After first being unveiled at EICMA 2025, the Royal Enfield Bullet 650 finally launched in India, bringing the iconic Bullet nameplate into the brand’s twin-cylinder family. The motorcycle blends the old-school styling of the Bullet 350 with Royal Enfield’s 650cc platform, promising a more effortless riding experience for both long-distance touring and everyday city commutes.
Priced at Rs 3,64,856 (ex-showroom, Chennai), the Bullet 650 sits right alongside the Royal Enfield Classic 650 in Royal Enfield’s lineup, sharing not just the same engine and underpinnings, but also the exact same asking price.

The motorcycle is available in two paint schemes: Cannon Black and Battleship Blue (both priced the same), with the latter being exclusive to India. While the black shade stays true to the traditional Bullet identity with a proper vintage appeal, the blue colour gives the bike a slightly fresher and more distinctive look without losing its retro character.
Royal Enfield has also given the Bullet its own identity. It gets a more traditional square-shaped rear fender, a single-piece seat and a taller handlebar that should offer a more commanding riding posture. The footpeg positioning, however, remains similar to the Classic 650, ensuring familiar ergonomics.

At the heart of the Bullet 650 is Royal Enfield’s 647.95cc parallel-twin, air and oil-cooled engine producing 47PS and 52.3Nm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox. This is the same motor seen on the Classic 650, the Super Meteor 650, and all other 650s. It has already proven its mettle to be smooth, tractable and relaxed at highway cruising speeds. Expect the Bullet 650 to deliver a similarly refined and easy-going riding experience, especially with its strong midrange torque delivery.

The big Bullet shares its fundamentals (from the suspension, wheels, brakes and dimensions) with the Classic 650. Even the features are the same as the Classic 650. A semi-digital instrument console, tripper navigation pod, a USB charging port, full-LED lighting and dual-channel ABS.

Overall, the Bullet 650 feels like a natural progression of one of Royal Enfield’s most iconic motorcycles. It gets the timeless styling and road presence that Bullet fans admire, while adding the refinement and touring capability of the brand’s parallel-twin engine. With its relaxed ergonomics and proven mechanical package, the Bullet 650 could and will become a compelling option for riders wanting a proper retro roadster with genuine highway touring ability.
