Royal Enfield Classic 650 2025

Royal Enfield Classic 650 2025

The Classic 650 combines a consistent retro look with riding pleasure suitable for everyday use and real character. It does have a few small shortcomings, but they are bearable. You also have to come to terms with the rather high vehicle weight. On the other hand, it slows you down without limiting you, has a strong character, is easy to ride and delivers exactly the feel-good vibes that retro fans are looking for - both when touring and in everyday life.

Charming in-line two-cylinder engine with sufficient power for country roads and leisurely motorway rides

Extremely successful retro look with great attention to detail

Consistent retro shapes

Pleasant riding position

Harmonious steering behaviour

Not very loud, but nice bassy sound

Relatively heavy

rear brakes toxic, front brakes rather lax

transmission somewhat imprecise in places

Kawasaki W800 2012

Kawasaki W800 2012

Without purpose, without instruction, without duty. And the more time you spend with her, the more you realise that the whole world can do you. Like in the sixties.

Plenty of power

stable

comfortable seat

confident look

user-friendly handling.

Rather high total weight.
