A test ride review of Royal Enfield's new Bullet 650. Wearing 1960s styling, it delivers a relaxed, authentic retro riding feel. Its appeal lies in the charming 650 twin, a comfortable riding position, and easygoing road manners.
I cannot treat the name 'Bullet' lightly. It's a symbol that traveled from Britain to India and continued one of the world's longest production runs. Reviving it for today as a 650 twin — this machine expresses the will not to lock history away in a museum, but to keep it alive on the road even now. I support this decision to keep the 1960s spirit alive.

For something styled retro, if it feels too modern, diehard Bullet fans might find it lacking.
If the road manners are that honest, it sounds like it'd cause less fatigue on long tours — nice.
The Bullet line always had that strong single-cylinder image, but going to a 650 twin makes it a completely different bike.
The single-cylinder Bullet is still sold alongside it, so I think they've got the lineup properly segmented.
With a 650 twin and this riding position, it seems like you wouldn't get tired even after long hours in the saddle.
Keeping that 60s look while riding like a modern bike — that's basically the ideal retro motorcycle.
Even within Royal Enfield, this has a totally different character from something like the Classic 350.
