Looks and Colour Options 10

You won't be dissatisfied with the motorcycle's lighting performance even on the roads because it provides adequate illuminating power. The handlebars of the motorbike are facing the rider because it is a cafe racer, and because it is a throwback motorcycle, it has rear-view mirrors with chrome accents, which look great.

Again, as it is a cafe racer, the Continental GT 650 gets a single-piece seat with a seat cowl. The unique seat of the motorcycle adds to its visual appeal. The motorcycle gets an abundance of chrome on the body parts like the engine casing, mudguards and chrome-finished dual exhausts of the motorcycle look really cool. At the rear, it gets a rectangle-shaped halogen tail lamp. The new Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 BS6 is currently offered in five different colour variants. They are British Racing Green, DUX Deluxe, Mr Clean, Rocker Red, Ventura Storm.
