Royal Enfield unveils new Bullet 650, the oldest bike in continuous production
Royal Enfield unveiled its latest Bullet 650 model during the 2026 Audrain Concours Motor Week in Rhode Island, giving U.S. motorcycle enthusiasts their first chance to see the latest model of the world’s oldest motorcycle in continuous production.
The first Royal Enfield Bullet model dates to 1932, making it the longest continuously produced motorcycle model. Alongside the Bullet 650, Royal Enfield showcased a selection of historic motorcycles, highlighting the brand’s 125-year journey and its global influence on motorcycling culture.
Some of the Bullet 650’s highlights include its parallel-twin engine, responsive power for both relaxed and spirited rides, and a six-speed gearbox and light slipper clutch. It also features a pair of chrome peashooter exhausts and optimized Showa suspension that absorbs imperfections.
“The Bullet 650 is one of the iconic models, a real crown jewel in the Royal Enfield product range. We were excited to have it with us for the Audrain Concours Motor Week and show the public what a special machine this is. Riders can now see the bike in retailers across North America, and experience the bike for themselves via our demo fleets.” — Nathan Kolbe, Head of Marketing – Royal Enfield Americas Region
