The Royal Enfield Himalayan is an odd design. the company says that while it wanted to do an adventure tourer.
I have to mention here that the motorcycle looks a lot better up close and in the flesh than in the pictures, there are angles from which the Himalayan looks awkward or disproportionate.
But by and large, it’s a handsome, spartan motorcycle that looks like a tool or a machine rather than the fancy, plastic-covered gargantua that pass for adventure tourers today, the details in the design that stands out for me are easy to spot.
I like the idea of the frame that mounts on a crossbar under the tank and carries the weight of the headlight, I also like the little rack for gear on the back.
As you know the LS410 named engine in the Royal Enfield Himalayan is all-new. But it most certainly doesn’t feel like a new engine. I’m not sure if Royal Enfield engineered it like this, but it feels more like an improved current engine than a brand-new one, On the plus side, the 24.5PS LS410 is a counterbalancer-equipped engine, Economy? No surprises.
