It has been quite some time since we saw any new product by Royal Enfield after the Himalayan except or a few leaks that we saw the new 750cc motorcycle in. The news that we bring to you today comes straight from the CEO of Royal Enfield Siddhartha Lal. Speaking to a renowned Motorcycle journalist Siddhartha confirmed that we will definitely get to see a new Royal Enfield Himalayan with a new 750cc engine that the company is currently developing.
