In a dimly lit workshop somewhere in London, a British chopper was being born—not from blueprints or boardroom meetings, but from shared passion. Royal Enfield, the iconic motorcycle maker, joined hands with The Great Frog, a legendary London-based jewelry house known for its dark, bold, skull-studded pieces.
What emerged from this collaboration was not just a motorcycle—it was a statement. A one-of-a-kind custom Royal Enfield Meteor 650, built for those who believe their ride should tell a story.
The Birth of a Chopper
The story began with the standard Royal Enfield Meteor 650—a cruiser that already had road presence. But this version wasn’t going to be standard. It had to carry the soul of a rocker, the edge of rebellion, and the elegance of hand-forged jewelry.
The collaboration gave birth to a unique Brit chopper that still carries the same beating heart—the 648cc parallel-twin engine, delivering 47 horsepower and 52Nm of torque. But everything else has been reimagined. Stretched forks. Custom paint. Skull-inspired accents. A silhouette that whispers vintage, yet stands bold in modern times.
And it’s not just the motorcycle that got a custom twist.

A Ring That Tells the Same Story
To celebrate the build, The Great Frog designed an exclusive skull ring, laced with their signature style and subtle Royal Enfield branding. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s rare—just like the chopper it represents.
“The idea was to take two distinct styles—motorcycling and metal—and merge them into something that felt authentic, something that wasn’t trying too hard,” said Reino Lehtonen-Riley, Creative Director at The Great Frog.
Revealed at Bike Shed Moto Show
The bike made its debut at the Bike Shed Moto Show in London, held from May 23 to 25. A space where builders, brands, and bikers come together, the Meteor chopper didn’t just sit pretty—it demanded attention. Attendees couldn’t help but gather around, eyes scanning every polished curve and handcrafted detail.
This collaboration adds another layer to the identity of Royal Enfield Meteor 650—a bike that has already built a solid reputation among cruiser lovers for its easygoing ride, torquey engine, and long-distance comfort.
The Meteor 650: A Cruiser at Heart
Back home in India, the standard Royal Enfield Meteor 650 continues to grow in popularity. With a starting price of ₹3.64 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s a solid choice for riders looking for a capable highway cruiser without burning a hole in their pocket.
Designed with comfort in mind, the Meteor 650 features a relaxed riding stance, wide handlebars, and a plush seat. It also gets a semi-digital instrument cluster and the brand’s signature Tripper navigation pod.
Even in its stock form, the Royal Enfield Meteor 650 exudes a certain charm. It’s simple, elegant, and most importantly, rideable. But for those dreaming of pushing the limits of style and individuality, this Brit chopper build shows just how far that dream can go.
A Symbol of What’s Possible
No, this custom Meteor 650 won’t hit showrooms. It wasn’t meant to. But that’s what makes it special. It’s a symbol. A story carved in metal and leather. A reminder that bikes aren’t just machines—they’re extensions of identity.
For Royal Enfield, this collaboration is more than just a showcase. It’s a glimpse into a future where motorcycles are not only built to ride—but to express, inspire, and connect.
And as the Royal Enfield Meteor 650 continues its journey across roads in India and beyond, it now carries with it the spirit of a chopper born in London, built by rebels, and celebrated by a tribe that rides for the story.
