That ride made me smile 😁😁. Wonderful! The 650 is fast enough for most roads isn't it? There is no other family of bikes that I like as much 👍👍. They look great, sound great and with aftermarket shocks they handle very well also. The 120th anniversary edition is a beauty. Primitive and visceral 😁😁.
I could happily have every model of Royal Enfield in my garage. This 120th anniversary model would be sat in my living room, so I could just look at it before wheeling it out for rides. Another great video TAYM 😀
As a car guy I've always, of course, been more interested in cars, but RE and Triumph bikes never fail to put a smile on my face whenever I see them around.
Little story.. Before I got myself the new classic 350, was keen on getting a Himy and was on test ride on 2nd hand one from a online selling place. The dude was crazy. He had from every RE model at the time. The interceptor in red-crome, the same limited edition continental GT and limited edition classic 500 black .. I was to test the Himy but my eyes was on the classic. But he did not want to sell it at all ! They are keepers !😁😁
I have 16 of 60 of the RE Interceptor here in the U.S. Thank your friend for allowing you to ride and review his GT, not many of either have been shown on TH-cam. I love the Scorpion silencers, can’t get them in black here or shipped here unfortunately.
Amazing 😁 what lucky chaps you both are 😁 absolutely stunning bikes 😁 shame about the scorpion pipes🤔 someone must be able to send you some😁 thanks BW 😁
Well that was a blast TAYM! It really is a thing of beauty isn't it? The attention to detail is incredible, Steven is a very lucky fella and thanks to him for letting you share it with us. 👍
Absolutely stunning ! If I could afford a third bike, it would be the GT. Thank you to Stephen and a great review, m8. The wife laughed at your stiff comment 😄😁😆😅🤣😂.
Marvellous, it's a bike I fancied the second I first saw one, though I never realised just how exclusive they were. Absolutely gorgeous looking and sounding with those Scorpion exhausts. Steven is indeed a very lucky man to have the pleasure of owning and riding it 👍😁
@@RoyalEnfield120 I'm in the UK and now own four bikes but not this one, still I think I've covered all my bases with the ones which I have but thank you very much for your offer.
@@greywolf9292 i had my doubts, but wondered probably not everyone in the comments are from UK :). Even if u ask me i will recommend sourcing locally in UK or rest of Europe. Its a hassle to export/import!
Hi Taym, out of the RE 650's I like Continental GT the best, the tank has a nice shape and the whole bike looks streamlined and ready for naughty boy action.😊👍🏍
I do love the 120 year models of both this and the Interceptor, they look fab. Nice to see it being ridden and enjoyed rather than left in a crate as an investment piece. Excellent.
Thanks C😁 I completely forgot 😁 what happened was, the right badge was more tarnished than the left, so RE sent a new polished one but when seeing it the unpolished one looked better, more authentic 😁😂😂😂
I have only just found your channel recently. Tonight has been spent watching your channel including the 2 up ones , i find your humour very funny , and its the first on TH-cam seeing people talking to cones 😅 i will now see them in a different light . Anyway i have subscribed, looking forward to watching many more videos & keep up the excellent work.
I am getting one of those g.t 's i really love the sound very jealous we have a dealer here in Gettysburg..... have to get down there soon may even go big bore plus Going to deck it out with the bolt on parts- after market nice growling sound i have to get a Royal Enfield to keep the miles off my triumph also going to grab a spare motor for the triumph 2018 l.c as always great video.......
A lovely bike TAYM but I could see it was bringing out the naughty boy TAYM. I think that black chrome finish would give me anxiety I'm precious enough now about my Bonneville I'd want to wrap that tank in cotton wool before I took it out incase anyone put fingerprints on it. 🤣
Stunning looking bike, you were going to tell us about the tank badge and why its different from any other bike ? and l liked the story about your film corrupting so you needed another ride 😉😂
Makes you wonder about that Australian who won 1 if each. Only in Australia that would happen sounds a bit fishy Ausie criminality & corruption probably😁😆😂🤣.
...we blame the Brits for our criminality, only our ancestors who were silly enough to get caught were transported the serious smart crimes stayed in the UK and probably immigrated to NZ.
Very nice haven't seen one of these in the flesh yet TAYM although my preference would be the Inter , it is a lovely looking bike my only reservation really is the seat unit and how it looks with the rest of the bike. I think it's the way it finishes at the back with the frame and mudguard to me it somehow doesn't gel but how that could change I really am not sure . The black just looks perfect and the brown too a much better look than a chrome tank for me but at near as damn it £25,000 just to much for any bike .😉👌👍
Yes, a lot of money and anyone that bought one for that is unlikely to ride it😁 that’s what I really like about Stephan, he bought it to ride and does exactly that 😁 thanks Crumb 😁
Don't get me wrong, the world has a growing place for the Royal Enfield range. They are doing a great job at bringing motorcycling to a broader audience. But I've got to say, if I see another "blacked out" motorcycle, I hope it's the last. For my eye, it should be called "cheaped out". And every manufacturer is guilty of the same crime against the visual senses. Give me polished aluminium and chrome, any day of the week.
Government uses the argument of confusing road speeds against you. 60/50/40/30/20 confusing for user, saver to make everything 20 mhp. Its easier and saver to go 20 mhp all the time. So don't say that again if you Ike a little speed. The extended rear light and license plate looks off.

Let me know if you are interested in getting one, two in my circle have it. Depends on your location.

“When you play with me, you play with fire.” The Stones singing about the 120 Anniversary Model Royal Enfield Continental GT 😍🤩🤤
😂😂😂😂 absolutely 😁
Your enthusiasm is contagious TAYM 😁 Thanks to the owner for letting us see their beautiful motorcycle 👍

120 th anniversary is a ridiculously good looking bike
Isn’t it just 😁 thanks 😁
RE did a great job with the paint in particular ...looks special.
Think he deserved a cake too for letting you ride it !
Absolutely 😁 thanks DJ 😁
I love my continental 650! An amazing, fun bike
Absolutely 😁 such good fun 😁 thanks CF 😁
That’s a Bloody nice bike
So shiny 😊
Thank you for showing us Taym 👍
Thanks ABD 😁 just watching you ride over the Wivenhoe Dam at the moment 😁 marvellous video 😁
What a beauty!❤
Thanks Returner 😁
I really wish they also made a regular brown seat available for everyone...
Absolutely agree 😁 thanks C 😁
Nice video, well explained
Thank you 😊 I feel honoured 😁
A lovely looking bike TAYM and obviously kept very nicely with a real rumble that’s not too obnoxious. Thankyou
Thanks GCK 😁 yes, a lovely sound 😁
What a beauty ! Great video .I cant get enough of RE lol
Thanks MW 😁 they are rather marvellous 😁
Thank your friend for sharing. Nice looking bike, glad to see it being ridden, not a garage ornament. Thanks
Absolutely 😁 thanks LoY 😁
Hi Taym, out of the RE 650's I like Continental GT the best, the tank has a nice shape and the whole bike looks streamlined and ready for naughty boy action.😊👍🏍

Stunner of a bike! ❤
Certainly is 😁 thanks W 😁

Thanks Ice 😁
Man I wish I knew about these special editions on time
Thanks Mr W 😁 yes, it would have been nice to be drawn out the hat for one 😁 for sure 😁
Smashing bike 😊. Excellent walk round &chat. You forgot to say about the badges? .Chris.
Thanks C😁 I completely forgot 😁 what happened was, the right badge was more tarnished than the left, so RE sent a new polished one but when seeing it the unpolished one looked better, more authentic 😁😂😂😂

What a beaut!..Thanks mr.TAYM.
Thanks BR 😁
Good morning TAYM. Nice bike... weather looks 😅 it's quite foggy here in Michigan . Che😅ers
Thanks DP 😁 hope it clears for you 😁
Beautiful, very very nice. Would definitely have one of those.
Me too Bill 😁
Lovely with the twin clocks. Much prefer that to the RE clocks on others
Yes, two clocks is a must isn’t it 😁 thanks V 😁
That bike is absolutely gorgeous.
If i was sticking with a single seat I'd get the seat frame shortened.
Yes, we discussed that but he does sometimes use the dual seat which also came with the bike😁 thanks Loki 😁
@@TAYM I wouldn't be cutting bits off a 30 grand bike🤣
@@loki1066 😂😂😂
The sub frame extending beyond the end of the seat looks like the 70's Norton Commando Roadster, a wonderful bike to ride and admire.
That is one handsome beast (the bike that is).
😂😂😂😂 thanks B 😁

Thanks JH 😁 it is fantastic to ride through the back roads, up and down the gears, lovely sound. 😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 party time.......
Absolutely stunning specimen... and the bike's not bad either 😉😂😂
That should hold its value really well
😂😂😂😂 thanks Noob 😁
Lovely bike. Similar to a Kawasaki w800 cafe.😂
Thanks AB 😁 it is very similar 😁

😂😂😂 I feel that way about the Thruxton but it seems to be pretty tough 😁 thanks Mike 😁
Nice😍
Lovely isn’t it 😁 thanks NR 😁
A stunning motorcycle. I hope you bought your mate a bacon roll as well 🤣🤣☺
Yes, we had cake 😁 no bacon butty though 😁 thanks BV 😁
What a great bike, not my style but great all the same.
Thanks MH 😁
Is it possible to get one at the moment?...i mean used atleast.
Yes, there are a couple about but starting price is about £16,000 😁 thanks AGOC 😁
Stunning looking bike, you were going to tell us about the tank badge and why its different from any other bike ? and l liked the story about your film corrupting so you needed another ride 😉😂
😂😂 yes, completely forgot, in short they sent a new polished one but he preferred the look of the tarnished looking one 😂😂😂 thanks MP 😁
@@TAYM So that makes his bike even more special, thanks for the info 👍
I know this is the limited edition, but price tag 4x higher than regular one is a tad too much, init?
Yes for a used bike it is ridiculous when they only cost £500 more than the standard one new 😁
With those handling attributes you were mentioning you'd reckon it would come in Viagra blue...sorry TAYM couldn't help it haha.
Makes you wonder about that Australian who won 1 if each.
Only in Australia that would happen sounds a bit fishy Ausie criminality & corruption probably😁😆😂🤣.
...we blame the Brits for our criminality, only our ancestors who were silly enough to get caught were transported the serious smart crimes stayed in the UK and probably immigrated to NZ.
😂😂😂😂 knew it would happen 😁😂😂👹
Ball scratching if you ask me 😂😂😂

Very tasty RE.

I know what you mean but I am just not sure chrome would have looked right 🤔🤔 maybe😁 thanks CP 😁
Why RE is making strange strange looking bikes? 😮
Didn’t realise they did🤔 but if they are it’s probably because there are some strange people 😂😂 TaDa 😁
Seen these advertised on eBay for £25K 😂
Crazy isn’t it 😁 thanks AW 😁
A fool easily parted from his money.😅
