Looks like the launch will not happen in March. There seems to be no news on sightings either. The potential launch seems atleast 6 months away.

On the contrary, sightings have started.

I have spoken to the RE Noida and they confirmed that they are taking booking for 10K (100% refundable) on a first come first serve basis, although no confirmation on when it will be available for test ride or expected day of launch. It was thoughtful for sales manager to assure me that he can ensure to arrange one from the first lot he will receive provided i make a booking within this week. Can't blame him for grinding his axe for achieving the sales target.

re: Royal Enfield Classic 650 caught testing in India | Edit: Now launched at 3.37 lakhs

Just saw an update that Royal Enfield Australia have started officially registering interests for Classic 650. Also, RE India has a page for Classic 650 now (seems to be under work).

Think launch is imminent. Can't wait for a test ride.

Royal Enfield Classic 650 Twin to be launched on March 27

The Royal Enfield Classic 650 Twin will be launched in the Indian market on March 27, 2025.

Royal Enfield Classic 650 caught testing in India | Edit: Now launched at 3.37 lakhs-20241104033132_r2-1.jpg

The Classic 650 Twin made its global debut at EICMA 2024. The bike was later showcased at Motoverse in Goa. It is the sixth model based on the brand’s 650cc platform.

The Classic 650 Twin is powered by the familiar 648cc, parallel-twin engine. This unit produces 46.4 BHP @ 7,250 rpm and 52.3 Nm @ 5,650 rpm and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox via an assist and slipper clutch.

The bike is based on a steel tubular spine frame suspended by a Showa fork in the front and dual shock absorbers in the rear. Braking is handled by disc brakes at both ends.

The Classic 650 features a circular headlamp with its signature position lamps, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a round taillight, and dual peashooter exhausts.

Judging by the looks of it, the rear suspension will continue to be stiff - similar to the meteor. If RE is listening to the feedback on their recently launched motorcycles, they will work out a better suspension on this bike.

Since they are planning to increase the 650s to 750cc, they may bring in the 500cc to slot in between these two ranges. Though I have a feeling they will be focusing more into an even higher capacity to go worldwide against competition. A Himalayan 1200cc anyone ??

Jokes aside, it brings to mind the Carberry Enfield which was a fusion of two 500cc engines in a V-Twin form to create a 1000cc bike :

re: Royal Enfield Classic 650 caught testing in India | Edit: Now launched at 3.37 lakhs

I went to a RE showroom for Himalayan Test ride and they had chairs/banners/displays set up for a launch for Classic 650 at 5-530 pm today.

I could not take proper pictures of the bike but this is what I saw getting unloaded from the truck when I was done with my test ride.

I love how RE design team is doing a stellar job and there is a pride in ownership for such gorgeous beasts.
