Is the Classic 650 too heavy for some riders?
Ashutosh 09 January 2025 09:15
Riders are always hot about weight when it comes to motorcycles, especially those that are marketed as being easy to use and accessible. It is said to weigh around 243kg, which is a lot heavier than its 350cc counterpart. This weight increase puts in question the handling the bike may take, notably at low speed or in city use. Riders say the extra weight offers stability and a more planted feel on the road, but others are concerned it could make the bike less manageable for newer, or smaller, riders. This weight becomes the subject of debate too, as to how it stacks up against other bikes in 650cc class, and whether Royal Enfield could have done more to keep the weight down without diluting the bike’s character or build quality.

It’s pretty hefty, 243kg, no way around it. You’ll find it to be a pain to manoeuvre in tight spots, or if you need to push it around. Shorter or less experienced riders might find this to be a dealbreaker.
