Why it matters
Represents a significant product evolution for a legacy motorcycle brand targeting both nostalgia and modern performance needs.
The arrival of the Bullet 650 was inevitable. Royal Enfield’s proven 648cc parallel-twin platform already underpins motorcycles such as the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650 and Classic 650, and now the company has brought that engine to the model that arguably deserves it most. The result is a motorcycle that retains the unmistakable character and visual identity of the Bullet while delivering a level of refinement, performance and long-distance capability that previous generations could only have dreamed of.
