One of the strongest driving forces behind someone's purchase of the Classic 650 will be its charming design.
The Classic 650’s feature set is very similiar to the smaller 350’s and you get the same handsome digi-analogue display and a USB-C charger.
The engine’s strong points such as its creamy smooth refinement, easygoing but punchy performance and that lovely soundtrack, have all been carried forward.
At 243kg, the Classic 650 is a big, heavy thing and you feel that weight at a standstill, while pushing it around and during u-turns but once you get going, it isn't a problem.
While the Classic 650’s ride is marginally better than the Shotgun, it still has that underlying stiff feeling, very much unlike its smaller sibling.
With its strong brand recall, fantastic design and ability to hold triple digit speeds without any fuss, the charming Classic 650 Twin could become one of the bestselling RE 650s.
