Either someone from ACI, BikeWale and ZigWheels mistakenly released their reviews instead of the Bear650, or we get two RE 650 reviews in one day

attaching a link to my post in case one wishes to admire how beautiful it looks in images.

Re: Royal Enfield Bullet 650 spotted testing for the first time

As Royal Enfield has brought back some of the iconic colours of the Classic 500 for the new Classic 650 Twin, I am hopeful that they will do the same for the Bullet 650 Twin as well. Would love to see the Forest Green and the Grey make a comeback.

Engine as stressed member
- Super Meteor 650
- Shotgun 650
- Classic 650 - this is based on the SG650 seat pattern
- Bullet 650 - one piece thicker seat on boxy rear mudguard

RE is also playing with the wheel sizes, 19, 18, 17, 16 inchers!
Six out of seven are out! Will RE launch the Bullet 650 at Motoverse? I think they'll re-launch the Classic 650 in Goa with prices for India and give it some breathing space in the showrooms. The RE showroom will be a crowded place with 13 bikes already listed!

Coming back to the twins,

Double cradle frame
  • Interceptor 650 - 18F 18R (alloys/spoke rims)
  • Continental GT 650 - 18F 18R [Next gen should get USD, 17F 17R alloys]
  • Bear 650 - 19F 17R (spoke rims)
Engine as a stressed member
  • Super Meteor 650 - 19F 16R (alloys)
  • Shotgun 650 - 18F 17R (alloys)
  • Classic 650 - 19F 18R (spoke rims)
  • Bullet 650 - one piece thicker seat on boxy rear mudguard - 19F 18R (spoke rims)

There's one big surprise which might never materialize, this is a big-bore kit prototype bike seen at Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Will RE call it the Camel 650?
