    A Bigger Royal Enfield Himalayan Is On Its Way, Says CEO Siddhartha Lal.

    Royal Enfield is working on a higher displacement Himalayan and the confirmation comes from their CEO himself. Siddhartha Lal, CEO of Eicher Motors, in an recent interview, confirmed that Royal Enfield has selected models which will get higher displacement and more powerful versions and the Himalayan is one of those.

      Rather than making it bigger they should concentrate on making it reliable. RE these days are worst when it comes to quality

          Today I have seen royal enfield 750cc near Chennai.. It has a body of a cafe racer and is quite similar to the Continental GT ... Really it's awesome feeling... seeing tht royal enfield with parallel twin engine 😍😍. It is based on the current Continental chassis. And it has conventional telescopic front forks and Paoli dual springs at the rear.

            Good Catch.

            All looks good except for the silencer being projected outwards. It is not so close to bike's body, making it look like a local mechanic job.

                    I am so worried. Their previous 2 launch has been so bad. Conti and the Himalayan failed miserably. Hope it doesn't continue with 750cc. RE needs some serious professional in the quality control department.

                      Likewise!

                      Hoping the quality to be better than their traditional lineup because they will price it higher and have been testing fore three years..but more than ₹4 lakhs it's better to go towards Kawasaki or Triumph.

                        More than 4 LAKHS.. !!
                        I know RE fans are crazy but even then it seems like a big leap of faith.
                        The HD street is a better bet imo.

                        Cheers.

                          Yes exactly! The craziness is not worth more than that, because above that price we can easily opt for more premium Japanese reliability. Though HD is not that reliable at least you get that HD image bragging rights which is obviously better than RE.

                            That is very far from truth!
                            HDs have been in India much longer than other high end brands with consistent lineup. There isn't a reliability problem at all to write about. Although there is no such compiled data , but I recon HDs do much more miles too in the comparable timeframe.
                            In fact high end japs have had considerable trouble in Indian market , even more than Ducati's.

                              HD's are as reliable as any bike out there in any price bracket-one of our local HOG member has run 60k kms on his 2011 model FAT BOY with just routine servicing and maintaince,another has 56k kms on his 2012 883 Roadster,multiple riders have 30k kms plus on their respective machines-it is their reliability and HD's long model retention that HD's have much more sale and resale than the Japs and Eyeties

                                Seems a relaunch of interceptor with an ABS (Switchable would be better) at a price point of around 4.5 Lakhs it would surely hit HD hard...Interceptor used to have 55 BHP with top speed of 190k's.......good enough to bring down bonnie sales as well..........if only engine is refined enough with lesser vibrations with a better EFi!!
                                Hope we see it soon.....
