HOW ABOUT A ROYAL ENFIELD CONTINENTAL GT 750 TWIN CYLINDER!
There has been a lot of talk going on about Royal Enfield working on a
750cc twin-cylinder engine. So here are a few spy shots of a Royal Enfield
motorcycle carrying the all-new engine which it has been testing for a while
now.
A few months ago, the same engine was also spotted on a Classic 500 that
had been modified to carry the new engine. This time around, the motorcycle on
which the engine is mounted is undoubtedly the Continental GT with minor
modifications. The length of the motorcycle has been revised so as to
accommodate the big engine. Of course, all of this is very crude and the final
product will see a lot of revisions.
The test-mule seen here appears to be equipped with carburetors instead
of fuel injectors. But this is something that will most likely change closer to
production to adhere to the newer, stricter emission norms, especially for
European markets.
RE wants to continue its dominance in the middle displacement segment
and the Royal Enfield 750cc bike will go a long way in its foray into the new
segment, as its previous largest engine based on displacement was the 535cc
single cylinder unit on the Continental GT.
Pricing will be competitive and that will be its edge in the Indian
market in taking on the classic Triumph lineup. But Royal Enfield also has a
deep trust and fan following in India, who have been clamoring for a larger
displacement RE bike. Current engines will also be suitably updated too, with
new bikes joining the lineup.
