Continental GT 250
Royal Enfield developed a new machine
for the 1965 market, the 250 cc "Continental GT" based on
existing mechanicals. Prior to the 1964 Earls Court UK national motorcycle
exhibition in November, the factory arranged a long-distance run to demonstrate
the reliability of the machine from John o’ Groats in the north of
Scotland to Land’s end in Cornwall. With five road riders, pre-arranged
fuel stops and factory mechanical back up, the route was covered in 22 hours 20
minutes. A sixth rider was John Cooper, a road-racer who as a completed 8
laps of the Silverstone Grand Prix layout at race speeds.
The "Continental GT" was
the sportiest machine from Royal Enfield when it was launched in 2014 and is
reminiscent of the café racers of the 1960s, including the Enfield model from
1966. However, it is equipped with a 535 cm³ single-cylinder engine that
develops almost 21 kW (30 hp) at 5100 rpm. The John o ’Groats to Land’s End
route was also used with this model, and the construction again proved its
reliability.
The Continental engine is a block
engine - the crankshaft and gearbox are combined in one housing - and has
intake manifold injection; The alternator is on the right of the crank shaft,
the primary drive is on the left. The emission limits EURO 3 and 4 can be
complied with. It has a 90 mm stroke and 84 mm bore and achieves a maximum
torque of 44.0 Nm at a speed of 4000 rpm.
Continental GT 650
The Continental GT 650 alongside the Interceptor 650 was introduced in
November 2017. The Café racer has either a standard dual-seat or an
optional solo seat with a seat hump. The fuel tank is more angular than the
roadster's. Clip-on handlebars and rear-set pegs allow a sportier riding
position.
