ROYAL ENFIELD CONTINENTAL GT

THE NEW CAFE RACER BY ROYAL ENFIELD : CONTINENTAL GT

ROYAL ENFIELD launched the cafe racer styled CONTINENTAL GT 535 motorcycle in the United Kingdom. The motorcycle was launched at an ionic location, the ACE CAFE London, which was a riders hangout spot in 1960's.

THE CAFE CULTURE

The Riders (Rockers) during 1960's used to ride this monster getting to 100 miles per hour going on a burn- up which meant riding from one cafe to the next cafe and back before a song finished, playing on a jukebox.

THE BIKE 

The RE CONTINENTAL GT is the lightest, fastest, most powerful RE in production. A machine with a story. It is also a rebirth for the fading away culture- the cafe racer.

The bike is one of the finest Indian. It is more aggresive  than many of the bikes available in market.
