The Classic 650 boasts the signature round headlamp with a metallic nacelle, reminiscent of the Classic 350’s front styling. The teardrop-shaped fuel tank, angular triangular side panels, twin chrome pea-shooter exhausts, and chrome accents give the bike a distinctive, standout appearance. Other notable features include wire-spoke wheels, adjustable levers, an analogue console paired with a small LCD display, LED lighting, and dual-channel ABS.
