The Royal Enfield Continental GT is a name that Royal Enfield has used for cafe racer motorcycles in three eras. The first, the 250 cc Continental GT, was built by the original British company for the 1965 market and its reliability was shown on a long distance run from the north of Scotland to Cornwall that took 22 hours 20 minutes. The Indian manufacturer revived the name in the 2010s, first with the 535 cc single-cylinder Continental GT 535, launched in 2014 and now discontinued, which developed almost 21 kW and 44 Nm of torque. The Continental GT 650 followed in November 2017 alongside the Interceptor 650 and is the version still in production. It is powered by a 647.95 cc parallel twin cooled by air and oil, has a more angular fuel tank than the roadster, and clip-on handlebars and rear-set pegs for a sportier riding position, with either a dual seat or an optional solo seat with a hump.
