Royal Enfield Himalayan, an all-around look

When Royal Enfield launched its Himalayan adventure motorcycle Feb. 2, Aditya Phadke of Motonomous advertising agency in Mumbai manged to get an hour alone with the motorcycle.

"Though I didn't get to ride the Himalayan, I was able to shoot a 360 spin video, showcasing the bike in great detail," he wrote me.

His "spin" is an amusing and blessedly fast paced look that tells you most of what you need to know about the Himalayan.

Meanwhile, Royal Enfield itself posted a fun, steerable 360 ride video that gives a bit of the feel of riding a washed-out road on the Himalayan. You can't see the motorcycle very well, but you can almost feel the bumps.
