Royal Enfield has been a renowned brand in the motorcycle industry for many years now. The brand is popular for its classic and vintage-inspired motorcycles that have a unique charm. In recent years, Royal Enfield has launched a series of 650cc motorcycles that have become quite popular among enthusiasts. In this blog, we will compare the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, Interceptor 650, and Continental GT 650 to see which one is better.

Design:

All three motorcycles share the same engine and chassis, but their designs are different. The Interceptor 650 is a classic roadster with a comfortable riding position and a retro design. The Continental GT 650, on the other hand, is a cafe racer-style motorcycle with clip-on handlebars and a sporty riding position. The Super Meteor 650 is a cruiser-style motorcycle with a relaxed riding position, swept-back handlebars, and forward-set footpegs. The Super Meteor 650 also has a larger fuel tank and a longer wheelbase than the other two motorcycles.

Performance:

All three motorcycles are powered by the same 648cc parallel-twin engine that produces 47 horsepower and 52 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and features fuel injection and liquid cooling. The Super Meteor 650 has a slightly different engine tuning that gives it a more relaxed and torquey performance. The Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 have a more rev-happy and sporty performance.

Handling:

The Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 have a similar handling feel with a sporty and agile character. The Super Meteor 650 has a more relaxed and comfortable riding position, making it a better choice for longer rides. The Super Meteor 650 also has a longer wheelbase and a heavier weight, which makes it more stable at high speeds.

Features:

All three motorcycles come with a similar set of features such as dual-channel ABS, slipper clutch, LED lighting, and a digital instrument cluster. The Super Meteor 650 also comes with a windscreen and pillion backrest as standard, making it more comfortable for passengers.
