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.
