Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 Summary

Last Updated December 3, 2024

Royal Enfield offers several bikes in the 650cc range; here are our top 3 picks

What is the Continental GT650 price?

The cheapest Continental GT650 variant price is Rs 3,19,000 whereas the top-end variant price is Rs 3,45,000 (both ex-showroom, Delhi).

How many types of Continental GT650 are there?

The Royal Enfield Continental GT650 is available in different colour options at different price points. The Apex Grey and Slipstream Blue colour variants are equipped with alloy wheels with tubeless tyres whereas the rest of the colour variants get spoke wheels with tubed tyres. Apart from the difference in the colours, and wheels and tyres, the rest of the features and mechanical bits of the bike are the same across all variants.

What are the colours of the Continental GT650?

The base British Racing Green and Rocker Red are priced at Rs 3,19,000 whereas the Dux Deluxe is priced at Rs 3,29,000. The mid-spec Apex Grey, and Slipstream Blue variants are available at Rs 3,39,000. The costliest Continental GT650 variant, called Mr. Clean, is priced at Rs 3,45,000 (all prices are ex-showroom Delhi). The Continental GT 650's best colour in our opinion would be British Racing Green as it goes really well with the retro cafe racer theme of the bike. The Apex Grey is also good, especially for those who want an elegant cafe racer with the added convenience of tubeless tyres.

Is Continental GT650 powerful? 

With 47.45PS and 52Nm, the Continental GT650 may not be as powerful as other liquid-cooled 650cc bikes, but what makes the Continental GT special is that the engine offers plenty of torque lower down the rev range, and its pickup is pretty good too, in case you push the bike. With a 0-100kmph pickup time of just 6.61 seconds, the Continental GT is a pretty fast bike. It can even go from 30kmph to 70kmph in third gear in just 4.30 seconds. So you won’t have to worry about quick overtakes either. 

What is the mileage of Continental GT650?

The real-world tested mileage of Continental GT650 is 22.03kmpl in the city and 29.14kmpl on the highway. These are decent numbers for a heavy, air-oil-cooled 650cc parallel twin bike. That said, the fuel tank capacity is somewhat small, at 12.5 litres. So you’ll have to refuel more often.

Is the Continental GT650 good for daily use?

The Continental GT650 has a committed riding posture, so unless you’re used to riding sportsbikes, it may not be comfortable for daily commutes. This is because the clip-on handlebars are low, and most of the body weight ends up falling on the wrists if not ridden properly. You’ll have to ‘hold’ the bike with your thighs and will have to use your core strength to support yourself while riding, so that there’s not much strain on your wrists and back. While the engine doesn’t heat up that much in traffic, you can still feel the heat on your shin or calves when you put your feet down while being stationary. You won’t feel the heat as much while you’re riding, especially because the footpegs are rear-set, away from the engine.

Is Continental GT650 heavy?

At 214kg kerb, the Continental GT650 is a heavy bike. Thankfully, the 805mm seat height isn’t that tall and its narrow profile allows riders of most statures to place their feet firmly on the ground. This should help in moving the bike physically from tight spaces despite the heavyweight. 

Is the Continental GT650 good for long rides?

The Continental GT650’s engine is excellent for long rides as it feels refined even at triple-digit speeds, thanks to its twin-cylinder construction. You can cruise even at 120-130kmph on the highway without the engine sounding stressed. However, the aggressive riding posture and the relatively smaller fuel tank may make it unsuitable for long rides. If you’re really looking to go for long rides in your Continental GT 650, then invest in the Black Premium Touring Dual Seat, available as an official accessory at a price of Rs 3,255. This should make long distance travel on the Continental GT a little more comfortable than the stock seat. 

Royal Enfield Continental GT650 features:

The Continental GT650 has an LED headlight, bulb indicators and tail light. It gets assist and slipper clutch, in which the assist function reduces the lever affort whereas the slipper clutch prevents the rear wheel from hopping while engine braking aggressively. Certain variants also get alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, which can handle punctures much better than the tubed ones. The instrument cluster is pretty simple with an analogue speedometer and tachometer, along with a digital inset for fuel gauge, odometer and tripmeter readings. There’s also a USB port which should come in handy to charge your phone.

Best accessories for Continental GT650:

The best Continental GT650 accessory in our opinion would be the Compact Engine Guard from the official accessory list, priced at Rs 2,800. It will prevent the engine from getting damaged in case of a fall. It also looks pretty subtle and doesn’t intrude into the clean, cafe racer aesthetics of the bike. To complete the cafe racer look, we’d also recommend the Black Premium Touring Rider Seat with the cowl (Rs 3,500). However, this is strictly for those who ride solo. If you ride often with a pillion, then you may go for the Black Premium Touring Dual Seat (3,255). 

Is it worth buying the Continental GT650?

If you’re looking for a proper cafe racer in the big bike segment that doesn’t cost a bomb, then the Continental GT 650 is the only option available in India.

Royal Enfield Continental GT650 alternatives in India

There are no real alternatives to the Continental GT 650 in India. But if you’re looking for a sporty faired bike, then the KTM RC390 is a good option in its price bracket. It may not be as refined as the Continental GT 650 but offers better performance, better handling, and is packed with features, including height-adjustable handlebars to make everyday commutes or weekend track rides all the more easy.

Things We Like

  • Gets basic analogue features, which haven’t been updated in a long time

Continental GT 650 Expert Review

BikeDekho Experts
“Being the only affordable cafe racer in the sub-650cc category, the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 strikes a good balance between retro sportiness and modern usability. It has beautiful looks, a torquey and tractable engine and tackles corners really well. ”

Overview

The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is the only cafe racer on sale in India right in the sub-650cc category. The manufacturer has been giving it small yet meaningful updates from time to time to keep it fresh. So, does the cafe racer still have its appeal with so many different options available in the market these days? 

Design

The Continental GT 650 keeps its cool cafe racer style but with a modern touch. They've added alloy wheels with tubeless tyres and LED headlights to make it look even fancier, while still keeping that old-school vibe. The gorgeous colour schemes available for the cafe racer goes well with the blacked-out mechanical parts, giving it a unique and cool look. The old school design language has its own charm that commands attention everywhere it goes.

Engine, Mileage & Performance

Powered by a 648cc parallel-twin engine, the Continental GT 650 has ample low-end torque, meaning the cafe racer can be easily ridden in the city. You don’t have to constantly keep the motor at higher revs to have enough performance to go about  your daily commutes.

On the highway or any open stretches of road, the Continental GT 650 can quickly reach triple digit speeds and you can cruise at those speeds comfortably for long periods of time. The acceleration is quite smooth and the torquey engine makes sure that there’s enough grunt for quickly overtaking vehicles on the highway.

Handling & Ride Quality

With alloy wheels and the tubeless Vredestien Centauro NS tyres, the Continental GT 650 gives you great control of the bike and a smooth ride. It easily handles twists and turns, and even when you brake hard, the bike manages to remain steady and composed, giving you an exciting and enjoyable ride. It has quite a heavy kerb weight of 214kg and a committed cafe racer riding posture. But despite these, the Continental GT 650 is agile enough to navigate busy city traffic situations. 

Comfort

As mentioned above, this bike is quite heavy and has an aggressive riding posture. So, at slow speeds and turns, it might make you a bit uncomfortable. It might take a while for one to find their own comfortable position while riding the bike. The suspension does a good job of handling bumps, though, so on slightly bumpy roads, your ride stays pretty smooth. But it’s better to slow down for the bigger bumps.

Features

The Continental GT 650 doesn’t come with a big list of modern features but it does get an LED headlight which is a nice touch to the overall retro appeal of the bike. The addition of alloy wheels and tubeless tyre setup further elevates its functionality and aesthetics. The twin-pod analogue instrument console looks really cool but the inaccurate fuel gauge might be a bit of a pain from time to time.

Should you buy

If you are in the market specifically for a cafe racer that has a good balance between retro looks and touch of modern features, then the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is the one you should look out for. It is quite heavy and has a very committed riding posture, for sure. But the bike makes up for it with the smooth and torquey motor, great handling characteristics and beautiful looks.

    Continental GT 650 is a powerful machine
    Flower nahi fire hey đŸ”„ it's a powerful machine . Not for kids . It's a cafe racer bike so don't expect comfort from this. If you want a powerful bike definitely go for it. Mileage is dicent enough, although " royal Enfield chalane vale , mileage ki fikar nahi karte". It's my dream bike & I definitely gonna buy this one day

    Caferacer from Royal Enfield. Worth the 4.5 lakhs?
    Okay so first of all, Royal Enfield offers the cheapest of the segment yet really powerful and decently priced in terms of maintenance. Comfort is not what you look for before buying this bike. Its more of a feel than comfort or rather ride quality. Parallel twin, really refined engine and the average is about 18 - 20 kmpl which is decent for the segment. Power delivery is on point, mid range torque and a top speed of almost 200 kmph is awesome at this price point. At the end of the day, as a bike enthusiast I'd suggest you to go for it unless you are on a budget. If not and you got plenty to spend on then it's a really good and worth spending the money. And beware tho, once you start spending money on mods there's actually no way of going back cause you wouldn't want to. Its just my point of view. Overall I love it, I'm a proud RE GT650 owner myself.
