Enfield Continental GT
 

Had a pretty good review in Ride mag this month. I think it's a very nice looking motorcycle. 3 year warranty too.

But has it got a USB socket? :-)

Nope, and no ride by wire/engine modes/cruise control/traction control/electronic @r5ewipe/nosepicker/satnav/stereo. Thankfully....

Nice colour scheme names! I quite like the Dr Mayhem model.

Re: Enfield Continental GT
 

Really like this bike, both the GT and Interceptor versions.
There's plenty very positive first ride reviews on the interweb from the launch event in California.
This could be my next bike, but I'll be waiting a while to see how the reliability shapes up.
Hopefully reliability will be similarly superior to the singles as the rest of the package appears to be.

(that +ve enough for you Seeker? :cool:)

Re: Enfield Continental GT
 

I'm already thinking about modifying one, there are mudguard extenders for both front and rear as factory options.
There's elements of each of the two versions I would like to combine, prefer the GT but would want normal bars rather than the clip-ons.
Not keen on the big trail bike bars on the Interceptor.

Also prefer the silver wheel option.

i suppose if you want lineage then RE are the oldest still in production motorcycle company in the world.

the Indians love their RE's just like the yanks love their HD's.

when RE ceased production in the UK all the tooling was shipped over to India. the RE never progressed much design wise until recently and if you want a true modern classic then look no further.

personally i would like one but not as my main bike and if it was a choice between the RE650CGT or an SV i would take the SV every time. depending on the price new i would prefer an old 50-60's classic.

Re: Enfield Continental GT
 

I rather like those. The Interceptor is a bit more my cup of tea but alas the nearest dealer is a long way away.

Re: Enfield Continental GT
 

at £6499 i would rather have an SV650 even the interceptor at £5499 cant beat the SV.
