ROYAL ENFIELD CLASSIC 650 FIRST RIDE REVIEW

ROYAL ENFIELD CLASSIC 650 FIRST RIDE REVIEW
We ride the new Royal Enfield Classic 650 in and around beautiful Coonoor. The new Classic 650 is may be the replacement for the Classic 500, but it’s more expensive, significantly heavier and more performance-oriented as well. Surprisingly, it exceeded our expectations, but it’s still not without faults. We talk about what could have been better, and if it has the qualities to make it as successful as the Classic 350.
