As we reported earlier, RE Himalayan 650 would be sharing the engine with the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650. The 648cc twin-cylinder engine is good for 47HP @ 7250 rpm and 52Nm @ 5250 rpm. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The same engine on the Himalayan 650 is expected to generate a different set of output figures to suit the characteristics of an adventure motorcycle.

The present-generation RE Himalayan is powered by a 411cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected, BS6-compliant engine producing maximum power of 24.3HP @ 6500 rpm and a peak torque of 32 Nm @ 4250 rpm. Talking about the price, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 would be getting an ex-showroom price tag of around INR 3 lakhs while we can expect the motorcycle to launch in India sometime in the year 2023.

In addition to the Himalayan 650, Royal Enfield is reportedly working on a lot of new motorcycles like Meteor 650, Classic 650, Cruiser 650, Hunter 350, Scrambler 350, and also on the all-new 350cc model of Bullet series.
