Modern adventure touring motorcycles packing a load of power and an equally enormous list of tech features, but the Royal Enfield Himalayan is still a minimalistic and modest ADV that is stupendously comfortable and affordable. It also keeps its ever-customisable disposition. We came across an tastefully modified 2019 Himalayan from Jakarta's Thrive Motorcycle who finsihed it in a Dakar Rally-style custom build.

The commission came from an Indonesian YouTube sensation called Den Dimas. Thrive figured that a Dakar-inspired build would play nicely with the Himalayan’s inherent lines. Up front is a pair of side fairings, designed to tie the Himalayan’s fuel tank and windscreen together. Out back is a one-piece unit that incorporates side panels, a seat pan and a rear fender.

Thrive also designed and 3D-printed new headlight mounts, and added a pair of PIAA spots. There’s also a hidden cover at the rear, to keep debris out of the under-seat area, and a custom-made aluminum license plate bracket. The crew also threw a bunch of their own T/H/R/V catalog parts at the build. The LED turn signals, handlebars, foot pegs and stainless steel exhaust muffler are all proprietary. (Source: Bikeexif)

Thrive knocked the Royal Enfield’s paint out the park too, with a livery inspired by a very special Group B rally car. Thrive splashed Rothmans blue graphics onto the bike, flanked by gold and red pin stripes. Then they finished bits like the rims, top yoke and handlebar risers in gold, giving the bike a proper throwback rally vibe. (Source: Bikeexif)

Dubbed ‘Gemini,’ it’s a fantastic rework that plays to the Himalayan’s strengths. And since Thrive have effectively blueprinted the design, it leaves room for more interesting twists on this theme. (Source: Bikeexif)
