Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 Reviews

myexperiance with the Interceptor 650, the Continental GT 650’s 648cc parallel-twin delivers smooth and consistent power. The performance feels sporty yet manageable, making it ideal for urban sprints and open-road rides. The throttle response is crisp, and the engine’s mid-range torque ensures an engaging ride.

I’ve been riding the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 for a few months now, and honestly, it’s been an absolute thrill. This bike has that perfect blend of classic café racer charm and modern performance. The 648cc twin-cylinder engine is just a joy it’s smooth, punchy, and delivers a satisfying grunt when you twist the throttle. Cruising at highway speeds feels effortless, and there’s always enough power for quick overtakes. The seating position is a bit sporty with the low clip-on handlebars, but surprisingly, it hasn’t been as hard on my wrists as I feared. Handling-wise, it’s stable, planted, and corners with confidence, thanks to the well-balanced chassis. And oh, that exhaust note music to the ears! For me, the GT 650 hits all the right notes: power, style, and a ride that makes every trip memorable.

As much as I love my Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, there are a few quirks worth mentioning. First off, this bike is a stunner with its retro looks and classic café racer stance—there’s no denying that. The 648cc engine is buttery smooth and packs a punch when you need it, but in bumper-to-bumper traffic, the heat can be a bit much on hot days. The riding position is committed, with clip-on bars that lean you forward, which feels great on open roads but can be tiring during long rides or stop-and-go city commuting. The stock seat is decent, but after an hour or so, I find myself squirming a bit. That said, it handles beautifully for its weight—quick lane changes, sweeping curves, you name it. It’s a bike that demands attention and care, but for me, the mix of raw riding pleasure and old-school vibes is worth the effort. Just be ready for a bit of muscle soreness and some envious stares along the way.

The Continental GT 650 looks great with its café racer styling, but in terms of performance, it's a bit underwhelming. The engine feels sluggish in lower gears, and the handling isn’t as sharp as one would expect from a bike at this price range. For city commuting, it’s too heavy, and the fuel efficiency isn't great either. Compared to the Kawasaki Z650, the GT 650 lacks modern features and feels outdated. The Z650 provides better engine performance, agility, and overall a more refined riding experience. If you’re looking for style and don’t mind the compromises, the GT 650 works, but for real performance, the competition has a clear edge.

GT is a emotion ok agreed but what type of bike is this. it's not a sports, adventure tour , cruise, city ride bike so what is the purpose of this bike ? ???? A meaning less purpose less bike with 20 mileage. infact it's the slowest 650cc enginee in the world. overhyped by indians influencer. people are wasting their money by seeing Instagram reels . it's not your emotion dear . u r influenced to buy this shit.
