    ‘What’s in a name?’ – well, if the said name happens to be Classic and you’re Royal Enfield, then everything. You see, if there’s one motorcycle that single-handedly transformed Royal Enfield’s fortunes – in India and worldwide – it has to be the Classic.</p>

<p>The ‘Classic’ name first appeared in 2009, when RE introduced the all-new Classic 500 and 350, powered by their then-modern UCE engine. The twins were an instant hit among the masses, perfectly blending the Royal Enfield vintage charm with newfound reliability and refinement. Naturally, the Classic range set the cash registers ringing, and how! Buoyed by its success, RE scaled new heights, poured resources into fresh platforms, and transformed itself into the global powerhouse that it is today.</p>

<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Royal-Enfield-Classic-650--1762924370479.webp" alt="Royal Enfield Classic 650-.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>



<p>Over the past decade and a half, the Classic has remained RE’s star performer, consistently topping sales charts. Most of its success, of course, came from the Classic 350, especially after the 500’s discontinuation in 2020. Last year, though, RE revived the idea of a bigger Classic – this time with more cubic capacity, an extra cylinder, and heaps of cool. Enter the Classic 650 – a motorcycle that merges the nostalgia and philosophy of the original with the superior engineering of RE’s 650 platform. A winning formula? You bet.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/royal-enfield-classic-650-first-ride-review-revisiting-the-golden-formula-120450/">Royal Enfield Classic 650 First Ride Review: Revisiting the Golden Formula</a></p>

<p>Despite no mechanical similarities with the smaller 350, the Classic 650 instantly feels familiar. The moment you lay eyes on it, you know RE has nailed the brief again. It’s a true modern classic – the silhouette is unmistakably Classic, the proportions are beefier, and the detailing is spot-on. Round LED headlamps, analogue dials, authentic metal bodywork, and those gorgeous colourways – every element is exquisitely executed. Compared to the 350, which is no featherweight itself, the 650 looks brawnier, all thanks to its 648cc parallel-twin engine and low-slung twin exhausts. At 243kg, it’s quite hefty too, but once you’re on the move, the weight quickly disappears – just like your worries.</p>

<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Royal-Enfield-Classic-650-Motion-1762924383682.webp" alt="Royal Enfield Classic 650-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>



<p>On the go, the power delivery is creamy, performance effortless, and the relaxed ergonomics turn every ride into a therapy session – yes, even on the racetrack. As for ride quality, it’s firm but composed. Like most modern RE 650s, the setup leans toward the stiffer side, although it’s far more compliant than that of the Super Meteor or the Bear 650.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/royal-enfield-classic-650-vs-interceptor-650-spec-comparison-whats-different-120413/">Royal Enfield Classic 650 vs Interceptor 650 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>The suspension is taut and absorbent without ever feeling punishing. Sure, it’s not as plush as the Classic 350’s, but that’s the point – the 650 delivers the signature Classic experience with a slightly different flavour, yet with the same intent and emotion. The Classic 650 is more than just a name – it’s a whole new vibe, which is what makes it worthy of the ‘Best of 2025’ tag.

Royal Enfield Classic 650 Wins Bike of the Year - autoX Awards 2025

Compared to the 350, which is no featherweight itself, the Royal Enfield Classic 650 looks brawnier, all thanks to its 648cc parallel-twin engine and low-slung twin exhausts.

<p>
    If there’s one motorcycle that’s built for those who take life easy, it’s the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350. The name says it all. It’s a motorcycle that embraces the Goan spirit of susegad – relaxed, carefree, and unhurried. One look at it tells you exactly what it stands for. The bobber-inspired design is a visual delight, featuring clean, flowing lines, a single-seat layout, whitewall tubeless spoked tyres, and retro details that give the Goan Classic genuine presence. Pair that with quirky yet tasteful colour options, and you’ve got a motorcycle that turns heads wherever it goes.</p>

<p>It was easily one of the most striking motorcycles on the track, even though it had no business being there in the first place. Underneath its old-school design sits the familiar 349cc single-cylinder J-series engine, which also powers the Classic and Meteor 350. It makes around 20.2bhp and 27Nm – enough for a charming, thumpy ride.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/royal-enfield-goan-classic-350-first-ride-review-classic-with-a-twist-2024-india-autox-119123/">Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 | First Ride Review | Classic with a Twist | 2024 India | autoX</a></p><p>The exhaust note is smooth, and the throttle response is linear, while pops and crackles on downshifts add a touch of drama.</p>

<p>This is a bike that loves to cruise, not chase lap times. But that didn’t stop us from testing its limits at the Buddh International Circuit. Given its limited cornering clearance, the feeler bolts wore down quickly. However, the relatively stiff suspension setup provided decent stability around corners. It’s not agile or flickable but it holds its line with dignity and charm – a true gentleman of motorcycles, and not a track hooligan.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/royal-enfield-goan-classic-350-vs-classic-350-spec-comparison-whats-different-119138/">Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 vs Classic 350 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p>

<p>At 197kg, the Goan Classic is not a lightweight machine, but its low 750mm seat height and upright ergonomics make it accessible and comfortable. The tall ape-style handlebars add to its laid-back attitude and don’t really compromise handling during everyday use. Whether riding around town or heading out for a lazy Sunday coffee run, the Goan Classic 350 feels perfectly at home. The Goan Classic isn’t about speed or precision. It’s the kind of motorcycle that makes you want to slow down, take the long route, and perhaps stop for a photo or two along the way.

Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 at autoX Awards: Best Bikes of 2025 Ranked

At 197kg, the Royal Enfield Goan Classic is not a lightweight machine, but its low 750mm seat height and upright ergonomics make it accessible and comfortable.

<p>
    The Royal Enfield Bear 650 entered our jury round with high expectations from every member, promising to be the scrambler interpretation of the brand’s celebrated 650-twin platform. Inspired by 1960s Californian desert racers, its design is its biggest highlight. However, this is where the praise ends and the bike’s identity crisis begins. The term ‘scrambler’ implies off-road capability and rough-road comfort. The Bear delivers neither. And that’s why it scored a low 5/10 for comfort and practicality. </p><p>Our experience at the track confirmed the initial impressions from our first ride review – the new reinforced frame and long-travel Showa suspension are overly stiff for everyday roads and feel nervous over rutted off-road sections.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/re-bear-650-first-ride-review-offroad-machine-or-overdressed-interceptor-118860/">Royal Enfield Bear 650 First Ride Review: Offroad Machine or Overdressed Interceptor?</a></p>



<p>Ironically, this same stiffness – a flaw in the real world – is what allows the Bear to shine on the race track. Despite posting a lap time of 1:25.3 – earning a dismal 1.6/5 for performance – the bike felt surprisingly planted, sharp, and extremely torquey on the smooth tarmac of the BIC. It’s not fast, but it feels planted. This is not an off-roader; it’s a stiff on-road canyon carver in scrambler clothing.</p>

</div>

<p>The engine, scoring a solid 7.5/10, is another of the bike’s highlights. The new 2-into-1 exhaust and revised tuning make it feel livelier and snappier, with a nice spread of performance in the low- and mid-range. But as we settled in and pushed harder, it began to feel strained at the top end, which, combined with the 21-inch front wheel, marred what could have been a very satisfying on-track experience.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ktm-390-enduro-r-vs-royal-enfield-bear-650-spec-comparison-whats-different-120498/">KTM 390 Enduro R vs Royal Enfield Bear 650 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p>

<p>Overall, the Bear 650 is a confusing motorcycle. For the price it commands, you can get more comfortable and capable motorcycles. While it looks fantastic and has a strong engine, it left the jury wanting more. In fact, the other 650cc Royal Enfield in this year’s lineup felt like a better thought-out and more cohesive package.

Royal Enfield Bear 650 at autoX Awards: Best Bikes of 2025 Ranked

 The new 2-into-1 exhaust and revised tuning make the Royal Enfield Bear 650 feel livelier and snappier, with a nice spread of performance in the low- and mid-range.

The Royal Enfield Scram 440 was one of those motorcycles that sparked quite a debate among the jury at this year’s track day. On the one hand, it’s undeniably more refined and enjoyable than before. It’s a motorcycle that’s easy to like both on and off the tarmac. On the other hand, it still feels like a model that’s not quite finished. The ingredients are all there, but the recipe could use a bit more flavour. The Scram 440 uses the same re-bored LS 411 engine that powered the older Himalayan, paired with a new 6-speed gearbox. Its power and torque figures have increased slightly by 1bhp and 2Nm, respectively, compared to those of the older 411cc engine. It’s not blisteringly quick, but it’s definitely more polished.</p>

<p>On the track, however, the Scram 440’s limitations were quite apparent. The soft suspension setup and 19-inch front wheel result in slightly lazy handling, especially around fast corners.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/new-royal-enfield-scram-440-now-with-tubeless-tyres-more-power-2024-india-first-look-autox-119122/">New Royal Enfield Scram 440 | Now With Tubeless Tyres &amp; More Power | 2024 India | First Look | autoX</a></p><p>The front end feels a bit disconnected at high speeds – a stark reminder that this bike was not designed for apex-hunting. Its natural playground lies elsewhere – take it on real-world roads, and the Scram 440 redeems itself admirably. It soaks up bumps and potholes with ease, thanks to 190mm of suspension travel at the front and 180mm at the rear. Given its 200mm ground clearance, it can also tackle mild trails and rough backroads with ease. It’s not an all-out off-roader, but it carries just enough dual-sport DNA to keep things interesting.</p>

<p>It now comes with a new LED headlight and fresh colour schemes. On higher trims, it also gets alloy wheels with tubeless tyres – a step up in terms of practicality. Lower variants, however, still come with traditional wire-spoke wheels with tubes. The riding position is upright and relaxed, with a 795mm seat height and neutral footpeg placement, making it accessible and comfortable for most riders.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/royal-enfield-scram-440-vs-guerrilla-450-spec-comparison-whats-different-119719/">Royal Enfield Scram 440 vs Guerrilla 450 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p>

<p>At ₹2.23 - 2.31 lakh (ex-showroom), the Scram 440 occupies an interesting middle ground. It’s more refined and feature-rich than before. In short, the Scram 440 certainly is a step forward – just not a giant one.

The company is expected to keep the same base engine while tailoring performance to specific rally requirements.</p>
