"Tankbag Is Coming": @royalenfield Design Engineer Spills The Beans On Himalayan 450

"We observed the mistakes of the competition and corrected them in the Himalayan 450", says Antoine Borsik, Senior Design Engineer at ‪@royalenfield‬ , who sketched many concept renders of the bike. In what is probably my favourite interview from this series, Mr Borsik takes us through who this bike is for, what he likes most about it to what Royal Enfield corrected in their bike looking at the competition's mistakes to breaking down the entire bike in concept phase. Fun fact: Mr Borsik, a few years ago, was also involved in the development of the Yamaha Tenere. You can check out his concept designs on his Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/antoine_bor...
