The short video shows the motorcycle parked in rough terrain up in the Himalayas while the words “built by the Himalayas” flash on the screen. As seen from previous undisguised spy shots, the 452 retains the basic shape of the current Himalayan though little else is common between the two. The new bike is built around a new chassis with the engine as a stressed member. The image also reveals the redesigned fuel tank and high-set front fender along with elements such as the new pannier stays, split seat and some of the tank graphics.
