Royal Enfield Fuel Fury 650 Is a Custom, Rally-Spec Bear 650
Royal Enfield Bear 650 created a lot of buzz at the time of its launch. A bit of this was carried forward even after the launch of the scrambler. However, some folks believed that the bike was not quiet enough when it came to hardcore off-roading. Resolving all such complaints, the enthusiasts at Barcelona-based Fuel Motorcycles created the Royal Enfield Fuel Fury 650, a custom scrambler using the Bear 650 as a base. What's even more interesting is, the bike pays tribute to Eddie Mulder, the iconic champion of the 1960 Big Bear Run. In terms of appearance, the Fuel Fury maintains the modern appeal of the Bear 650 with elements resembling the Fury 500 from the '60s. Commanding most attention is the dual-LED headlight surrounded by a metallic frame. Additionally, the front fender is now higher, the shape of the single-piece seat is changed, and the tail section is now narrower. All of this is complemented by a bright paint scheme. The side panel of the bike has "Big Bear Run" text on it with "249" number, while the tank has "In Gut We Trust" written on it. To enhance the off-road aesthetics and add more functionality to the mix, the brand has added elements like an upswept free-flow exhaust, skid plate, handguards, rally pegs, and tank grips to the original tank. The custom-made foam seat is wrapped in waterproof Alcantara with red stitching. There is also a new suspension setup with full adjustability, with gas canisters at the rear end. The combination of 19- and 17-inch wheels has been updated to include 21-inch front and 17-inch rear tubeless cross-spoke wheels, which come equipped with Mitas off-road tyres. The electrical connections have been repositioned in the front, and a rally-inspired command center is prominently situated in the cockpit, featuring a built-in navigation system equipped with GPS roadbook, odometer, tachometer, speedometer, and rally controls. Additionally, the Fury 650 includes a motogadget unit for crucial data display. At its core, the bike has the same 648 cc parallel-twin engine pushing out 46 hp of power and 56 Nm of peak torque. This powertrain has been employed on other bikes of the brand as well, like the Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650, and others.

Check out these seven incredible custom Royal Enfield bikes Royal Enfield's Custom World series returns with some seriously wacky creations Skip 7 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. 1 / 7 Royal Enfield reckons it makes 'the most custom friendly motorcycles in the world', and TG certainly wouldn't disagree having already built a bespoke Continental GT650 with a paint job inspired by Alexander Calder's BMW 3.0 CSL Le Mans art car. Safe to say our interest was piqued when Royal Enfield picked seven more custom bikes to display at the Bike Shed Moto Show London recently, then. And yes, they are all excellent.

The super streamlined Royal Enfield Shotgun is now nearly four metres long and was built by Dirk Oehlerking of Kingston Custom. Phoenix, built by Putu Ajus Mulyawarman of AMS Garage in Bali, is similarly dramatic. Underneath it's a Super Meteor 650, but it's been transformed into a lowrider with 'tribal style' bodywork made from exposed aluminium. Next up in the gallery above is Fury 650 by Fuel Motorcycles, who turned a Bear 650 into a proper off-road adventurer. Then you've got the supremely mean looking Samurai with its drag racing rear tyre and handmade frame by Takuya Aikawa. The SM450 Urban Guerrilla by Ryan Roadkill and Sticky's Speed Shop is inspired by the 1990s and BMX, Crusty Demons and skate videos, while The Great Frog is a Brit chopper built by Royal Enfield in collaboration with a jewellery and lifestyle company of the same name. Last but not least is Modern Primitive – built by Sideburn Magazine it's apparently one of the first custom builds that uses the new Guerrilla 450 as its base.
