The company claims that the Continental GT is their fastest production motorcycle. The GT's fuel injected 535cc mill makes 29.1PS/44Nm and is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The total fuel tank capacity is 13.5 litres and the motorcycle weighs a light (for an Enfield) 184kg with 90 per cent oil and fuel. This is also Royal Enfield's first cafe racer in nearly 60 years. As is the case with cafe racers, the GT has a low profile fuel tank with nice knee recesses. The seat is a flat unit with a bit of contour at the rear.
Customers can order the GT with a pillion seat as well. On the options list also is the very cool bar-end rear view mirror. The upswept exhaust though is standard and so are the Pirelli Sport Demon tyres and Brembo discs. Paioli twin-charged gas shockers at the rear and 41mm forks at the front comprise the suspension parts.
Expect Royal Enfield to price the Continental GT around the Rs 2.5 lakh mark.
