RE Classic 650 Twin review

Royal Enfield Classic 650 Twin

Quick review

5 Nov '24

Classic 650 Twin shares some fundamentals with the Shotgun but the front fork and wheels are different.

5 Nov '24

It is very well-finished and there is a generous helping of chrome all over.

5 Nov '24

At 243kg, the Classic 650 Twin is the heaviest modern-day RE yet (at least until the Himalayan 650 arrives).

5 Nov '24

Despite its weight, the Classic handles well and the only hindrance are the footpegs, which can scrape rather easily.

5 Nov '24

The only downside to this pretty motorcycle is that it has a rather firm ride, even over the well-paved UK roads we rode it on.

5 Nov '24

Four colours are on offer - Vallam Red, Bruntingthorpe Blue, Teal and Black Chrome.

5 Nov '24

Prices aren’t out yet but we’ve been told that its starting price will be in the Shotgun’s ballpark but the top colour will be in Super Meteor territory.
