41 mm front fork, 110 mm travel (with optional fork gators) Suspension Rear The Royal Enfield Continental GT is a Neo-retro Café Racer motorcycle produced by Royal Enfield (India).

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.
