Royal Enfield Classic 650 celebrates 125 years
Royal Enfield's motorcycling history began in 1901. To mark its 125th anniversary, the brand is revisiting those beginnings with a special edition of the Classic 650. The anniversary model was first unveiled at EICMA 2025, and Royal Enfield has now released the details on registration and delivery. 125 units are earmarked for the European market, so the limited run explicitly applies to Europe.
Royal Enfield Classic 650 with 650 twin
Royal Enfield names the 650 twin as the powerplant. The Classic's teardrop tank and distinctive headlamp nacelle are retained. The focus of the announced anniversary edition is on the special paint finish and the birthday-themed details. The press release does not mention any additional performance figures or technical changes to the engine or chassis.

There's more to the paintwork than a golden birthday greeting. According to Royal Enfield, the specially developed Hypershift finish shifts between red, green and gold depending on how the light hits it. The brass-coloured base tone is meant to evoke the brand's first motorcycles from 1901. On top of that come glossy gold accents, a gilded crest bearing the inscription "125 Years", special emblems on the side panels and hand-painted pinstripes.
