Royal Enfield has launched the Bullet 650, the most powerful version of its longest-running and most iconic motorcycle. Priced at ₹3,64,856 ex-showroom, the Bullet 650 is powered by the company’s parallel twin 650cc engine — the same platform that underpins the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 — and is available across all Royal Enfield dealerships in India.
First introduced in 1932, the Bullet is the world’s longest-running motorcycle in continuous production. Now in its 94th year, it retains its silhouette — the upright stance, the teardrop fuel tank with its hand-painted gold pinstripes and winged badge, the bench seat, and the signature casquette headlamp flanked by twin tiger-eye pilot lamps, a Royal Enfield feature that dates back to 1954. A pair of chrome peashooter exhausts complete the classic look while giving the 650 a distinctive exhaust note of its own.
The parallel twin engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a light slipper clutch. The motorcycle rides on a steel tubular spine frame with Showa suspension — 41mm front forks with 120mm travel and twin-tube rear hydraulics with 112mm travel — and rolls on 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels. The instrument cluster blends an analogue dial with a digital LCD display showing gear position, fuel level, trip meter, and service reminders.
Mr. B. Govindarajan, Managing Director, Eicher Motors Limited and CEO, Royal Enfield, said, “For over nine decades, the Bullet has stood as a symbol of authenticity, resilience, and unmistakable character. With the all-new Royal Enfield Bullet 650, our approach was not to reinterpret the Bullet, but to elevate it with modernity and authenticity. Every element has been carefully evolved to retain the pure essence and character of the iconic machine, while seamlessly integrating the power and refinement of the parallel twin 650cc platform.”
The Bullet 650 is available in two colour options — Cannon Black and Battleship Blue. Riders can also personalise their motorcycles through Royal Enfield’s range of genuine motorcycle accessories.
