30bhp from a 410cc motor should mean around 50bhp from a 750 based off the same design. That would be much goodness on tap sitting in a GT or maybe a new Interceptor.

Well I'm glad to hear it. I've booked first shot at my local dealer as soon as a demo is available.

Seem to be lots of changes from the "vintage" styling, but I'm curious enough to give one a test ride...if some make it to the U.S.

Haven't all the other reports claimed 24 bhp?
Where did this "around 30bhp" figure come from? This is the only article that I have seen that figure in.

It's a pitch.  Some lawyer said they could round up(incorrectly) to make it sound more impressive. So is there an MSRP on it yet?

The video introduction spiel said that the Himalayan price would be announced sometime around mid-March. (Although I got the impression that they were a little unsure about that date.) But that price will only be for India as there are no plans at this time to market the bike outside the country.
