      Its a whole different vibe with 650
      THAT BULKY BOY AND SPEED makes the bike very attractive and muscular and it gives the vibe that other bike cant give you if youre going to college or office the royal enfild continental gt650 would be the best option. Eventually its good for mileage and comfort for short rides if you have the capacity for riding on full throttle then you will get deficiencies for mileage if we ride like a gentleman then we can feel the comfort and safety. If you can maintain the bike and do proper maintenance it would be a great option to choose because this bike has its own aura and there is no similar bike like royal enfiled gt650 in the market for a middle call this bike is best.

      ​Performance on Terrain man! the bike handles "even on uneven roads" and has a "strong pickup" compared to others in its class. ​Costs maintenance is minimal and specifically bought it for "fuel saving" to avoid recurring petrol costs. ​ the gear shifts as "soft" and the engine as remaining "smooth" even after a year of riding ~40 km daily. ​ Recommend for both beginners and daily office commuters.

      Gt650. Why you should buy one
      I saw a gt535 in a telugu movie and it was love at first, but they discontinued it but love just shifted from 535 to 650 and 8 years later. I bought the bike and its the best thing I ever did and I love it. Positive, It's the best modern classic and the best cafe racer available in India.It gives you so much adrenaline rush driving it makes you go all gaga and makes you feel like kid playing with his hot wheels. Yes I absolutely would, but it's not for everyone if you don't have the experience with aggressive riding position it's not for you. And its not a beginner bike at all so if you are still in your college please don't buy it.

      Kawasaki Vulcan with a heart of Ninja

It offers smooth handling, modern features, and is well maintained in authorized showrooms. Single handedly driven, it combines power and style perfectly.

      Good For Riding
      The bike is too good on highway’s but the problem is ground clearance, for every road hump we must slow down.
