The Super Meteor 650 gets a LED headlight with the nacelle mounted on stays with brushed aluminium finish, underscoring the premium build quality and finish of what will be likely the brand’s flagship motorcycle once it goes on sale.

The Royal Enfield logo on the fuel tank is newly designed, and fuel tank capacity is 15.7 litres.

The Royal Enfield logo on the fuel tank employs the existing font, but the badging has been re-designed to give it fresh appeal.

The rotary switches for the high beam, low beam and pass switch, as well as the engine kill switch are similar to the Meteor 350’s, but the switch cubes also employ a brushed aluminium finish, a first for any Royal Enfield motorcycle.

Accessories include soft leatherette panniers, a windshield, engine crash guards and more.

Several accessories, including leatherette panniers, a tall windshield, engine crash guards, bigger rear-view mirrors and a pillion back-rest will be offered, as part of the Grand Tourer package.
