Which Continental GT 650 Colour Is Best For You?
Of the six beautiful colours on sale, let’s see which one’s for whom
We finally have the updated Royal Enfield 650 twins in India. While we’ve already explained the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650’s colours for you, let’s talk about its cafe racer brother now. The Continental GT 650 can be had in a total of six colours which come at four different prices. Confused? Fret not. Let’s see which ones are new, which ones are old, and then you can decide for yourself which one to splurge your hard-earned money on:
Older Colours (Spoke Wheels)
Spoke wheels indeed enhance this retro racer’s already stunning appearance; and if you want to retain the authentic retro look, you’ve four colours to choose from and here’s how much each will cost you:
|
Continental GT 650 Variant |
Price (ex-showroom India) |
|
Rocker Red/British Racing Green |
Rs 3,19,000 (Rs 13,376 more than before) |
|
Dux Deluxe |
Rs 3,29,000 (Rs 14,962 more than before) |
|
Mr. Clean |
Rs 3,45,000 (Rs 13,432 more than before) |
The Rocker Red and British Racing Green colourways look bright and eye-catching. The latter, especially, will make you look like a racer from the 60s.
But we can’t possibly talk about attention-grabbing paint jobs and not talk about the Mr. Clean trim eh? The boys at BikeDekho were swooning over it when it came to our office, because of the perfect blend of black and gold to complement the shiny chrome finish. That said, this mister will demand a lot of TLC (Tender Loving Care) too.
Those looking for something more subtle would prefer the Dux Deluxe, though. The combination of white and black with gold pinstriping and highlights on the tank logo look pleasing to the eye.
New Colours (Alloy Wheels)
If you want a touch of modernity (and practicality) to your cafe racer with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres, Royal Enfield has two options for you, both priced at Rs 3,39,000 (ex-showroom India). The Slipstream Blue is the more eye-catching of the two. The blue graphics on the all-black tank look stunning. But what’s a bit of a miss is the rather simple alloy design. The bike would’ve looked absolutely perfect had the alloys’ design been a bit more modern.
Apex Grey is for the ones who find the Slipstream Blue a bit too loud. The grey tank looks elegant and neat. What works for the alloy-wheeled bikes is the blacked-out treatment to the engine and the exhausts which in our opinion looks drop-dead gorgeous. The 2023 models come with a revised rotary-styled switchgear, USB charging port on the left switchgear and an LED headlight.
Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 User Reviews
- 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 More2 1
- 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 More2

- jus monstaPerformance on Terrain man! the bike handles "even on uneven roads" and has a "strong pickup" compared to others in its class. Costs maintenance is minimal and specifically bought it for "fuel saving" to avoid recurring petrol costs. the gear shifts as "soft" and the engine as remaining "smooth" even after a year of riding ~40 km daily. Recommend for both beginners and daily office commuters.Read More1 1
- Gt650. Why you should buy oneI saw a gt535 in a telugu movie and it was love at first, but they discontinued it but love just shifted from 535 to 650 and 8 years later. I bought the bike and its the best thing I ever did and I love it. Positive, It's the best modern classic and the best cafe racer available in India.It gives you so much adrenaline rush driving it makes you go all gaga and makes you feel like kid playing with his hot wheels. Yes I absolutely would, but it's not for everyone if you don't have the experience with aggressive riding position it's not for you. And its not a beginner bike at all so if you are still in your college please don't buy it.Read More3
