2. Design aur Styling: “Old School Cool” Modern Avatar Mein
Bullet ka design hamesha se “Simple aur Macho” raha hai. Bullet 650 Twin mein bhi wahi DNA barkarar hai.
- Signature Fuel Tank: Isme wahi teardrop shape tank hai jo pichle 90 saalon se Bullet ki pehchaan hai. Sabse khaas baat ye hai ki is par Hand-painted sunehri pinstripes (Gold lines) di gayi hain, jo Madras ke expert karigaron dwara banayi jati hain.
- Lights & Chrome: Bike par chrome ka kaam dekhkar aapka dil khush ho jayega. Front mein iconic Tiger Eyes (Pilot lamps) ko LED touch diya gaya hai. Iska headlamp unit Interceptor 650 jaisa hai lekin casing Bullet style ki hai.
- Exhaust System: Isme lambe ‘Peashooter’ exhausts diye gaye hain jo puri tarah se chrome mein lipte hue hain. Ye na sirf dikhne mein retro lagte hain balki inki sound bhi kaafi “Bass-heavy” hai.
3. Engine Performance: Parallel-Twin Ka Jadoo
Is bike ka dil wahi 648cc parallel-twin engine hai jisne global market mein RE ko ek nayi pehchaan di hai.
- Power Delivery: 47.4 PS ki power aur 52.3 Nm ka torque ise ek ‘Beast’ banata hai. Iska torque delivery itna linear hai ki aap 40 kmph ki speed par 5th gear mein bhi bike ko bina “knocking” ke utha sakte hain.
- Refinement: Purani Bullet 350 ya 500 mein vibrations ki shikayat hoti thi, lekin Bullet 650 makkhan jaisi smooth hai. 120 kmph ki speed par bhi aapke haathon ya pairon mein koi jhunjhunahat (vibrations) mehsus nahi hogi.
- Clutch & Gearbox: Isme 6-speed gearbox ke saath Slip-and-Assist clutch diya gaya hai. Iska matlab hai ki traffic mein baar-baar gear change karne par bhi aapka hath thakega nahi.
4. Ride Quality aur Handling: Kitni Bhari Hai Ye Bike?
Yahan par ek bada mudda hai—Weight. 243 kg kerb weight ke saath, ye Royal Enfield ki ab tak ki sabse bhari bike hai.
- Handling: Halaki weight zyada hai, lekin iska center of gravity kaafi niche rakha gaya hai. Chalti bike mein aapko weight mehsus nahi hoga, lekin agar aap ise traffic mein ‘U-turn’ lenge ya parking mein piche karenge, toh aapko apni taqat lagani padegi.
- Suspension: Front mein 43mm telescopic forks aur rear mein twin shock absorbers diye gaye hain. Iski tuning ‘Classic 650’ ke muqable thodi soft rakhi gayi hai taaki kharab sadkon par bhi rider ko jhatke kam lagein.
- Tires & Brakes: Isme 19-inch front aur 18-inch rear Spoke Wheels diye gaye hain. Puncture hone par tube change karna thoda mushkil ho sakta hai kyunki ye tubeless nahi hain. Braking ke liye 320mm front aur 300mm rear disc ke saath Dual-Channel ABS standard milta hai.
5. Features aur Technology: Retro Lekin Smart
Bullet 650 Twin sirf dikhne mein purani hai, andar se ye kaafi modern hai:
- Digi-Analogue Console: Speedometer purana analogue style ka hai, lekin niche ek choti digital screen di gayi hai jo Fuel Gauge, Trip meters aur Gear position indicator dikhati hai.
- Tripper Navigation: MotorDost ke readers ke liye achi khabar ye hai ki isme Tripper Navigation pod standard (Company se hi laga hua) mil sakta hai, jo Bluetooth ke zariye aapko rasta batayega.
- Charging: Handlebar ke paas ek USB Type-C port bhi diya gaya hai taaki aap raste mein apna phone charge kar sakein.
6. Bullet 650 Twin vs Classic 650: Asli Antar Kya Hai?
Ye wo sawal hai jo har buyer ke mann mein hai. Dono bikes ek hi platform par bani hain, lekin:
- Seat: Bullet mein single piece “Bench Seat” hai, jabki Classic mein split-seat (do hisson wali) milti hai.
- Riding Stance: Bullet ka handlebar thoda uncha hai, jo aapko ek “Dominating” seating position deta hai.
- Fenders: Bullet ke mudguards lambe hain jo use zyada retro look dete hain.
- Badging: Bullet par 3D “Winged Badge” milta hai jo Classic par nahi hota.
7. Maintenance aur Service Cost (2026 Estimates)
Bullet 650 ka maintenance Interceptor 650 ke barabar hi rahega:
- Service Interval: Pehli service 500 km par, uske baad har 5,000 km ya 6 mahine mein.
- Cost: Ek normal service ka kharcha ₹2,500 se ₹4,000 ke beech rahega (Oil change aur filter ke saath).
- Parts: RE ke parts ab pure Bharat mein aaram se mil jate hain, toh long tours par koi tension nahi hai.
