38k kilometres on the clock, it didn't use any oil, and everything (lights, indicators, brake lights, mirrors) worked perfectly. I think I did about 1,600 kilometres in the 2 weeks that I had the motorbike and it never missed a beat. Totally,... utterly reliable! The other bonus as you'll see from the photographs, was that the motorbike came with really solid paniers that looked like they were built in Kochin Shipyard :-) There was more than enough room to safely attach all of our luggage, and the 500cc engine had more than enough power even when fully loaded. All in all, great value for money and a really great customer experience with the rental shop. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and professional,... and a pleasure to deal with. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We rented a Royal Enfield from Niaz for a month - picking the motorbike up was easy, the motorbike was great and it was the best month!! We also rented the panniers which were a good size. Just want to say a BIG thank you to Niaz for helping make our trip in South India an incredible one

I have just completed a 12-day Guided Luxury Motorcycle Tour with KBT. After a poor start, the experience improved right through to a beautiful conclusion. Niaz, who is the partner of Danny (who we saw briefly at the start), led just myself & my friend Trevor, both from England. We stayed in some wonderful places & the route was mostly scenic & appropriate for intermediate motorcyclists. Niaz & the support vehicle driver/mechanic Siraj were great support & we all ate together most days. On the downside, the hotel for the first night was the least salubrious, but I believe KBT is planning to change that venue. Also, this time of year temperatures rose to the high thirties which was ahem, somewhat fatiguing! This was our third motorcycling in India & undoubtedly the best. I highly recommend KBT, but we could perhaps choose a better time weather-wise.
