Along with the Guerrilla 450, Royal Enfield is also working on the Classic 650, which is expected to the launched by the end of year in India. The company has trademarked the name ‘Classic 650 Twin’, which will be the 5th motorcycle from RE to feature the 650 cc parallel-twin engine after the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, Super Meteor 650 and the Shotgun 650.

The Classic 650 is expected to have a similar design, seen on the Classic 350 but of course, with a bigger engine and a few changes here and there. The 2-in-2 exhaust system is seen on a test model, while the peashooter exhausts go well with the overall design. Expect the 648 cc parallel-twin air-oil/cooled engine to make the same power as the other bikes, at 47 bhp and 52 Nm. The motor will be paired to a 6-speed gearbox.

Test mules seen earlier get regular telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers, twin-pod instrument console and silver finishing on the engine. The Classic 650 Twin will have dual-channel ABS as standard, and we could expect it to get the same LED headlight as the other 650 cc RE models.
The Classic 650 Twin is likely to be positioned below the Interceptor 650 and should be the most affordable 650 from Royal Enfield. Expect prices of the Classic 650 Twin to start at about Rs. 3 lakh ex-showroom.
