Overview

Introducing the 2019 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, a striking blend of retro charm and modern performance, designed for motorcycle enthusiasts who crave both style and substance. Positioned within the allround category, the Continental GT 650 carries forward the iconic lineage of Royal Enfield while appealing to a new generation of riders. Its café racer aesthetics, coupled with a robust engineering foundation, make it a versatile companion for both spirited weekend rides and daily commutes. This motorcycle embodies the spirit of freedom and the timeless allure of the open road. At the heart of the Continental GT 650 lies a potent 648 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that produces a spirited 47 horsepower at 7,250 RPM, delivering a delightful punch for the urban rider. Its torque of 52 Nm at 5,250 RPM ensures a responsive throttle that's perfect for navigating city streets or winding country roads. The engine is cooled by a combination of oil and air, ensuring optimal performance under various conditions. Coupled with a smooth 5-speed gearbox and a wet multi-plate clutch, riders can expect a seamless transition through gears, enhancing the overall riding experience. The bike’s twin downtube cradle frame, combined with telescopic front forks and twin coil-over shocks at the rear, promises a balanced ride, allowing riders to carve through corners with confidence while enjoying a comfortable journey. The Continental GT 650 comes equipped with a host of features that elevate its riding experience. Its modern fuel injection system and digital electronic ignition ensure efficient fuel delivery and quick starts, while the Brembo braking system—featuring a 320 mm front disc—provides exceptional stopping power and reliability. The motorcycle’s overall design is complemented by a stylish instrument cluster, which includes essential information for the rider at a glance. With a seat height of 793 mm, it’s accessible for a wide range of riders, and the choice of striking color options, including red, dark green, and black, allows for personal expression. Additionally, with a 2-year unlimited mileage warranty, Royal Enfield stands by the quality and durability of this motorcycle. **

Pros

  • Classic Aesthetic with Modern Performance: The Continental GT 650 combines vintage café racer styling with contemporary engineering, appealing to both traditionalists and modern riders.
  • Responsive Engine: The single-cylinder engine offers a satisfying balance of power and torque, making it responsive in a variety of riding scenarios.
  • Comfort and Control: The well-designed suspension and balanced chassis enhance handling and comfort, providing a smooth ride for both short trips and long journeys.

Cons

  • Limited Storage Options: The minimalist design may not accommodate built-in storage, making it less practical for long-distance touring without additional accessories.
  • Weight Considerations: At approximately 202 kg (445 lbs) wet, it may feel a bit heavy for novice riders, especially at low speeds.
  • Vibration Levels: Some riders may find that the single-cylinder engine produces more vibrations compared to multi-cylinder counterparts, which could affect comfort during longer rides.
