If you have a thing for cafe racers, this is the bike. Lovely handling, entry level power which is good, and some decent features. Classic aura, makes you feel like you're on a back-in-the-day rally esp with bags loaded. If you don't like such an aggressive rider's triangle, don't attempt. Check out the inter /meteor. Or 390s. Or anything else.
I m just in love with this bike GT BUT with wobbling issues I doubt should I buy this or go for DUKE 390 I don't like the looks of Duke and GT wherther to buy chrome engine or black engine GT full of confusion
@@rakshanpoojary439 for gt, bar end mirrors are must not only for the looks but also bcoz u r lean forward and to get a proper view from the mirror u need to lean a bit back N.B. My gt has lower clipon and maybe that's why i feel bar end mirror makes more sense without leaning back to see the mirror properly
If I am not wrong, this is India’s first sports class motorcycle with a 650cc engine. That’s why Continental GT has a fanbase way superior to any actual sportsbike in India ( apart from Busa )
Lol cafe racer is NOT sports bike. The main characteristic of sports bike is it's sharp handling and aggressive braking. Ride a RC390 and GT back to back, you'll know the difference.
actually you know there are not much options in 600 cc band , with the cost it comes with , it becomes really good to own something like 650 cc engine power
It doesn't actually have an 650 engine power..@@idk-69247 And even an r3 is comparable because of its power/weight ratio..r3 is actually faster.. So get it only if you want a good looking cafe racer.
I bought Highness a month ago, but I test drove the Interceptor 650 few days ago and bike did not feel like a Royal Enfield at all(for the good reasons)! When I think of RE, I was expecting vibrations, but the Interceptor did not vibrate at all! Power delivery as per my understanding was quite smooth. It wasn't flying as soon as you open the throttle, but the pace was gradual. Gearbox and braking were quite wonderful too❤
Interceptor wasn't flying when you opened the throttle ? , Lol , it goes from 0 to 100kmph in just 7 seconds , so considering that to your Honda Hness , Interceptor is definitely Flying , and i have test drived it multiple times
Question for me strell is , you do complain about your knee , a part of your feet coming in contact with the engine and the wobbling issue post 120km/hr, then how come you are recommending this bike to someone who wants a 'racing bike ' when it has problems in ergonomics, riding stability and in the front suspension?
Hey, looking to purchase this model... but like you I also feel the instrument cluster is too basic. Can we not change it, maybe with the super meteor one or another bike(non-RE)? Didn't find too many videos on it.
I would suggest please go for the ADV 390 X or wait for the bikes like new ktm duke 390 / Himalayan 450 and then re-think your options before spending the money
Its like you want a Classic 350 or an RC390 few years back. Meteor 650 is relaxed but heavy to maneuver. GT 650 feels faster and more fun to ride. If you plan to ride with pillion, then Meteor.
HI Strell. I am planning to buy a new twin cylinder Royal Enfield motorcycle. Out of the 4 available right now, I am in love with continental GT 650. Is there any update coming to this motorcycle anytime soon? Maybe a new engine / better equipment / more features. Should I put off my purchase for some time? since this bike has been almost unchanged for over 5 years now (except a few color variants / alloy wheels, whatever you covered in this video). Thanks in advance.
650s always had high-speed stability issues. I don't think it's because of alloy wheels. It has something to do with the tyres or the suspension set up.
@@iamstrell bro i had a full fairing installed on my gt 650 and the front end weight has gone up due to the fairing & due to that fairing making the bike front heavy there is no wobbling even at 170kmph on speedometer, The bike feels rock solid at that speed bcoz of the fairing Conclusion: what i think the bike has most of the weight at the centre and back & the front end is light compared to the back, that's why there's a wobble due to front-end lightedness , So putting fairing or anykind of heavy weight on the front end will disappear the wobble ig
Bro strell is just giving wrong information i request just watch the video of maxxis , then u will see how brilliant the ride is pls check that video once
Bro according to your knowledge you deserve millions of subscribe (each year)......... But I think you need to shift to Hindi or English but mix Hindi. Your maximum audience are from India or Pakistan (&they love and connect in Hindi) ... Rest upon you ❤️❤️🤟🤟
Ridden adv390 and int650. Vouching for 650 in the character department, adv 390 for the adventure department. So in your case it is indeed int650.. (i have one in my garage :))
is ur height 5'6 or 5'7 , 2 days back i went to shorwroom for int650 but it felt kinda tall only half foot touched ground , should i go for gt ? will lowering suspenssion help ?
Going for GT or Interceptor clearly depends on your riding style. But I'd suggest not to try anything to lower the suspension. It's not a good idea for this bike.
Go for rc390 too fast in corners and braking power is too superior to gt650 main problem is very soft front forks dumb RE gave usd forks to supermeteor which is absolutely non sense if they don't give to GT650
Why isn't no body on the internet talking about how close the gear and brake lever are to the engine. You almost touch the engine everytime you ride and it's scary
Hai buddy am planing to buy my first bike and am planing to take a shoutgun .. I only had one thing in my mind I don't want a single cyclender bike .. I have a budget of 6l so which one the best option .. I think I enjoy cursing in high speeds .. I was car guy so never taken bikes that much so what's your opinion broi what bike will suit me
Just wanted to say adding that disclaimer doesn't stop the law from taking action against you. Chapri are going to be chapri regardless of your attempts, I just saw some idiot putting water into the GT650 exhaust for some reason I couldn't fathom, he thought it looked cool I guess.
Meanwhile me who’s already a 650 owner watching this😮💨🤝….honestly love it!

Yeah this is my question too.. Anyone who owns gt please share
Imo cafe racers look a lot better with spoke wheels, but alloys are much easier to deal with
The thing with default (free) mirrors that comes with it, there’s a big issue for visibility. Would recommend bar end mirrors.
I own the Interceptor and the mirrors are fine. Can't say about the GT though!

Remove the rear mudguard's part below number plate then you feel look enhanced

In you opinion which more stable on road interceptor or contiental 2023 .what is the milage

Chalk & cheese
Bruh....are u confused among which to pick like cruiser or cafe racer or are u confused due to which looks better or has better performance?
Hi strell .... Wts ur view on 2019 Harley Davidson street / rod 750 and new continental gt 650 in your experience which one u suggest most ??
maintaining harley is harder in india and any local mechanic isn't good with harley bikes. whereas Royal Enfield is much familiar with the Mechanic .
Oh Man Open Road!
Get Some.
Good reviews 😊

exactly, I have the same question
The silver steel looking colour is still the best looking yo me
strell would you recommend some sticky tyres for gt 650
brother what camera do you use while riding its quite nice?
Confused between gt650 and Triumph speed 400
Which one did you end up buying?
Brother, my question is does new alloy's makes any difference in riding quality and is it lighter when compared to previous versions
its to reduce wobbling issues as well as lose a lil bit of weight
So, does spoked wheels address the crosswind drifting Strell? Was it better with the previous version of GT ?
650s always had high-speed stability issues. I don't think it's because of alloy wheels. It has something to do with the tyres or the suspension set up.

What about the updated tyres? You Didn't talk about that while riding
Bro what about Heating issue of that Black Engine?? Compare to Chrome Engine is good or bad in Heat?
Does it have high speed wobble? Like the old one
Brother i having a small dout that interceptor 650 (2023) model wobbling while you are in the speed of 90 or 100.

Many thanks for the nice review 👍
Isnt it that the interceptor have the same engine as the GT ..?
What bad in intereceptor for people wanting a comfy ride
What would you pick personally between the Duke 390 and Interceptor 650?
Duke 390 for its versatility compared to gt 650
Ridden adv390 and int650. Vouching for 650 in the character department, adv 390 for the adventure department. So in your case it is indeed int650.. (i have one in my garage :))
@@TN23BIKER True. Surely feels more deceptive than the 650
@@AkashPaul-ql1fu That's great! Is the weight of the 650 manageable in the city? Planning to get one but worried abit about city usage
@@anujarttI have both and prefer the Interceptor 650 but also enjoy the 390 Duke.
is ur height 5'6 or 5'7 ,
2 days back i went to shorwroom for int650 but it felt kinda tall only half foot touched ground , should i go for gt ?
will lowering suspenssion help ?
I am 5'6. But the interceptor has footpegs right down the rider. Hence, we have to keep our legs spread. And hence feels taller.
Going for GT or Interceptor clearly depends on your riding style. But I'd suggest not to try anything to lower the suspension. It's not a good idea for this bike.
I want the Halogen back and the spoke wheels back.
I am upgrading from a fz250, SUPER CONFUSED b/w this and the sm650.
What would be your advice Strell?
Bhai there's no comparison bw sm and gt both are so much different even in power delivery. Cruiser=sm, caferacer=gt simple.
This bike shld be awarded as "ergonomically failure".
Nothing else.
Parts Quality is 3rd class.
Engine is good. Nothing else.
i am looking for good and reliable bike i am confused between ninja 300 & Gt 650 b'cz these both bikes come under same price plz suggest me
Go for GT
Gt 650 or the rc 390? I loved riding them both. I'm so confused
If you enjoy corners then go for 390.
Go for rc390 too fast in corners and braking power is too superior to gt650 main problem is very soft front forks dumb RE gave usd forks to supermeteor which is absolutely non sense if they don't give to GT650

Ninja is a very lighter, faster motorcycle. The only advantage I650 has is on service cost and accessibility of service related things.
