Royal Enfield Classic 650 Twin review - Retro show, modern go | First Ride | Autocar India

[@crg9864]

This is probably one of the best 650 motorcycles royal enfeild has made. This motorcycle has been long overdue

[@Lone_wolf_31]

I’m seriously blown away mind blowing 🤯

[@videosulllike3110]

One of the best is Conti 650

[@shaarodmahanta2473]

Exactly ​@@videosulllike3110

[@samkumar2488]

Comes with capability of chassis breaking

Love how they brought back the OG colour themes for the 650.

There is strategy behind it.

Surprise surprise! we got the classic 650 first ride before the bear 650

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Both nice bikes.

[@debarpitchandan2026]

Been dreaming and wishing for it since the 650 twins came back in 2017 I guess! Myaaan she's gorgeous 😍

[@cruze86]

I am the happiest today 😊. I don’t have to miss the 500 now.

[@Patriotic_Hindu]

The kick wouldn't be that high cuz that was a single cylinder 500cc

[@sash0047]

the RE 500 cc would always be missed 650 is great but it lacks the character which got indians into RE 500 had tones of it

I have been Riding RE since 2003 and i have been a TB rider (3 Versions of it till 2010 model and still have it) and never a Classic loving person, but this one blows my mind. Loving it already, it is big and bulky, the seating position and the handle already feels comfortable. Good one RE congratulations & Best of luck.

[@Playboicarti-m7f]

Thats my birth year lol you're an og 😂

[@s2tp97]

Well, this came out of nowhere 😂

[@clintsride]

@3:49 the suspension setup is bad for the UK roads then imagine the ride quality on Indian roads 😅

[@sankuM]

[@dhanarajp3397]

Same as meteor 650. Not made for india.

[@CarDoc-5]

The hunter 350 is very bad aswell!

[@apoorvbohrey]

Buy an SUV instead. Will suit your taste. Cruisers will be cruisers, irrespective of your opinions.

[@clintsride]

@@apoorvbohrey nothing to feel sour about. Don't be a fan boy, constructive criticism is important so that companies improve the product

[@tarunsingh8725]

Finally Classic with 650 - Powerful and comfortable Rocket 🔥

[@burnttoast9890]

It isn't comfortable! Didn't you watch the review?

[@tarunsingh8725]

@burnttoast9890 More comfortable than riding position of continental gt650 for long journey

[@burnttoast9890]

@@tarunsingh8725 that's only comfortable when you're parked in your garage, not when riding it in Indian roads.

[@Im_AbHiJiT]

Comfortable to Kahi se bhi nahi lag rahi hai bhai... boond lagne wali hai....

[@anmolsharma4049]

​@@tarunsingh8725why not super meteor it's more comfortable than a classic

[@paaaaritosh]

That green colour looked beautiful 🤩. This bike will surely be a worthy successor to the bullet 500.

[@manzarabbas7953]

I had Bullet 500, Forest green color, loved it, but it had a lot of vibrations after 100 kmph. After seeing this 650 twin classic, I am tempted to buy it

[@paaaaritosh]

@@manzarabbas7953 go ahead brother, but wait at least 6 months so that initial issues get ironed out.

[@kimphilbi9109]

The 500 had a big single which RE do not have

[@paaaaritosh]

@@kimphilbi9109 big single cyl are viby and noisy but u can get bsa goldstar 650 if ur priority is a single cylinder

[@kimphilbi9109]

@paaaaritosh Have you test ridden Goldstar? I've done it two times before ordering one or myself. It has two counterbalancer shafts and it shows, no vibrations. For example you can do 70kmph in 2nd Gear and 100kmph in 3rd Gear while still be able to identify the vehicle in the rearview mirrors. Try that with RE.

[@Namgey5]

240 kg thats not a joke. I wish classic 500 to b launch again. Like wu wants Classic 500 on road❤

[@unknown98-h8q]

243 kg

[@avesbaig5905]

I have back issues, was thinking about supermeteor as well but didn't go forward because of bad suspension. Looks like this also has a bad suspension as well .

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Buy the bear .It has long travel and interceptor frame which is much superior

[@avesbaig5905]

@deltabluesdavidraye it does not have alloy wheels option, interceptor is gonna get an update soon . I'll wait for it .

[@Motarmanas]

Go for xpulse , your back would thank you

[@aayushjangid]

Rishaad is the GOAT for bike reviews. No gripes with Dinshaw here, but Rishaad has a more engaging and refined way of talking that is more suited to the camera.

[@devendrashelar7934]

You said it!

[@himanshuheartthrob10]

True!!

[@njugal]

My oh my, surprising return of GOAT of all classic motorcycles. RE Classic Chrome in its original shade, am I dreaming?? Only 2 things are step away from me or my type of average build guy~ sheer weight & hard suspension. Otherwise, it's an emotional tribute for OG classic chrome fans!!

[@__ayushman__]

This thing was highly needed and we'll demanded since a long time ❤

[@ms_enj]

Good to see you back in front of the camera, Dinshaw. I always enjoy your presentation style. ☺️

[@Cj-nu7nx]

I am in a quandary... I love the look of this bike so much!!!! ❤ I have owned the Super Meteor for 1 year and every ride gets more satisfying! I have converted to a single seat with the RE solo seat finisher and added RE Bar end mirrors. Beautiful! Every ride is perfect and love it's looks in Astral Grey! However, I feel the need to test ride this bike so much with its heritage looks and if it rides as satisfying as the Super Meteor 650 I may have challenging thoughts to trade... But have absolutely no reason to! I just love Royal Enfield Design so much and the 650 even after owning more power bikes is such an enjoyable engine!

[@krishnachowdhury2028]

Amazing design, fully classic 🤩❤

[@Ratznair]

The machine has arrived thanks RE! The real god of roads! Pls bring in the OG bullet designs as well 🙏

[@chevvakulasrikanth9260]

Video quality is 😍😍

Those cinematic shots were great.

[@amitshah42]

Oh god ...!! The OG classic black chrome is back ❤

[@morrisminor56]

I had the 500 in that colour, got the 350 in red/chrome now.

[@ZainabLife2021]

Thankyou Team AutoCar for this review. We request you for a side by side comparison video for Classic 350 vs Classic 650

[@paseoenmotouy]

Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾 😉

[@sndrsingh]

My 1st bike 500 Classic Chrome. The model was vanished in thin air. I'm really glad it's back! 🥰 After huge disappointment with Shotgun, I'm really hoping to see chrome model more appealing like it used to be. Edit: Heard about the suspension and if they really changed it like you'd mentioned, it's a big drawback. Chrome 500 was as comfortable as sitting on a sofa and riding. No back ache even after non-stop one-way riding of around 800 km (my maximum "non-stop" ride so far). If this is taken away then it's bad news.

[@simbapumbakitty2454]

First comment, no idea how you got 650 classic when I was looking for bear 650

[@_Anurag_Thakur_]

Very true 😂

[@navjitdang]

Oh my God this machine is just so damn beautiful. The one in green looks amazing

[@abukhattab2499]

I own a RE500 classic chrome and a Triumph T120. Looking forward to add this beauty to my stable ❤

[@mohawk2131]

Scrap yard junk 😂

[@swatitribedi1410]

What a stunning look!😍

[@kepa504]

Glad to see you had nice weather for your review, its a nice area

[@HopefulLake-hn3xd]

Meteor 350 body and 650 engine ❤❤. waiting for something like it from last 20 year

[@ASKME2DAY]

The way he speaks "Classic" oddly stands out 😅 I think it's "Klahhsikk" and not "Klasik"..

[@sujeetkumarsamantaray1765]

Wheelbase should have done little longer and alloy wheel option should be added in this price segment.

[@SonAppu]

One of the best looking enfield till date....and the weight ❤

[@Thegeordiemonkey]

Nice to be shown ridden around where I live. Looks lovely.

[@JohnRoy1414]

Yes, finally arrived !!

[@kalimirchi4126]

OMG...Here it is ❤❤

[@avisharma1673]

3:50 I think they had to strike a balance here. Since the bike has a 243 kg kerb weight, it would scrape the bottom regularly on speed breakers had the suspension been a bit softer because as it is the ground clearance is not that huge

[@ankitkumar-cl6gq]

Classic 650!!!!!❤❤❤

[@jsvigneshwaran]

If we get the same quality in India the bike will be awesome. Customers will be more happy to buy this bike. RE please give us the same quality and Fit & Finish !

[@manofsteel7894]

I am in Love with this bike❤.

[@specialized29er86]

I'm happy to see its much the same as my classic 500m and would love to see the specs.

[@muhammedbinniyas]

The best colours which the 500 had when it was launched... 🎉

[@lalhmachhuana1119]

Having gone through the reviews of all the 650s from the RE stable, it is clear that they still can't beat the handling, power to weight ratio and riding comfort of the Thunderbird 500.

[@anx1]

I've got a classic 500 2017 so looking at this with eager eyes but carnt fault the original really got to get a test ride asap

[@mohamadaslam9475]

Eagerly waiting for it be launched in india.

[@mickeypathak]

The bike I was waiting for a long time.

[@suvadipmazoomder28]

Much needed ❤

[@SauvikRoy]

What a gorgeous bike!❤

[@MichaelWilson-cx1hh]

Great review

[@AryanKumar-le7dv]

This chrome is back❤❤

[@kurushunwalla]

Thank you for the first ride review Dinshaw. Nicely explained, interesting bike but if suspension felt harsh on those super roads means it will be a back breaker in India with our broken roads. Add to that the tube type tyres which makes it a huge turnoff. The bike looks lovely, don’t understand why RE can’t get these things right from the get go. Cheers

[@rammohang4760]

So designing and manufacturing alloy wheels is rocket science.

[@sulladavinash]

Really awesome design 👌😊

[@vivianrengma]

I would have loved to see the old Classic 500

[@rshvkkt91]

Classic green is ❤ reminds me of the OG Classic 500 EFI

[@sohamjog2984]

Finally Enfield has brought something like Enfield after series of guirella and hunter

[@Bigfatbobbbb]

Rear mudguard looks too high

[@riddler7871]

it's how its designed

[@TheBlackSheepBoy]

because no one is sitting on it. have to account for rear shock sag.

[@moonman8450]

I hope this is a little better looking when tall people are riding it. Literally a dream come true

[@kalvine8353]

I wonder if they will drop military colors?

[@antiaverage0001]

Will buy it next year!

[@borkarms]

Great Job Royal Enfield , Make a 650cc version of all bikes you have , Now waiting for Himalayan 650....

[@imochasingh6875]

A new and good thing is the handlebar is seperated from the head of the bike. Now we can install handlebar riser

[@ScootScoot125]

Must have been an accident. Released the Classic 650 instead of the Bear. Not complaining though, this bike's beautiful

[@LowQualityPigeon]

This bike should have been launched before shotgun 650. It makes sense having a classic 650 more than a shotgun.

[@89digits59]

They need to make a Standard 650 - that will be the best - I like the Standard Bullet more than the Classic, anyone else agree with me? 🙂

[@megadrivetheautoprime6112]

But with GRS shocks..

[@gokulv6172]

That RE is long gone. Now it's kind of cost cutting. Without name monogram both classic and standard looks similar today with here and there cosmetics.

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Yes the Bullet has the better seat and rear fender that keeps rider and bike clean

[@rohitprashar4154]

I agree totally

[@Batfleck3830]

So the bullet 650 will also be based on shotgun 650

[@mohamedafzal3913]

Ride quality is everything for me.

[@pinksam3945]

Finally in 2160p resolution ❤

[@epicmusic2047]

When is the launch?

[@haridharshan4616]

I wish royal enfield will launch the nostalgic black like the old classic 350

[@funshorts9828]

which camera u use in video?

[@ktm890r2]

What's the reason behind RE is giving back-breaking suspension in all its bikes??

[@karanveersingh2264]

Finally, Chrome Black is back

[@akaxe77]

At some point, I’d love to see a CL 650 that has “Goan” style tubeless spoked wheels with whitewalls with a similar more stylish paint scheme.

[@thehealthyindianlife112]

This video made my day. I have seen so make fake videos in wait for this. I have been punting on every RE because I have 500 CC Chrome without ABS. All I wanted was an ABS with the same chrome bike. This is exactly what I wanted.

[@bhanuchandaruppada2211]

Royal Enfield classic 650 will top 'sales chart' in 650cc Royal enfiled sales

[@aakashchoudhuri]

The stiff rear suspension is definitely going to be a deal breaker because Super Meteor, Shotgun and now Classic 650 all will perform similarly in the pothole decorated Indian roads. Hence, the Interceptor 650 still makes a point due to its softer suspension on our Indian roads

[@S_K_J]

2:45 miles ??? brother your audience is in India not US

[@menonverse]

They shot it in the UK, where they use Imperial instead of the Metric system. Even old Classics and Bullets used to come with mph and kmph indicators.

[@16000revs]

Jesus, no need to get so offended about this. Not a science video either to get so offended about not using metric, jeez.

[@debojyotibose7402]

Best 650 till date from Royal Enfield

[@s.s.b.666]

Does it have a Kick Start option ?

[@somuapti]

Sir. Is it available in Emarald Green colour?

[@danishsaifi3968]

What's the difference between this and super meteor other than the classic front....and looks will definitely change when a pillion seat will installed in this bike... RE should have to showcased that too.

[@sairajratnakarshraddhashir1289]

ADDED TO WISHLIST

[@sunilpanwar3628]

Awesome machine❤

[@divirjain4456]

I AM SO SO SO BUYING THIS

[@NolanGreyson]

Which RE 650 is good for riders like me having bad back problem? Please answer

[@jatin2866]

Interceptor I guess?

[@sieradelta5740]

How different it is from the Desert Storm 500 CC Classic? I have a 500 CC Classic, want to upgrade it but don't want it to be a meagre change in experience.

[@Bobthestraightguy]

Can a mechanic easily replace these stiff stocks with softer shocks?? Will that work?

[@somiyachakravorty6158]

Why RE is not working on the rear suspension issue for Super Meteor, Shotgun and now to the Classic

[@rajantrs1]

"Best Finished RE yet".... Tagline for every new junk

[@thamks]

How about the sound ? Can get the bullet sound ?

[@CHECOPEREZ-ge7kl]

Love it ❤❤❤❤

[@naveenkumar-xc4cb]

Did it loose it's character, personality, feel, charm, dug dug? It looks like what bodywork one likes? super meteor or shotgun or classic?
