Royal Enfield are apparently close to finalising their new "Adventure" bike - the Himalayan.
Free from all the bells and whistles that the big manufacturers deem necessary to fit to their own "adventure" bikes, the Himalayan looks like it's going back to basics.
Full story from visordown, but the essence is a bike powered by an air-cooled single, believed to be around 410cc and making about 28bhp, which is bolted to a simple steel frame, it’s not a high-performance machine. But it does look like an immensely practical one, with a design that values simplicity above all else. Best guess on price - about £3,500.
