450 HIMALAYAN BASE

Like the high-altitude Sherpa that inspired it, this engine has the torque to pull you out of a sandy hollow at 5,000 meters above sea level while being able to enjoy the 5-day trip back home afterwards. Compact, lightweight and delivers 40hp through its new 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch.

Ride-by-wire with four riding modes so you can tune the response to suit the terrain and your mood, while in the background the bike delivers smooth fuelling and better fuel economy. Joystick control of the easy-to-use Tripper Dash® lets you control music, calls and messages without your hand leaving the bar and the world’s first full-map navigation on a circular display built with Google Maps Platform.
