    Great video and scenery and a brilliant bike. I test rode a white Continental GT when they first came out and agree with all your comments, it is such an easy and enjoyable bike to ride. I have a few bikes but recently bought a Hunter 350 ....... another brilliant bike from RE. All the best, Phil (Somerset, UK)

    Looks like there is another RE fan on UA-cam! You're looking fit and healthy, I hope you are back to 100% again or was this before you were ill? Enjoy your "time-out" in sunny Teneriffe..., a place I have on my bucket list since seeing Freddie, and now you there. Have fun in the sun and ride safe, but don't forget Essex..., there are so many Potholes waiting to annoy you lol.

    Hey D, great to see you smiling and not shivering.Not jealous at all freezing our spuds off here in the UK.Granted the overall BHP of the 650 twins ain't huge,but any of the range (interceptor,conti gt,super meteor or shotgun and indeed any other future version) is guaranteed to make you happy.The amount of custom parts available makes a show stopper out of any one of them.Enjoy.

  • @hughmac7423
    @hughmac7423 Рік тому +1

    I like the blue back light on the dash. I have test ridden the 650, it is a very nice motorcycle, but I brought a 2022 Pan Am Special in March 2023, Army green version, and I love it. My other bikes are a hotted up 1988 Lowrider Sport with a sidecar, 1971 Honda CB500 track bike (bored to a 600) and a 1974 Yamaha DT400 trail bike stripped and modified for vintage motocross. I feel lucky to have 4 bikes, I also feel sad that I sold a Moto Guzzi Mark V Le Mans in 1990 and a Yamaha ZX550 in 1989. Should have kept them :)

    The Royal Enfield GT feels very similar to my Triumph Thruxton R ergonomically. It is a bike that I can ride all day without feeling cramped unlike my Triumph 1200 Speed Triple RR which I can only ride for 30 minutes tops before I have to get off. Personally I love the sporty stance but is not good if you want to buy something somewhere and bring it home if it won't fit in a backpack. It's just made for riding sporty and having fun. If I want to be really comfy I ride my Triumph 1200 GT Explorer.
    Another great video Lady! I love your relaxing channel. 👍👍

    It IS a looker for sure! I totally agree with you, regarding the nicest stock retro caferacer…. I saw it first time @ intermot in 2018 i was impressed.. regarding caferacers, As i own a original, BSA DBD 34 clubman ‘60, a Guzzi LeMans 1 and a husky Vitpilen 701 it does not fill a “gap” for me.. when they do add another 20 bhp to it, though, it could save me some space (one bike) in my garage/shed ;-)

    • @shaarodmahanta2473
      @shaarodmahanta2473 Рік тому

    • @Rider-EuropeanMotorcycles
      @Rider-EuropeanMotorcycles Рік тому

      @@shaarodmahanta2473 yeah i know.. we are mechanics ourselves.. TBH a 650cc engine with only 40 isch BHP is not a very “developed” engine IMHO. I tend to think there is reason for that.. second to that, buying a brand new bike who needs a aftermarket kit (and add 200cc) to get the power it should have (as a 650) in the first place, not for me….

    @jamesnoonan7450 4 місяці тому

    I have a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, I did a one week test on both the Interceptor and the Continetal GT before I decided as I love the looks of both bikes. Gotta say the GT is more about looks than actual ridability for me. I commute most days on my chosen bike. It's about a 20 - 25-minute ride to work. I'm 6ft 2, so fairly tall, and found the GT incredibly uncomftable. Seeing as I also enjoy long ride outs to visit family across the UK, it just didn't fit my needs. The Interceptor has a far more comtable riding position, and I can ride all day without issue. Your sort of leant for forward on the GT but not like a sports bike where its oddly comftable more just enough that your wrist and and back ache excessively.

    Hey I'm new to your channel Tomboy🤠
    i was searching for latest GT 650 reviews nd i found yours and really liked the video but I'd like to know; will it be difficult for someone residing nearby cross-country roads to own this spoke wheels version ? Or should i go for the alloy wheel version ?
    What's your take?

    • @tomboyabit
      @tomboyabit  Рік тому +1

      Hey, welcome to my channel. If honestly I’d personally choose the wheels purely by the looks on bikes like this. Cleaning might be a little more precision required but a part from that. I saw people riding a knuckle with a spokes harder that others on GS. 🤷🏼‍♀️
