Lock Stock by Royal Enfield:
The Lock Stock is a custom build, made by Royal Enfield themselves. The Chennai-based motorcycle manufacturer teamed up with UK-based Harris Performance and S&S Cycles from USA to create this drag machine.

The ‘Interceptor’ by Old Empire Motorcycles:
The ‘Interceptor’ has been built keeping minimalism in mind. It takes the concept to an extreme with clean handlebars devoid of even the brake and clutch levers. Royal Enfield says the wires and cables are hidden with internalised controls like twist-grip clutch and throttle. Adding a dose of modernity is the new keyless ignition integrated into matching riding gloves! The integrated front and rear brakes have also been linked with a fully adjustable proportioning valve! As the name suggests, the base motorcycle is the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, and here’s its list of mods:
- Body: Hand formed aluminium

- Body finish: Black base with candy red paint
Rohini by Young Guns Speed Shop:
The Continental GT 650 is in itself a good-looking cafe racer. And it just got even more wholesome with Switzerland-based Young Guns Speed Shop’s build. The motorcycle draws inspiration from India’s space program and its Rohini satellites. However, they wanted to keep the modification as minimal as possible, and hence retained the mechanical components. The motorcycle features a slim, aerodynamic front fairing and a monocoque seat/tail unit. While the paint job looks relatively sober; in the dark, a layer of reflective paint transforms the classic lines into what Royal Enfield calls “a riot of Razzle Dazzle light” - blurring the lines between being beautifully retro and wildly modern. Check out the mods in this custom:
- Body: Hand fabricated fiberglass front fairing and monocoque seat / tail unit
- Switches and tachometer: Motogadget.
- Exhaust system: All hand fabricated, including silencer
- Handlebar: By LSL
- Paint job: Both standard and Razzle Dazzle effect by Pfeil design
- Footrests: Tarrozzi with handmade brackets.
- Levers by Magura
- Rear shocks by Ohlins.
Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 User Reviews
- Gt650 royal enfieldI 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.Read More
- About gt650This 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.Read More
- Pro and cons of gt650Its 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.Read More1 2
- Good and badI 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.Read More3 2
- Its a whole different vibe with 650That 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.Read More3 1
