Royal Enfield Australia and New Zealand has officially unveiled the all-new Bullet 650 during a launch event in Melbourne, bringing its iconic Bullet nameplate together with the company’s globally successful 650cc parallel twin platform for the first time. Press: Royal Enfield ANZ

Set to arrive in Australia in June 2026, the new Bullet 650 combines classic Royal Enfield styling and heritage with the proven twin-cylinder engine already seen in models such as the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650 and Super Meteor 650. Royal Enfield describes the new model as a tribute to “impeccable British lineage and indomitable Indian soul,” continuing the Bullet legacy that dates back to 1932.

Classic Bullet DNA retained:

Despite the move to the larger 650 platform, the new Bullet retains many of the design elements that have defined the model for generations. The bike features traditional hand-painted pinstripes, the iconic nacelle headlight housing, vintage-style bench seat, winged tank badge and upright riding position synonymous with the Bullet name.

Underneath the retro styling sits Royal Enfield’s proven 648cc air/oil-cooled parallel twin engine paired with a six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch. The engine has become one of the company’s most successful modern powerplants thanks to its smooth torque delivery, relaxed cruising ability and approachable nature.

Royal Enfield says the Bullet 650 has been designed to preserve the timeless character of the original while adding the refinement, performance and usability expected from a modern motorcycle.
