Royal Enfield Himalayan

First of all, you've got to pick your criteria.

Do you want an Enfield Himalayan or do you want an Enfield Gorilla? Do you want a naked bike? Do you want a sports bike? Do you want a street fighter style? Do you want super motor style? The choice is colossal.

The choice is huge.

That's the other thing too, especially as a new rider.

My first project at Royal Enfield was the electric Himalayan.

If you've seen that at any of the shows, it's the-

I have seen that.

We only ever intended to make a handful of them.

It w- and it was a, a bit of a twofold project.

Partly we wanted to take an electric Himalayan up to the Himalayas, and the other part was we wanted to learn how to make an electric bike.

We'd never done one before, so you need to figure out what all the bits are, how they interact, and, and start working out all, all the boring stuff like what legislation is there around electric bikes.

It'll save you a lot of money in the long run.

Prairie dog, 879 says I've got an EXC 500, but really interested in the new Himalayan 500.

450 for BDR or long pavement runs.

Do I have any info? Your EXC 500.

Well, I think the Himalayan is what we had a guy, we had a guy perch.

There we go.

Yeah.

Go to Rocky Mountain ATV MC, click through the link on dirt bike test, and then we get a little chunk of that money when you're buying parts.

Right.

Oh, we saw absurd numbers of Himalayas.

The one guy had 47,000 miles on his Himalaya, and including, oh, crap.

The

A sounds good.

Himalayan.

Himalayan.

Himalayan.

Yeah, the Himalayan.

You

did,

yes.

now.

And the model is a Himalayan.

So, you know, you put two and two together and you get three and a half.

Absolutely.

my headlight keeps falling apart so i got to order a new one of those

one day i will yeah this is never going to get fixed i've glued that like three times now and it's still broken and then you're himalayan yeah so this is our uh royal enfield himalayan uh which uh is uh probably a bargain when it comes to motorcycles this is about five thousand dollars for a 450 cc dual sport adventure bike uh it's one hell of a bike uh unfortunately i've been so busy driving cars that i haven't had much of a chance to ride it but i do love this motorcycle i not only love the color i'm a big color person as you know but i love the way that it runs and the way that it feels we need to put some off-road tires on it because these are more on-road tires And so that's kind of the downside.

You don't really want to take that into anything.

But, you know, it's a little heavy for a dirt bike.

Cheer us up.

Well, we've got next the Royal Enfield, the new, the Himalayan, as we like to call it.

The Royal Enfield, the Himalayan.

The Himalayan 750, which is the biggest Himalayan yet, and it is getting closer.

So, no, it's not there yet, but it is getting closer.

Royal Enfield is preparing to enter a new chapter in the adventure bike story with the much-anticipated Himalayan 750 getting closer to production.

The new motorcycle has been spotted testing repeatedly including recent sightings in the UK and the latest prototypes appear much closer to the final production specification.

Now, whilst Royal Enfield has not yet released full official specs or confirmed a final launch date, the evidence suggests that the Himalayan 750 could be one of the company's most important new motorbikes in years.
