The Royal Enfield 650 Twins took the market by storm when they were first introduced. The Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT changed many people’s perception of Royal Enfield as a manufacturer. The Continental GT 650 is a direct replacement for the Continental GT 535, which has become very popular these days. Here is a GT 650 that has been fairly extensively modified by Neev Motorcycles.
The Continental GT 650 now gets a new paint job of gray body panels, while the rest of the motorcycle gets a blacked out paint job. To give the motorcycle a cafe racer look, the tail was shortened and a rear wing was installed.
Then there are other changes to enhance the look. For example, a new seat and cowling replace the stock seat. The instrument cluster has been relocated to the right, just below the fuel tank. The headlight clips and license plate are also new. A new set of side panels were installed, along with new front and rear fenders and tank ties. The clip-on handlebars and triple tree are also new and CNC cut.
The engine has been retuned, and there’s also a new exhaust.
Other changes to the build include a new set of handles, an LED headlight, taillights and turn indicators, a new exhaust muffler and side mirrors. The engine is now painted with heat-resistant paint. Speaking of the engine, it’s been retuned and there’s a new exhaust.
