With the CB350C, Honda expanded its lineup of 350 cc neo-retro motorcycles. With a starting price of ₹1.88 lakh ex-showroom, the CB350C is sold only through the BigWing dealerships of Honda. The CB350C gets a different colour scheme, decals and minor tweaks to the grab rail, fenders and seats. Powering it is the same H'ness CB350, so it has ample torque for city duties as well as can cruise on highways at decent speeds.

Consider the CB650R as a naked version of the CBR650R. Sold in two colour options - Candy Chromosphere Red and Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic, the CB650R is a proper neo-retro motorcycle with a retro design language but with modern underpinnings and features. In fact, it now even comes with an E-Clutch. Powering the motorcycle is a 649 cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four engine. The motor churns out 94 bhp at 12,000 rpm and 63 Nm of peak torque at 9,500 rpm. It is priced at ₹10.30 lakh ex-showroom.

Yes, the Hunter 350 has been on sale for some time now, but with the 2025 iteration, Royal Enfield made some important upgrades to the Hunter 350, which made it an even better deal. Apart from the new colours, the 2025 Hunter 350 comes with an LED headlamp, a fast Type C charger to juice up mobile devices, revised handlebar and seatfoam and a re-routed exhaust to increase the ground clearance. Royal Enfield also added a slipper clutch and a new suspension for the rear that is more comfortable. These were the two biggest gripes of the Hunter 350. The prices of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 start at ₹1.37 lakh ex-showroom.

The Classic 650 was one of the most-awaited launches from the brand. The 650 cc parallel-twin from Royal Enfield is one of the most beloved engines in the industry. It is known for its smoothness, torque and sweet exhaust note. With the Classic 650, the brand upped the quality levels substantially. The motorcycle turns heads anywhere it goes while keeping that Classic look intact and that attention to detail is insane. Kudos to Royal Enfield for doing such a great job with the colour schemes and taking direct inspiration from the Classic 500. The Classic 650 starts at ₹3.61 lakh ex-showroom.

The Speed Twin from Triumph is one of the most beautiful neo-retro motorcycles that is on sale. It is a modern motorcycle by every mean but it still manages to look retro with that tear-drop shaped fuel tank, circular headlamp and instrument cluster, bar-end mirrors and twin exhaust pipes. Powering the motorcycle is a 1200 cc liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder motor churning out 103 bhp and 112 Nm. The motorcycle is priced at ₹13.84 lakh ex-showroom.
