Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: Four New Colours, Fresh Sightings and a Bigger Adventure on the Horizon?

Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: Is the Bigger Adventure Nearly Here?

Well, well, well. Look what appears to be getting closer to becoming a reality!

If you've been following the rumours surrounding the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750, you'll know this isn't exactly a new conversation. There's been talk of a bigger Himalayan for quite some time, and we've certainly wondered what Royal Enfield might have up its sleeve.

But things are starting to get a little more interesting.

Fresh sightings of what is believed to be the upcoming Himalayan 750 have appeared, and this time we're not just looking at a heavily disguised motorcycle covered in camouflage and mystery.

We're seeing what appear to be different colour schemes, more of the motorcycle's design and some interesting details that suggest Royal Enfield could be getting closer to showing us the finished article.

Now, before anyone starts reaching for their wallet, let's be clear. Royal Enfield hasn't officially confirmed all the details, so there's still plenty we don't know.

But that doesn't mean we can't have a good look and a bit of a chat about it, does it?

Four Colours and a Much Better Look

One of the most interesting things about these latest sightings is that four different colourways have reportedly been spotted during testing in India.

And judging by the pictures, Royal Enfield might be having a little fun with the styling.

We've seen a striking light-coloured version with bold red, orange and yellow graphics, a more understated brown and grey combination, and a red and dark-coloured version that looks rather smart too.

There's also a fourth reported colourway, giving us a little more to speculate about while we wait for official information.

Of course, these are test motorcycles, so there's no guarantee that every colour will make it into production.

But it's nice to see something other than the usual black motorcycle covered in enough camouflage to hide a small caravan.

And if these colours do make it into the showrooms, which one would you choose?

Could the Himalayan 750 Be Getting Ready for Its Big Reveal?

Here's where things get interesting.

The motorcycles have reportedly been spotted in Malari, Uttarakhand, India, wearing different colour schemes rather than the usual heavy disguises.

There have also been reports suggesting that the motorcycles were involved in photography activity.

Now, that doesn't automatically mean a launch is happening tomorrow, but it certainly gives us something to think about.

With EICMA 2026 taking place in Milan from 3 November, there's naturally speculation that Royal Enfield could use the event to reveal more about its next adventure motorcycle.

Will we see the Himalayan 750 there? Possibly. But until Royal Enfield makes an official announcement, we'll have to keep our fingers crossed.

And perhaps keep a little space free in the garage. Just in case.

A Bigger Himalayan With a Twin-Cylinder Engine?

Now for the part that's probably got quite a few riders interested.

The engine.

The current Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 has already shown that the Himalayan name can offer something quite different from the original model.

But a 750 could take things in another direction entirely.

From what's been reported and what can be seen in the latest pictures, the new motorcycle appears to feature a twin-cylinder engine.

There's speculation that it could be developed from Royal Enfield's existing 650cc twin-cylinder platform, although nothing has been officially confirmed.

Some early reports have suggested power figures somewhere around 59 to 60bhp.

That would be an interesting step up from the existing 650 twins, which produce around 47bhp.

But let's not get too carried away with numbers just yet. Until Royal Enfield releases the proper specifications, those figures remain estimates rather than facts.

Still, the idea of a larger twin-cylinder Himalayan is certainly appealing.

Especially if you're the sort of rider who enjoys loading up the bike, disappearing for a weekend and somehow returning with twice as much luggage as you left with.

What Else Have We Spotted?

It's not just the engine that's attracting attention.

The latest pictures appear to show a few interesting details about the new Himalayan's setup.

One of the reported motorcycles features alloy wheels, while another appears to use cross-spoke wheels.

That could suggest Royal Enfield is experimenting with different versions or configurations, although we'll have to wait to find out whether both options will be available to buyers.

There's also talk of a 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel combination.

If confirmed, that would be an interesting choice for a motorcycle carrying the Himalayan name.

For comparison, the Himalayan 450 uses a larger 21-inch front wheel, which suits its off-road adventure character.

A smaller front wheel on the 750 could point towards a motorcycle designed with a stronger emphasis on road riding, touring and longer journeys.

That's only an interpretation of what we've seen so far, though, not an official statement about what the bike is designed to do.

We can also see a tall windscreen, adventure-style bodywork, a distinctive headlight arrangement and what appears to be a comfortable, stepped seat.

It certainly looks ready for a few miles.

Or a quick Sunday ride that somehow turns into an entire day out because somebody said, "We'll just take the scenic route."

Himalayan 450 or Himalayan 750: Would Bigger Be Better?

Now here's a question worth asking.

Does the Himalayan actually need to be bigger?

The Himalayan 450 has its own appeal. It's an adventure motorcycle that offers a balance between everyday riding, exploring country lanes and heading off the beaten track.

But not every rider wants exactly the same thing.

Some riders might love the idea of a Himalayan with a bit more power, particularly for motorway journeys, riding with a pillion or travelling with luggage.

Others might prefer the smaller bike, especially when the roads get narrow, the surface gets rough or the motorcycle needs picking up after an unfortunate meeting with the scenery.

And let's face it, nobody enjoys picking up a fully loaded adventure bike. Particularly when your mates are standing nearby offering absolutely no help whatsoever.

The big question will be how much the 750 weighs, how it handles and whether it manages to keep that approachable Himalayan character.

Because more power is lovely, but it isn't everything.

A good adventure motorcycle needs to be enjoyable to ride, comfortable over distance and capable of putting a smile on your face.

Sometimes the best bike isn't the biggest or the fastest. It's the one that makes you want to keep riding long after you were supposed to be home.

Could This Be Royal Enfield's Next Big Adventure?

Royal Enfield has been steadily expanding its motorcycle range, and the possibility of a larger-capacity adventure bike is certainly an exciting prospect.

A Himalayan 750 could appeal to riders who already enjoy the brand but want something with a little more touring ability and performance.

It could also introduce Royal Enfield to riders who haven't previously considered one of its adventure motorcycles.

But there are still some important questions.

How much will it weigh?

What will the final power output be?

What equipment will come as standard?

And perhaps the question everybody eventually asks, how much is it going to cost?

At the moment, there's no confirmed UK price, final specification or official UK arrival date for us to share.

So anyone claiming to know exactly what you'll be getting for your money is getting a little ahead of themselves.

We're excited, but we're not polishing the crystal ball just yet.

So, Is the Himalayan 750 Worth Getting Excited About?

We certainly think it's worth keeping an eye on.

The latest sightings have given us a much clearer idea of what Royal Enfield could be preparing, and the possibility of a twin-cylinder Himalayan is enough to get plenty of adventure riders talking.

The different colour schemes are interesting, the styling looks promising and the idea of a bigger Himalayan could make a lot of sense for riders who spend more time touring.

But there's still a difference between an exciting motorcycle spotted during testing and a finished motorcycle sitting in a showroom.

Until Royal Enfield reveals the full details, we're keeping our expectations sensible.

Well, mostly sensible.

It is a new motorcycle, after all.

Over to You: Would You Ride a Himalayan 750?

We'd love to know what you think.

Would you swap your Himalayan 450 for a bigger twin-cylinder version?

Do you like the colour schemes we've seen so far, or would you prefer something a little more traditional?

And do you think Royal Enfield should focus on making the Himalayan more powerful, or is keeping it simple and manageable part of what makes it such a good motorcycle?

There's certainly plenty to discuss, and we're interested to hear what actual riders think rather than just looking at numbers on paper.

We'll be keeping an eye out for official announcements and sharing more when there's something confirmed to talk about.

In the meantime, if you're interested in the Royal Enfield range, you're always welcome to pop into CMS Motorcycles in Exeter for a look around and a chat.
