Royal Enfield Bullet 650 lands in India at Motoverse 2025: Top 5 main highlights
Royal Enfield has showcased the new Bullet 650 at Motoverse 2025 in Goa, introducing parallel-twin power to the iconic nameplate.
The Royal Enfield Bullet 650 has finally reached Indian shores at Motoverse 2025, held in Goa. This comes after the bike was globally debuted at EICMA 2025 in Milan, Italy. The new Bullet 650 carries over parallel-twin power to the iconic nameplate, while retaining the timeless design that has remained its hallmark since the original model debuted in 1932. With its launch, Royal Enfield starts a new phase for the Bullet in a large displacement format.
Royal Enfield Bullet 650: Design highlights
The Bullet 650 carries over all the characteristic design hallmarks of the nameplate, featuring a round LED headlamp with tiger eye-shaped pilot lamps and a large, teardrop-shaped fuel tank with hand-painted pinstripes. The tank retains the iconic winged badge and is followed by a single-piece bench-style seat. Positioned as a standard motorcycle, it enables upright ergonomics for a commanding riding stance.
Royal Enfield Bullet 650: Parallel-twin power
The Bullet 650 is powered by the proven parallel-twin that also underpins the likes of the Interceptor and the Classic 650s. This 648 cc air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch. With this, the motorcycle can make 46 bhp at 7,250 rpm and 52.3 Nm of torque at 5,650 rpm.

The Bullet 650 rides on 19/18-inch wire-spoked wheels shod in tubeless tyres. Braking hardware consists of twin-piston floating calipers biting on a 320 mm front disc and a 300 mm rear disc, supported by dual-channel ABS.

The Royal Enfield Bullet 650 will be sold from 2026 onwards in two colour options, Cannon Black and Battleship Blue. The European and North American markets will be limited to the Cannon Black variant, to be priced from $7,499 (~ ₹6.64 lakh).
