The Motorcycle Story
Old school forever. Double the power, double the torque, and all the hallmarks that make this bike an icon for generations.

The Bullet 650 is the twin-cylinder version of the world's longest-running motorcycle in continuous production, a model with a lineage tracing back to Redditch, UK, in 1932 and Madras, India, in the 1950s. In 2026, this classic enters its most powerful chapter yet: a 648cc twin-cylinder engine and a more robust build, while retaining everything that makes a Bullet a Bullet.

The powertrain is a parallel-twin shared with other 650 models, delivering 34.6 kW, making it compliant with A2 license requirements. The signature Bullet features remain: hand-painted gold pinstriping, 3D winged badges, the casquette headlamp housing with tiger-eye lights, and a pair of chrome exhausts. The geometry focuses on stability: a 1,475 mm wheelbase, 800 mm seat height, and a 243 kg curb weight.

This is not a bike for those seeking cutting-edge technology. It is for the rider who understands continuity and wants an icon with a ninety-year history in full twin-cylinder power. The Bullet 350 is no longer in the lineup; the legend continues as the 650. For those who prefer a more ornate take on the classic, there is Classic 650.

STORY · HERITAGE

Flawless British lines, Indian soul

In 1932, a new machine rolled off the Royal Enfield production line in Redditch, and motorcycling was never the same again. The Bullet was born. In the 1950s, fate brought this British icon to an unexpected home in Madras, India, changing its course forever. After nine decades, the Bullet arrives in a form that pays tribute to both its British lineage and its indomitable Indian soul.

New heart, same soul

In 2026, the Bullet receives its most powerful iteration yet, featuring the flagship 648cc twin-cylinder engine. Double the power, double the torque, and a heartbeat that has never been smoother. It retains the signature Bullet chassis, glossy hand-painted pinstriping, and winged badges. Everything that makes this motorcycle an icon for generations.

Casquette headlamp and tiger eyes

Up front, the classic casquette headlamp nacelle and glossy "tiger eyes" pilot lamps meet modern LED technology. Tiger eye lamps first appeared on Royal Enfield machines in 1954, and the Bullet 650 carries them forward as a tribute to its own history. A striking look, improved visibility, and the unmistakable signature of the Bullet.
