The Royal Enfield Himalayan has many fans around the world, and with good reason. It’s a capable, characterful, and very reasonably priced middleweight adventure tourer. What’s not to love? Well, there is one thing that many riders say about it after riding it for a while. The thing is, while a lot of people love that bike, a lot of people also wish it had just a little more power. A tiny bit, mind. Not too much.
While the motorcycle world does love a good rumor, that’s clearly why everyone (ourselves certainly included) has been so excited about the possibility of an upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. Now, to be completely clear, as of April 19, 2022, Enfield itself hasn’t made any official announcements about this bike. Therefore, everything we say here is speculation and/or observations gleaned from spy photos and video that have trickled out over the past few months, and should be taken with several grains of salt.
