This Continental GT 650 From Zeus Customs Is The Flat Tracker We All Need
The flat tracker was inspired from a Moose, hence the “Moose” project
The flat tracker was inspired from a Moose, hence the “Moose” project
The ‘Moose’ project started like any other bike or custom motorcycle - on a blank canvas. As the name suggests, the bike was inspired by a Moose. Several iterations later, Zeus customs finally had the idea right. To convert the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 into a flat tracker that’s equally good on-road and looks the part, every piece and body panel has been thought through.
The custom shop emphasises details. To begin with, the frame of the bike needed to have curved lines mimicking the curvature of the twin exhaust pipes. The tail section of the bike has been entirely rebuilt, from the seat cowl to the single shock absorber. As for the front suspension, it’s been dropped by an inch to give the bike the stance of a flat tracker.
Then come the wide handlebars finished in black that stick out like a pair of antlers with minimal switches to keep it clean. The turn signal light has been installed at the far end of the handlebar.
The dome-shaped headlight has been replaced with a curved mask that represents the Moose’s mouth. Hence, the two-layer design with a dime light in between -- a unique little touch, but an impractical one.
Turn your attention to the mid-section and you’d notice the fuel cap has been moved to the right-hand side of the fuel tank, which adorns the Royal Enfield logo. The tank flows beautifully into the seat with its custom touch. The Chocolate colour leather seat is hand-stitched and features a ribbed design with the brand’s logo embroidered onto it.
Another big change is the paint finish on the engine. Parts of the engine are finished in black with custom exhausts branching out from either end of the parallel-twin engine. The silver pipes get brass tips -- a signature feature from Zeus customs.
The modified rear subframes fuse to form the LED tail light while the tail section looks like a race bike. The air filter, on the other hand, has been replaced with a spittoon filter, which sits out in the open, adding to the bike’s appearance. You’d also notice modification made to the now modern swingarm. It runs Dunlop dual-purpose tyres, which are equally good on the road and dirt.
To finish things off, the body panels were painted in a pearl white paint scheme overlayed with dark grey.
Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 (2018-2026) 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
