Royal Enfield will launch the new Bullet 650 in Japan on August 27, powered by a 648cc air-cooled parallel-twin. It comes in Cannon Black and Battleship Blue, priced from ¥980,100 to ¥995,500, with pre-orders opening August 7 at authorized dealers nationwide.
Look at the spec sheet: 648cc air-cooled parallel-twin, 47 hp — refreshingly honest in an era of water-cooling and electronics for everything. SOHC four-valve, air-cooled, betting it all on character. 242kg wet isn't light, but that teardrop tank with hand-painted pinstripes gets me every time.

47hp at 242kg — power-to-weight is pretty average.
Air-cooled twin at this weight sounds like a slog honestly.
Battleship Blue is calling my name, pre-ordering day one.
Not the old Bullet at all, but the spirit's still there.
980k yen for an Enfield is actually a fair price.
