The Himalayan is finally available with EFI and ABS  in Australia,

"Following a successful launch event completed in beautiful Byron Bay where the new Himalayan ABS EFI was put to test by the countries leading adventure riding press, we are pleased to advise that dealers across the country will receive stock of the all-new Himalayan in coming days.

The new Himalayan features Dual-Channel BOSCH ABS and Mikuni Fuel Injection (EFI) adding new levels of safety and performance to the legendary Himalayan."

why didn't Australia get the fuel injection like in the states originally?

Maybe they got the factory leftovers.

Crowing on about meeting the now mandatory new Australian vehicle requirements. Nice.

Besides, I seem to recall that a good deal of discussion about the Himalayan has been concerned with finding a more elegant means of disabling that ABS for better off-road tractability than just yanking out its fuse. Wake me when they really do their customers a favor by installing an off switch.

That PR flack really needs to renew his or her subscription to Grammarly  before grinding out any more press releases. That "countries leading adventure riding press" should read, "country's leading adventure riding press." The term "legendary Himalayan" also catches the eye. I like those Himis just fine and all, but "legendary"?  That's a bit overblown, don't you think? Hell, I'm pretty sure I've got cans of SpaghettiOs in the cupboard older than that model.

Hmmm...my Curmudgeon Cap is really tight tonight. Too bad it's dark. I could really go for a little screaming at kids on my lawn right now.

Well, I would have to say that the Himalayan Mountains are fairly legendary.

Australia seems to be a place to "dump" older models & spec,  especially the right hand drive cars with non current Euro regardless etc.. and we also sell diesel that is old spec giving a get out for manufacturers to say "here's the old cars as your diesel is shit! Generally on cars we are 12-18mths behind.

Pay attention, Campbell's: "SpaghettiOs - more legendary than even the Royal Enfield Himalyan!"
