Royal Enfield launched the much-awaited Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 in the domestic market back in November 2018. The Chennai-based manufacturer did release both of its flagship models at a highly aggressive price range and as expected they have been well received among customers.

The premium motorcycle buyers wanting to own the entry-level Harley-Davidson models did consider the 650 Twins and most of them loved the duo for their no-frills package and a highly appreciable powertrain. From the word go, the parallel-twin engined motorcycles had gained good momentum in sales and to many people’s surprise, their sales numbers are still going strong every month.

While recording more than 1,000 units for the first time in a month in January 2019, the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 beat their competition by a huge margin and the domination has continued until now. They are powered by a 648 cc parallel twin-cylinder engine with air and oil cooling developed by UK-based Harris Performance.

Saurav Verma’s ‘KTM RC 390 SRV’ takes inspiration from the stance of a falcon KTM products are easily the best in India’s single-cylinder sports motorcycle category.
