Royal Enfield has completed 125 years since its early days in 1901, and to mark this occasion, the iconic manufacturer is launching a highly exclusive version of the Classic 650. The 125th Anniversary Edition comes loaded with a bespoke color-shifting paint job, premium gold accents, and a distinctive vintage-inspired saddle. Priced at Rs 4,25,589 (ex-showroom), production is strictly capped at just 125 units per key global region, making it an instant collector’s item.
While the bike retains the timeless silhouette that riders love, a closer look reveals a host of unique cosmetic details that elevate it far above the standard model.

Colour-Changing Paint Sets It Apart
The main visual change is the new Hypershift paint finish. It uses a brass-inspired base with red, green and gold shades that appear differently as the light and viewing angle change. The treatment takes inspiration from Royal Enfield’s early motorcycles and its paint schemes from the past.
The fuel tank, side panels, mudguards and headlamp nacelle receive the special finish. The motorcycle also retains its teardrop-shaped fuel tank, rounded bodywork and traditional headlamp nacelle.
Other design details include:
- A gold-finished 125th anniversary crest on the side panel.
- Special anniversary badging.
- Hand-painted pinstripes around the tank’s black centre section.
- A Royal Enfield cannon decal on the fuel tank.
- Black-finished engine and exhaust components.
- Wire-spoke wheels and rounded mirrors.
The motorcycle also gets a brown leather seat with quilted stitching. Its vintage styling works with the gold detailing and special paintwork. The lighting setup includes an LED headlamp and LED tail lamp, while the turn indicators use conventional bulbs.
A USB Type-C charging port is also part of the equipment.
