Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 Best Colours To Choose From

The wait is over… well almost. Royal Enfield has launched the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650 in the United States. Obviously, the India launch will follow suit soon. The bikes are expected to arrive in India around November. With its massive following, it's no surprise that Royal Enfield buyers will be queuing up at showrooms in droves for the two motorcycles.

The Interceptor 650 sports a California cruiser design while the Continental GT 650 will be the company's second foray into cafe racer territory after the Conti GT 535. If you happen to be interested in the latter and can't seem to decide what colour option to go with, here's our take on what colour the Continental GT 650 will look good in.

The Conti GT 650 will be offered in five colour options, which for some reason are named after 70’s comic book villains: Black Magic (metallic black), Ventura Blue (metallic blue), Mister Clean (chrome), Dr Mayhem (black and grey) and Ice Queen (metallic white).

Out of the five, the chrome-finished one is undoubtedly the one you should go for if grabbing all the eyeballs on the road on weekend rides is your primary goal. It accentuates the bike’s design even more, bringing out its unique look to the fore. Sure, it might be too outrageous for some but then again, cafe racers are meant to be noticed. Royal Enfield tells us that they are employing a special coating technique for the chrome finish. Considering the costs involved, we expect this variant to be priced higher than the rest here, but it will be worth it.

If we had to choose a runner-up, it’d be the be the Black and Grey (Dr Mayhem) dual-tone paint scheme, which looks beautifully distinct while not being too in-your-face. Out third choice would be the metallic white "Ice Queen" paint scheme. This colour not only helps the motorcycle win some nostalgia points but is also quite eye-catching.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...
