The Royal Enfield Continental GT is a bike that exudes timeless charm and offers a unique riding experience that seamlessly merges the past with the present. Having had the opportunity to take it for a spin, I can confidently say it's a machine that appeals to both the heart and the senses.First and foremost, the design of the Continental GT is a nod to the golden era of café racers. Its classic lines, sculpted fuel tank, and low-slung handlebars evoke a sense of nostalgia, while the modern touches such as LED lighting and digital instrumentation add a contemporary flair. The overall aesthetic is nothing short of stunning, garnering attention wherever it goes.Once in the saddle, the Continental GT feels like a natural extension of oneself. The riding position is sporty yet comfortable, with the clip-on handlebars encouraging a forward-leaning posture that instils confidence in corners. The single-seat setup further enhances the bike's café racer persona, although it may not be the most practical for long rides with a passenger.The heart of the Continental GT is its 650cc air-cooled parallel-twin engine, which delivers a healthy dose of torque and power. Throttle response is smooth and linear, allowing for effortless acceleration both in the city and on the highway. The exhaust note, a deep and throaty rumble, adds to the overall sensory experience, eliciting smiles from both rider and bystanders alike.Handling-wise, the Continental GT is a joy to ride. The chassis feels solid and planted, inspiring confidence when diving into corners. The suspension setup strikes a good balance between comfort and sportiness, soaking up bumps and imperfections while maintaining composure during spirited riding.Braking performance is another highlight of the Continental GT. The front and rear disc brakes offer ample stopping power, with ABS providing additional reassurance in emergencies. The brakes feel progressive and responsive, instilling a sense of control and safety.On the practical side, the Continental GT may not be the most versatile bike out there, but it certainly makes up for it with character and soul. Fuel efficiency is respectable, and maintenance costs are reasonable, making it a viable option for both daily commuting and weekend outings.In conclusion, the Royal Enfield Continental GT is more than just a bike—it's a statement. It's a celebration of motorcycling heritage, a testament to craftsmanship, and above all, a machine that beckons to be ridden. Whether carving through twisty mountain roads or cruising down city streets, the Continental GT offers an experience like no other, one that is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to throw a leg over it.

Good bike, different from the crowd, performance is good, vibrations are high above 120 km/h, below that no problem, cruising speed is between 90-100, overall good bike. Maintenance is on higher side but you can get it serviced outside with fully synthetic oil and original filters, major part change should be done by professionals in the agency itself. Brembo calipers can be substituted by Nissan calipers used in CBR 250 at a very pocket friendly cost.
