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 Yamaha FZ 25

Pros

Most affordable in the segment
Reliable
Decent fuel efficiency

Cons

Engine vibrations
Cranky gearbox
Better brakes

Verdict

The Yamaha FZ 25 is the most affordable motorycle in the segment and is well-known for its reliability and overall performance. The Yamaha guarantee of speed and safety is aptly combined in this motorcycle and the high fuel efficiency figures makes it a compelling prospect. Overall, as a value for money product in the 250 cc motorcycle segment, the FZ 25 makes for a compelling case, but is let down by lack of entertaining performance and exciting design.
