Reviews of Royal Enfield Continental GT 650

Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 Review
The Continental GT 650 offers a perfect blend of retro café racer styling and modern performance. Its 648cc twin-engine delivers a smooth 47.65 bhp, with linear power that's ideal for both city rides and highway cruising. The aggressive riding position suits spirited rides, while the chassis handles well, although long rides may feel uncomfortable due to the committed posture.
Equipped with disc brakes and dual-channel ABS, it ensures confident braking. The suspension feels slightly stiff, but overall ride quality is solid. With fuel efficiency of around 22-25 km/l, it balances performance with affordability. The GT 650 stands out for its style and price, though it lacks some modern features.
Pros:
Classic design
Smooth engine
Strong brakes
Cons:
Aggressive riding posture
Stiff suspension over bumps

About the Reviewer

Royal enfield has outdone itself with the 650 twins. Fantastic performance for the price. There is no competition for these in india as well international markets. The torque is just perfect. Fantastic acceleration. Great sounding stock exhaust. Eye catching looks. No complaints whatsoever. Has been a fantastic experience overall. Kudos to royal enfield for bringing this to the consumers. Maintenance and service is hassle free. Purchased online and was delivered at the local dealership. Took 6.5 months for it because i wanted the chrome variant. But it was worth the wait. Special attention is given to all 650 owners in my opinion. Sales and service staff has been very courteous through the entire process.Spares costs are also low for a bike of it's caliber. Go for it if you want a sporty retro charm. The 650 prototype was built on the gt platform. So there is no doubt this is better than the interceptor in terms of handling and ergonomics. Interceptor is only a conversion of this model to a more commuter style motorcycle for those who would not want the slightly aggressive stance the gt has to offer. Truly "a ton of fun" in my opinion. Cheers!!

It's a great and budget-friendly cafe racer bike that is very popular on road trips and also local riding, the way of looking royal enfield continental GT650 is a killer machine, a nice overall, and the shifting gear and road task is way better than other bikes, but problem is pillion, it is a single riding cafe racer bike, fine with the 650 cc machine but royal Enfield manufacturer need to set them as soon as possible and remanufacture a safe and comfortable bike to be the best cafe racer bike and that will be really happened I guess

About the Reviewer

It has an aggressive riding position not great for longer journeys. Its smooth, powerful engine offers good pickup. While not the most fuel-efficient, you can expect around 20-30 kmpl depending on riding style. The suspension is decent, but some riders find it a bit stiff on rough roads. This is the best bike you can get under the 3 to 4 lakh price range its mileage is arguably one of the best mileages if you compare it to other 650cc bikes but its top speed is less compared to others on the road price would probably be around 3.7 to 4 lakhs if your looking for speed and torque this is the bike for you one. Though the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is capable enough for long rides its ergonomics might be an issue. This GT 650's riding position is significantly sportier than that of the Interceptor. In that sense, it remains true to its cafe racer heritage.

This bike is so good for re lovers . But this bike has 1 demerit that it is very heavy by which thin people can't handle it,but they can take ride on it. It shows around 20 to 25 kmpl depend on your ride and city..But i think ktm bikes have more power than re continental 650. The best thing in this bike is its tank which make me comfortable.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience with re was highly interactive they treat customers as family and were really informative. From visiting showroom to getting the bike was very smooth and fun.With a plethora of bikes launching every year re has given Indian market an motorcycle to feel the true passion of motorcycling. 650 twin cylinder engine is absolutely refined and produces power when you need it ! riding posture gives the character a true cafe racer deserves. Other than the massive weight of bike which sometimes feels like a hassle to pull out of parking this motorcycle feels like feather when riding.Looks wise this bike deserves 10/10. Huge headlamp, visible engine and aggressive posture gives the retro look all the og motorcyclists crave for. 2 massive exhausts give the hefty look to this beast.Performance is amazing because of the twin cylinders in this machine which provide linear acceleration all the way through. Braking is excellent ! only thing which disappoints is the heavy clutch which leads to palm pain during traffic and sometimes motorcycle goes into false neutral while shifting from 1st to 2nd. Other than this motorcycle is absolutely delight to own.Service experience is good with re. 650 mammoth requires a lot of engine oil so service cost comes north of 1500. Motorcycle is easy to maintain.Pros:Performance - 47 hp at this price point is rare and delivery is on point.Looks - it doesn’t get any more retro than this.Braking - motorcycle has a shear amount of force to stop the moving 200kg beast.Posture - provides you the committed posture cafe racers require. Makes you feel alive.Mods - re has a lot of mods for this bike : single seat to bar end mirrors.Cons:1. Tubeless tyres - spoked wheels result in tubeless tyres so goodluck dragging this 200kg bike if you do get a puncture.2. Clutch feels heavy3. Broad tyres result in heavy handle bar while turning4. Posture too aggressive for some riders which might lead to back and wrist pain after long ridesOverall it doesn’t get better than this at this price point. If you’re looking for a retro motorcycle which can deliver power you want and looks you will fall in love with then surely go for this motorcycle.Re interceptor 650 is also an excellent option if you’re into long rides and touring.
