Royal Enfield Bullet 650
The 650 twin dressed as the original Bullet, minus the long warranty
In short
The Bullet 650 is Royal Enfield's newest cruiser, pairing the proven 648cc parallel-twin with classic Bullet styling from ₹3.65 lakh. It targets riders who want twin-cylinder torque in the most traditional silhouette RE sells, but at 243kg with only a 2-year warranty and telescopic (not USD) forks, it asks a premium price for a light-on-detail specification.

Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
There is only one Bullet 650 to buy, priced at ₹3,64,856 ex-showroom in Delhi. The only decisions left are colour and whether to finance it.
That makes it priced 12th lowest among the 15 cruisers we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Classic 650 (₹2,736 more) and the Interceptor 650 (₹26,947 less).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹4.17 Lakh for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.
| Variant | Ex-showroom | Rough EMI |

Standard | ₹3,64,856 |
Mileage
Engine and ride
Power comes from a 648cc single producing 46.39 bhp and 52.3 Nm, paired with a 6 Speed. At 243 kg the power-to-weight figure is 191 bhp per tonne, which ranks 5 of 15 in its class here.
The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.
Chassis hardware includes dual-channel ABS and a slipper clutch, with a disc, 320 mm, 2 piston caliper up front and disc, 300 mm, 2 piston caliper at the rear.
At 800 mm the seat is average for the class; most riders from 5'5" up will be comfortable at stops.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Bullet 650 puts Royal Enfield's 648cc parallel-twin into the most traditional silhouette the brand builds, priced from ₹3.65 lakh. It reads as a statement bike more than a spreadsheet winner: the engine is proven and the styling is classic, but the shorter warranty and heavier kerb weight than most 650 stablemates mean it has to be judged as much on feel as on figures.
Riding it every day
The twin's 46.39bhp and 52.3Nm give it easy, unhurried overtaking power on Indian highways, and the 6-speed gearbox keeps revs low at cruising speed, which should help long-term comfort even if fuel-efficiency figures are not yet published. At 243kg it needs deliberate handling at parking speeds and through tight U-turns, and the 800mm seat combined with that mass means slower riders will want to plan their footing at traffic lights. Dual-channel ABS and twin discs front and rear give confident stopping power in city and monsoon conditions alike.
What to know before buying
Royal Enfield's service network is dense and parts for the 650 platform are now well established after years of the Interceptor and Continental GT, so ownership costs should track those bikes. The 2-year warranty is shorter than most current Royal Enfields, so budget for an extension if you plan long-term ownership. Real-world mileage and top speed data are not yet available; expect figures broadly in line with the similarly-weighted Classic 650.
Who should buy it
Riders who want the most classic-looking 650 Royal Enfield, mainly for weekend and highway riding rather than daily commuting, will like the Bullet 650. Anyone prioritising a longer warranty or a lighter, nimbler twin should look at the Interceptor instead.
Features and colours

On safety kit the Bullet 650 has dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. Dual-channel ABS is the one item on this list worth paying for if it is variant-dependent.
What it lacks: bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.
It is offered in 2 colours: Battleship Blue and Cannon Black. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 2 years, unlimited km.
Service reach is good: Royal Enfield has about 2,200 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country.
The Bullet 650 launched in 2026, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.

- Is the Bullet 650 just a Classic 650 with different styling?
- They share the same 648cc engine, dual-channel ABS, and roughly the same weight, but the Bullet 650 wears more traditional bodywork and a lower list of colour options. Expect similar real-world performance and running costs to the Classic 650 until independent mileage figures are published.
