I've ridden a few Royal Enfields.
Opinion: the Himalayan is a toy. It's seriously underpowered compared with other available modern 300-400cc bikes. Nice enough if you want to putter around local gravel roads and smooth two-track trails.
The 650 Interceptor is a cool retro bike. Again, much more power available with modern Japanese 650's. I've owned plenty of "retro" bikes before they were retro. I prefer new & modern.
