The new RE 452 is radically different than the current model. I think they're going to triple their sales of the Himalyan. It's a better bike in every way.

I really like Trails and the clones, I just want a bigger motor. With my 208lbs plus camping gear the Hondas get overwhelmed pretty quickly. I imagine it'll be the same with the clones. Even 200cc...
