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.

Pros Cons Indian Scout Bobber

Pros

Guaranteed head turner
Good performance
Expensive but good proposition

Cons

Not very practical
Single Seat
Limited availability

Verdict

The Indian Scout Bobber is a very, very good-looking motorcycle - period! It's a head turner for sure and has enough performance to make your weekend rides very enjoyable indeed. It's more of an "around town" bike, and perfect for the Sunday morning breakfast ride, or the occasional coffee run to meet up with your biker buddies. You could do the occasional long weekend, but the aggressive riding position and the stiff suspension may tire you out over a full day of riding.
