Royal Enfield Classic 650 First Look Video | Is It The Bigger Classic That We Have Been Waiting For?

Royal Enfield’s head, Siddhartha Vikram Lal, promised a year to celebrate the Classic, and they’ve done it in style by launching the largest Classic yet, the Royal Enfield Classic 650! Inspired by timeless designs, the Classic 650 maintains that beloved retro feel while packing modern upgrades that fans have come to expect. So, what exactly does this beauty bring to the table?
Iconic Design, Modern Power

The Classic 650 pays homage to Royal Enfield’s heritage with iconic design elements, including the distinctive round headlight, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, chrome touches, and floating rider seat with an optional pillion seat for a perfect blend of classic and contemporary. Available in four shades, including the retro-inspired Teal from the Classic 500, it’s sure to turn heads.

Simplistic Features for a Pure Retro Feel
Staying true to its roots, the Classic 650 avoids heavy tech. While it does have LED headlights and taillights, bulb indicators and a classic analogue speedometer with a minimal digital readout maintains the vintage appeal.

Adjustable levers, a USB charging port, and a classic 648cc engine delivering 46.4 BHP and 52.3 NM of torque make for a powerful ride. Its exhaust tone has been uniquely tuned to provide a distinct experience compared to its siblings, the Shotgun and Super Meteor 650.

Heavy Metal: Built to Last
Tipping the scales as the heaviest Royal Enfield, this bike is solid metal and slightly heftier than the Super Meteor 650. A 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel, both wrapped in special MRF tyres, offer stability on the road. With a dual-cradle frame, tweaked steering geometry, 320mm front, and 300mm rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS, it's built for durability and safety.

Riding Experience Awaited
While it may share specs with the Shotgun 650, the Classic’s feel is entirely different, offering a heavier, steadier riding experience. Look for this model in early 2025, with the first test rides expected soon after.

The teal one looks absolutely gorgeous! The switch cubes look like they are polished.

You guys made my day. Finally, a clear preview of the best looking Royal Enfield till date. Btw, I disagree on the speedometer part that you mentioned. This one does have the perfect classic looking center aligned integrated speedometer as it should be. I hate the left aligned spedos found on the shotgun and the Super Meteor. For me thats a deal breaker. Anyways, Thank you so much for the preview.

RE has everything covered now with the BEAR 650, the CLASSIC 650 and now even the electric FLEA.
What a great company for the RETRO consumer market. If count can't find it here, you must be blind.

Love the Teal colour absolutely beautiful 😊😊😊

[BudgetCarnivore]

They should price this close to goldstar 650 not the shotgun cuz no usd forks or alloys

[prasunbose]

They could have used the twin round meters as in the Continental GT. Also an all LED setup including the indicators are a sure misout.

[Anaswar]

Totally disagree with you on adding “tech” on this motorcycle. Remember, this is a motorcycle that people like to service/fix themselves abroad. Simple is better.

[mrlg]

they ruined the 650 classic as well, just like 350, thats a bloody short leg fat crusier unlike the old classic 350 which was a roadster

[arijitchief]

ugly colors except black/chrome...where's the chrome and red that we're missing from the latest Classic 350 lineup?
plus someone has to immediately change those stiff rear shocks to the Classic 350 shocks ... also what kind of kerb weight is that? i was waiting for a classic retro for my pillion/city use, but the BSA looks like a much better proposition...much lighter and faster...
