    At least that rear mud guard will actually live up to its name. It's ridiculous how many bikes throw road filth up the riders back. I do prefer the Enfield even compared to the Triumph Bobber

    For me RE nailed it with that teal colour. Btw if you sit on the bike the gap between the fender and the wheel disappears.
    Now imagen it with those whitewall tyres RE uses on the new 350 GOAN. Oh boy I just started drooling.

    The Classic has always defined Royal Enfield, and now this 650 Classic will take the markets by storm. The rest of the models are just for competition's sake, I own the 350 the 500 and now this 650 too will be in my garage soon. And as the saying goes " F**k the plastic, get a Classic !

      first of all that is not a mudguard , that is a Fender, Fenders offer a much better protection from getting sprayed with road grime...Mud guards are just little pieces of plastic that clips on to your seat post and are useless for anybody who rides all year round especially in winter.

    I think a big part of why the fender looks so huge is that they left the rear seats off of all the press bikes. Even a rear rack would help scale it down :) Totally agree on the paint jobs. The cream ones don't appeal to me at all, but the black and green with classic liveries are awesome!

    Seen it yesterday at the show and as an interceptor owner, I think they have got it dead right. In my opinion this is superb and fantastic value for money. The seating position is also perfect. Definitely a classic 650 for me next. I went to the triumph stand and everything was twice the money and not twice the quality. Royal Enfield for me every time.

    the gap between the top of the tire and fender on my 2015 classic 500 is bigger. it's just that the fender on my classic 500 comes down further and closer to the tire in the back. i love this look on the classic 650. and with a rider on it to compress the rear shocks some it looks really sleek. i am getting a teal one for sure.

    We all should be happy that RE makes such classic bikes. We can ride around with an old machine (people don’t believe they are new😂) with just one click of a button and equipped with gear for the modern world. Nothing is ever perfect but RE gets close to it.

  • @saddle8bag
    @saddle8bag หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I don't think the fender looks that bad, With someone on it, it probably looks normal. What is harder on my eye is the way they had to lift the tank to fit the bulging engine under it. The 350 tank almost fits like a Lego on top of the engine. The new one looks a little more like an old Honda tank atop an inline 6 engine.
    Still, I can't stop looking at pics of the maroon one. Love that paint job.

    A lot of the pictures of the Classic 650 the bike was on the side stand so at an angle. I think that made the mud guard look higher in the pictures.
    On the paint scheme the cream and maroon one the tank could be maroon at the bottom with the cream on top. That would be a more traditional look that people would prefer I think.

    $12,000 Aus is a tad much for the quality so I'm thinking of rebuilding my 2020 classic 500 engine to the Hitchcocks 535cc and give it a coat of the teal paint.
    On my classic 500 Enfield I fitted a pair of the Continental all terrain higher profile tyres to fill in the guards better, fitted a Hitchcocks peashooter exhaust and I lengthened the side stand 40mm.
    When they are released I'm going to buy the rear tail lights and blinkers to fit to mine and remove the old train looking rear lights.

However it have to be replaced now. Good luck with the same stats in Enfield. But ... It's still highly probable that I'll get one soon. I really like the new classic.

    The front fender is too small and that fucking gap between the rear fender and the tire!

    With a RE 650 Interceptor and a classic 500, with Cozy sidecar in the sable... I can say.. all they did was take all the left over 500's and stuffed a 650 in the frame.... The 650 Meteor does Classic better than this... Classic... 😎

      People asked for a classic with an engine capable of modern traffic speeds. That's what they did. Meteor is not that. Meteor is a cheesy American style cruiserish bike. None of the meteor models caught my interest for even a second and I guess there's more people like me. If I'd like a cruiser I'd ride my Harley

    No, but it's been on a steady diet of pork scratchings...

    You can drive a car between the rear tire and that mudguard. AWFUL. 350 Classic is perfect.

    Reality is RE made tyre SMALLER in rear but didnt bother to make rear fender new but they just kept same fender of other RE motorcycles which have bigger tyres

      I can't believe this giy. Uncle sent and saw the bike in person, but his ears are stuck in his buttocks and questioning his eyes 🙄

    It's BAD! Big FUp from RE here, they are hurting themselves now. The frame loop is also wrong. Looks too dragged and asymmetrical, almost like an American bike. Wrong RE! Big miss. They should have made a slightly stronger 350 in 500 or 600 form. If they insist on using their twin, then set it straight vertical or at least create a frame. bad ugly dirtty wrong RE

      Don't worry, they won't hurt themselves

    Not a fan of the 650 classic at all.

    The Color Combination for 2025 are horrible…

      black and teal versions are brilliant, the rest not so much in fact

      But the colour combination of Goan Classic 350 out of nowhere looks way better than anything they've provided on Guerrilla 450, bear650 or classic 650

    Royal enfiled always finds a way to come oh so close to a perfect bike but somehow always find a way to ruin it. That brace on the side of the rear tire that angles upwards towards the back of the rear fender is a complete eye sore.
