Royal Enfield has launched the scrambler-style Bear 650 in Brazil, with the Wild Honey colorway starting at R$33,990. Its 648cc parallel-twin engine produces 47cv, and the design draws inspiration from the legendary 1960 "Big Bear Run" race.
Being inspired by the story of the 1960 Big Bear Run is an element that resonates with European riders too. The way it translates heritage into the present is skillful. How that story is received on a stage like Brazil is a genuinely interesting bike, in terms of the relationship with society.

The color name 'Wild Honey' - so a honey shade? Cute naming.
Starting at R$33,990 - where does that land given Brazil's cost of living?
That looks like a pretty bold price for the local midsize class, though brand value probably factors in.
648cc putting out 47hp feels like a well-judged amount of power for this class.
In the scrambler market, this looks headed for a direct clash with Triumph's Scrambler lineup.
Drawing design inspiration from the 1960 Big Bear Run is a nicely deep-cut concept.
