Hello everyone, welcome back to Hai Trieu street
If we talk about a bike that many Vietnamese bikers love
Because it's strong and powerful
Or in other words, it's beautiful
Then we have to mention Cafe Racer
Personally, when I look back at 2012
I have started to see on the street
The bikes that are labeled Cafe Racer
From the GN125 or LA250
However, in recent years
We have started to see Cafe Racer ZIN bikes
From big brands
We don't have to talk too much
And next to me here is a bike like that
This is Continental GT650 from Royal Enfield
And this is also a bike that has received a lot of attention from the audience on Hai Trieu street
And I have had 2 days of experience with this guy
And how does it run?
Let's start!
First of all, I would like to thank Royal Enfield Vietnam
For supporting Hai Trieu street to make this review
The information about the Royal Enfield showroom
I will put a link in the description for you to refer
For example, if anyone is interested in buying this bike
You can refer to that information
And if possible, please support Royal Enfield Vietnam
Because if you support a lot, Hai Trieu street will have a lot of bikes to borrow
There is one thing I need to note to you
This is a demo bike
Royal Enfield has changed some things
Changed some toys for customers to try
I will talk about these in more detail later
And the first thing I want to talk about is the design of the bike
If we talk about the overall design of this bike
I can sum it up in a few words
It is quite compact, flexible, simple and classic
Many people call this bike a classic modern cafe racer
I think it's quite right
Because this bike is also modern in here
When we experience other models of Royal Enfield
For example, Classic 500 or Bullet 500
You can feel the modernity of this bike
And you can even feel that this bike has a higher quality of perfection
It's true
When I look at this bike, I also feel that it is more secure and more attractive
Compared to the Classic 500 I have experienced before
However, I think the modernity of this bike is quite low
And it is more classic when we look at the details
First, for example, we can look at the frame of the bike
It is also very classic
Next is the fuel tank
This fuel tank has quite a lot of lines
Like racing boy fuel tanks
From the Grand Prix from the 1960s in the UK
However, this fuel tank is designed a little bit differently
It is made thinner
And the valve here so that we can put our knees on the fuel tank
It is made thicker
This design may not be very racing
However, I think it is quite in line with the overall design of the bike
The classic, the classic
We can see the smaller details
For example, the chrome part of the headlight
The front light, the rear light
Up to the chandelier here
And up to the completion of the engine
Here we have a 648cc engine
And the angle is 270 degrees
Looking at the completion of this engine
We can see a lot of parts that have been molded
It looks very old
However, inside this Royal Enfield
There are some modifications, some changes
To fit the modern times
And how does it work?
I will share more about the experience of driving the bike
Another part in the design of the bike
I want to evaluate more
It is the saddle
This saddle has another option
It is the solo saddle
It looks better
It looks more like a cafe racer
However, I only have a solo saddle
I can only carry two people here
This solo saddle has both advantages and disadvantages
Its disadvantage is that its area is a bit small
So those who have a 3rd wheel that is a bit big
They may not find the comfort when driving this bike
However, this bike has a quite soft surface
When sitting, it also brings us a more comfortable feeling
It will not be too comfortable because the area is small
However, it can be compensated by the softness of this saddle
I have tested this both before and after
Both give very good feedback
However, the material of this saddle is a bit slippery
And when sitting, you can see that the front seat is a bit slanted
So that we can adjust the hip
It is not very high
And the fact that we slip out of the front will happen a lot
Especially when you are in a hurry
When you are in a hurry, the possibility is that you will hit the gas tank
It will be quite strong
So remember this
The height of this saddle is about 790mm
If I remember correctly
And this is my sitting posture
When sitting on this bike
The two legs are a bit slanted
And if you tilt one side, you can put both legs down
It is quite easy
I am 1.70m tall
No, no
I feel that the audience on Hai Trieu Street never believes that I am 1.70m tall
So from now on
I will be 1.69m tall
And for a 1.69m tall person like me
I see that using this bike is not too difficult
In general, Vietnamese people
About 1.65m
Can use this bike
If you sit on this bike and lower
It may be a bit difficult to stand
But in general, you can stand and use this bike
It is quite easy
People who are sitting on the bike
I also want to share about the sitting posture on this bike
It will definitely be a bit slanted
The true nature of Cafe Racer
However, there is one detail I noticed
At the bar, the handlebar of this bike
Right from the top of the bar
There will be a frame
To prevent the handlebars from going up
This will help increase the comfort
For sitting on this bike
However, it is not very useful
I don't find it very useful
In general, it is still quite slanted
And it is not too comfortable
To ride this bike on the long road
However, the uncomfortable frame
I do not judge it as a drawback
Because the nature of Cafe Racer
It was not born to run on the long road
It was born to run fast and run short
In addition, the structures on the bike
Will be built for the purpose of running fast
And also to handle in the street
And speaking of riding
I also want to evaluate the ability to operate
Of this Continental GT650
And I think we should start with the slogan of the bike
And I will start with the fun part first
As for my personal assessment
I think this Continental GT650
Will be very suitable for a bike
To go to a cafe on the weekend
Actually, this 650cc engine
With 2 cylinders
It gives me a feeling of running
It can be called quite light
Long range
Bring back a feeling of speed
It is not too jerky, too rough
We can control this bike
It can be quite easy
Royal Enfield itself also aims
This bike is entry-level
For new players
Anyone who is new to the Continental GT650
Can jump right on this bike
And get used to it very easily
Everything is not too difficult
Or this bike is too hard
The ability to speed up this bike
It makes it very smooth
And one more thing
This engine block
When I run it
It doesn't bring back a lot of tiredness
Like the Classic 500 or the Bullet 500
But the 1-cylinder engine block of Royal Enfield
It will bring back a fairly clear jerky
However, with the new engine block
2 cylinders set at 270 degrees
Its jerkyness
We can only feel it
We can feel it
But it doesn't make us tired
It doesn't make us uncomfortable
If we go a little faster
We can clearly feel
The image on this rearview mirror
It will be a little blurry
It's a little shaky
But looking back
This shakiness
It won't make us tired
When driving
However, there is a minus point
On this bike
I feel it is not really suitable
That is the front of the car
The front of the car feels a bit heavy
So when you go in the crowded street
I need a flexibility
A kind of swing
Hit it
Hit it back a little
It may be a bit of a loss
With this bike
If they can adjust
To make the feeling of driving
It's a little lighter
Then I will rate
This GT650 much higher
When I did the curve
With this bike
I realized that I had to use more force
To push the front of the car down
The feeling is not really flexible
The feeling is not really light
So if you want to go deeper
Go deeper
With this Continental GT650
Maybe we will need more skills
We will need more experience
And for new players
I do not advise you to do that
Because this bike is not suitable
In general
When we run
We enjoy
We run to go to the cafe
In the weekend
The Continental GT650
It will be very suitable
However, if it is true
About the nature of the cafe racer
It is not entirely like that
So we have to talk about the second V
In the slogan of the Continental GT650
That is a ton
At the end of the 1950s
Early 1960s
The cafe racers in the UK
Always have a goal
To achieve
That is to hit the ton
Or we can understand this
Is to touch a ball
Ah wrong, touch a ton, guys
So this slogan
We can understand
Their goal at that time
Is to reach 100 km per hour
That is about 160 km per hour
About this bike
It can hit the ton
But its feeling
It is not really comfortable like that
When I did some
Speed test on this bike
I realized that it was right
For the sentence
Want to be fast
So slowly guys
It can be fast
It can pull up to about
160 km per hour
But the time to do that
It's a bit long
And the feeling of the machine
It's a bit tight
Especially in the first lap
The number is about 1, 2, 3
However, if we have passed
About 5,000 laps per minute
When we reach the max torque
It's about 50 Nm
That's the exact number
I don't remember
This bike starts to bring us
A feeling of getting out
It starts to be stronger
However, in big cities
Such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh
To find a long way
So you can feel
The water of this bike
It's also quite difficult
So I rate
The speed of this bike
Is not high
In addition
The stability of the frame
I don't rate it very high
When you go at high speed
You start to feel the shake
The lack of stability of the bike
However, that doesn't mean
To blame this bike
Because if we look back in history
The first time
The ones made to become
Cafe Racer
It's not a fast bike
This bike is the same
And at that time
Our uncles
Had to put up a lot of things
And sometimes had to throw
A lot of things on this bike
To make the bike lighter
To run faster
This bike has a weight
208 kg
And with a 650 cc bike
I see this is a weight
It's not light
But it's not too heavy
In general
It has a neutral character
And with this weight
I think it's not born
For running fast
Evaluate a few more details
First is the fork
Here we will have a pair of forks
After that of Gabriel
Is a brand from India
This fork can be adjusted
Currently, I am at the level
Soft fork
To be able to go back in the street
Go through the holes
It's easier
It's true
The rebound ability
Of this fork
It responds quite well
When you go through the holes
Do not bring the rebound
Rebound to the handle
Or for example
The saddle
However, when we use this bike
To run a little faster
You should adjust it
Harder
To bring the stability
To the car
I kept the whole fork
To push the crab
I run fast
I see it a little bit
Next is the wheel
This wheel is also used
Pirelli
Excellent guys
Pirelli Sportcom
Before and after
Quite similar
On my Triumph Street Twin
I have evaluated this wheel
In general
Running on the street of Hanoi
It's pretty ok
Also quite on the road
You can run in the rain
Even wet
However, if we are more difficult
You can replace this wheel
The front and rear fenders of this bike
Are all used by Pirelli
And we will also have ABS
2 channels
Very modern
So about the performance
Of these two fenders
I think it's pretty good
In general
It's very smooth
It does not bring the rebound
The rebound
It's too much
However, if we talk about the performance
I hope it can do better
A little bit more
It's very good
Basically
It's still quite useful to me
Enough to run on the street
Enough to run fast
And rebound in time
But I hope
This bike
I still want to feel
It needs to eat a little more
It needs to be more delicious
A little more
It will be much better
And finally
I want to evaluate
That is about the temperature
As well as the fuel
Eat
Of this bike
About the temperature
I evaluate at the level of
Warm
Days like this
Hanoi also started to get hot
About 30 degrees
When I ran with this bike
Both on the road
And on the empty road
I see that
The temperature is not a problem
I can feel the warmth
From the heat
However, this warmth
Does not make me uncomfortable
This can be considered a plus
Because the temperature itself
This engine
Is the engine that cools the air
And only cools the oil
About the fuel consumption
I have tested this bike
For about 2 days
I can only give
An incorrect amount
I wish
This bike
It will eat
At the end of the 4th
Near the beginning of the 5th
Liters per 100km
With a 650cc engine
It is not the level of fuel saving
To be honest
However, recently
Fuel consumption is decreasing
So I think
It's still ok
Summarize a little bit
About the Royal Enfield
Continental GT 650
This bike
I think
This bike
I think
This bike
This Royal Enfield
Continental GT 650
The name is a bit long
With a price
About 200 million
Already out to sea
I evaluate
This is a bike model
Will bring back
The aesthetic value
For the user
It will bring us
A picture
It's beautiful
To be honest
A bike
Look both
There is a sharp edge
There is a strong edge
On this
It will make many people
Enthusiastic and eye-catching
And more
It also brings us
A normal driving experience
It is quite smooth
It is also very quiet
There are not too many things
Uncomfortable on this
I don't evaluate
Very high
This bike
Can run fast
Can run up to 150
160 km per hour
Of course
We should not do that
Because it will expose
A lot of weaknesses of the bike
Plus
The engine
It feels a bit close
Of course
I think Royal Enfield
They were born with this bike
Not to run fast
But I think
They want to bring back
The name
Continental GT
A very legendary cafe racer
Of Royal Enfield
Produced in 1964
But in general
I like the lightness
The quietness on this bike
Not too difficult to control
The rest
If I want to run fast
I don't need to ask too much
If I buy this bike
I will only use it
For a weekend coffee
To show off a little bit
And that is the evaluation
Of 2 million
For the Royal Enfield
Continental GT650
So what do you think
About this bike?
And do you think
It is worth
The price is about 200 million
Has gone to sea or not?
