      Royal Enfield's GT 650 is the most Beautiful and powerful Bike. This bike Mileage is not bad but you can't drive this bike regularly. So most of the comments are this bike have some unique Sound at this 650 segment. GT Maintenance cost around 3k-5k/Month. So Overall this machine are Beauty with Power.

      Beast & Beautiful Machine
      Good comfortable bike with good smooth exhaust note. Comfort in long trips and ride. The 650 cc engine roars as you switch on the engine. Improvement in meter console is required, better electronics required. Also the seat height is ambient for most of the riders. The bike weight a lott but handling compliments it already.

      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.

      Wolf in sheep's clothing
      Very smooth to ride within and out side the city, negligible heating up in heavy traffic like the Harley's. Amazing pick up in any gear. Can easily be mistaken for a sports bike. Slick handling inspite of long wheelbase .

      Great "Sports Cruiser"
      Great Sports Cruiser and a Head turner. It is surprisingly highly maneuverable compared to its size. One issue though is its low 130 mm Ground clearance which often creates issues around Speed bumps in Cities.
