Royal Enfield Bullet 650 Explained In Images

Royal Enfield recently launched the Bullet 650 in India for a price of Rs 3,64,856. The Bullet, now in its biggest and baddest avatar, is also the motorcycle which has been in production for the longest. While the Bullet 650 shares most of the components with the Classic 650, it has a completely different vibe to it. Let's take a deep dive with the help of images:

Looks

The bike carries a similar design to the smaller Bullet 350, which is quite neat, subtle and vintage. There are a few visual changes, like the taller handlebar, a squared-off rear fender, and a single-piece seat, that make it different from the Classic 650. While the overall design is not loud, it will surely grab a lot of attention.

Details:

• Misses on the iconic rectangular taillight

• Features hand-painted golden pinstripes

• Gets golden 3D emblems on the tank and side panels

Colour

The bike is available in two elegant colours: Cannon Black (which is iconic to Bullet) and the India-exclusive Battleship Blue. There's no denying that it looks drop-dead gorgeous in the Black paint scheme. However, the new Battleship Blue does give the bike a royal touch. Both colours have sparkles mixed in the paint, which look quite good under sunlight. Our Bullet 650 colours explainer covers everything about its colour scheme.
