2025 Royal Enfield Bear 650, Classic 650, Guerrilla 450 Mega Gallery
Royal Enfield has been on a rampant push to reestablish itself on the global motorcycle scene, and last year, we got to ride three new models from the Indian brand: the 2025 Royal Enfield Bear 650, Classic 650, and Guerrilla 450. As the names suggest, the 650cc Parallel-Twin is shared around Royal Enfield’s platforms, and we’ve recently learned that the Bullet is next on the list to get it.
If you want to see a plethora of photos of all three bikes, we’ve gathered galleries for all three right here. To see more, just click on the images below to be taken to that gallery.
2025 Royal Enfield Bear 650 Review Gallery
With the Bear 650, Enfield brought to us a simple and affordable scrambler-esque motorcycle with “accessible performance and ‘big bike’ appeal,” says guest tester Guy Pickrell. RE’s familiar 650cc Parallel-Twin powers the Bear, and while it delivers “only” 47 horses, it’s enough to keep things interesting without getting carried away.
Guy praised the bike’s styling and was a fan of all five color schemes available. He also praised the retro-themed instrumentation that also offers modern functionality. On the flip side, Guy wasn’t thrilled with the suspension, calling it too stiff for his tastes, especially the shocks. He also wasn’t a fan of the limited suspension travel, restricting what the Bear could do off-road. And finally, at 476 lbs, the Bear is nearly as heavy as one, though Pickrell was impressed at how well that weight was carried.
2025 Royal Enfield Classic 650 Review Gallery
Turning our attention to the Classic 650, Royal Enfield delivers on its namesake with a modern motorcycle that looks like it was plucked right out of the 1950s. Few brands can deliver on the classic styling trend, especially if they weren’t around during the period, but Royal Enfield is one of the few that can turn to its own history when designing a bike like the Classic 650. Power comes from the 650cc Parallel-Twin that’s so ubiquitous in RE’s lineup, and its 47 horses probably would have knocked people’s socks off in the 50s. Today, we view it as fun and entertaining.
But the styling is where it’s at with the Classic 650, and guest tester Chris Cope couldn’t get enough of it. From the chrome to the period-influenced details, the Classic looks, well, classic.
Eventually, Chris stopped gawking at the styling long enough to notice a few faults with the bike. First up, any spirited riding will get you acquainted with the rev limiter really quickly. But then again, if spirited riding is what you’re after, this likely is the wrong bike for you. Even if you’re cruising, Cope noted the engine vibration could get annoying on longer rides. And finally, if you’re the type to do your own maintenance, you have to remove the exhaust to access the chain, which is annoying.

Finally, we have the Guerilla 450 — a street scrambler-style motorcycle developed alongside the Himalayan. The two bikes even share the same 452cc Single that puts out a claimed 40 horsepower and 30 lb-ft of torque. These are attention grabbers not only with their scrambler styling, but also because of the five different color options available, all of which are bright and striking. And if you’re a Los Angeles Lakers fan, you’ll especially enjoy the Yellow Ribbon colorway.
Apart from the styling, E-i-C Ryan Adams came away happy with how well balanced the suspension was, while also praising the bike’s comfortable ergonomics. However, he did note some vibrations coming through the pegs after 4,500 rpm. Other gripes include a small fuel tank and a little extra weight.
