The new 650s also make use of an OBD-2 port and a different ECU which moves from a 122 pin Bosche unit to a 64 pin ECU supplied by Continental . Despite all those changes , Royal Enfield states that the power output of the bikes remains the same at 47hp and 52.3Nm respectively . An interesting omission from the 2022 Royal Enfield 650 models is the new Tripper Navigation system which debuted on the Meteor 350 and was announced for the 2022 Himalayan . While we had expected this to become more widely used on Royal Enfield products , the classic twin clock design of the current 650s would make implementing the additional pod of the Tripper a bit of a visual mess on the dash . Pricing for New Zealand remains competitive as ever in the modern classic market , with the Interceptor 650 kicking things off at $ 10,490 while the Continental GT cafe racer starts from $ 10,790 . Both feature a range of colour options ( seven for the Interceptor and five for the Continental GT ) with the range peaking price-wise with the stunning chrome paint variants at $ 10,990 and $ 11,190 respectively . The first examples of the new Royal Enfield 650 classics are expected to arrive in New Zealand dealers in early November 2021 .
