The report adds that the Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 was spotted by the publication recently in the UK. The bike was in production-ready form, but no new pictures have been shared. The exhaust note from the twin canisters has been called as ‘throaty’ with a 270-degree crank.

Unlike its prime competition, the Harley-Davidson Street 750, the Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 gets an air-cooled mill assisted by an oil-cooler. This will make it more cost effective than liquid-cooling. The bike is expected to have 17-inch rims with a 120 section tyre up front and a 160 section in the rear.
