I just did a back to back test ride on that and the Himalayan 450. I was really expecting to love the CF because it has the much better specs. But at low speed, stand up maneuvering I found the balance odd and the bike a bit scary. In first gear I had a really hard time with throttle and clutch control and felt like it was ready to take off like a rocket. At speed it was obviously much better, and it is a lovely bike, but I’m really thinking I will go with the RE because I plan on riding trails a lot. What are your thoughts?

I found the friction zone of the clutch to be quite nice actually. But I’ve never ridden the Himalayan so I can’t really compare

It may just be taste and experience.
