The Bear 650 embodies the spirit of a 16-year-old Eddie Mulder who, in 1960, lined up alongside hundreds of side-burned hopefuls, all hungry to win the wildest race the Californian desert had ever known—the Big Bear Run.

Fueled by the gut and powered by Royal Enfield’s proven 650cc parallel twin engine, tuned for more torque over other Twins models, delivering an exhilarating riding experience. Cased in a highly durable, premium black finish, it looks rugged and purposeful, amplifying the Scrambler attitude.  Thanks to suspension from Showa, as well as bespoke tire and chassis development, the Bear 650 is a dynamic road machine, while remaining capable on broken roads and light trails.

Pure History.  Pure Exhilaration.  Pure Motorcycling.  Thanks, Eddie.

It’s not only ’60s-era British scramblers we love, though.  You have to admit, some of the Japanese enduros and soft-roaders from the mid-’70s still cut a fine line even today.  The lithe styling and purposeful stance of a twin-shock XL, TT, or DT still makes the heart beat a little faster.  In our efforts to recapture those glory days, may we present to you the TT650, our homage to yesterday’s greatest bikes from the far east.  In dust we trust.
