Royal Enfield Classic 650 125th Anniversary Edition Showcased at EICMA 2025

Royal Enfield has unveiled the Classic 650 125th Anniversary Edition motorcycle at EICMA 2025, in celebration of 125 years of its first ever motorcycle which was introduced back in 1901. The special edition model marks a milestone in the company’s history while retaining the design identity of the Classic series. The company is expected to introduce the Classic 650 125th Anniversary Edition motorcycle in India soon.

The Royal Enfield Classic 650 125th Anniversary Edition motorcycle carries forward the familiar silhouette of the Classic 650, featuring the teardrop-shaped fuel tank and nacelle-style headlamp. In this special edition the company has introduced an exclusive ‘Hypershift’ paint scheme that transitions between shades of red and gold depending on the light and viewing angle. A gold-embossed 125 Years crest is placed on the tank to signify the anniversary.

In addition to the colour treatment, the engine cases, exhaust, and wire-spoke rims are finished in black. The seat gets a partly quilted pattern, distinguishing it from the standard variants.

On the mechanical front, the Classic 650 125th Anniversary Edition remains unchanged. It houses the 648cc parallel-twin petrol engine that generates about 46.39 bhp and 52.3 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox featuring an assist and slipper clutch.

Siddhartha Lal, Executive Chairman, Eicher Motors Ltd., said, "For 125 years, Royal Enfield has stood as an enduring symbol of authenticity, craftsmanship, and the pure joy of motorcycling. What began as a simple pursuit of building honest, beautiful motorcycles has evolved into a global culture that celebrates exploration, community, and self-expression. This incredible milestone is not just about looking back on our legacy, but looking ahead with clarity and conviction. As we look to the next 125 years, our mission remains the same, to build motorcycles with soul and make Pure Motorcycling accessible to riding enthusiasts around the world."
