This ensures that the rumor mill starts to boil, since two new models are suspected behind the names. What it could be, however, is still completely unclear.
Sherpa is not a new name for Royal Enfield, however. Already in the 60s they produced motorcycles with this name, which at that time were driven by a 173cc single-cylinder engine.
Rumors have long been about a smaller Himalayan with 250 cc. Here it would be obvious to call them Himalayan 250. This is what happens with the Bullet, and a completely new name for the “same” motorcycle with a smaller displacement also makes little sense.
