Royal Enfield is working on an all-new 750cc motorcycle, which is likely to be called Interceptor 750. It was speculated that the company will use this 750cc engine in the bigger Himalayan. Now, it has been confirmed that the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 adventure tourer is in the works. This was confirmed by the CEO of Eicher (the parent company of Royal Enfield), Mr. Siddharth Lal during an interview to Alan Cathcart, a well-known journalist at Motorcycle Magazine.
The bigger engined Himalayan is likely to be powered by a newly developed parallel twin 750cc engine, which will be offered in the Interceptor 750. It is expected that the new motorcycles could be unveiled at the 2017 EICMA (Milan Motor Show) in November. The new 750cc parallel twin-cylinder engine will be the most powerful ever produced by Royal Enfield and is expected to produce close to 45-50bhp of power and around 60Nm of torque. A five-speed manual gearbox will be offered as a standard.
The engine will also come with fuel injection system. Similar to the LS410 engine of the Himalayan, the new engine could use a combination of air and oil cooling. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will get a revised chassis to accommodate bigger engine. It is expected to be slightly bigger in terms of proportions and bit heavier than the outgoing 410cc model. The 750cc motorcycle is expected to have a better build quality; however, design is likely to remain the same. Also See – 2017 Royal Enfield Himalayan BSIV model price, specs, features

Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Design
The 750cc Himalayan will look similar to the smaller sibling. Though, the company could make subtle design changes to make it look appealing. The bike will have a raw and sporty appeal. This model has been designed on a modified single tube chassis that also underpins the other RE bikes. However, the chassis will be modified to accommodate bigger sized engine. This will also bring in dimension changes. The bike will continue to feature round headlight, signature RE badge on side cowl, high-mounted spatter guard, raised rear seat, digital MID, up-swept exhaust and twin-pot instrument cluster with chrome ring. Like the existing Himalayan, the new 750cc Himalayan is expected to feature large 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels shod with off-road tyres.
