My lord and savior is, obviously, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. The small-displacement adventure motorcycle absolutely wowed me last year, and I haven't stopped thinking about it ever since that day, as I crossed multiple rivers, stomped through thigh-deep mud puddles, and railed through pristine canyons as if they were nothing.
Yet, despite its all-new everything, including its new 450 engine, the Himalayan still represents the past in its visage. It's still a gasoline-powered motorcycle. A good one, perhaps even the best in my mind, but it's a technological remnant, and Royal Enfield is looking toward the future, and that future is electric.
