With the amateur and professional riders put together, the cup should be even more interesting this year
After a successful first season, Royal Enfield has announced the second Season of its one-make racing series, the Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup. Online registrations for the same are open until the 27th of July. This time, Royal Enfield has opted for a Pro-AM format in which professional as well as amateur riders will race each other. Riders can register under either the Amateur or Professional category, depending on their racing experience.
Of all the registered participants, 25 professional and 75 amateur riders will then be selected for the Rider Selection Programme, which will take place at Kari Motor Speedway. The top 25 fastest riders, which includes 10 professional and 15 amateur, will then progress to race in the season.
These 25 riders will then finally battle it out against each other over a course of three rounds, consisting of eight races. The first round will be held from September 16 to 18, while the second one will be held between October 28 and 30 at the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore. The final round will take place at the Buddh International Circuit from December 16 to 18.

The riders’ weapon of choice will be the race-spec Royal Enfield Continental GT-R650, a bike that we got to see up close, and even ride last year. For this season though, Royal Enfield has partnered with Harris Performance for enhanced track parts like lowered clip-on handlebars and footpegs that are even more rear-set.
Other bits on the race-spec bike remain the same. It is not only a colossal 24kg lighter, but also has 12 percent more power than the road-going Royal Enfield Continental GT 650. Other changes include a stiffer suspension setup, sintered brake pads and brake callipers along with insulated pistons, to suit the extreme environment of the racing track. The bike’s bodywork consists of race fairings and belly pans, which Royal Enfield says have been developed at its technology centre in the UK.

Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 User Reviews
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.Read More
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. Read More
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.Read More
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.Read More
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.
