The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is a charming and capable bike for those looking for a retro-styled cafe racer that doesn’t break the bank. It’s a great option for new riders or those who want something stylish and easy to ride. While it's not a high-performance powerhouse, it offers an enjoyable and relaxed riding experience that's hard to find in this price range. If you’re looking for a modern classic with a nod to the past, the Continental GT 650 is worth considering.

Vitpilen 250 is a very good bike, it is a lot of fun to ride but also has a lot of comfort and power, it is a superbike in this range, I ride it continuously for 600 km, no problem, had the seat has been more comfortable, maybe it would have been 1000 km. Looks very good: People see the bike once and then look at it again.
