    New colours and OBD-2 update in the pipeline for the beautiful cafe racer

    Royal Enfield is one busy company! While it’s usually the spy shots of the firm’s motorcycles that are in the news, this time it’s an update. Our dealer sources have told us that the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is all set to get alloy wheels as well as new colours with the impending OBD-2 update (the new emission norms are set to kick in from April 1, 2023). 

    A test mule of the bike with alloys was actually spotted last year too. The tyres could be the same CEATs that are currently offered on the current Continental GT 650 with a tube inside them. 

    Would Royal Enfield offer the two-cylinder cafe racer with alloys as standard? Maybe, on a few colour options like we have seen happen with the Royal Enfield Classic 350’s Dark Stealth Black and Dark Gunmetal Grey colour schemes. The wheels could also be a part of the company’s Make-it-Yours initiative where buyers can spec out their Royal Enfields with accessories and get it delivered straight from the factory.

    Furthermore, the beautiful cafe racer is also all set to get some new colours. The updated model could arrive towards the end of March, commanding a Rs 10,000-12,000 premium over its current price. We also expect the same bunch of changes to be applied to the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.

      Gt650 royal enfield
      I always wanted a classic. The GT six still looks amazing. Sounds great when engine makes every ride good. Feel special smooth, the power delivery makes every ride enjoyable and give it a unique experience. The ride has been excellent. The engine is refined, acceleration, smooth, and the exhaust not active riding pushes 40, so it can feel tiring on the long right but incredible fun on highways smooth as it is. I would definitely recommend the GT to anyone full of classic styling and strong performance is perfect for the weekend rights and highway touring though the committed writing portion may not suit everyone for daily committing.

      About gt650
      This bike is one of all fav bikes where every teenager trys to buy this bike becomes of it looks, especially in chrome colour and this is the only bike where we get looks and power for its price and it is the only 650 cc we get under good price. I ridden this bike around 20000 km and the positives are the power, the torque, looks the negative side of this bike is we need to get used to the position of the bike and for long travels we can't prefer it. The person who is into bike and who wants a pure power with zero modes and tech he can buy this bike and for the road presences it is the most sold bike. The person who wants to travel he should avoid this bike.

      Pro and cons of gt650
      Its good bike only if you can handle it because of its weigth and high cc, its not beginner friendly but if you have experience with high cc and heavy bike its gonna be best bike for its price. but its still not good for day to day or city driving because of its heating and low mileage, its gonna be a problem.

      Good and bad
      I wanted good classy looking cool bike and GT 650 is exactly what I wanted, it has no competitor. If given second chance of choosing bike, I would still pick this up instead of speedy KTM bikes. Only problem it has is the weight is hard to manage and it can be hard to turn in corners but I knew what I was buying. Its a good bike, I have some burn marks on my legs but that is what I expect it gets hot and you can feel the heat in city but it won't shut down and cause issue, you should treat it like a 600 cc bike and properly respect its weight in corners and city. Only if you have other bikes and cars. This being your primary day to day bike is not can be easy to use in a city or day to day commute to office. It will be too much of power and weight. Only buy for highways and sunday ride.

      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 can't give you if you'er going to college or office the royal enfild continental gt 650 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 gt 650 in the market for a middle call this bike is best.
