Today we will tell you in detail about this great cafe racer which is one of the most popular retro-sports bikes in India.
Engine
The heart of the Continental GT 650 is its 648cc air-cooled parallel twin engine that produces a powerful power of 47 horsepower. This engine gives you the thrill you expect from a sports bike. When you start this bike, its sound itself tells you that this is no ordinary bike. The most special thing about this engine is its power delivery. This bike gives so much torque at low RPM that you will never have trouble even in traffic. The 6-speed gearbox works smooth like butter and the bike performs brilliantly in every gear.
Design
The biggest feature of this bike is its authentic cafe racer design. This design is inspired by the cafe racer bikes of the 1960s that racers used to race from cafe to cafe.
