ROYAL Enfield’s new Continental GT will go on sale in the UK next month, the firm has said.

Royal Enfield says it hopes the £5,200 Continental GT will create a new market for mide-sized café racers.

Based on the 1965 Royal Enfield Continental GT, it uses the same single-cylinder air-cooled engine as other models in the range but upgraded from 499cc to 535cc. The result is slightly more power and torque, at 29.1bhp and 32.4lbft.

Siddhartha Lal, MD and CEO of Royal Enfield's parent company, Eicher Motors Ltd, said: “The all-new Continental GT is the right product at the right time with interest in café racers rising across the world. We are confident that with this product we will create a new segment in mid-size motorcycling, with bikes that are holistic in their approach, and are great fun to ride in cities and on B-roads and adequately adept for motorways too.”
