Re: 'RE Himalayan
I'm far more impressed by their new 650 - that looks nearly as good as a Kawasaki W650.

Re: 'RE Himalayan
It looks more like the old Royal Enfield 700 twins, Constellation etc. I wonder if it's OHC or pushrod.

Re: 'RE Himalayan
Sat on a Hymilayer but never heard one run,
have worked on a few RE's and ridden a few
brakes are good, and they handle fine usually
comfy where they struggle a bit is the electrics
wiring and switchgear is not the best good on
fuel strange thing happen now and then, a bracket
will snap for no good reason they are like a old brit
were you have to have a bit of involvement, my
feeling is they are a 55mph bike don't get me wrong
they are a nice way of bimbling round the lanes but
if you want to press a button and run in the outside
lane of the M-way I personally would not buy one, it's
just horses for courses, how much of this will apply to
the Himalayan I dont know but the price seems right.
