The Royal Enfield Bullet 650 is a roadster motorcycle from Royal Enfield. It is currently on sale. Naked and roadster bikes pair a lively engine with an upright riding position and little or no fairing, which makes them easy to live with every day. With a 648 cc engine it sits in the middleweight 450–800 cc class.
Power comes from a 648 cc twin-cylinder fuel-injected engine that makes 34.6 kW at 7,250 rpm and 52.3 Nm of torque at 5,650 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (78 mm x 67.8 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 194 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. It has electric start.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 5-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
It is built around a steel tubular spine frame. Suspension is by telescopic fork 43 mm at the front and twin shock at the rear. Braking is by twin 320 mm discs at the front and twin 300 mm discs at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 19-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels — 100/90- R19 at the front and 140/70- R18 at the rear.
The seat is 800 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 243 kg ready to ride, which is heavy, so parking and tight U-turns need care. Ground clearance is 154 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 2,260 mm long, with 1,480 mm between the axles. It carries 14.8 L of fuel.
Equipment includes an analogue and digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, turn-by-turn navigation, USB charging port, call and SMS alerts, gear position indicator and service due indicator. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, hazard light switch, low fuel indicator and malfunction indicator.
