Design

The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 design takes inspiration from the iconic 60s Interceptor, with the essence of a quintessential British Roadster. The Interceptor 650 comes with clean lines, classic teardrop-shaped fuel tank, braced handlebars and diamond-quilt-patterned twin seats.

The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, on the other hand, offers a more cafe racer design. The motorcycle takes inspiration from the cafe culture of the 1950s and the original Continental GT 250 of the era.

The Continental GT 650 further comes with a sculpted fuel tank, weight-forward stance, rear-set footpegs and clip-on handlebars.
