# Royal Enfield launches colour-changing Classic 650 at Rs 4.25 lakh 2026-10-27T21:56:30+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Royal Enfield has launched the Classic 650 Anniversary Edition, called Hypershift Classic 650, to mark 125 years of the company. The bike features a special paint that shifts between red, green and gold depending on the light. Only 125 units will be produced worldwide. The ex-showroom price in India is Rs 4,25,589. Registrations began on 16 October 2026 and will close on 28 October 2026, when official sales start. Deliveries are expected from November 2026. The motorcycle retains the 647.95 cc parallel-twin engine producing 47 bhp and 52.3 Nm of torque, mated to a six-speed gearbox. The limited edition adds a gold-finish 125-year crest, special side-panel badging and hand-painted pinstripes. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Hypershift Classic 650 is a collector's item rather than a volume seller: with only 125 units globally, most buyers will not get one. The mechanicals are unchanged from the standard Classic 650, so the premium is entirely for the colour-shifting paint and anniversary badging. The registration window closes on 28 October, and delivery starts in November, which will test how quickly the limited run sells out. ## Coverage - aajtak.in Straight product launch story with technical specs and timeline, no government angle.
