Royal Enfield’s 650cc motorcycle lineup – including Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650, Classic 650 and Bear 650 – has witnessed a sharp increase in prices following the revised GST slab. With large-capacity motorcycles now taxed at 40% GST, ex-showroom prices of the 650 range have risen by around 7.3%, translating to a hike between Rs 22,500 to nearly Rs 30,000 depending on the variant.

Royal Enfield Bear 650 New Prices GST 2.0
The Bear 650, Royal Enfield’s scrambler-style machine, has also been affected. Board Walk is priced at Rs 3.71 lakh (+Rs 25,345), Wild Honey and Petrol Green at Rs 3.77 lakh each (+Rs 25,720), Golden Shadow at Rs 3.84 lakh (+Rs 26,243), and the Two Four Nine special edition at Rs 3.93 lakh (+Rs 26,841).
Impact of GST Hike
The GST reform has moved big-capacity motorcycles into the 40% tax bracket, resulting in uniform hikes across the 650cc portfolio. While Royal Enfield continues to dominate the mid-size motorcycle space, this price increase of Rs 22,000–29,000 will make the 650 range less accessible than before. Despite the revised prices, the 650cc models remain the most affordable twin-cylinder motorcycles in India, retaining their value proposition against rivals in the segment.
