Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 Spotted With Half-Fairing
Royal Enfield is testing a new motorcycle with a bigger engine.
The bike has a small cover around its round headlight, called a half-fairing.
It also has two exhaust pipes and two front brake discs.
Its engine is expected to be larger than the company’s current 648cc engine.
The new engine may produce about 50-55 horsepower and more than 60Nm of torque.
The motorcycle looks connected to a racing bike called the Continental GT-R 750.
Royal Enfield has not yet said what the production bike will be called.
Some reports say it could be shown at EICMA 2026 and later reach India.
A Royal Enfield 750cc cafe racer prototype was spotted testing in Chennai.
The test motorcycle features a half-fairing, twin exhausts and dual front disc brakes.
It is expected to use a new oil-cooled 750cc parallel-twin engine producing more than 60Nm of torque and around 50-55bhp.
The motorcycle may be related to Royal Enfield’s Continental GT-R 750 race prototype used in the 2026 GT Cup.
Royal Enfield has not confirmed the motorcycle’s name, specifications or launch date, though a debut at EICMA 2026 is expected by some reports.
