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?
Find your twin,
