Royal Enfield Bullet 650 Teased; Details
Much like the Classic 650, the Bullet 650 will also likely be instantly recognizable, but in a slightly larger and wider frame. The pinstriping on the tank gives away its identity in the teaser, and the exhaust note also sounds much deeper than the Classic's. It will also likely come with a twin exhaust pipe treatment, and the entire body will feature chrome as well.
The Bullet 650 will likely be positioned lower than the Classic 650, and similarly we can also expect it to borrow the Shotgun's sub-frame, but with a wider, single-piece seat. The 648cc, twin-cylinder engine will be carried over, paired to a 6-speed gearbox. It will likely continue to produce 43.6bhp at 7250rpm and 52.3Nm of torque at 5650rpm.
We can expect it to be fairly simple in terms of features, featuring the familiar semi-digital instrument cluster, the tripper navigation pod placed on the right side. Other things will include dual-channel ABS, a USB port, and a slip-and-assist clutch.
All details come out on November 4, and the launch could likely take place at the Motoverse. Stay tuned!
Verdict
The Bullet 650 is unlikely going to have any direct rivals, but the BSA Gold Star could possibly count as a distant threat. That said, the return of a larger Bullet is going to make fans very happy, especially those who have missed the now-dead Bullet 500 for a long time now.
