Summary
- The Royal Enfield Bullet 650 retains its classic design with modern updates.
- It features the brand's 647.95cc parallel-twin engine, replacing the iconic thump.
- The motorcycle is built on a steel tubular spine frame for enhanced stability.
Royal Enfield has introduced the Bullet 650, a motorcycle that respects its legendary nine-decade lineage while embracing modern engineering. The design remains instantly familiar, featuring the classic long tank, upright stance, and weighty metal construction. Subtle updates, such as the LED casquette headlamp and wider bench seat, enhance its regal presence.
The most substantial change lies within: the iconic single-cylinder thump gives way to Royal Enfield's 647.95cc parallel-twin engine. This new powerplant delivers 34.6 kW and 52.3 Nm, offering significantly more performance and a smoother, deeper exhaust note suitable for effortless long-distance cruising.
Complementing the new engine is a steel tubular spine frame, a 43 mm telescopic fork, and twin rear shocks, tuned for comfort and stability. The Bullet 650 also boasts modern braking with dual-channel ABS and a practical cockpit featuring an analogue speedometer and a compact LCD panel with a USB-C port, ensuring this timeless icon continues its journey with a new heartbeat.
