Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 or the Interceptor 650? : Review : Sagar Sheldekar Official
The Royal Enfield Continental GT 535 was unlike any other RE motorcycle we had seen before. It had all the componentry to back its cafe racer claim other than the engine which proved to be its weakest link. A record that Royal Enfield was keen on setting straight with their first ever 648cc parallel twin motor. And the figures looked promising enough for Sarge to don his race suit and hit his favourite mountain pass to test its mettle. But the ride review turned out to be a lot longer than expected as Sarge ventured further to explore the potential unlocked by its sibling, the Interceptor 650 where the Continental GT 650 came short.

There were nights in my college days where the sweet symphony of the Daytona put me to sleep. That particular review of yours made me passionate about these machines. Now that i own a GT 650 i can totally relate to the grin you had while pulling the throttle. Its been one hell of a journey and thank you for inspiring people like me to be ambitious and be that kid who loves to hit the open roads, lean in corners and have fun in our otherwise mundane lives. I feel we both agree that riding the GT is more fun than the INT. Damn this machine can lean in corners. I didn’t expect a knee drag but when I finally did, it was the most amazing feeling i had till date! Once again thank you for bringing back those memories. Loved the review, keep inspiring.

Haven't seen anyone in the reviewing industry with your level of love for the machines, with that also comes great and umatched narration. Btw at 6:16 when the Interceptor came , the way music changed to represent calmness and composer, to give a relaxed and soothing vibe which represents Interceptor was amazing. The music was perfect and your voice did the rest. ♥ ♥️ to the editor and the cinematographer.

Yeah, I think I'll got for the Continental GT 650. I'm trying to make a purchase decision for the upcoming month. Can the rims be made to work tubelessly? Considering that everyone says how easy they are to fix... My old bike has traditional tyres and I know how much of a pain it is to get fixed, especially when you are trying to get somewhere.
Watching this video for the 4th time. My love for RE, 650 twins, your cinematography, detailed practical explanations, all came together to get me love this particular video so very much.
And on the way to 100k. All the best buddy❤️

Best story ever told about a bike by the best storyteller ever Sagar Period 👏🏽👏🏽
As always, superb presentation and a hell of a video from Sarge. But as an honest viewer, would like to point out a few niggles which could have been handled better by the backend (editing) team: 1. Audio mastering could have been better; that is the background music overpowers Sarge's voice, especially in the 1st half of the video which sounds a bit harsh. (E.g.: @ 1:38 , 2:01 , 2:53 ) 2. Sarge's voice should have been Close Captioned (hardcoded to the video) while he is talking while riding the bike, as the wind blast makes it a bit hard to listen to what he is saying. 3. Sarge's voice is getting clipped (might be too much gain perhaps) through 2:20 till 2:25. Sorry to be nitpicking but I am commenting so elaborately just because I am a huge fan of Sarge and want the video to be perfect in all aspects. :) Cheers!!!
