Bike Review Australia | Royal Enfield Bear 650, First Look, From The World Launch in California!

We have just attended the global launch of the new 2025 Royal Enfield Bear 650, held at Palm Springs, California, USA. There is an embargo on ride reviews until November 5, so we have compiled the tech overview of the bike for you here with our Editor Jeff Ware's video straight from the launch.

We have no Aussie pricing yet.

This is definitely my next bike, Royal Enfield over the last few years have stolen my heart for Motorcycles, I just love them .

Before this I thought scram 400x was the best looking but now I think RE has done a good job

[bingo]

WoW, what a bike ! Beautiful and versatile, great review, great music, great shots ! Thanks a lot !

The green frame/white tank looks fabulous

I own a gt650 and absoloutely love these air cooled beasts esp with a set of diablo pipes🎶These are built to ride it like you stole it. Sooo much fun and stunning looking machines

I used to find interceptor a little small, this one looks perfect.

[Beer_goggles]

finally an aussie review, nice work mate, looks like their best bike release so far

[sanatandharma]

I love my Scram 411, it's right for me. However, I will take a look at this when it's in Spain.

Some great detail there Jeff. Nice job. I hope the cat box unbolts from the headers.

[deltabluesdavidraye]

This is the best RE 650 yet and the best all round bike out there, besting the regular Interceptor.

Similar $$ to the Shotgun and Super Meteor do we think? This is definitely the version I've been waiting for, hopefully it'll reach NZ showrooms before the end of the summer...

Would love this as a second bike in the garage

[jeeves]

Damn, the styling is perfect, that shot with them all together could have come straight out of "On any Sunday".
Late 60's desert scrambler personified.
I might just be interested in a new bike for the first time in quite awhile.
Anyone wanna buy a W800?

[anricosangma]

The only problem is front mudguard I think. It could hv been better if it is little bit upper side. Mud would stuck which might damage the guard while offroading otherwise all good.

[nickbasiliou]

It actually looks like a good scrambler

[garyives]

Smart enough to not use hideous gold fork finish on every bike, but just one.

[Jaferluqman]

Royal Enfield Motorcycles is a win win situation now Eicher Motors should be on next phase that is Eicher Motorcycles and Scooters to change the way the world Motorcycles.

[kentoxymoron]

Looks great, but I guess no centre stand?

[whammo]

It would have been nice to hear how it sounds!
