Royal Enfield Bullet 650 uses the familiar 647.95 cc parallel-twin motor kicking out 47 hp and 52.3 Nm of peak torque
The Royal Enfield Bullet nameplate has made a definitive move up the pecking order as it has now joined the flagship line of 650 cc motorcycles. Revealed to Indian audiences at MotoVerse 2025 following its global debut at EICMA in Milan, the Bullet 650 will slot right below the Classic 650 Twin and is expected to be launched soon in the domestic market.
Visually, it’s as traditional as they come, and that’s clearly the idea. The wide, round tank carries classic hand-lined pinstripes, the chrome-finished mudguards mirror old Bullets and the trademark pilot lamps sit up front. Even with LED lighting hardware being used across the motorcycle, Royal Enfield has made sure the glow, shapes and detailing stick close to the original model.
Powering it is the familiar 647.95 cc parallel-twin motor seen across the brand’s larger lineup. With 47 horsepower and 52.3 Nm on tap, this isn’t a performance-based machine. Instead, the tuning favours smooth roll-on torque and relaxed cruising as it targets riders seeking a touring machine. The six-speed transmission with a slipper clutch should make it more refined than any Bullet that’s come before it especially on highways.
The chassis setup also sticks to the brand’s old-school philosophy. A steel twin-downtube frame holds conventional telescopic forks at the front with 120 mm of travel while the rear gets twin shock absorbers offering 90 mm. Wheel sizes remain classic too with a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear – keeping the stance tall and planted on the road.
Braking duties of the Royal Enfield Bullet 650 are handled by a 320 mm front disc and a 300 mm rear unit – backed by a dual-channel ABS system as standard. Tyres measure 100/90 up front and 140/70 at the rear which should offer better stability than the narrower profiles seen on the smaller Bullet. It tips the scales at 243 kilograms and stretches over 2.3 metres in length.
Ground clearance stands at 154 mm, seat height is pegged at 800 mm and the fuel tank can hold 14.8 litres. In overseas markets like the USA and UK, it has already been launched in shades like Cannon Black and Battleship Blue and these same colours will be available in India too. India pricing is still under wraps but given Royal Enfield’s local manufacturing advantage, it could cost around Rs. 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom).
