Out here in Oakland, Royal Enfield gets respected as a tasteful, understated brand. If the Bullet 650 comes with a 648cc parallel twin, it can absolutely compete here in America depending on the price. It's not just Harley, there's definitely a crowd over here looking for an affordable middleweight like this. And that color name, Canon Black, has a nice understated edge to it too.

What's a 'lakh'? Some kind of Indian pricing unit...?

1 lakh = 100,000 rupees, so 3.5 lakh comes out to around 350,000 rupees.

Battleship Blue looks great, honestly I'd pick this one just for the color.

Starting at 3.5 lakh, that's cheaper than the Classic 650. Being the 7th model in the lineup though, isn't that a bit much?

46.4bhp/52.3Nm — that's the same unit as the other 650 twins. They're sharing the internals.

Bullet's always been a single-cylinder thing in my mind, and now it's a 648 twin. Feels like they're just keeping the name for nostalgia.

Right? A parallel twin on a Bullet just feels wrong. Feels like they're cheapening the legacy name.
