My love for Royal Enfield's Himalayan 450 adventure motorcycle is pretty well-established at this point. In fact, I gave it an award a year or so ago, and really haven't stopped thinking about it since. The out-of-the-box capability of this motorcycle, coupled with its introductory price point, well, that just makes it one of the best motorcycles of all time.
And if you think I'm being hyperbolic, go read the torture test I put it through on my first ride review. Jumps were slayed, rivers were conquered, and I legit fixed it with a stick after binning it out of a mud puddle that was a good foot-plus deep. It's an amazing machine straight from the factory.
As with all things, however, you can better it. And one dealership out of the United Kingdom thinks it has the best-ever Himalayan 450 around, and will now sell it to the public. Say hello to Cooperb Motorcycles' "Phantom" Himalayan. All right, the name sounds rad, but the spec sheet really seems to imply this could be the best around.
