Royal Enfield Cruiser with a Twin-cylinder engine spied

A new Royal Enfield cruiser has been spied testing. What's more interesting is that the bike appears to be powered by a twin-cylinder engine.

The new cruiser model could be based on Royal Enfield's 650cc platform shared with the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650. However, the cruiser appears to have a new frame. The bike also has upside down telescopic fork suspension at the front and the twin rear shock absorbers are mounted at a slight angle. The bike is fitted with a wider rear tyre.

The riding position is more laid back, as you would expect from a cruiser. It has a low slung seat and the foot pegs are positioned way forward. The bike has a teardrop shaped fuel tank, a circular tail lamp, a single-pod instrument cluster as well as twin exhausts.

Coming to the engine, the new cruiser could be powered by the same 648cc, air-cooled parallel-twin cylinder engine as the 650cc Twins, albeit with minor modifications. The engine could be paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
