fter more than 50 years of manufacturing its 350-550cc Bullet singles
in Chennai, India, Royal Enfield has finally produced its long-awaited
first-ever parallel-twins.
The overhead-cam 650cc Continental GT and Interceptor (known in the U.S.
as the INT 650, since Honda owns the rights to the Interceptor name) are finally
