Hi Jorge - I think a 6 speed gearbox to the current Himalayan and bump the displacement a bit to 500cc. The Hitchcocks big(ger) bore kit aspires to add a few more ponies, and works well. A factory effort should be able to add the missing 89 cc's and 8-10 HP painlessly. Basically same weight/size but enough umph (& gearing) for freeway excursions. The Interceptor already has a 6 speed box, so why not the Himalayan? It's 2020 already, no reason to stick with the long in the tooth 5 speed format.
