I bought a brand new Royal Enfield GT Continental 350 just two and a half months ago, and my experience has been nothing short of disappointing. The bike feels sturdy and classic at first glance, but the quality of the parts is appalling.
Within a short period, I encountered a significant design flaw. If for any reason the rider or passenger struggles to balance the bike and it leans over, even slightly, the clutch lever or brake lever will touch the ground. This has happened to me twice already, and both times the levers snapped in half. And guess what? Replacing these poorly made levers will set you back by ₹7,000 each time!
This is unacceptable from a company that prides itself on craftsmanship and durability. If basic parts like the levers are this fragile, what else can we expect? Definitely not the quality I expected from Royal Enfield. Be prepared to shell out a lot of money for repairs if you're considering this bike.

Recently bought a 650 which was my dream bike...the service provided to me was excellent and as the re 650 is a cafe racer bike its sitting posture is somehow not comfortable for long rides and its instrument cluster is not very good it gives us a vintage vibe which seems to be old...and maintenance cost it not that much...it's overall excellent bike...

GT Continental 650 is the best cafe racer bike in this segment. The sound of this bike is so good and you will obviously love this bike. It has been my dream to have this bike since I have seen this bike. This is just a dream of many youngsters to have this giant in their home. GT Continental is very comfortable and a little bit heavy.

Expert reviews of the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 generally praise its smooth, torquey engine with excellent mid-range power, classic cafe racer aesthetic, and good value for price, but note that its aggressive riding position might not be comfortable for long rides, and some features like the clutch could be improved

Less mileage & less top speed, hand bubbling if speed more than 140 km/ph
Service cost is too high
Not for middle-class families only price sate to attract mid-economic status people
Break pads are less efficient
Back break pads need to change every 5000 to 6000 km
If you ride & break F60/B40
Low-quality brake pads or more friction in that

I love this bike because of its beautiful design, color and its powerful engine. Its weight balance is very good. Its pickup time is mind-blowing. Its dual disc brakes are very powerful. Its mileage average is 8-13 kmpl depending upon the roads. This bike never disappoints you in any rough situation. Its weight is some high so some problems will happen... Overall nice bike go for it.

I ride this bike not much but I ride almost 1000 km in summer that could be very difficult that I know only how I manage the whole ride. It almost burns my shoes. I got irritated by the heating problem of the bike . but on the other hand this bike fells different from other bike . i love this bike especially the shining tank in that it sees my face from this.

When I was interested in buying a bike I chose to buy a Kawasaki 4r but my father said to me no Just buy a Royal Enfield then I bought this GT 650. It's a very nice bike when I ride my bike I feel like it's a Horse. Service experience is good but mileage is low it's showing 19 and it's better

Its 648cc parallel-twin engine is smooth and responsive, offering plenty of torque for spirited rides. The bike’s cafe racer styling is striking, and the build quality feels premium. The riding position, while sporty, may not suit long-distance comfort for everyone
Overall, it's a fantastic, value-for-money choice for enthusiasts who love classic designs with reliable performance.
