Pros Cons of Royal Enfield Continental GT 650

Pros

  • The 2023 updates include new alloy wheels, tubeless Vredestein tyres, and a premium LED headlight, all enhancing both practicality and aesthetics.
  • The 650 cc parallel-twin engine delivers smooth and torque-rich performance, making it ideal for laid-back riding with ample power on tap.
  • New colour schemes like Slipstream Blue and Apex Grey, along with blacked-out parts, add a modern, aggressive appeal to the classic design

Cons

  • The seat is not the most comfortable for long rides, and an upgrade to the touring seat may be necessary for extended use.
  • Heat management remains an issue, especially in stop-and-go traffic, with the engine generating noticeable heat on the left leg.
  • The twin-pod instrument console lacks modern features like a gear position indicator and real-time efficiency data, which could enhance the riding experience

Verdict

The 2023 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 retains its old-school charm while incorporating modern updates that improve both performance and aesthetics. The addition of tubeless tyres and the LED headlight make it a more practical and premium offering. Despite a few shortcomings like seat comfort and limited tech features, the GT 650 remains a top choice for riders seeking a stylish, torque-rich, and affordable modern classic.
