The BS6 variants of both the Himalayan and the Classic 350 have been out for a while now, with both updates rolled out in January, but RE have seen it fit to bring in the price increase at this stage. Luckily, it isn’t too drastic a hike and most customers would probably swallow the hit without too much of a grumble.
