Autologue Design has announced a ‘Cafe Racer’ design kit for the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650. The highlight of the kit will be a half-fairing which will come with its own mounting brackets and completely engulf the front end of the bike. We also expect the folks at Autologue Design to replace the stock mirrors with bar end units to complete the look.

Apart from the fairing, the kit also consists of a new seat cowl for the optional single seat offered by Royal Enfield. This cowl appears to be longer than the stock unit. One of the renders also showcases a mesh-like design on the centre panel that’s reminiscent of the Triumph Thruxton. Lasty, it also gets small panels sprouting just above the exhaust headers. Apart from these changes, the motorcycle will continue to sport its stock look. We’ve also come to know that Autologue is planning to get it ready by the end of this month for a price of somewhere around Rs 20,000 (or lower).
Royal Enfield launched the Continental GT 650 alongside the Interceptor 650 last year. Since then, both motorcycles have received a positive response both commercially and critically. As per reports, the Chennai-based bikemaker sold over 2,000 units of the 650 twins in the month of May alone.
While both motorcycle share the same engine and underpinnings, the Continental GT 650 is 4kg lighter than its sibling at 198 kg owing to the smaller fuel tank and the lack of a centre stand. Powering the motorcycle is an all-new 648cc, air- and-oil-cooled parallel twin motor which churns out 47PS of power and 52Nm of torque.
Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 (2018-2026) User Reviews
- 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.
1 - 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.
1 2 - 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.
3 2 - 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.
