Royal Enfield Himalayan
This time we are not going to speak about a place but our most recent motorbike: The Royal Enfield Himalayan is an Indian-made motorcycle fabricated by the Indian company Royal Enfield. This company has been in the business since 67 years ago. They were part of the Enfield Cycle Company, which was based in England.
Now they are part of another Indian automotive company called Eicher Motors Limited.
Royal Enfield has maintained for decades their classic design while keeping a very competitive price in the motorbike market. India does not have the best roads. Rural underdevelopment, wild weather, and irregular geography make India a country in need of sturdy motorcycles.
Hence the need of making motorcycles that can endure the hard roads and sometimes even the lack of them. This is also the reason that the Himalayan model is the best suited for off-road tours in Costa Rica. It is a motorcycle that gets the job done and it will take you anywhere in the country.
Conclusion
As we mentioned before, the Royal Enfield Himalayan has a very competitive price. This allows Pura Vida Motorbike to rent an efficient and accessible motorcycle for you to travel alone or inside our tours.
Do not hesitate to check the tours, let’s explore Costa Rica, the beaches, the volcanos, the roads, riding the Himalayan motorbike!!
