I think Wapping is right in saying it's really about being a showcase for the designer on what's possible and demonstrating those engineering/design skills. Would you want the bike with the premium the build would entail? It's different and would always be a talking point, but there will always be something faster/more capable 'out of the box' from KTM/Honda/Husqvarna etc.
I like the Himalayan for what it is, not what it could be.
The guys English sounded fine to me, did I miss something?
