2020 Royal Enfield Classic 350 BS6 Model Spotted Again

Royal Enfield is all set to introduce a new model of the company's highest-selling model, the Royal Enfield Classic 350. While earlier spy pictures of the updated RE Classic 350 showed alloy wheels and new decals, the latest images show a Classic 350, retaining the same overall design of the outgoing model, but with electronic fuel injection, new alloy wheels and different colour schemes. The updated Royal Enfield Classic 350 will meet the upcoming Bharat Stage VI (BS6) emission regulations, which will come into effect from April 1, 2020.

Updated BS6 model of Royal Enfield Classic 350 has the same design as the outgoing model, apart from the alloy wheels

The spy shots show a catalytic converted place on the bend pipe of the exhaust header, and what is a new throttle body with the fuel-injection system. So far, there's no word on the performance and specifications, which will be announced when the new model is launched, possibly within January 2020. The overall design of the updated Classic 350 has been kept unchanged, with the exception of the new alloy wheels and colour combinations. The BS6 model of the RE Classic 350 is expected to be more expensive than the current carburetted BS4 model. Expect prices to be hiked by around 10-12 per cent over the current generation BS4 model. That will translate to around Rs. 12,000 price hike over the outgoing model.

While there have been spy shots of test mules with what seemed like a completely new engine, complete with crankcases matching the 650 Twins, the spy shots of the Classic 350 confirm that Royal Enfield will not be using that all-new powerplant on the latest generation Classic 350. There have been reports of Royal Enfield working on a new generation of more accessible motorcycles for beginners and women, and the new engine is expected to be introduced in those models, to be possibly called the Royal Enfield Meteor, or the Explorer, two names which have been reported to be in consideration.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
