New Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Joins HIM-E in Khardung La Ride

Following on from the spyshots we covered earlier this week, Royal Enfield has now published images showing the Himalayan 750 and HIM-E electric prototype

Looks like a bored-out 650 twin. Or the 650 bottom end anyway. If so it'll be a heavy bike.

They say the engine will be "spicier". To compete in the sub-900 adv class it'll need at least 80 bhp.. 👀

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is an upcoming adventure motorcycle from Royal Enfield, rumored to feature a 750cc parallel-twin engine, producing around 55-60 bhp. 👀

Do you have to start it with a hammer? :unsure:
Perhaps there'll be one in the tool kit.

They must be using Harley engineers

If only. Harley engineers know how to build liquid-cooled VVT engines making 150 bhp per litre. True, they then fit them into bikes that look like they have been ridden into a wall at speed, but they're not still putting 1950's panhead engines into 2025 bikes. The engines might look traditional Harley but an M8 oil-cooled big V-twin is a completely different beast from a knuckle, pan or ironhead; just as Triumph's 1200 parallel twins are a million miles away from the 1950's Edward Turner twins they're mimicking.
Enfield are using 1960's air-cooled technology. That's fine for puttering single pot retros which are endearing for those seeking an old-school memory trip. When you want to compete with the big boys you need comensurate technology.
At some point Enfield need to develop efficient liquid-cooled modern engines with competitive performance. If they can then pair those with their lower manufacturing costs they could be on to a winner.
