Fuel Tank and Build Specifications
Equipped with a generous 14.7-litre fuel tank, the Classic 650 ensures longer rides without frequent fuel stops. The motorcycle weighs in at 243 kilograms, reinforcing its strong build and stable road dynamics. Much like its smaller sibling, the Classic 350, this bike includes a mix of modern and retro features such as a digital-analog display, navigation pod, USB charger, assist and slipper clutch, and more.
Designed for Stability and Touring Excellence
Thanks to its heavy frame and well-balanced design, the Classic 650 is expected to offer excellent road stability and handling, even at higher speeds. This makes it ideal for touring enthusiasts who value both performance and comfort. Its classic design cues are combined with advanced riding features, giving it a modern yet vintage appeal.
