2. Will use identical 648cc engine in the same state of tune

The check mule of the Classic 650 bears plenty of resemblance to the styling of the Classic 350, with the headlight nestled contained in the nacelle, and the wire-spoke wheels and beneficiant use of chrome throughout. What is a degree of distinction, nonetheless, is that the Classic 650 makes use of an LED headlight (doubtless the identical unit as the opposite 650s on sale right now), versus the Classic 350’s interval appropriate halogen headlight. 

Overall, regardless of this simply being the primary sight of a pre-production check mule, the Classic 650 seems to be fairly a handsome factor, no shock contemplating that the Classic 350 is such a good-looking machine.

The bike makes use of a telescopic fork on the entrance, with shrouds overlaying the stanchions (identical to the smaller Classic) and a twin-shock absorber setup on the rear.
