Royal Enfield revived the Continental GT name with the launch of a 535cc single in 2014. In addition to its classic styling and approachable size, it made for the marque’s most powerful offering at the time — 29hp @5,100rpm and 32.4lbft @4,000rpm.
Some three years later, Royal Enfield updated the model with a larger 650cc twin. Released alongside the more upright Interceptor 650 (INT650 here in the States), it boasted a more angular tank, clip-on handlebars and rearsets, and an optional solo seat to encourage a sportier riding position.
Output increased to 47hp and 38lb-ft of torque, making the bike much livelier through the twisties. As MCN found in its review, “But as I hop on board, thumb the starter, twist out a fruity thrumm from the willing twin and blart out of the car park, darting up and down through the gears with ease and dancing nimbly through the traffic, I’m already impressed. Within half-a-mile I’m completely at ease. Despite the ace bars and rearsets, the riding position isn’t at all extreme and, being relatively light, slim and all-round dinky means it’s also completely unintimidating and manageable. You really do just get on and ride.”
This example is VIN: ME3FPN475MK700495. The seller purchased the bike new from Speed City Cycle in Indianapolis, Indiana. He states that “It was my first motorcycle, and I loved riding it! Great bike, always gets compliments when I take it out. Unfortunately I just don’t ride much and it’s spending too much time sitting in the garage.”
The odometer shows 2,118 miles.
