Q. I wanted to purchase between Continental GT 650 and Interceptor 650 but confused.
  • What do u prefer more funtionality (interceptor ) or good looks (gt 650). Are u willing to sacrifice comfort for some good cornering them go for gt if ur lookimg for short rider then gt if looking for touring long rides then interceptor if want good 2 seater then interceptor if for solo mostly then gt occaional pillion rider then gt. If ur porpose is impress women then difinetly gt coz that ride posture is more aggressive makes u look strong its like ur on this heavy looking bike ur shoulders really arms look agressive thats the actual reason of that sitting posture people like gt more specially chrome model bcoz it looks so good on road u stand out of crowd and yes functionally interceptor is a better package its all about using the bike that bike is more versatile both bike are designed for people with diferent personalities and yes u should test ride then to feel then in real world only then u will know what i mean

  • Royal Enfield Continental GT 650
  • I own the bike and i can tell it's really good if you want to go on long rides or make hilly trips.But i would suggest you to change the exhaust to get some ground clearance.The tires are good but not so good on sharp turns on high speeds.

  • Amazing machine and easy on maintenance.You may miss sweet in line 4 exhaust but torque is good.Good for city traffic too.

    Praveen Sahoo few weeks ago
  • It is an excellent commuter.I rode it every day 100km.It is tolerable on rides of 2-3 hours.I have not had any mechanical issues with it in 34000 km.It is fast enough and very stable.My commute speeds usually ranged from 100 - 150 kmph no problem.I have driven the bike on trips and commutes as fast as 185kmph.It is not a superbike but it will leave most cars and traffic in my rearview.

    Rex Racer few weeks ago

Ninja 650 User Reviews
  • A fun filled thrilling ride, its great joy at canyon carvings. Breeze on highway and easy in city rides even. A great value for money product with superior quality hardware and certainly that 650 cc twin cylinder engine is a gem. Having 25 kmpl out of most of my highway rides. Service cost is so feasible and even service period is longer compared to any other bike in its price range. In comparison with Interceptor Conti GT adds on its sporty feel. Happy Riding 😊

    Abhishek Gurjar few weeks ago
  • It is a retro styling sports bike offered by the RE.It has 0 vibes but it vowels when it ruined on 160 or more,rest the bike is very impressive.

    Kevin Kevin few weeks ago
  • Overall it's good, but more power could have been taken out from a 650 cc engine, which will reduce the mileage for sure😋

    Vishal Chauhan few weeks ago
  • Best bike to have.Chrome.Mileage wise & overall performance wise its a best one in the segment.Gt is a pure cafe racer.
