  • 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

User Reviews of Comparison

  • KTM RC 390
  • Royal Enfield Continental GT 650
  • The RC 390 seems amazing and mind-blowing. I hope the design would just grow as it did with the old RC390, and I'm already living the design. Its similarities with its bigger MotoGP siblings. The 2022 RC390 will get new chassis, new wheels, bigger breaks, which saves a whopping 13.5 kg than the previous version. The new RC gets the same state of tuning but gets a bigger airbox which in turn produces more torque. The new design is also more aerodynamic and overall all these factors result in better handling, faster accelerations and a claimed top speed of 11kmph more than the old version. I'm just waiting for its launch in India and book it, Hope it will turn out to be one of my best decisions in life.

  • 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 😊

    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
