If you're looking for a light, powerful, sharp-handling sportbike that'll help you hone your skills, the KTM RC 390 makes perfect sense. However, the bike's committed riding posture means it's more suited for track than road. On the other hand, Continental GT 650 is a fun to ride cafe racer. The GT’s sporty riding position makes it much more suitable for twisty mountain roads and even high speed straight line blasts. To top things off, the twin-cylinder motor provides the performance and refinement that the 535 simply couldn’t. You may compare both bikes accoridngly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details. If we talk about Yamaha R3, it has been discontinued and hasn't been launched ion BS6 era.
The KTM 200 Duke was a game changer for the performance motorcycle segment in India. When it comes to thrills, the KTM 200 Duke delivers it in spades. Moreover, selecting between the BMW G 310 R and Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 would depend on certain factors such as budget, preference of the segment, features required, touring capabilities and also, availability of service network. The Continental GT 650 is powered by a 648cc, air and oil-cooled, parallel-twin engine that generates peak power of 47.6PS at 7100rpm and 52Nm of torque at 5200rpm mated to a 6-speed transmission assisted by a slip-and-assist clutch. It makes for a great step up for existing riders while offering new levels of refinement and performance. On the other hand, G310R sports a 313cc single-cylinder liquid cooled unit that produces 34PS at 9500rpm and 28Nm of torque at 7500rpm. The G 310 R is a bike that’s absolutely a hoot to ride thanks to its great handling dynamics, decently punchy motor and incredible ride quality. However, there are some drawbacks too such as vibrations and a cramped lower body posture which prevents you to spend longer hours on the saddle. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of comfort and compatibility. You may click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Of course you can ride it.. But how it fits will vary from person to person.. Someone that's 5ft 5Inches might think it's more comfortable than someone that's even 6ft tall. Everyone is different, so it really varies. The only drawback to being short on the GT 650 is being able to flat foot the bike. But short legs also mean you're legs aren't as bent when on the foot pegs. It's a funny thing.. The seat height is good for tall people, but the peg height is better for the short.
I think it feels quite difficult to handle continental ....😐with ur height yarrr❌.With this height u can ride interceptor more comfortably and safely.I prefer u to buy interceptor...more than Gt tnx😊
I'm 5.7 and I've had no problems at all. I own the bike for a year now. Also the single seat is even shorter height so it's better. I can flatfoot with the single seat with cowl.
Being a continental gt650 owner I feel the bike is comfortable for long rides. Myself (gt650) and my brother( bullet 500) took our ride from Chennai to kodaikanal (589km) and back to Chennai the next day together 1230km . I didn\'t have any pain in my wrists or back. Since we had stops only after 100-150 km i had my b**t paining( not so cushioned seats would be the reason ). It was comfortable even when you was riding up hill and it's obvious you will experience the wrists pain when you downhill because of your body weight being put on wrists that happens with all sporty positioned bikes. Cons is the fuel tank capacity where I had to refill tank for more number of times than usual. Note : my height 6.2 and weight 83 kg.
For long ride it has some -ve points.All the support fall on palm. So riding for a long time, both hands may feel pain.Clutch is a little bit hard, for long riding left wrist may feel pain.But the power and smoothness of engine will help to forget the cons.....
Nope bro i don't think it will be fit for long rides for 180 km i hve done because i stay in a broad so i yv ride for 180 km as a long ride so in my opinion in 180 km u wont feel that much stress but lil dizzy u will feel when u reach ua destination..
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
Bro for a sporty feeling u shuld choose GT650 otherwise if u are a tourer u shuld go for Interceptor 650 choice is yours in how the way u ride for.. But for a short tour and a sporty feel u shld go for Gt650
Continental GT 650 is a cafe racer type, whereas interceptor is touring bike.now you have to decide what is your purpose.Frequent touring then go for interceptor else if your purpose is city ride and occasional touring then continental GT 650
Althought there Is not really comparison but i understand why u ask this question althought gt looks like sports bike but trust me it is not i own one If u want a light weight bike for daily commute touring or just going around city fast with very good corner cutting ability with very good handling u should go for ktm. If u want a lifesyle bike good looking which makes u standout from crowd which will have some mystry to it only then u buy gt its only for weekends its heavy not good handling when compared to gt too heavy when comparied to duke funtionaly not as good as duke only reason to buy gt is for its better looking retro charm. design is forever everything about this bike has been setup for longterm use if u buy gt never want to sell it only then go for gtAnd u should have height of atlest 5.8 although 5.10 is the proper average for it
Both bikes are incredible but they belongs from total different family it will wrong to compares both in a single field ,if you want top notch performance and sporty looks with quick throttle response then you should look for ktm but if you want power classic look and stable bike then you should go for GT I personally like GT then DUCK because it has incredible power and it got twin
poston so you will never fill the stress sound and the exhaust sound is like a song it totally different from whole market in this price segment, of course it will defeat the Duke 390 in long run ultimately it's up to you what are incredible machines
Duke 390 and continental gt both are different revving engines, if u want enormous power delivery and always to filter the city i think duke is better option,but if u want a retro looking bike and want a parallel twin with an amazing exhaust and sporty yet not a top end cruiser .and want a pure machine like feel when you ride then its Gt for u, anyway take a test ride of both and decide
Best exhaust is already installed on bike trust me when bike heats sound changes from treble to thump that the magic of stock exhaust only reason to change it should be to save weight thats it if u change it engine warranties go void
AEW or RED ROOSTER , check YouTube links for better understanding . I personally feel the stock ones have a good roar when u do long rides and the aftermarket exhausts can be irritating .

Gt or interceptor both are not made for top end speeds they are cruisers bike not sports bike just coz they are 650 cc people start compairing them to high performance sports bike this where people are dissapointed by re bike they are not meant for high speed top end they have spoke rims they start flexing at high speeds
In youtube reviews i get to see they go like 170,175 but i never go more than 163 may be it depends on how u ride n who is riding it depends upon u bro.
It goes 175 comfortably and can go even further to 180-185 it can go even further if the rpm lock is moved further

Continental is a pakka cafe racer...and it looks more attractive than interceptor,I think both the bikes have equal performance including top speed,the main difference is its "RIDING COMFORT". U must test drive both the bikes if ur willing to buy these bikes.Tnq💥
Continental GT is a little bit advanced in the case of acceleration, cornering etc. than interceptor.
I am a gt650 owner but i think Interceptor is much better than this
