As many of you might know, my personal lord and savior is Royal Enfield’s Himalayan 450. It is perhaps the best motorcycle on sale today, as it’s not only wildly capable, but it’s inexpensive and stupid easy to fix along a muddy trail high in the mountains. It’s my cuppa, if you’ll allow me to use the parlance.  

But Royal Enfield has seen an insane reinvigoration as of recent years thanks to Eicher Motors, the folks who own the nameplate. And the marque has been steadily pumping out motorcycle after motorcycle to build up a lineup of what we’ve come to understand as stellar entry-level motorcycles. Bikes for the masses, if you will. And while the Himalayan 450 is, in my opinion, perfect, Royal Enfield ain’t stopping building out the lineup of Himalayan variants.
