The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is a Neo-retro Café Racer motorcycle produced by Royal Enfield (India). The first model to use the name, the Continental GT 250, was produced by the original Royal Enfield in the 1960s UK. The name was revived by the Indian manufacturer in the 2010s with the Continental GT 535 (now discontinued) and Continental GT 650.

Royal Enfield (the original UK company) developed a new machine for the 1965 market, the 250 cc "Continental GT" based on existing mechanicals. Prior to the 1964 Earls Court UK national motorcycle exhibition in November, the factory arranged a long-distance run to demonstrate the reliability of the machine from John o' Groats in the north of Scotland to Land's End in Cornwall. With five road riders, pre-arranged fuel stops and factory mechanical back up, the route was covered in 22 hours 20 minutes. A sixth rider was John Cooper, a road-racer who completed 8 laps of the Silverstone Grand Prix layout at race speeds.[1][2]
