Is the higher spec Himalayan 450 going to lose the affordability that drew so many riders to the original?

One of the main reasons why the original Himalayan was able to be so successful was its affordability; it made adventure motorcycling economically viable for a much bigger group of riders, all over the world, especially in markets such as India. The new Himalayan 450 features a more powerful engine, improved suspension and modern electronics. These improvements are welcome, but inevitably come at a cost. Fans of the brand fear the new model will price itself out of the realm of the average rider who was attracted to the original's value proposition. The Himalayan 450 could very well end up in a different market than what it's in now, competing with more premium offerings and possibly losing its place as the 'people's adventure bike.' Achieving that balance between improved performance and affordability is a fine line, and it’s resulted in discussions about where Royal Enfield should go with its adventure lineup.

Definitely. Higher prices always come with better specs. It’s going out of fashion.
