Royal Enfield has officially launched the Bullet 650 in India, priced at ₹3,64,856 (Chennai ex-factory). The 647.95cc BS6 twin produces 46.39hp and 52.3Nm. It's offered in two colors — Cannon Black and Battleship Blue (the latter exclusive to India). It's the first parallel-twin model to carry the Bullet name, positioned in the same price bracket as the Classic 650.

From a European perspective, Royal Enfield's brand strategy is genuinely clever. By pulling the historic Bullet name into the twin-cylinder era, they're trying to capture both old and new fans at once. From that perspective, that a bike out of India could get this refined would have been unimaginable 15 years ago. Even converted to European prices, this bracket remains fully competitive, they say.

At the same price I prefer the Classic 650's design more - I'd go with that one.

Rs 3.65 lakh is about 650,000 yen? The local price is so cheap, kind of jealous.

Is a lakh a unit of Indian currency?

648cc and 46hp - sounds like a tune more about the pulse than raw power.

The Bullet 650 looks great. Jealous of India, wish this would come to Japan too.

The Bullet going twin-cylinder really shows the times - that single-cylinder thump used to be its whole soul.

Right, does it even make sense to put the Bullet name on a parallel-twin?
