    @ Akil | Iam 5.4 feet still it is difficult for me to take it out of slanted parking,i have to get down and push the bike which feels a bit awkward

    The RE Interceptor seat height is 800 mm. So there will be difficulty for short riders, though not unsuitable. But the Benneli Leoncino 500 cc seat height is 785 mm and twin cylinder, The Triumph is even better with a seat height of just 760 mm. Leoncino delivers 47 brake horsepower and 46 newton metres of torque. The Triumph Speed Twin is a 900cc machine delivering 65 BHP and 90 newton metres of torque. however on the latter, there is bound to be a compromise in fuel economy in view of larger engine size and more expensive. But there is a bonus ! Both bikes are lighter than the Interceptor and are hoot to ride. RE is biased against short riders ! Siddhart Lal are you listening. I am short myself and ride a RE 500cc and the Triumph makes me salivate !

    Both the Benneli Leoncin0 500 cc and the Triumph Bonneville, are bikes with a seat height less than the RE Interceptor family. The Benneli has a seat hieght of 785 mm and the Bonneville speed twin is even better at 760 mm.Both are twin cylinders with engines as refined or even better than Interceptor. Benneli though offers better mileage, whereas Triumph mileage is not all the great since it has a larger 900 cc engine. Here is a bonus, both are lighter than the Interceptor by at least 10 kgs . RE is biased against shorties like me.

    The seating postures on GT is some aggressive. The leg peg is a little bit behind. And the head and upper body inclineds towards the front. For that the helmet feel more heavier, and the wind make it a little bit more difficult. For these small points, it not comfortable for 5.1ft or vice versa.

  • Riding the Dream on My Continental GT 650

    The Continental GT 650 was a dream come true for me. This cafe racer combines style, performance and an experience that is hard to find in other motorcycles. Powered by a 650 cc engine churning out 47 bhp and 52 Nm of torque it is a beast on the road offering exhilarating rides every time.The fuel efficiency stands at about 25 to 30 kmpl which is commendable given its performance oriented nature.The seat, though stylish, can become uncomfortable on long rides and the absence of wind protection can be felt at higher speeds.

  • Continental is superb

    The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 was a bike that promised a lot and delivered most of it. It brought classic racer looks into the modern era with a punchy 648cc engine that churns out 47 bhp of power and 52 Nm of torque. This bike was not just about looks it had the muscle to back it up.Its top speed capabilities and handling on curves make it an absolute joy on open roads. The ABS on dual disc brakes provides immense confidence during high speed braking.But The Continental GT 650 while an amazing ride, can be a bit aggressive for daily use.
