The biggest change is the engine. The Continental GT 650 Twin uses the same 648 cc parallel-twin motor as the Interceptor. The engine makes 47 bhp at 7,100 rpm and 52 Nm at 4,000 rpm and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-assist clutch. The engine gets a 270 degree firing order, which the company found to have the smoothest setup and feel. The engine is air-cooled, of course.

4. Accessories
Royal Enfield will also be offering a whole lot of modular accessories for the Continental GT 650 Twin. Some of them will be a lower clip-on handlebars, twin-seat, fly-screen and so on and so forth. These accessories will be inter-changeable between the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650.
5. Expected pricing
Royal Enfield has always priced its new models aggressively. With the company now moving to a brand new segment of motorcycles, expect the prices to be aggressive. Our guess would be around Rs. 4 lakh to Rs. 4.5 lakh.
What the CVS-Aetna deal means for the future of health care When drug company chief executive Heather Bresch was hauled in front of Congress last year to defend the high price of lifesaving EpiPens, she drew skeptical lawmakers' attention to a large poster board that blamed the skyrocketing price tag on a coterie of drug supply chain middlemen. Of EpiPen's $608 list price, her company, Mylan, received only $274, Bresch said. "What the patient is paying is not . . . coming back to Mylan," Bresch said. "And when we were speaking earlier of the people, the middlemen in the system, that's either the pharmacy benefit managers, retailers, wholesalers, insurers." That supply chain — rarely seen by most consumers — is the center of attention in the corporate world after CVS Health announced a $69 billion deal to buy Aetna, the nation's third-largest insurer. Familiar as a corner drugstore, CVS Health actually makes most of its money from one of t

In a new directive, the Trump administration has made it more difficult for the renewal of non-immigrant visas such as H-1B and L1, popular among Indian IT professionals, saying that the burden of proof lies on the applicant even when an extension is sought. Rescinding its more than 13-year-old policy, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services ( USCIS ) said that the burden of proof in establishing eligibility is, at all times, on the petitioner. USCIS said the previous memorandum of April 23, 2004 appeared to place this burden on this federal agency.
