Here are a couple more teaser images posted by RE on Instagram. It looks like a custom concept at first glance. The bike is set to be unveiled today at 7pm IST.

A single seat 650cc twin bobber? I thought it would be the cruiser they been testing. Hope it is not a one-off custom.

They should've gone for a better colour scheme.

This does look good, hopefully does have a option for a pillion too.

Interesting! I'm more intrigued by the name though - could 'SG' stand for Shotgun? Hope it does

.

Cheers!

Edit: Adding a few more images of the bike. (source - BikeDekho)

The integrated speedo console seems to be aerodynamically designed one but the rotary buttons in left side handle bar looks ugly.

Any close up pictures of the speedometer console ?

650 twins were launched on December 26th after the EICMA unveil that year ? Want to know when this will hit the showroom

This is concept I guess, but the real one should look very close, Looks tempting indeed. The red color with black accents will look stunning.

ss125_i10 · 24th November 2021, 10:00

Concept looks super and promising. Very happy to see more interesting products from RE.

Rear mud guard, tail light, seats look similar to Meteor, Indicators look cool as well, hope similar design comes into the production version as well ?

Hope they price it aggressively like the 650 twins.

I have not been using bikes for close to 10 years now, and would want to break the fasting with an RE

Here is a video walkaround of the Royal Enfield stall at EICMA 2021 with some good footage of the SG650. The more I see the concept bike, the more I love it. Im sure that this would have given the Harley Davidson Street 750 a run for its money in the street cred department.

Don't the Bar end mirrors remind you of something

This bike looks stunning indeed, I hope majority of it is retained for the final production model. My only concern would be the weight and the ground clearance on this, in addition to the niggles that you get as a character with a RE bike.

Excellent catch! I was wondering if anyone else would notice it. That gives me hope that this "concept" isnt going to be all that far off from the actual production motorcycle. I would say only the wheels, tires (something from an Indian manufacturer) and the interesting digital gauge would really change. The rest of the bike looks to be very close to what can be rolled out from their production line in 2022.

I have seen feedback from fellow bikers that couldnt believe that the SG650 is a concept from Royal Enfield. Mark Wells gave all of the usual spiel that this is just to gauge customer interest etc but who is he kidding? I predict a 2022 launch for this exciting bike, along with the Meteor 650 and the Hunter 350.
