    Thrilling Performance with Classic Elegance 

    " The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 combines amazing dynamics with classical styling to bring to the motorcyclist the best of the two worlds. Customers fall in love with the parallel-twin performance engine that powers a dynamic ride in both the thick city traffic and along all open roads. The cafe racer style, paired with the addition of dual-channel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) contributes to a biker being hit by a simple yet beautiful bike. Nevertheless a minority of supporters note the shortcomings with the seat comfort for the trips that take too long and recommend a faster improvement in suspension tuning for a softer ride."
