Royal Enfield Brand continues to soar high in the motorcycle world. The recent announcement of Royal Enfield taking part in the American Flat Track in August points to their rising prominence. The company is believed to debut the 650 FT (Flat Tracker) Concept motorcycle, as it will compete in the Production Twins class on 28th and 29th of August 2020. According to media reports, the 650 Flat Tracker will mostly be ridden by 31-year-old racer and flat-track teacher, Johnny Lewis.

Futher, the engine is believed to have been rebored in order to make it a 750cc from the initial 650cc by S & S Cycles. Apart from this detail, Royal Enfield has not revealed the actual pefromance figures from this engine modification.
