[@koenigsegg1237456789]

this is going to fly everywhere in the world

[@Aerobird23]

Am I the only one whose happy bike is full metal and heavy?

[@GovindYadav-ny5ei]

No brother You are not alone Even I am happy Other brands are giving us half plastic and half metal , I just hate this combination I want everything metal and heavy bike like my current classic 350❤

[@rahulsawant8369]

@Aero I understand what your emphasizing dude, "The raw feel of pure motorcycle."

[@baishya775]

It will fly off the shelves in the UK

[@saswatsnayak102030]

😂

[@LeviJean1021]

No one and I do mean absoloutly no one brings the old school back like Royal Enfield do. Every time I jump on my RE Im instantly taken back in time. Absoloutely priceless times

[@josevi5835]

The blue color scheme is bold and absolutely stunning.

[@Nifilheimur]

10 out of 10 bike for me. Going to buy one in black and chrome

[@Raider_MXD]

Looks absolutely gorgeous

[@abymathew295]

Ohhh mann, that blue color...😍😍😍😍

[@jaswanths4326]

Very thoughtful from Royal Enfield. Now you can fix the bad roads in your area with your own Road Roller 650.

Blame the already crappy indian govt🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@spidboy42]

[@pavyjohal]

This one is more for Western market and not really focused for india domestic market.

[@wasdesai9638]

😂😂😂😂

[@artstar5994]

They get a 10 on style and affordability! What a gorgeous bike!

[@blackskunk54]

As someone coming from 1954 the Teal one is so retro, its gorgeous, reminds me of my RE Crusader Sports 250. The Chrome one is a beauty too. Thanks Mr Bob

[@artstar5994]

Wow! This was so needed for the classic. Now the classic has real world power! Great job Royal Enfield!

[@urbanstrencan]

We are back in 60s with this bike 😊❤

[@LannyGood]

classic was my favorite but wanted it in a 650! could be my next bike!

[@jamesonpace726]

Sold. Just need to decide what to do with my Classic350....

[@Bigfatbobbbb]

Keep it, it will always be the best bike to bimble around on

[@Texas_Cuh]

That is super cool man! They would look dope in the US

[@dirkdiggler5164]

I think it's good looking. Wouldn't it be great if Triumph made a Classic like that?

[@HENDRY_FORBES]

Beautiful colour.... it definitely a collective machine for my garage 🔥🔥🔥

[@Big_Tyrone138]

Oh my God, it's beautiful. I actually cried and snotted up seeing this bike.

[@franktreadwell3442]

Stunning

[@johnsonya3401]

This is the one I've been waiting for. I had to sell my beautiful 350 Classic Chrome because it just wasn't powerful enough for the long Aussie roads. But this will be replacing my 2 year old Interceptor for sure. Best RE bike yet methinks.

[@serpentblade8704]

the back seat comes standard but you can remove it just like the shotgun.

[@deanomachineo7281]

Thanks MB, nice review. I will be adding this to the stable. My Interceptor and Classic 350 need a buddy 😂

[@poonachapramod4432]

Royal Enfield uses both CEAT &MRF on their bikes. Both are Indian brand's and very popular in India.

[@j.d.thompson3505]

Love it. A lower seat and mini apes...Hell yeah!

[@tonybland9226]

Looks so nice, lots of alloy polishing though,. I really do think you should have your own show on main stream tv, very professional content yet again 👍

[@jameslast3192]

Love it! Their best yet!

[@ukvamp]

Love this!

[@robertmarsh3588]

Nice looking bike though probably not my thing. Not sure I agree on your ratings for performance. These should be relevant to the category.

[@DrNioky]

The proportions at the rear look wrong somehow. Mudguards and exhaust look out of place... It's like they poorly disguised a Shotgun 650 into a Classic. Plus, the front mudguard usually covers the wheel a bit more on a classic. How did they miss that?

[@jasondargonaut]

They designed the chassis for the Super Meteor and then used it on the Shotgun. And now the classic. I agree they should have built a new chassis for the Classic 650. The suspensions also are firm much like the Shotgun.

[@banerscave]

c'mon dude... your performance ratings should be based on what the engine is designed for. Comparing a oil cooled thumper with a high compression motor makes no sense.

[@markf5437]

Looks nice & light with the single seat 🙂

[@rigobertogomez25]

Holy moly macaroni does this bike looks gorgeous! My god😍😍😍🏍️

[@MaherIbrahim]

This look like the BMW R 18! Especially the front of the bike, where the two headers come out of the engine

[@Dushyant933]

50 shades of 650cc, from RE

[@ripleydead8041]

Dude youre everywhere with the same comment wtf.

[@Dushyant933]

@ripleydead8041 I'm omnipresent

[@sverremoe4087]

looks mint

[@winnabow6653]

I need one, had the 350, it didn’t have enough power for here in US.

[@TheGreatestBeyonder]

It’s a fab looking bike. Royal Enfield are smashing it out the park!! (And it’s not really a great time to be producing bikes, let alone new models)! Would I chop in my REC500 Classic for this??? Quite possibly… Yes! 👍🏻

[@geraldscott4302]

Beautiful. And it's not almost completely FLAT BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I LOVE the light colored paint, unpainted aluminum, and CHROME. What a proper motorcycle should look like.

[@1sttimegunowner]

God this looks so good.

[@ajaymadduri2289]

Valem Red color is stealing hearts very attractive and authentic. Waiting for an updated RE new Interceptor in forthcoming launches. if not this machine will be my choice in the new year..

[@jerseyjoe82364]

I would have liked a chrome rear tail light assembly.

[@stevetee4145]

Looks good but what is it made of? Lead?

[@Ilikethemotion]

Dude! Where is KTM 390adventure/enduro video, where is the new DRZ video?

[@thouseinthehouse]

exactly lol. Heres another 650 variant from RE! wowwwwwwwww amazing.

[@sameerafarheen3857]

How about Royal Enfield Classic 250cc and Royal Enfield Bullet 250cc and Royal Enfield Meteor 250cc and Royal Enfield Hunter 250cc and Royal Enfield Shotgun 250cc yo yo I am excited.

[@MrAndrew1953]

I’d like to see if you could fit a rack and topbox on the back. Very versatile town, commute bike with some old school charm.

[@siddharthkaley00]

Yes. you can.

[@BattleToads]

Hmm... Should I get Classic 350 Emerald Green, Medallion Bronze, or Classic 650 Teal, or Maroon & Cream? I'm leaning toward the Classic 350 Emerald.

[@kawajocb1685]

Nice ride

[@jaydiggy86]

Looks so sick but man, 240kgs is diabolical. Basically rules out anyone who needs to actually use their bike rather than take them out on the weekend

[@Kenicavus]

i shudder at the thought of lifting the bike or pushing it

[@someguy9520]

Ppl saying that 240kg is unusable or insane probably never used a somewhat heavy bike for everyday commuting I personally use a 260kg Honda NT700 and i never had problems it being too heavy, even in tight city traffic. Only thing you have to remeber is to park smartly when uphill First bike was a NT650 with 250kg. Been riding for 3 years, no problem

[@jaydiggy86]

@@someguy9520 I literally daily a super meteor right now. Love the bike but daily inner city fkn sucks. Considering flogging it for a Guerilla 450 atm 🤣

[@someguy9520]

@jaydiggy86 the weight wouldn't bother me on the super meteor Have ridden it a few times, but the long wheelbase and handlebar lock might be annoying in some circumstances in the city I would love to see a travel oriented 450. Nothing enduro, just touring The excellent fuel economy and added power over the 350 would make it ideal for commuting

[@saikrishnathiwakarrk]

The weight is really well proportion so you won't really feel the weight ,unless you sit on it and move it with your legs for too long.

[@mencewilkinson9625]

About the same weight as a small moon but loving the paint.

[@robertmarsh3588]

Love that blue. Is it available in the UK?

[@morrisminor56]

UK in March.

[@RobVespa]

Love this bike, although the fact that it's not a single is a bit baffling (although I've noticed that "Bullet" isn't in the name). I've been waiting for this since Enfield discontinued the Bullet 500. Can't wait to see one in person. Wish there were an Enfield dealer nearby. It's a trip to the closest one - and I don't care for that, as it's the type with several hundred dollar "document" fees, etc. Aside: Like many bike reviewers, you should consider reevaluating the "performance" category. It's off. HP, torque, etc. do not equate to performance.

[@cogitus]

Such a beautiful motorvycle

[@1sttimegunowner]

We need this in the us with 75 horsepower at leadt

[@BikashDeepharijan-vn4lz]

Seen your every video ❤❤❤

[@antistalkergameplay7241]

I am ready with my money to take this bike 🎉

[@Patriotic_Hindu]

One side of me hates that this looks more like a shotgun than a classic in terms of riding poster but the other side of me thanks RE for making this a little bit lower seated because 243 kgs is not an easy job to handle. You gotta have lower seat height to not feel all the weight at once

[@verlinswarey507]

These bikes simply couldn’t be prettier!

[@sd3457]

If only there was a signals type paint scheme. Black engine and sand drab paint, set of Dunlop mutants and it's a perfect all-road tourer.

[@HardMode..]

been waiting for it, finally. Just wish I could buy one in china 😅 (living here now)

[@sonnenschein1758]

Nice one but I don't know... To me something looks worse than on the 350. I don't really know what bothers me so much about the overall appearance of the Classic 650 - maybe it's the frame, which gives the bike a downward sloping line similar to the Meteor. I would like to see the two classics side by side...

[@aidens04]

I think with this and the bear they're going to have a great 2025. Other bike manufacturers take note. Giving people what they want at a price they can afford

[@rnilu86]

Performance 2 stars only?

[@paulsire]

The trip dial ruins it, is it standard?

[@jordinner]

I can’t wait to modify this bike 😍

[@kaushals4294]

tubeless tire/allow wheels mangta hai boss!! RE are you listening ??

[@drozdforce8853]

What do u think aboht new hornet 750?

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Great review mate. To be honest I’m a bit disappointed in the bike. Looks like the same crappy rear shocks as fitted to the Meteor 650. And surely they could have made it as light as the Interceptor 650? 800mm seat height if my maximum tippy toe. And I’m sure it’s going to have a bad turning circle the same as the Meteor 650 due to those large diameter forks. But a great looking bike for sure. Nice flowing review, under pressure of being live and watched. I can’t do that yet. Top marks 🙏

[@Sebastian12-e8q]

Next is Bullet 650🔥 then Himalayan 650 ( sharpa Engine )

[@panagdimi]

RE churning out similar bikes using the 400, 450 and 650 cc engine is IMHO a sign of a short-sighted marketing strategy. My main issue is with the 650 engine which may be reliable but it is certainly underpowered at this displacement category. RE should tune this engine a little bit more aggressively, but I'm not sure if and how much more HPs it can produce before it starts being unreliable. Perhaps RE should start thinking of a new engine, at least 100 to 150 cc more that could produce at least 70 HP. RE as a company has been in my radar over the past few years but I'm confused with their marketing strategy of producing so many "parts bikes" based on only 2 or 3 engines.

[@rajendranayak3580]

Why royal enfield don't make inline 2 instead of parallel 2

[@hectoraccented5312]

Time to factory mod to 865CC Royal Enfield... (and if you do... please please better braking)

[@craigbutler3378]

The maroon one has a very 1950s style writing on the tank. Not a modern look.

[@akashchidyana7612]

Did he really score 2 for feature? The whole point of this bike is staying true to the retro

[@Aitch412]

Can someone explain WHY a 650cc 2 cylinder bike has to weigh 243kg, My old 1200 bobber weighed about the same, surely the bike would ride better, be more manageable, return better fuel consumption and be better suspended... Don't get me wrong, I love the look, the concept, the total retro vibe and the finish, but why have they got to weigh a bloomin' ton... C'mon guys get it on a diet

[@shubhamrawat-sj8bo]

style for me is 5 out of 5. Performance should be compared considering price and style of the bike, For me Performance is at least 3.5. 2 for feature I can understand but for me that 2 is 5. I love RE. Specially Classic Bullet style bike. I grew up hoping one day I will buy bullet. Love this 650 version But that electric bike looks hideous. It doesn't go with Royal Enfield's Old school rough look/Vide. I am all about modernization but they could have designed it better.

[@fionacampbell1674]

Sorry I hate the back end … it doesn’t look quite right 🙃

[@geraldmerkel7145]

👍👍❤️😎🇺🇸

[@athullal7438]

There's no getting around that stiff suspension

[@TheWuseln]

An analogue speedometer! And why should a Classic 650 rider care about the weight? It's about gliding and cruising not sporty conquering the Alps.

[@craigbutler3378]

I really hate the term bobber. Its a classic looking bike, NOT a cruiser or bobber.

[@vitamin_pr0tein]

Six fifty ❌ shit fifty ✅

[@douganderson771]

I love the look , too bad it's a bit too porky for me. Lose 100lbs and I would consider buying one.

[@PhillipJohnGreenslade]

The rear mudguard is bloody awful.

[@phatakesto]

That rear mudguard is hideous my guy. don't go with the proportions at all.

[@wesleywalton4072]

The 500 is more sexy

[@francomartini4328]

The thing that is puzzling me is how, with every new 650 model, Royal Enfield just keep increasing the weight of the bike without increasing the power. All the new models introduced since the Super Meteor 650 have been 20-25 kg heavier than the Interceptor/Continental GT. I know they don't want to go beyond the 48 hp limit for A2 licence holders, but surely they can produce a more powerful motor than can be restricted. Triumph do it with the 900 cc Bonneville range. Even Harleys with the 1,745 cc Milwaukee-Eight 107 are available "A2 compliant". Why not RE?

[@mugilandag]

REs are not about speed and power. Since 60's REs are all about reliability and practicality for every day ride even if it's slow whilst looking cool. These days, it's all about enjoying the vibrations and feeling good whilst riding a modern classic bike.

[@hectoraccented5312]

They sell the 865cc big bore mod (and people love it when installed, a lot more HP and torque, beautiful sound with new exhaust) , I hope someday they sell it as the standard motor, PLEASE RE !!

[@francomartini4328]

@@hectoraccented5312 if you're going to spend two grand plus to have the TRW big bore kit installed by a professional shop (because it's not a do it yourself proposition), you might as well buy a Bonneville T100 and save yourself problems and aggravation and have a bike with a higher residual. If RE offered it from the factory, it would cost less, come with a warranty, and there would be no problems with insurers. But they don't.

[@adityan3208]

I think they eventually will get on with it, they've just made a comeback half a decade ago, so they're taking things slow.

[@francomartini4328]

@@adityan3208 at the time that they introduced the 650 twin platform, Royal Enfield were an Indian company with an overwhelmingly Indian customer base that had come under new ownership. This new ownership (Siddhartha Lal) had the ambition to carve out a slice of the First World pie for itself, leveraging RE's English heritage to do so whilst offering an exceptional value proposition. RE have certainly been very successful at this and they certainly have not been resting on their laurels, introducing at least two new models each year during the last three years. However, mechanically the only novelty over that timeframe has been the new 450 cc water-cooled single introduced with the Himalayan 450/Guerrilla 450. Where the 650 twin platform is concerned, the new frame introduced with the Super Meteor has allowed the range to be extended to six models (with the Bear 650 and the Classic 650 still to go on sale.) However, the 650 engine itself has been out for about seven years now with no meaningful change and the new 450 engine has added to the perception that it has gotten old, particularly when the two are compared on a hp per litre basis. As far as Royal Enfield's primary market India is concerned, the 650 twin is marginal in any case because most people can't afford anything larger than the 350, which is itself considered on the large side. Nor is the rest of South Asia much different in that respect with several countries penalising displacements over 125 cc. This means that the 650 competes above all with Japanese naked and retro bikes of similar displacement in Europe and North America and therefore should be judged against those. Is a low compression air-cooled engine competitive with detuned water-cooled sport bike engines? I think it is getting less so with each passing day.

[@cameronm5248]

Not sure how you can be so 'meh' about it. It's beautiful and will make Enfield a lot of money. I can see waiting lists for it.

[@auldflyer]

The word "classic" in relation to motorcycles, cars etc. is generally used to describe a vehicle of some age (not new) with a valued history i.e. not junk. The current use of the cheap looking retro Royal Enfield plastic tank badges being stuck on the plethora of "motorcycles" oozing out of the Indian sub-continent hardly makes these bikes being "classic". Indian produced Bullet's of any variety will never be regarded asa true Classic's. The only RE bike truly deserving of Classic status is the 700cc Constellation, none of the current RE badged jiggly built piles of cachu resemble anything that will ever become a Classic with a big "C".........P.S. My very first bike (purchased in 1964) was a 1960/61 250cc Royal Enfield Crusader Sports, a sort of "mini" Constellation hence my reverance towards the RE of days gone by and total distain towards the cheap crap produced under that name today.
