Royal Enfield Bullet 650 spied with Guerrilla 450

– May be released in mid-2025

– It has the same engine as the Interceptor 650

Royal Enfield has rigorously tested many of its upcoming bikes, with the Guerrilla 450 stealing all the limelight of late. Ahead of the official launch, which is scheduled for July 17, the bike has been spied several times. One such spy photo recently surfaced on social media. What’s more interesting this time is the presence of a Bullet 650 test mule that was parked alongside the Guerrilla.

It looks like the Bullet 650 is getting closer and closer to production, with all its body panels looking fully finished. It borrowed all the iconic elements of the Bullet 350, such as the square rear wing and a curved, one-piece seat with a ribbed pattern. It also gets a small beak above the headlamp, which is also present on the Classic 350 and Bullet 350. Moreover, the thick fork caps, spoked wheels, teardrop-shaped fuel tank and small tiger lamps have been retained from the siblings its 350 cmc.

The engine, meanwhile, will be the same 649cc air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder unit that does service for RE’s existing midsize offerings. The spy photos also show a pair of exhaust canisters routed from the cylinder head. Now, the engine tuning could be slightly different to suit the relaxed character of the Bullet. In the existing 650cc offerings, it produces 47PS and 52Nm and comes mated to a six-speed gearbox. While the wheels look like the same 18-inch units as the Interceptor and Continental GT, the tire sizes might be slightly different.

Royal Enfield is expected to launch the Bullet 650 in mid-2025. The Classic 650 Twin and Scrambler 650 could debut before that, perhaps towards the end of this year.
