Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 First Ride Review – RE-defined

November 16, 2018 by Aspi Bhathena Leave a Comment

The Twins are finally here and we have ridden them. Here is what we think about them.


For the second part of the ride, I was astride the Continental GT. The sporty riding position makes you push the bike and, being higher, the foot-pegs don’t scrape easily.

On the ride back along the Pacific Coast Highway, I was able to see 110 mph (177 km/h) on the clock. You can cruise comfortably between 100 and 120 km/h all day long without batting an eyelid.

The Twins are finally here and we have ridden them. Here is what we think about them.

After spending about five hours in the saddle my back was not sore nor were my hands tingling. The only changes I would recommend are a little less rebound damping on the rear piggyback shock-absorbers and a slightly wider saddle with a little more padding.

Finally, we can lay our apprehension to rest as to whether Royal Enfield are able to deliver a good motorcycle. I can tell you that they have delivered two near-perfect motorcycles. Yes, Royal Enfield have nailed it this time.

The Twins are finally here and we have ridden them. Here is what we think about them.

Check out the ex-showroom prices of all the variants, here.
