If there was one thing missing from Royal Enfield’s Classic lineup, it’s a bigger and more powerful engine. The 500 was okay, but at the end of the day, it’s a single. The 350, meanwhile, doesn’t even breach the 400cc mark.
That has since changed, however, with the debut of the Royal Enfield Classic 650. And now, it’s finally made its way to the Philippines courtesy of local distributor Motociclista Scatola (MSI).
It still stays true to the Classic nameplate, with its no-frills build and its beautiful retro design. There’s a round headlamp and a teardrop tank up front, and it flaunts a healthy amount of chrome just like any other classic RE. And true to the Indian motorcycle manufacturer’s signature styling, the Classic 650 also sports beautiful pinstripes.

But of course, the biggest talking point here is the engine. You’re looking at a 648cc air- and oil-cooled parallel-twin pushing out 46.3hp and 52.3Nm of torque. Like the bike’s actual mainframe, this powertrain is shared with the Super Meteor and Shotgun 650.
Only one variant of the Classic 650 is available, but there are three colorways with varying price tags. You can check out the full price list below.

“Amongst the motorcycles that Royal Enfield has introduced for the Filipino market, the Classic has always had a special place in the hearts of loyal riders,” said Royal Enfield APAC business head Anuj Dua. “Not only has it rooted the brand in the market but has also etched the philosophy of pure motorcycling in the riding community.
“The Classic has kept us rooted and committed to our brand legacy. The new Classic 650 not only upholds and embodies this spirit—it serves it up in a double measure on our world-class 650 twin platform. We’ve stayed true to the Classic’s purpose and character, and retained its quintessential style, design and elegance. With its fine craftsmanship, majestic road-presence, and refined powertrain we believe this motorcycle will resonate deeply with the customers in Philippines and further deepen the brand love.”
