Looks real sweet! Just wondering when they will upgrade the instrumentation of the GT and Inter as per the Super Meteor and Shotgun. Hope they give those 2 slightly more updated instrumentation.

The new cluster on the Himalayan 450 on the GT and Interceptor would look sweet.

Different views on the Continental GT.

1) Simple upgrades and ride as is

2) Full suspension upgrade till it feels like a Thruxton (review by Yammie Noob)

How would you do up your Continental GT? Or just leave it as it is as when leaving the showroom?

Brakes and suspension will cost more, and the return of investment are usually intangible things like comfort and confidence.
suspension is usually a must - at least a thicker fork oil, or full internals/cartridge. Revalved shock, or aftermarket shock.

cafe racer can see cannot ride, my reasoning are, very low clip-ons, some fuel tanks not designed for rider support, seat not sufficient rider support

cafe racer is like taking a naked/street bike to mod become a naked sportsbike, then maybe adding an Imola styled cowling
then, another type, using pure sportsbike remove the plastics, and become streetfighter

The RE bikes out the factory got the cafe racer looks without the cafe racer discomfort, unless you change the bars to even lower clip ons.

For those who don't like cafe racers, well, I have no problem riding my SV650X for long distances (I just didn't like the handling). Royal Enfield has this version of their 650 coming soon. The Scambler version. I think it's gonna be too heavy for 47hp but have a look at this...(there's a video in the link...photographer probably pissed off the test rider! biggrin.gif )

They're no longer at Gasket Alley by the way. RE and Harley are I think still temporarily in the corridors of Motorplex (next to Gasket, where Vespa is) until their new showrooms are ready. I might drop by this Saturday to cuci mata on the bikes. I like the Conti GT even more now that it has LED lights, a USB charger and alloy wheels.

Unfortunately the upgraded Conti GT and Interceptor only comes in 2 colours. Here's hoping that 2024 will bring in more colours and hopefully also, upgraded instrumentation to be more in line with the Super Meteor and the Shotgun.
