This adventure tourer motorcycle is priced at 6,990 Australian Dollar and the company also offers a 24 month long roadside assistance. Himalayan is powered by a powerful LS400, single cylinder 410cc oil-cooled engine, which delivers a maximum power of 25 bhp and a peak torque of 32Nm. This engine uses a 5-speed gearbox to transfer this power to rear wheels. This bike is built with a chassis designed by Harris Performance Parts. It also uses a rear mono-shock suspension for smooth and effortless driving in all terrains. Both the suspension have a long travel and it features 21 inch wheel in the front and 19 inch wheel at the rear. Both the tyres are meant for off-roading.
Like the Indian version this one also have some electronic gauges like speedometer, tachometer, odometer, altimeter and a compass. RE claims a regular service intervals at every 10,000 kms and they recommend spark plug changes at 25,000km.
Himalayan could be a good player from RE in Australia as it would fits in every pocket with this affordable price tag. The other entry-level adventure bikes on the fields are Benelli 600 GT, Kawasaki Versys 650, Triumph Tiger 800 and Suzuki V-Storm. All these would priced higher than Himalayan. So, this Enfield could be the cheapest adventure-tourer available in Australia.
