I was almost tempted by RE's a couple times, but they are heavy and the classic style ones generally attract the wrong sort of clientele, like a Leica Rangefinder meet.
RE Himalayan is an odd duck. Lacklustre in almost every way, but if you want that affordable comfortable slow bike that just does what it does - like the person who's worked on checkouts for the last 20 years - it's the bike for you.
I'd definitely consider the Scram version, which does away with all the faux adventure crap in lieu of slightly more attractive scrambler bits.
Talking of scramblers....
