The Continental GT650 in Slipstream Blue brings together classic café-racer aesthetics and modern engineering. Its parallel twin 648 cc SOHC air/oil-cooled engine delivers a crisp ~47 bhp at 7,150 rpm and ~52.3 Nm of torque at 5,250 rpm, providing a robust mid-range punch with composure in city traffic and highway cruising.
With a 6-speed gearbox and slip & assist clutch, shifts are smooth and responsive. The bike features modern touches like an LED headlamp that stays true to retro styling while enhancing visibility. Braking is confident, thanks to its 320 mm front disc and 240 mm rear disc, both with ABS support for safety.
The suspension setup — 41 mm front forks and twin gas-charged shocks — balances agile handling with ride comfort, even on patchy roads. Dimensionally, the GT650 spans 2,119 mm in length, 745 mm wide, and 1,067 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 1,398 mm and ground clearance of 174 mm. Its fuel tank of 12.5 L, paired with an average of ~27 kmpl, assures a practical range for both Kolkata’s city runs and weekend adventures.
In Slipstream Blue, the bike gets a distinctive and elegant look — the blue hue adds a modern premium touch to the iconic café racer silhouette, making it stand out while retaining the heritage charm.
