Royal Enfield Continental GT 650

Retro designed café racer with head-turning good looks. Clip-on handlebars, bump stop seat, stripped back shape, and plenty of polished chrome, including the gorgeous 648cc twin engine, hark back to a bygone age.

Capturing the spirit of the original 1960s Continental GT250, Royal Enfield have made some clever design tweaks for a more comfortable riding position. The handlebars are mounted on risers, the footpegs are kept relatively low, and the distance from the seat to the bars isn’t too stretched; to help take the strain off your wrists, hips and knees.

The Continental is easy and fun to ride, with its light controls, smooth four-stroke, air and oil-cooled parallel twin engine and six-speed gearbox. Its equally at home being thrown about on the back roads as threading through built-up traffic on the commute to work.
