This is a nice way of reviewing a bike. Just a bike and a normal guy telling about it. No shitty music, no presenter who tries to act cool or funny, no special effects... just basic and pleasant to watch. Well done.

Nice looking bike just like the original. Duplex frame and decent alloy fork brace will help the handling too! I've seen a few vids about problems with this bike on you tube as well. I love the way they've made the mudguards, living in the UK.

I got to ride one of these, the Classic and the Hymalayan in Geelong (Nevermind Adventures) and loved it! Coming off my 1130 Benelli was so different as Mike explains it was the most fun I've had at the speed limit. Totally engaging!

Hi I have just bought a GT and I have to say after riding it for the last week I love it it handles great looks awesome and the first thing I did was get the rocket launcher exhaust off it and put a £80 chrome tail pipe from AEW called the wild boar on ebay uk now it sounds AWESOME and I cant stress that enough it's amazing so thanks for a great review and I hope this will convince people Royal Enfield is back and to get there hands in there pocket and buy a continental GT.

It's not really long stroke, at 87x90 it's almost square, the 350 is long stroke 70x90. It's no crotch rocket but for comparison it does have the same torque as a CB500R but over a much wider rev band. The speed you can go up a country lane is limited by the ample availability of solid scenery. I agree new Enfield riders always try to rev too high but the torque is down low.

My first video of yours. Lots of great information! It would’ve been nice to at least see you on the bike for size and placement and riding position perspective.
@JoshPostVlogs
@JoshPostVlogs 4 месяца назад
Great video. I’m looking at one of these in the US. A couple of questions, can this cruise at 120 kmh on the highway? I’m not into speed but might ride on highway trips from time to time so I’m curious if this can handle that? Also, is it possible/easy to put on new handlebars? I don’t care for the v-shape handlebars and would prefer putting on more standard bars.
@MikesMachines
@MikesMachines 4 месяца назад
From my experience it won't cruise at 120 kmh. Regarding the bars, you would need to change the top yoke to fit standard bars. All in all if you don't mind the extra weight the 650 Interceptor might be a better option for you.

Made in India=Great quality+ ruggedness to climb up Himalayas. Good for Indian roads where you barely go above 100 km/hr. Would've bought one in Canada for 9k but monthly insurance of 500$ is deal breaker hahaha

@MikesMachines
@MikesMachines 7 лет назад
The Gran Milano is the better sports bike with more power, and slightly better brakes. But I also like the GT Continental for its old world charm and very British '60s character. It really depends on what you are looking for in a bike.

History is repeating all over again, the Japanese bikes killed RE now RE returns and the Japanese have started producing or redesigning and releasing classics again, the problem with re has been improvisation and moving on to better technology and manufacturing process, their bikes rust and rattle overtime the bike just falls apart if that is addressed and better components are used and available if it reaches a higher reliability level even with a slightly higher price RE would kill it but then again i am not on the RE board.
