Royal Enfield has officially unveiled its eagerly awaited Bullet 650 at the EICMA 2025 motorcycle event in Milan, Italy. The iconic Bullet – a motorcycle that has been synonymous with enduring aesthetics and thumping raw power – now enters a new dimension of classic styling hand-in-hand with a refined outlook and modern engineering.
A Classic Icon, Reinvented
The new Bullet 650 maintains the unmistakable outline of the original, offering a teardrop fuel tank, chrome fenders, and hand-painted pinstripes. However, it now rides on a brand-new modern 650cc parallel-twin engine, the same proven motor used in the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650. This engine gives you 47 horsepower and 52 Nm of torque, giving you a smooth, silky ride with that signature Enfield thump.
Modern Upgrades, Traditional Soul
While the Bullet 650 looks old-school, it’s packed with new-age tech. It comes with:
- Dual-channel ABS
- Assist and slipper clutch
- LED lighting setup
- Digital-analogue instrument cluster
- USB charging port
Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers, tuned for comfort and stability on both highways and rugged terrains.
Built for the Global Market
Royal Enfield intends to establish the Bullet 650 as its global flagship model that is designed for both purists and contemporary bike riders. The company has announced that production will take place in India, but it will still comply with Euro 5+ emissions standards, making it suitable for multiple global markets, including Europe and the UK.
Price and Availability
While the official pricing hasn’t been revealed, sources anticipate that the Bullet 650 will be priced at about ₹2.95 lakh (ex-showroom, India) – meaning the price will slot between the Interceptor 650 and Sailor 650. The expected launch date for India is early 2026.
Final Thoughts
The Royal Enfield Bullet 650 is more than a motorcycle; it’s a legacy reimagined for a new audience. Between heritage styling, and contemporary performance, it will be one of EICMA 2025’s major stars and have a high chance of conquering the global middleweight motorcycle segment.
