to work on a little V3 motor such as
the unit in the Honda.
Honda's answer would likely be to
run a dedicated battery for the super-
charger so the primary battery can
be used for all normal electrical func-
tions as it traditionally has. This has
become possible with the advent of
ultra-light lithium-ion batteries over
the past decade, negating much of the
potential weight gain associated with
running two batteries.
ROYAL ENFIELD
CLASSIC 650
Royal Enfield introduced the Classic
650, what the company calls "a super-
sized version of the iconic silhouette of
Classics from the past. The new Clas
-
sic 650 showcases the distinctive spirit
of the Classic family but serves it up
in a double measure."
Propelled by Royal Enfield's 650 Twin
engine and sharing a chassis with the
Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650, the
Classic 650 stays true to traits of the
Classic family, offering riders "a power-
ful new blend of old-school aesthetics
and effortless power delivery."
The Classic 650 will be offered in
four color trims: Vallam red, Brunting
-
thorpe blue, teal and black chrome.
The Classic 650 will first be avail-
able in the UK, Italy, France, Spain and
Germany, with the bike coming to North
American markets in early 2025.
