We had a ball on this bike when it was released in 2017. We loved the simplicity and how it seemed to be all about the fun. Now with EFI and ABS, it’s every bit as enjoyable, with maybe just a small nod to the modern world.
The Himalayan is all about just getting out there and living life to the full.
It was in issue #24 we rode the first Himalayan in and around the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, and we made no secret of how much we enjoyed the bike. For sure Royal Enfield Australia turned on a stellar launch with incredible riding and amazing catering, but as we said at the time, it seemed to us that’s what the Himalayan was all about – just getting out there with some great people and living life to the full. It might be worth readers going to back to that issue and reviewing our impressions, because they’ll nearly all apply to the EFI bike.
