Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan Unveiled!

All I'm happy about Enfield Himalayan launch is that I'm getting new spares for my Impulse ! (Ceat grip XL will be easily available now and rims too)

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan Unveiled!

Hey all...

Although i have nothing productive to contribute here YET but for some reason i feel this urge to rant...

I am planning to go to RE showroom today to get a good look. I loved the previous pics.
I am not a RE fan and i hate youngsters doing that loud firing noises on bullets..... Feel like putting cement in those exhausts !!

I dont own a RE yet but i have always longed for one. I have ridden them on numerous occasions including the CGT for about 600-1k kms. (Never once i was stranded but must have faced starting issues in almost all of them every now and then - eventually they did come to life but only after sucking the life force out of ME... ?! )

But i do want to admit that there is sonething about a RE which you cant find in any other genre/brand bikes. I can't put a fingure on it.
If ever i have a surplus 2lakhs then i would most definitely buy one.... !!

My complaint so far is only that these bikes cant touch/cruise triple digit speeds at will with the rider in full confidence.

Anyways as first ride reports tells us that the 'Thump' would be missing in this avatar so i believe a dedicated/sensible set of bikers would be taking the plunge only and not every other poser.

Let's see how different is the Himalayan saga......

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan Unveiled!

Although the bike has been on display in the northern part of the country, i have tried to see if any showroom has got the vehicle at least in their inventory in Bangalore. I tried HSR, Mahadevapura and Kalyannagar showrooms but they still do not have it in their backyard.

Has anyone seen the machine in Bangalore showrooms?

Re: Royal Enfield Himalayan Unveiled!

Any updates on the on road prices from re?
