Royal Enfield's Continental GT is the most special motorcycle to leave these famous factory doors in a very long time. A café racer painstakingly re-created by Royal Enfield to match similar, sporty looking British bikes of the 1960’s, the GT is built with a keen eye for attention-to-detail.
 
The Royal Enfield's Continental GT classic round headlight sits surrounded by alloy steering braces and clip-on bars. Other rider controls include good quality palm grips, as well as comfortable to touch, buffed alloy clutch and brake levers. 
 
Royal Enfield offer superbly crafted after market bar-end mounted mirrors for the GT, which we recommend for their solid construction and functional value, despite their really petite size.
 
The Royal Enfield Continental GT fuel-tank is tastefully adorned with a classic font company logo, and equipped with a beautifully sculpted, flip-to-open filler cap. There’s a single saddle (dual seat available as optional), with smart red stitching and humped tail section. Those with a keen eye will admire the GT’s alloy wheel rims. The GT comes with a flowing, chromed exhaust, and sporty looking exposed drive chain.
