Buying experience with re was highly interactive they treat customers as family and were really informative. From visiting showroom to getting the bike was very smooth and fun.With a plethora of bikes launching every year re has given Indian market an motorcycle to feel the true passion of motorcycling. 650 twin cylinder engine is absolutely refined and produces power when you need it ! riding posture gives the character a true cafe racer deserves. Other than the massive weight of bike which sometimes feels like a hassle to pull out of parking this motorcycle feels like feather when riding.Looks wise this bike deserves 10/10. Huge headlamp, visible engine and aggressive posture gives the retro look all the og motorcyclists crave for. 2 massive exhausts give the hefty look to this beast.Performance is amazing because of the twin cylinders in this machine which provide linear acceleration all the way through. Braking is excellent ! only thing which disappoints is the heavy clutch which leads to palm pain during traffic and sometimes motorcycle goes into false neutral while shifting from 1st to 2nd. Other than this motorcycle is absolutely delight to own.Service experience is good with re. 650 mammoth requires a lot of engine oil so service cost comes north of 1500. Motorcycle is easy to maintain.Pros:Performance - 47 hp at this price point is rare and delivery is on point.Looks - it doesn’t get any more retro than this.Braking - motorcycle has a shear amount of force to stop the moving 200kg beast.Posture - provides you the committed posture cafe racers require. Makes you feel alive.Mods - re has a lot of mods for this bike : single seat to bar end mirrors.Cons:1. Tubeless tyres - spoked wheels result in tubeless tyres so goodluck dragging this 200kg bike if you do get a puncture.2. Clutch feels heavy3. Broad tyres result in heavy handle bar while turning4. Posture too aggressive for some riders which might lead to back and wrist pain after long ridesOverall it doesn’t get better than this at this price point. If you’re looking for a retro motorcycle which can deliver power you want and looks you will fall in love with then surely go for this motorcycle.Re interceptor 650 is also an excellent option if you’re into long rides and touring.

I have been riding my gt for more than a year now and I have to say this is a head turner, The performance is best in the price range ,the riding posture takes some time to get used to but when it does there is no discomfort in riding. The mileage is decent and I get 21 in city 30 on highway. The bike does not feel like a royal Enfield at all.

I brought this bike 4 days back and to be honest I haven't checked the mileage yet and if you ask me the riding experience then it's awesome. it's so smooth and I have gone till 120 speed.it was very smooth, and it can go beyond 120 and if you love the bike then money doesn't matter to you. This is the most refined engine from the royal Enfield and the rider has to lean little bit because of the handle bars and the tank if you're 5 feet or above it won't be a problem for you and as it's a heavy engine it might require high maintenance and one issue for me was the engine gets heated very fast and your legs will feel the heat from the engine.

It's an amazing bike with great comfort and provide good riding experience. Also provide best balance on road. Even great for long tour best quality engines . What to say about looks as name suggest it's complete royal experience amazing eye catching design. When it move on road he is only the boss on road. Maintenance is also god don't cost too high compare to bike price. Easy maintenance. Fuel consumption is high but comparative to bike price it's ok.

Hey there ! I had booked my GT 650 bs6 custom in the month of march 2020 and got its delivery in may 2020 ! Buying experience wasn't so smooth due to covid !! But the bike , i must tell you is a bomb !! I've ridden 2022 km since i bought the bike and find it absolute a gem of a creation !! Initially in the first week of the purchase i faced a bit of back pain and wrist pain but it faded away once i got used to the bike at roughly after 150-200km of riding it !! Bow i can travel atleast 1000 km at a stretch without any hassle ! The looks of the bikes are just superb !! Perfect blend of sporty and old school !! Its a heritage motorcycle after-all !! Performance is top notch !! Whichever gear you are in , you need not downshift in order to overtake swiftly !! Such is the torque !! Pickup is almost instantaneous !! You need to really hold tight of the tank or else you will fall !!! I've had my first service by 500km and its really cheap to maintain !! Just 2500 rs !
Pros :-
1) Enough power for city and highway
2) Almost instantaneous pickup
3) Headturner , people on signals or stops are curious to know which bike it is !!
4) great cornering abilities !! Better than interceptor
5) really grippy tyres !!
6) Pretty good mileage in city and highway considering a 650cc engine !!
7) Too stylish to look at and is timeless
8) Sweet exhaust note .
9) adjustable rear suspension .
Cons :-
1) Aggressive riding position takes time to get used to !
2) Due to aggressive riding position , wrist and back pain are inevitable .
3) Due to dual exhaust , traffic filtering is a bit tough for rookies !
4) If the bike tilts in standstill position then it cant be dealt , you will surely encounter a fall !
5) Small fuel tank capacity !
6) Really heavy at 230 plus kg (wet weight)
7) Mirrors visibility isn't that great !! Blind spots are not visible .
8) Fogging issue in speedometer!!

The bike is awesome for riding...Good for daily use..And it is also good in look which attracts many people who love the bikes..And even the sound of the exhaust is good and smooth...But we should keep checking the handle parts occasionally..If we didn't it will wobble due to the scarcity of oil..Keep changing the oil after the ride of 3000 kilometers.

The price is worth it in this segment. The real machine. The twin-cylinder engine in this budget is more pocket friendly for riders. Stunning looks. But have to compromise the mileage... Although it's good. Enjoying the smooth and sexy ride.No one can beat this bike in this segment. Having this bike I'm a happy customer among the royal Enfield family. Love it.
