Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 or the Interceptor 650? : Review : Sagar Sheldekar Official
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 08. 2024
- The Royal Enfield Continental GT 535 was unlike any other RE motorcycle we had seen before. It had all the componentry to back its cafe racer claim other than the engine which proved to be its weakest link. A record that Royal Enfield was keen on setting straight with their first ever 648cc parallel twin motor. And the figures looked promising enough for Sarge to don his race suit and hit his favourite mountain pass to test its mettle. But the ride review turned out to be a lot longer than expected as Sarge ventured further to explore the potential unlocked by its sibling, the Interceptor 650 where the Continental GT 650 came short.

I feel... Sagar's touches the heart of every biker.
Motorcycles are life
Absolutely correct
Any doubt
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial life is about " motorcycles".
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial
Love you bro same feeling
What makes Sarge special is the passion we see in his eyes while riding and talking about motorcycles is always so much more than what we see in ourselves..
Motorcycles are life~
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial ..and will always be.. Amen
Ok
Give him a tank he will corner it😂
😅
💯
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial plz do a review on Himalayan bs6 version
SAGAR GOAT SHELDEKAR….

This was the best review of the Continental GT ever! Simple, objective, honest. Thank you! Greetings from Brazil.
Camera Work , Location , Editing , Music , Talented Rider + Experienced Host ( Beautiful Content )

Hey, can you tell me what is the approximate maintenance cost of DC Avanti?

Die Hard fan of Sagar Bro, keep uploading videos plz, we just need one video a month totally satisfy with it...
Thats the plan. Lot more content coming your way.
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial more excited now😍😍😍
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial R15 V3 please. I want to buy one. I can proudly say, "Sagar has reviewed this bike. I've bought one."
Oggy Boy should have asked video weekly once you missed it now. Sarge's video make my day
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Thank you Sagar...Thank you Sagar...Thank you Sagar...tujhaa khoop mothaa fan aahe bhavaa
Whenever I watch this video I always wonder how the sofa reached that spot.

I shouldn’t say this, yet I am
Saying it, SS on Motorcycles is just like what Chris Harris was on Cars.
Cheers Mate.
Big fan of his!
was about to say the exact same thing!
Underrated comment!!! 😍😍
I think Chris Harris is Varun Painter and SS is Jeremy... Varun can't replace SS...
There were nights in my college days where the sweet symphony of the Daytona put me to sleep. That particular review of yours made me passionate about these machines. Now that i own a GT 650 i can totally relate to the grin you had while pulling the throttle. Its been one hell of a journey and thank you for inspiring people like me to be ambitious and be that kid who loves to hit the open roads, lean in corners and have fun in our otherwise mundane lives.
I feel we both agree that riding the GT is more fun than the INT. Damn this machine can lean in corners. I didn’t expect a knee drag but when I finally did, it was the most amazing feeling i had till date!
Once again thank you for bringing back those memories. Loved the review, keep inspiring.
Tisorp Neo sir any oil leaking issue have you faced on your bike?
@@irondreams8940 No issues as of now,,,
You sound totally like me, My dream bike always have been Daytona.Now Moto 2 765 edition came,was sooo happy to hear about it ,but still out of budget as it always have been. I am in my master right now and buying the GT 650 ,hope to have some good times with it ,will be recieving it around october. I love the GT but Daytona has a special place in my heart One day one of those 765 s.
Just booked gt today. How good is the handling? Bro is it nimble and good as r15?
update:- Got my GT ice queen , it is pretty darn heavy at low speeds about 10-20kmph , but when it goes above 35-40 which it does in about 2 or 3 sec it is soooo nimble.
Now THIS is the review of the twins I'd been hoping for since launch.
Crisp yet encompassing all the important stuff.
Sagar is in a league of his own.
Music to my ears. Hope you have subscribed
really nice argumented review, i'm watching from france and so far the best reviewer from india i watch. Here in France the GT is more sold then the interceptor
Glad you enjoyed it
And the old sarge is back!!
Very good job on the review... I have chosen the GT largely as a lifestyle cafe racer style. Just picking it up today. So looking forward to riding it...
Loving your video.Nice to see it getting a proper seeing to and in the rain.And youve got them filthy as well.Great stuff,no wimpy waiting for sunshine.Proper job👍
1:51 those throttle response😍
Crisp
My first motorcycle Duke 200 I showed your review video to my parents and bought it in 2012. Couldn't find your video but trusted my heart and mind and bought the Interceptor 650 and have been riding for 4500kms in 4 months. It's been a splendid and joyful experience!
Good to know!
Showing the viewers exactly how capable this platform can be in stock form! Fair play! You've gained a subscriber here 🤘
Beautiful content. The music transition from the GT to the interceptor was absolutely on point. I bet RE would love to use something like this in their commercials for the twins
This review is the one that made me buy GT 650 ! And this one review is so good that even after buying the bike i keep coming to watch it again and again ! 😍😍
Same here bro 🤣
So did you buy Royal Enfield Continental GT 650cc Cafe Racer or still watching like me
🤣🤣 I bought it in 2019.
@@guyonwheels6059 so how was your experience till date
Has been great, no regrets whatsoever ! Clocked 19000 kms and still counting ❤️❤️
Firstly, Thank you for getting back into motorcycle reviews! It feels awesome to see a 'drama'less review. A brilliant, to the point review as always. Also the videography and bg score is on point. Especially since i remember reading it was just two of you doing it. Looking forward to more content :D
Yep just the two of us doing what we love
Beautiful review sagar..the edit location everything..keep more comming..
Great very knowledgeable review, thank you, helped me make up my mind which one I should purchase.
The moment the Interceptor enters the frame with that soothing score running in the background. That particular moment has brought me here from time to time, it’s more of a therapy to me than a review video. All thanks to you, Sarge.
The best ever seen review of RE-TWINS
____ Love u Sagar Bhaiya...!!
Glad you liked it
Exhilarating beyond expectations. Don't even remember when was the last time I got, but this review brought up the strongest goosebumps ever. I just don't know how to express my feelings right now Sarge, but you are exceptional. I dare every automobile journalist out there now, can you even come a bit closer to the passion and vitality as this guy holds? Take my bow Sarge. You are the one man Army 🙌🏼👏🏻
Thank you paaji
True bro
Indeed :)
What a fine words you have put together which i was trying to..👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
@@SumeetShinde 😄😁
Superrbb Thumbnail,
That Drag me to watch your vid
Nice One😎
So this is what falling in love feels like
Yepsy
Best review on youtube by a mile... first time i have seen a gt scraping its pegs fantastic... sums things up beautifully.. job well done sir 😎
Feedback: your background score is too loud and it's really difficult to hear what you're sayin when you're on the bike. It's a great video but it needs better audio. Also please keep making videos, you're awesome.

Dont tell him wht to do. He is the best. So just. Keep silent ok.
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial That’s the rawness everyone enjoys the wind the exhaust. Dash footage doesn’t need to be that perfect .
Wow, kudos on the shots. Probably the best eye candy review of the RE twins to date, keep up the good work!
Thanks mate.
It's really amazing video.background music,visual and ur talking all are really nice. Keep it up brooii.
The best motorcycle reviewer in India and the crispy cinematic shots. Just awesome 👍👍
Wohoo
You just made my day 😀
The old days seem to be back♥️.. I wish I had subtitles while having onboard review just like in Daytona review
The rear brake reservoir cap is missing on the GT. How did u manage to ride it? was braking difficult with all the rain water an derbies going inside the reservoir?
Boy o boy you have really hit down a ball out of the park, From this technically quoted review of this beautiful machine.
We would like to see more from your end.
and being a UAV company would like to work with you on quite a few of the projects even at the utmost.
A matured continental GT, a matured video ♥️♥️
Woaaah!!!
Your voice and energy is already too amazing, gives goosebumps. Coupled that with such amazing visuals, is a treat, no less. :)
WIsh you luck man :)

This man has a class of his own. Started following powerdrift because of sarge's reviews. Your reviews are fun to watch and Informative! Just love your reviews! Please keep them coming.
On it! ✊🔥
Sarge! Back to doing what you do best! Nostalgic is your narration while riding, which I missed the most! Plus the editing is great! Can't wait for More!
Hope you have subscribed
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial ofcourse Sarge! From a long time!
The class of Sagar's video is so smooth, like I am getting bored, thought of re-watching Sag's motorcycle reviews......feels refreshing everytime!
Hey Sagar ! Great review ! Experienced all your points during my last ride on my int 650 from Kolkata to Chitrakoot falls in Chattisgarh. I did 1200kms in one day on the int and was amazed by the bike's performance. It made the journey of 2500kms in 3 days seem like cakewalk for me !
Good to know 🙏✌
As notification came "Sagar......" First I hit like with a smiling face watching my favorite bike n host both together 😘😘😘
Cheers bud
Same here brother
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial try to review low cc bikes too ..for more reach 😍😍
Same here
Appreciate the presentation, it's the the way a review should be, so professional.
Watching this video for the 4th time. My love for RE, 650 twins, your cinematography, detailed practical explanations, all came together to get me love this particular video so very much.
That's what a review should be like, there are too many lame videos out here, THIS IS one heck of a review, i love it. The passion, the fun he's having out there, makes it hard to pick one out.
its a "Thumbs up" and "Subscribe" for me.
Glad you enjoyed it bud. Hope you have subscribed
💯% 👍Subscribed
Bro which bike will you suggest for city rides like college etc
GT or interspector
Happy to see you and also your content back on CZcams
Cant wait for this lockdown to be behind us
Really awesome video. .. I watched it 4 times....like your video editing too.....well made
Wohoo. Do share the love by sharing it ahead :)
Damn! I fall in love with motorcycles a bit more everytime I see your love and passion for motorcycles in your videos. Haven't seen anyone in the reviewing industry with your level of love for the machines, with that also comes great and umatched narration.
Btw at 6:16 when the Interceptor came , the way music changed to represent calmness and composer, to give a relaxed and soothing vibe which represents Interceptor was amazing. The music was perfect and your voice did the rest. ♥
♥️ to the editor and the cinematographer.
That me and me again :P thanks!
Just gives goosebumps when you do a review! Good to see you back bro! Hope I would get more goosebumps in the future?
That's the plan! ✊🙏 hope you have subscribed
Man your videos are a hoot to watch. Awesome riding and fantastic cinematography. Hey, by the way, which place is this?
Lavasa
What a review brother amazing.. the one who shoot all this have better a future in film industry. Nice background music very good direction and a lovely presentation just wow.. keep doing well thank you..
Aravind is happy to hear that
somehow sagar finds tea anywhere and everywhere
Yeah, I think I'll got for the Continental GT 650.
I'm trying to make a purchase decision for the upcoming month. Can the rims be made to work tubelessly? Considering that everyone says how easy they are to fix... My old bike has traditional tyres and I know how much of a pain it is to get fixed, especially when you are trying to get somewhere.
Camera Work, Editing and Sound ...all bang on. Review was great as always. Cheers!!
Do share it ahead 🙏
Some of the best visual and scores to complement the videos...... hats off
Gld you liked it. Do share it ahead
Sagar you should do a video on how to do a touch knee scraping lean down.
I believe ur breath taking lean downs around the corners built up power drift to what it is today.
PD is not the same without you.
Hope you have subscribed here as well
Finally! I was waiting for 'The Sarge' review of the 650 twins ever since they debuted.
Hope it was worth the wait
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial oh it was sir :)
Good to see you back Sagar. Awesome comparison as usual....
Glad to hear that
I got the 2020 GT Dr. Mahem its a nice lil ripper on the twisties I'm gonna have to to get the Bore kit and really do some damage to the backroads! Sagar does a excellent job in his presentation .
PD became famous... Just because of you! Love you bro!!
nope.. because of their content and production and cinematography and after effects and narration.. and the list goes on.. Sagar had the edge on bikes but they were producing equally good 4 wheeled content..
@@cannotthinkofoneatth haveto disagree. Sagar was the soul of PD. After he left, they haven't recovered at all
well Shumi isnt bad either, sarge is a great rider but PD offers higher quality.
@Halpa Halpa While I partially agree, No one beats shumi when it comes to honest 2 wheeler reviews
Loved the review Sarge...
Try to upload the videos in higher res if possible 😁
Budget bro
Ah! What a review Sarge!!
I couldn't resist to watch in middle of busy office hours😊.. Review may be late but with typical Sarge's presentation and precise points makes to forget on that.. perfect gift for Sarge followers for Ganesha chaturthi 👍👍
Ganpati bappa morya
Awesome Sagar ,Keep ROCKING 👍Living it up, will have millions of viewers & subscribers ✌
Thanks bud
Really missed such videos of sagar from pd , the connection / disconnection he brings out between the man and the machine is simply incredible . Glad to see such videos
Happy to be doing what I love
This is what a professional review is!!❤️
hey Sagar, wonderful video mate! keep up the good work and cheers!
Thanks bud
Glad To See That you are back doing reviews. Really Wanted to have your take on the New RE Twins
You Are an Amazing person this is where you belong brother.
Thanks bud.
After the ride the GT tells Sarge
“They didn’t inform me at the assembly line that I would be hunting an apex🤷🏻♂️”😁
Yet another awesome video.
The voice quality could be better though.
Noted
The Interceptor was quite the surprise in this video. Loved it. Thanks for the fabulous review(s) Sir.
I missed you so much. Have not seen you in a video for over a year before today when I found out you have your own channel.
Nice reviews and I still remember your pd review on ktm 390 ,,superp
Hello Sagar,
I saw ur pd video on the Suzuki Gixxer/SF - Bought my 1st bike - SF
Then wanted an upgrade to bigger bikes - Saw ur old CBR 250R video - Bought the CBR.
now after seeing this video, I may buy an RE Interceptor in the future..
Thanks for rejuvenating the biker in me every time when I see one of ur videos :)
Keep the Awesome videos coming..
Happy to keep the fire burning! Ride safe
Sargent can make you fall for something you always hate...👍👍
Amazing Host with his surreal reviews...🔥
Btw Thumbnail 🤘👌
Thanks bud
Loved the video.. Please do keep making such more
That's the plan
And on the way to 100k. All the best buddy❤️
Probably the only person in the whole world to make us fall in love with any motorcycle just by his dialect,his style ,the verbiage of his reviews and am I missing something ¿¿ OhBoy OhBoy!!!!!! CORNERING damn yaa the Grand Master of Cornering like a glue to a tarmac.
Sagar I owe you man not just for guiding me through motorcycles, not just for great reviews and rides through mesmerising picturesque locations but to mend by adulthood by making me fall in love with motorcycles in my teenage.
I OWE YOU MAN .I OWE YOU A GREAT DEAL.
Sigh! With a heavy heart that I may not be able to even return your debt not even a fraction of it ever.
Love You SAGAR @SAGARSHELDEKAROFFICIAL
Keep on rewarding us with your tremendous videos with a humongous amount of efforts behind them.
God Bless You And The Biker Inside You.
An inspiration!!!!!
Appreciate the support 🙏
This video might have come late but it came with a bang ! A bang that other reviewers heard in their nightmare !
Glad you liked it bud
It was a long time since the Bullet 500 review on PD.
Good to see you Sergeant!!

@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Hit subscribe and then started watching the video Sarge XD
"The fuel gauge has a mind of it's own" reminded me of the old powerdrift video.
Only RE bike i love is Interceptor650 . Anyways Sagar Bhai again rocking review
It's been a while since I've seen such a good review and comparison of bikes. The way you narrated it makes it so good. Thanks for this informative video on the Twins. I know its been 4 years, but it still carries the same value.
Cheers. Hope you have subscribed
Exceptionally well shot ! And great explanation. Thank you
Hope it earned me your subscription ☺️
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial I subscribed even before completing the video man. 😆
amazing bike , beautiful location, and perfect host... would love to see more of upcoming video.. 😘😘
Cheers mate. Hope you have subscribed
As always, superb presentation and a hell of a video from Sarge.
But as an honest viewer, would like to point out a few niggles which could have been handled better by the backend (editing) team:
1. Audio mastering could have been better; that is the background music overpowers Sarge's voice, especially in the 1st half of the video which sounds a bit harsh.
(E.g.: @ 1:38 , 2:01 , 2:53 )
2. Sarge's voice should have been Close Captioned (hardcoded to the video) while he is talking while riding the bike, as the wind blast makes it a bit hard to listen to what he is saying.
3. Sarge's voice is getting clipped (might be too much gain perhaps) through 2:20 till 2:25.
Sorry to be nitpicking but I am commenting so elaborately just because I am a huge fan of Sarge and want the video to be perfect in all aspects. :)
Cheers!!!

@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Obvio bro how could i not...
SS : Reviews TVS XL HEAVYDUTY , with spot on cornering, drone shots, full of enthusiasm in his eyes and clear cut explanation of the machine..
US : With goosebumps and adrenaline rush, heads straight to the TVS showroom , and comes back with XL HEAVYDUTY broucher, wishing to own it someday...
PS. No negativity for the XL 100 though..
Reviewing an enfield like this.....just sagar sheldekar Thing.....🤩
It's that sweet twin man.
while the Daytona 675R review back in the days still remains the best and fresh in my mind, you just came back with something so close with as flawless as you are ever. Sarge is back...!!! :) Salute to your spirit of contribution to the motorcycle community man..
Happy to help
Loved how the esthetics of the video changed from the GT to the Interceptor. Wonderful!
Me too ☺️
