Royal Enfield Himalayan: Official video and pics

Check out Royal Enfield's first foray into the adventure bike market with India's best-known off-road rider
We've known that Royal Enfield has been cooking up an adventure bike for a while now, and they've finally released official photos and video of the bike.
We also know that plenty of Royal Enfields have been ridden up around the Himalayas, but now you'll be able to do it on an adventure bike rather than a street version.
The rider in the video is CS Santosh, the first Indian guy to complete the Dakar and he tells us his thoughts on the new Royal Enfield Himalayan.
Although the Indian manufacturer hasn't released the full technical specifications as yet, we're assuming that the Himalayan will have the same engine specs as the Bullet 500 which we've provided below.
We haven't heard when the bike will likely be on sale here either, but we'll certainly keep you posted. Meanwhile, enjoy the video...
