There’s something deeply stirring about a motorbike that promises more than just transport — it offers connection, freedom, and a story waiting to unfold. Two bikes from Royal Enfield are doing precisely that. One whispers nostalgia in every curve, the other roars with promise of the open road. Let me take you gently through these two machines, their heartbeats, and the price tags that await.
A Timeless Classic for Today: Royal Enfield Classic 350
There’s a comforting whisper in the air whenever the Royal Enfield Classic 350 rolls by — the timeless teardrop tank, the wire-spoke wheels, the echo of an era when machines were built to last and to mean something. And the latest version of the Classic 350 keeps that soul intact while updating what matters.
The starting ex-showroom price in India for the 2024-25 Royal Enfield Classic 350 is ₹1,99,500, rising up to around ₹2,30,000 for the top variants.
Under its skin, you’ll find the J-platform, 349 cc single-cylinder engine that produces about 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed box. To ride it is to lean into simplicity. You’ll feel the warmth of the engine, the gentle thrum beneath you, the freedom that comes from a machine built to live on roads and in memories. If your heart wants a bike that’s welcoming and dependable, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 may just look back at you.
The Royal Enfield Classic 650
Then there’s the Royal Enfield Classic 650 — the louder, broader-shouldered sibling that says, “Yes, we’ll ride over hills, we’ll chase sunsets, and we won’t hurry back.” It carries the heritage styling of the Classic line but with a twin-cylinder,Royal Enfield 648 cc heart that kicks out 46.9 bhp and 52.3 Nm of torque.
Prices for the Royal Enfield Classic 650 begin at roughly ₹3.37 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant, and reach up to about ₹3.50 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top-trim version.
To mount the Classic 650 is to give yourself permission for grander rides. The riding posture, the size, the sound — it all says you’re not just commuting; you’re expressing. If you’ve got miles in your mind and stories waiting in your heart, this bike may beckon.

Choosing Your Journey
If I might speak plainly: choose the Royal Enfield Classic 350 if you want a bike that holds you tenderly, something you’ll ride often, smile at, and trust with ease. Choose the Royal Enfield Classic 650 if your ambitions are large, your routes long, your ride more than just a routine.
Either way, you’re choosing more than metal and engine. You’re choosing identity, freedom, the kind of ride that makes you feel.
Remember though: the prices listed are ex-showroom, they vary by city, taxes, variants, accessories and availability. The on-road amount could be significantly more, depending on your state and extras.
And as with all big decisions: take a test ride, see how your heart and instinct respond, check the dealership’s service and support network — because owning the dream is different from just buying the bike.
