Though Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is capable enough for long rides but its ergonomics might be an issue. This GT 650’s riding position is significantly sportier than that of the Interceptor. In that sense, it remains true to its cafe racer heritage. If you’re not accustomed to riding proper sportbikes, it’s very easy for the GT to take a toll on your back and wrists, especially when riding in slow-moving traffic. But show it some corners, and things change drastically. So, do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details. Read More

Both bikes have their own forte. If you are looking for comfortable feature loaded car with amazing performance and features, the Harley Davidson 750 seems like a better option as it provides a better punch and belt drivability makes the transmission of the power linear and low maintenance. However, the Vulcan S comes features loaded which makes it an amazing pick in terms of utility. Moreover, the bike also gets Monoshock suspension for the stiffer rides. If the Harly Davidson is compared, the Davidson manages to get twin shock absorbers at the rear for better performance. Moreover, we would suggest you to visit the nearest dealership to take a test ride of both the bikes so that you may evaluate the performance, design, and comfort of the bikes. Read More
