RE Classic 650 spotted in UK ahead of nearing launch: What to expect

The motorcycle will be available with spoke wire wheels and might also get alloy wheels option.
Underneath its classic styling, the familiar 648cc parallel twin engine of the Classic 650. It delivers 47 hp and 52 Nm of torque, identical to its siblings in the 650cc range. The engine will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch.

Royal Enfield has equipped the model with features such as telescopic front forks, dual-channel ABS, LED lighting. Additional tech may also include Tripper navigation, adjustable levers, and even a Type-C charging port. The model is expected to make its global debut at EICMA 2024. Later, it is likely that the manufacturer will showcase the model at Motoverse 2024 . It will go against the BSA Gold Star 650, which, however, has a single-cylinder engine.
