I finally got to test ride the Continental GT the other day! It only had 5 miles on it, so they didn't want me to really flog it or anything, but I was able to take it around town and throw it into a few city style sweepers. At idle, you can definitely see why they call singles 'thumpers'. Vibrated like a tiny Harley! The power of the engine was underwhelming, and this is the built up version of what the rest of the Enfield line rolls with. I might have been like 2" too tall for the bike, my knees kept hitting the tank just in front of the indention. The seat is firm, and the handlebars took a few miles to get used to, but not completely uncomfortable. Not a road trip bike, but probably a great get around town bike. It handles surprisingly well, but does get a bit jumpy in big turns when you hit dips or potholes. It is incredibly balanced, low speed maneuvers and creeping though traffic at less than 2mph is easy with both feet on the pegs. I didn't have any problems finding gears, but getting it into neutral was a pain. The gauges are easy to see and have digital odometer and fuel readouts. I got a lot of looks from drivers and pedestrians, the exhaust isn't loud but I guess I would equate it to being a bit louder than Triumph off road pipes. I liked it, had a nice sound, and a great look. Needs more power, not sure if a motor like that can be upgraded much, but it gets along fine enough as it. Overall, seems like a decent commuter bike, probably pretty fun on the weekends off on the backroads, but not much more than that. Basically like a vintage bike in that aspect.
