Royal Enfield Classic 650 – Royal Enfield has been ruling this retro motorcycle segment here in India for quite some time now. The Classic 350 bikes seem to have carved a space in Indian hearts. Waiting for a long time: the Classic 650 by Royal Enfield is a monumental step by the company in 2025; a class of people who would fall under this category would be those who loved the characters from those days, and yet want the modern power. The Classic 650 carries so much weight in concept that it becomes news everywhere every year. So, let’s wait to see what this bike brings to the floor in 2025.
Design And Build
With classic shapes synonymous with the Classic series, the Royal Enfield Classic 650 telegraphs a round headlamp, teardrop fuel tank, and wide seat-anything but a pure old-school retro machine.
With more premium materials, the 650 version would have muscle in terms of chrome detailing and thick body panels.
Big and heavy would be quite a big road presence from this motorcycle.
Engine And Performance
Classic 650 gets this engine directly from the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650: the 648cc parallel-twin.This engine is generally held in quite high regard when it comes to smoothness, refinement and strong mid-range torque.
That torque is deep down there and very much at the center of classic riding and, arguably, one of its greatest.
So expect some smooth acceleration with low vibrations and good highway cruising honors.
Comfort And Ride Quality

Classic series motorcycles are known for soft riding; the Classic 650 will continue that tradition with cruising comfort ergonomics suited for long-distance touring afforded by a wide seat, upright handlebars, and good suspension. Weighing slightly more in wet weight will induce additional highway stability and confidence.
Features
The Classic 650 would be expected to include features like dual-channel ABS slipper clutch, USB charging socket, and semi-digital instrument cluster. The company is also increasing the 650 series’ safety aspects, so perhaps traction control will be on the list, too. LED headlamps and Bluetooth connectivity are also likely to exist.
Expected Price And Launch Timeline
The expected price of the Royal Enfield Classic 650 might be anywhere between Rs. 3.5 lakh and Rs. 3.9 lakh (ex-showroom).
On the launch part, this vehicle is expected to hit the market in mid-to-late 2025 since much concentration is being laid by the company on this model after the Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450.

If a Royal Enfield fan has been waiting for a powerful, refined, and, of course, iconic classic, the Classic 650 is going to be one such option for you.
Rumors say that the motorcycle would come up with modern performance yet a retro charm, and if it launches in 2025, it could perhaps trigger a paradigm shift for the Indian biking sector.
