    Royal Enfield Classic 350 Nepal LaunchRoyal Enfield’s absolute ‘Golden Goose’ is Classic 350 which has been India’s favourite Retro bike for a long time. The company has just launched this motorcycle in Nepal, extending its global presence. This motorcycle is expected to cast the same magic on Nepalese motorcycling enthusiasts like it has in India. Let’s take a closer look.

      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Launch Price Rs 3.37 Lakh – Colours, Details

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 650 LaunchRoyal Enfield unveiled Classic 650 Twin for the first time last year at the EICMA Show 2024. The company just launched Classic 650 for a starting price of Rs 3.37 lakh (Ex-sh). It looks almost similar to its best-seller Classic 350, but is proportionately larger, befitting its displacement class and price segment.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Launch
      With the launch of 650 Twins (Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650), Royal Enfield opened their account in the multi-cylinder motorcycle portal. Since then, Royal Enfield has steadily expanded their 650cc lineup to incorporate Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650 and Interceptor Beat 650.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Colours
      Now, the latest 650cc bike from Royal Enfield is Classic 650 and it packs the potential to be the best-selling 500cc+ motorcycle. If Classic 350’s sales is anything to go by, we can expect Classic 650 to make a major impact in the middle-weight segment. The colour palette for Classic 650 include Vallam Red (Rs 3.37L), Bruntingthorpe Blue (Rs 3.37L), Teal (3.41L) and Black Chrome (Rs 3.5L) (all prices Ex-sh).
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Black Chrome
      For many, Classic 650 is a stepping stone from Royal Enfield’s own 350cc motorcycle. Most probably, the Classic 350. Where design is concerned, Classic 650 looks very similar to Classic 350, only larger. It is a good thing as this Classic design has stood the test of time and is hard to shake off from being relevant for years to come.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Teal
      Classic design FTW?
      We get the Classic teardrop shape fuel tank, round ORVMs, round LED headlights, retro mud guards at both ends, front fork covers, large analog-digital instrument cluster with Tripper screen and it shares its main frame, sub frame and swingarm with Super Meteor 650. All this metal ensures that kerb weight is 243 kg, making Classic 650 the heaviest Royal Enfield yet.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Vallam Red
      This motorcycle rides on 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels and gets RSU telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear. There are disc brakes on both ends and we get dual-channel ABS as standard. We can expect Classic 650 to offer a relaxed ergonomics and comfortable ride.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Bruntingthorpe Blue
      Powertrain-wise we get the familiar 648cc parallel twin oil-cooled engine that is capable of generating 46.4 bhp of peak power and 52.3 Nm of peak torque. This engine is mated to a slip and assist clutch along with a 6-speed gearbox. Bearing the Classic tag, we can expect it to have cushy suspension and a pliant ride.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Elegant Design
      Statement from Royal Enfield
      Speaking about the launch of the Classic 650, B Govindarajan, Managing Director, Eicher Motors Limited and CEO, Royal Enfield, said, “The Classic 650 is more than just a motorcycle – it’s a tribute to our rich legacy, where timeless design meets effortless performance. It carries forward the spirit of Royal Enfield, blending craftsmanship with an unshakable bond between rider and machine.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650
      Built on our proven 650cc parallel twin platform, it offers a perfect blend of refinement, capability and powerful road presence, making it an even more aspirational choice for those who love the Classic’s DNA, seeking more power and versatility. With the Classic 650, we are not just building motorcycles; we are preserving the essence of pure motorcycling for generations to come. We’re thrilled to bring this iconic machine to India, and I am confident that it will be embraced with the same passion that defines our riding community.” More

      New Royal Enfield Classic 650 Rendered – 9 Colours Based On Recent Spy Shots

      by

      New Royal Enfield Classic 650 RenderWhen launched, Royal Enfield Classic 650 has the potential to surpass the sales of other 650cc motorcycles in company’s portfolio
      One of the world’s leading classic motorcycle manufacturers, Royal Enfield, has been aggressively expanding its lineup. Within the 650cc portfolio, we have multiple new vehicles under development including Himalayan 650, Interceptor Bear 650 and Classic 650. Ahead of launch, here are some of the realistic renders of upcoming Classic 650, created by Pratyush Rout.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Rendered
      Rushlane’s render of Royal Enfield Classic 650 is based on the recent spy shots showing test mules with unique dual-tone colourways. Because these test mules were completely undisguised, we could see what Royal Enfield has been up to, where colour schemes are concerned.
      New Royal Enfield Classic 650
      These renders perfectly capture the essence of what Royal Enfield is trying to offer with their upcoming Classic 650. For starters, the test mules spotted were single-seater versions and that’s what these renders depict as well. There will be an option for pillion seat version when launched in India and abroad.
      Overall design is similar to Classic 350, but there are a few changes. For starters, Classic 650 will come with twin exhausts, which are of pea-shooter design. Because these exhausts have to follow the shape of the large engine casing, they are not exactly straight, which lends a unique design.
      New Royal Enfield Classic 650 Render
      Tear-drop design for fuel tank ties it with Classic’s look and some variants get dual-tone colourways too. On the tank is also the new logo, which RE had trademarked earlier this year. The 2024 Classic 350 has two side body elements, while Classic 650 has one. The bike’s steering setup looks more or less the same, with similar headlight and front suspension setup. A Tripper screen might be offered, but not Tripper Dash.
      Rear tail lights are similar to the ones seen on 2024 Classic 350 as well. Round ORVMs finished in chrome are also notable. The main highlight is the colourways Royal Enfield is going for. These renders borrow a few single-tone and dual-tone colourways from 2024 Classic 350 and look striking on Classic 650.
      New Royal Enfield Classic 650 Render
      Specs and Launch
      Classic 650 will be powered by the same 648cc parallel-twin oil-cooled engine that is capable of generating around 47 bhp of peak power and 52 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. LED lighting all around, single disc brake setup at either ends, RSU telescopic front forks.
      Classic 650 has been under development for a very long time and has been spied on multiple occasions. With Classic 650, the company is trying to cater to a majority of buyers across the world who might be looking to upgrade from their Classic 650. Conversely speaking, it could be one’s first big bike with retro design.
      New Royal Enfield Classic 650 Render
      Either way, Royal Enfield Classic 650 has immense sales potential and might easily outperform Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650 sales. Where pricing is concerned, it is likely to be positioned above the 650 Twins (Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650) and below Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650. More

The company intends to navigate the classic motorcycle market and establish utter dominance in this genre with a diverse portfolio.Facelifted Classic 350A major update to Royal Enfield’s golden goose, Classic 350 will be coming this year. This would be the first time Royal Enfield is updating Classic 350 since the bike ditched the older UCE motor in favour of a newer and (technologically) better J-Series engine. This J-Series update also brought re-designed switchgear and instrument cluster along with it.Updated Royal Enfield Classic 350 with Classic 650Considering Classic 350 is an absolute champ where sales are concerned, there are less likely to be any functional upgrades. However, we can expect a few experience-enhancing additions like LED lighting, alloy wheels and tubeless tyres. Test mules of an updated Classic 350 have been spotted alongside Classic 650 test mules.For the same price as a Classic 350, rivals are offering dual exhausts, a DOHC 4V head, liquid cooling, a slipper clutch, a 6-speed gearbox, LED lighting, alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, USD front forks, almost double the performance at around 40 bhp and much more.Even though the sales prospect of Classic 350 is still unmatched by rivals, it would be nice if Royal Enfield ups its game in features and equipment department.

The company hopes to recreate the same magic of Classic 350 in middle-weight classic motorcycle segment. Classic 650 will be positioned above current Interceptor 650 and below Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650.We’re sure Classic 650 will be the next big thing in the Indian middle-weight segment and surpass sales of other RE 650 bikes currently on sale in the Asian subcontinent. However, Classic 650 can be an opportunity for Royal Enfield to significantly overhaul its global presence in middle-weight multi-cylinder motorcycle segment.Test mules of Classic 650 have been spotted time and time again. We can see an overall similar silhouette as the evergreen Classic 350, but proportionately bulked up to accommodate the larger platform and aesthetics. It will feature conventional RSU telescopic front forks instead of USD forks and conventional instrument cluster as opposed to RE’s Tripper Dash.Powertrains will remain identical to other Royal Enfield 650cc engines.

      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Spied – Single Seat, White Tyre Wall

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber SpiedRE Classic 350 Bobber will rival the Jawa Bobber and Perak – Launch expected in coming months
      Royal Enfield has an impressive 350cc portfolio based on their new gen J-series platform. We have the Classic 350, Meteor 350 and Hunter 350 motorcycles. There is scope for portfolio expansion as revealed in Royal Enfield’s annual report. At least two more motorcycles will be launched on the J series platform. These are Bullet 350 and Classic 350 Bobber.
      Royal Enfield already offers a Classic 350 with a single seat. But they are also working on a Bobber 350, based on Classic 350 which will get slightly more changes. The first-ever RE Classic 350 Bobber test mule has now been spied on test in Chennai. Thanks to automotive enthusiast Prabhu for sharing these exclusive spy shots. From the image, we can see almost everything that is different from the current Classic 350.
      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Spied
      Classic 350 is the highest selling RE. It almost touched 25K units sales mark last month. The main draw for this motorcycle it excels in the balancing act. It has a perfect amount of old-world panache, modern tech and riding dynamics. With the Bobber, Royal Enfield is hoping to retain much of it. As such, there are no changes to design and body panels.
      Wheelbase looks the same as the C350. Thus retaining the ride and handling behaviour of Classic 350. New blackened and beefier exhaust, a new taller handlebar, blackened ORVMs, blackened wire-spoke rims, teal-walled tyres and rear tail lights and indicators from Super Meteor 650 are the only changes we can spot.
      Royal Enfield 350cc platform launch plans
      LED headlight from Super Meteor is expected. The recent test mule was seen wearing emission testing equipment with the new exhaust, which looks like a larger unit as compared to current Classic 350. Exhaust tip is much larger in aperture and could unlock a bass-heavy aural experience.
      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber vs Classic 350 Single seat
      The handlebar is tall and reminds of custom Choppers from the West. It enables an upright seating position and a relaxed rider’s triangle. Single seat looks good enough to provide optimum comfort. The 349cc air/oil-cooled engine will generate 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm, coupled with a 5-speed gearbox. A dual-channel ABS could be standard.
      The Bobber space in India to get a new champion?
      We would have liked an extended wheelbase. Because that is what makes a Bobber, a Bobber. Both Jawa Perak and 42 Bobber perfectly encapsulate this with a 1,485 mm wheelbase. If RE Bobber 350 gets the 1,390 mm wheelbase, which is same as seen on Classic 350, it could come off as a regular Classic 350 with an aftermarket exhaust and handlebar.
      Jawa Bobber price is Rs. 2,09,187 (ex-sh). RE Classic 350 Bobber prices are expected to be in a similar range. Launch is expected later this year. Upon launch it will rival Jawa Bobber and Perak, which offers a more performant engine (30.2 bhp and 32.7 Nm), liquid-cooling setup, 6-speed gearbox, fatter rear tyres and that quintessential Bobber look, among others.  More
