The twin cylinder Continental GT has been spotted testing a lot of times in Europe and now it’s finally been spotted testing on Indian Roads
The bike was probably being taken to the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) for testing and was trailing a Royal Enfield carrier truck with a Tamil Nadu license plate. This probably means that the bike was brought to Pune all the way from the Royal Enfield manufacturing plant in Chennai. The twin-cylinder engine on the bike is expected to be an oil-cooled unit similar to that on the Himalayan. As spotted in the earlier pictures, the bike uses a Clubman-styled handlebars, primarily for relaxed ergonomics compared to the conventional Continental GT.
The new bike gets a twin-pod instrument cluster with a digital screen on the left to display odometer, tripmeter and fuel level. It gets spoke wheels shod with Pirelli tyres. We expect the motorcycle to get an ABS system as standard. The motorcycle looks production ready and we are affirmative on the fact that Royal Enfield will display the motorcycle at the 2017 EICMA Expo in Milan, Italy and at the 2018 Auto Expo in Delhi, India. We expect it to carry a price tag of Rs 3.5 – 4 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and will face competition from Harley-Davidson Street 750.
