    Iteration 1have 

    Iteration 1 have just bought this bike, Have to ride this bike at max 60 kmph till the first service which shall be after 1000 kms.The low end torque is beautiful, Down shifting ain't necessary much.The clutch is very soft, The gear shifting is smooth.Its very tempting to rev as it's very easy to go from 20 to 100 on the second gear especially during traffic signals but i am avoiding such temptations for now.The ground clearance can be an issue in places with irregular speed bumps, Which is not the case in vashi but koparkhairne the node next to vashi has some of those speed breakers.So you can assume the problems it will have all over india since vashi and koparkhairne are the better places with respect to the regular height speed heights.

    Continental GT 650 cafe racer 

    I have ridde­n the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 bike­ for some time. Riding this café racer has be­en an exciting adventure­. The vintage styling of this motorcycle looks ve­ry cool. Yet it also delivers strong pe­rformance on the road. Riding is smooth, and the e­ngine has a lot of power. Long rides are­ fun on this bike. But the seating position may fe­el uncomfortable after a while­. And you may notice vibrations at high speeds. Still, the­ Continental GT 650 offers exce­llent value for riders at its affordable­ price.

    As a GT owner I would say 

    As a gt owner i would say that the experience is fantabulous i would say it drinks petrol a lot.If you travel 30 km per day then it costs 7k per month and if you raom near by then it might be 3-5 k per 2 week so take care boys.

    Cafe Racer Icon Reimagined 

    The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is an example of a modern rendition of a cafe racer which combines the classy look of its iconic predecessor with the 21st-century technology. The brainchild of this era’s cafe racing culture and a champion of style and aggression, it has a riding position of a sport bike, clip-on handlebars, and sculpted fuel tank that immediately makes it stand out. Taking advantage of an appealing 650cc parallel-twin motor, the motorcycle provides intensive power as well as torque. As a result, it lends itself to swifter acceleration and exhilarating travels that defy gravity on windy roads.

    Most powerful and commandable bike 

    The refinement level of this bike is outstanding and the engine is trackable with the fantastic power and torque but it gives mileage around 22 to 25 kmpl which is high engine capacity but is a very heavy bike. Royal Enfield Continental gt 650 is the most strongest bike and it look gorgeous with the solid road presence and the seat is long but the riding posture is not comfortable. The switchgear quality is very premium and the braking system is very powerful but the weight of this bike is very heavy.
