For longtime RideApart readers, you'll know my undying love for the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. I've written many a word about the adventure motorcycle and how it may just be the most perfect motorcycle ever made. And yes, I stand by that potentially polarizing statement.
I've also opined about how I wasn't so sure about it needing any more horsepower or grunt when a rumor sprang up that Royal Enfield was building a bigger, badder version with the motorcycle being centered around its 650cc engine. I'm still not sure about that, though we've officially gone from rumor to reality as only a few weeks ago, the brand was spied testing both the big Himalayan and its electrified sibling in its namesake mountains.
But few details were released around those photos that circulated online thanks to Royal Enfield's own CEO, who posted the shots across social media himself. I did my best detective work when those came out, but obviously, we want to know more. And though we still don't have all the details, our man at Royal Enfield, Mark Wells, the brand's Global Head of Product Strategy, recently talked with Motorcycle News about the upcoming 750cc Himmy.
