Very nice video. I'm riding a Continental GT 650 since september 2019. My dealer asked me after a couple of weeks after the purchase, if I'm still happy with my choice. I replied: "When I'm going to the parking lot, and can't hide my grin, then I've made the right decision." ;-) And this lasts till now. After 16000 kms.
I use my GT as my daily commuter bike. You just need to get used to it. And it hardly takes a week or so. You can do everything with this bike, tour, everyday things. And it will always bring you a smile whenever you'll start the engine. Its the best bike ever.
I just found your channel today and I had to comment to say that I absolutely love the laidback tone of your videos and the back and forth with Monica. it's really impressive how you can be casual while still keeping high production value as most channels tend to lean one way or the other. I look forward to seeing your channel grow.
This is my first bike. Last summer I went to a triumph dealership because i love classic motorcycles and was looking for used Bonnevilles but in the small corner of that dealership was a small display of royal enfields. This caught my eye so I test rode it and fell in love with it(also the price was within budget brand new). This bike gets a lot of attention everywhere I go.
@@FreddieDobbs you are making me feel old they were everywhere here in Essex in the 80s. As a kid I always wanted one more than a Capri. Love the bike and the channel
I acquired my GT 650 Rocker Red here in Brazil, and even going through a vehicle price crisis, RE managed to maintain itself with a very attractive price. I had a CB 450 that I customized with a café racer. And when I saw Continental always presented in a mall, my eyes lit up! It was a matter of 1 month to sell my Yamah Nmax and buy it.😁
Freddie, that was probably the best video you have ever done, I enjoyed every second and laughed out loud many times. The Continental, particularly in that paint scheme, is a work of art and I agree it could be the best looking bike ever made. Your enthusiasm is totally infectious and you make me want to get on a plane and fly to Tenerife just to replicate your day out on the bike. I was in Gran Canaria in February and went out motorcycling for a day and can confirm the roads and scenery are simply ‘as good as it gets.’ As an added bonus, you found a very rare example of the first car I ever owned at the age of 17, Fiat 600D, the nostalgia was overwhelming and I will have to watch the video again to see that beautiful little car again. What a video Freddie and what a start to my Sunday morning! Major thanks to Monica of course for all the hard work behind the scenes and thank you both for one of the best channels on RUclips.
I have booked my Continental GT a few days ago and i am so so excited to get it soon. Took a test ride and absolutely loved how it pulls you in lower gears. Its gonna be my first bike.
Great video Freddie. Really enjoyed it. Can’t believe how well royal Enfield are doing. The quality and range of bikes is amazing Never forget going the bike show (NEC) about 15 years ago. People walking past the about 2 bullets with no interest..
@@FreddieDobbs 25,000 bikes sold yearly thirteen years ago to over a million sold yearly now, that may be one of the greatest jobs a new CEO has ever done in any industry.
@@deanfirnatine7814 I saw a video about their CEO he is a genuine motorcycle enthusiast. Makes a huge difference. He makes all his employees ride the bikes they build.
I’ve had my Continental GT (in Black Magic) for about 6 months, loved every second. I get excited every time I see it. The looks put a smile on my face without a fail. Freddie, this should be your next bike! Love your channel. Watched it for about the same time as having my bike. Keep up the great content! So good!
Freddie, your videos keep getting better and better, the commentary, the videography, the choice of music for this one, all on point. Monica and you are turning out top quality product. Royal Enfield should have you on a commission plan too! Always a good day when there's a new FD video on youtube. Keep up the great work!
Awesome video Freddie! I have an Interceptor 650 chrome here in NZ, beautiful bike, if I could afford a continental as well I would have one. Royal Enfield have really produced some outstanding bikes in the last few years!!!
I think the enthusiasm Eddie has for R.E on this video & HIS last 500 Classic video I think HE'LL have one in the garage.There is no better place to own one than on a island.
I just started watching your videos Freddie, and gosh I’m hooked! The writing, the cinematography, your charisma makes your channel just unbeatable! I can’t wait for what you will create in the future! Brilliant!!
I know it's been said already Freddie, but this really is your best video yet! Well done. The script writing was spot on; funny and informative, passionate and slick, all in equal measure. Monika's camera is also right on the mark. Can't wait for the next one.
Got mine a week ago. Absolutely beyond and over the joy. And looks gorgeous! Btw. that Opel/Vauxhall is the Manta (2nd Generation) of course. Greetings from Munich!
The comment about how the lower power bike gives a better lean angle and feel than the more powerful modern sports bike is an under rated and under appreciated point, I’m glad you mentioned that .
Such a well presented video, well done to you both.. You've said what I've also been saying about these modern retros, you can use more of the power more of the time rather than these super sport /naked's where you can soon get into trouble very quickly. Much more satisfying at the end of your ride.
Tell you what Freddie, as a 19 year old flirting with the idea of buying my first bigger bike, you don't half do a good job of convincing me either this or the Interceptor is the way to go! Only discovered this channel in the last few days but what a genuine character you seem. These are the kind of reviews you can trust because it all comes from the heart. Good effort Fella.
I have just stumbled across this review. As a new rider I'm soaking in as many bike reviews and videos and can safely say no one does a review like you Freddie! Hooked on the channel now!! Keep up the great work 👍
My favourite car when I was growing up, the open Manta. I knew I would never own a Mustang, as it happened I couldn't afford one of those either. Brilliant video as always, love your enthusiasm for bikes and cars, wish there were more people out there keeping the motor alive, they will miss it when it's gone.
Guys...gotta say..just love your channel. I'm smiling within a minute..and this one was laugh out loud!! The enthusiasm for any bike, cool old cars, scenery, good coffee...my only regret is that I binge watched and now don't have any back up vids!!😪 Cool bike, great vid. Thanks both. Stay safe. Ride safe. Love from NZ as always.
Nice one, Dude! I had my first Royal Rumble in a bar close to my place since 30 years just after picking up my GT and I don't regret a single punch. This bike gives you so much strength on and off-road, I fell like in my 20s again . Besides, the vauxhall ist an Opel Manta here in Germany & there's quite a good community for that car still.Enjoyed your video a lot. Stay safe and best regards from Bavaria ❣️
Awesome video Freddie, filled with laughs and love for the the RE Continental, best value for Money cafe racer out there and best looker 👀. When we met up for coffee we mentioned the IOM TT, I would highly recommend you go to the Classic TT 21st August 👌 don’t forget your comb 😂👍
Thanks for the vid, very scenic. I agree the bike looks great as it is. I dropped the clip ons an inch on mine, and turned them inwards a few degrees. It's actually more comfortable although you lose a bit of turning circle. 👍🇦🇺
Great video again. I had a white Opel Manta GTE IN THE 80’s a white one with white alloy wheels! 2.0 injection and couldn’t out drag the Corsa GTE at the time 😂😂. Looked the part though . Followed up by a Renault 5 GT turbo, now that was a car 👍🏻
It was absolutely fun watching you narrate the entire video, i completely agree with you on the feeling part, both these bikes are amazing.. loved you work.. subscribed.
I love my Royal Enfiled because obviously it’s a timeless classic and also it let’s me spend longer time on each bend compared to high revving modern bikes. Basically elongated fun part.
Damn, that intro is worth dying for. What a brilliant presentation and review. Gets even better as I've booked the Inty 650 and eagerly waiting for it to ride home.
Fun video Freddie. My Continental is a hoot. They are also an excellent base for personalisation. I have an old Honda CBF 600N which I use as an everyday bike and the Enfield as a weekend blast. (Just changed the pipes ) sounds special. My wife prefers riding pillion on the Honda over longer distances but is quite happy up to an hour or so on the Enfield. We both enjoy your channel. Many thanks.
I don’t think Royal Enfield themselves could have said it any better than this. This bike is beautiful in soo many ways. One can see how RE has preserved the true essence of a cafe racer. But I feel RE could have made the exhaust a bit better, not in terms of looks (they look gorgeous) but in terms of sound. This is a beast of a bike and the sound of these stock exhaust do not do justice to it’s presence on the road!
I was thinking of getting myself a Svartpilen 401 as my first bike next year. This video just turned me on into getting a Continental GT. Awesome job! Enjoyed every minute of it!
Loved this video. Traded my 2021 Interceptor 650 for a 2022 Ducati Multistrada V2S in December. Already missing my Royal Enfield. You are right about the RE GT and the Interceptor. You can feel like you are racing at legal speeds and have a “Ton” of fun. I do love my Ducati but to get that same feeling I am definitely above the legal speed limits. Wish I could have both bikes.
My favorite video of yours to date, classic off the cuff humour was a great touch for a bike review, and what a bike! Proper head turner the Continental GT. The mystery car was an Opel Manta GTE they also made a fastback coupe model. Great music too, keep up the good work guy's.
Been looking forward to this video. There is a Root Beer colour Royal Enfield just up the Crescent from my best friend’s home. Not sure what Model but when it’s in the sun it’s gorgeous. I love Monika’s laugh. Made my day.
@@FreddieDobbs Agreed 💯% I really like the “Old School” Royal Enfield you had on the Channel last week. I’m definitely watching for when those hit the Canadian Market
I definitely do not understand your culture or the past nostalgia you were describing but I definitely did enjoy watching this review and you definitely did took my imagination back to those black and white videos I've seen about street raceing. Lots of Love from India🥰
@Roark Bjorn How about you explain first I am sure it's would be over by the time I take leak. Indian culture can't be described to one maggot, need a whole group to explain culture as it is that vast, won't be spending energy on one dweeb
Wow, the best video ever and a great emotive description of the RE Continental GT650! I bought mine three years ago, and have done lots of mods. There are so many performance modifications and style changes available for this bike. And it retains its value so well. Each day when I take her out on my Idaho country roads to go to the grocery store for a sandwich I'm an Isle of Mann TT racer!
Hey so I’m really considering getting this bike cause I mean come on it’s just beautiful and I really love the cafe style, so what mods would you recommend?? Cause a couple of things I’ve heard that the bike should have is better suspension and brakes.
Would welcome a look at the new Royal Enfield SRAM 411 based on the Himalayan if you can get hold of one, sort of a poor man’s urban GS. Royal Enfield are knocking it out of the park at the moment, every day bikes for every day people!
I just got a 2022 interceptor a month ago and I absolutely love it. Such a fun bike, the ride feels effortless. Would it be wrong to have an interceptor and a continental?
The style, the class, Monica's giggles, the cinematography and of course the love letter for cars and bikes(a well written script). Subscribed 🇵🇭🇸🇦 P.S. I'm 6'0"ft. 200lbs. Great reference for me.
Steve McQueen is alive and living on Tenerife! Freddie, you absolutely get why Royal Enfield are such fun but when are you going to get one and which one will it be?
Oooooooh genuinely (and I really mean this)- every single bike in Enfield’s range I love and want to own. If I can pick two; Interceptor and Classic 350! But as the Interceptor’s so similar to my Bonneville, I’ll take the Classic! But… the Super Meteor’s out in a few months and I’d consider buying one of those too!🤩🏍👌🏻👌🏻
Love your enthusiasm Freddie, I honestly believe you will eventually be offered a TV slot. You can tell just how much you love motorcycles, and you do it in real style. I really love the continental gt, but I bought a Kawasaki w800 cafe for a couple of hunded pounds more than the RE. In my opinion ( and is just my opinion) the build quality is superior on the w800, and also being a air cooled, it feels more authentic to the old British bikes. Both 47bhp but kawasaki has a bit more torque.
Great video and I think you hit the nail squarely on the head with the point about the high powered fast bikes. Always more fun to ride slower bikes fast. Excellent, well done.
Great video. I really enjoy your presentation and editing style, very entertaining. I also felt similar excitement when I first saw a Manta GTE 35 years ago 🙂
I became so aggressive riding this bike that I started eating way too much sugar, I stopped in front of an innocent bloke on the street and in an aggressive voice said “Good day sir!!!” And rode away leaving him thoroughly confused and last but not least, I waited a whole year to comment on this video……….I need therapy 😊
I have just completed a really crappy 24 hour shift in hospital, this video was so good and funny that I had to watch and comment it, even though all I want to do is sleep. Just brilliant. Monicas' laughter was the icing on the cake. Have fun and ride safe.
Thank you for this. Nice video. You've just cemented my decision of getting one. Planning to get for my birthday this May. Thanks again and I love your channel. Cheers to you & Monica! 🥂
Wrong decision it lacks power and it is not super reliable get a homda cb1100 looks almost the same but even better, is faster, amazing reliability, bigger fuel tank for tours, beautiful sound, much better suspension and brakes. The Honda smashes it in every imaginable way
Thanks for the comment guys. I know what you meant. But looking for that old British motorcycle vibe and that price point. I love it. My friend got the CB1000R and for the H2, oh man.....in time. 😊✌️
My grandmother died on Saturday and on the Sunday I was looking through some of her old photos. There were some of her and grandad on a BSA in the 1950s, his slick back hair, leather jacket, her on the back. She was a fun lady.
Nice job Fred. For me the GT is more comfortable and def more engaging than the Int. At open road speed; wind blast takes all the weight off, and you don’t need to hang onto to the bars like you do with a sit up and beg position. Int owners are always putting windshields on for that reason, but the GT doesn’t need one.
You are the King of the Classics….keep it going….oh yeah - put the helmet on…Monica knows better…hahahah - nice job!!!….You are right…I have a new RnineT Scrambler…and so odd no fuel gauge…especially for the price….
Brilliant video. Blast from the past with the manta gte I had a black one in the 80s when I was but a lad 🤣 brings back some good memory’s. Keep them coming 🏍🏍🏍
I am from India and this costs Rs 3.5 lakh(million) (around 3510 pound) here, I'm surprised to see it costs nearly double outside, I'm 16 and this is my dream bike, being from an middle class family, 3 lakhs is a lot in Indian standards for most motorcyclists (Most motorcyclists ride 125-250 cc bikes which cost usually 70 thousand to 1 lakh in general, anything over 1.5lakh is considered premium), let alone for a student like me, but i guess if I work hard enough in life I'll make it one day
Thank you for the great video ! The royal Enfield continental GT is the best and most beautiful enfield on the market for me currently. You guys really did it justice :)
Besides the amazing review, Royal Enfield MUST hire Freddie as their model! He makes for a perfect model for classic bikes.
Yes. He sold me on the RE Meteor 350. I even got the fireball yellow. Everything he said about it is true.
Hey! WTF! Give some of us less attractive folks a shot. My contemplative side glance is stirring.
arey bhai yaha kaise, photoshop k sath ye bhi shauk hain kya.
Agree 😆
so glad to see you here master shifu!
35 years old, 6’ and 200lbs. I ride a GT during a pandemic and time of a recession paying $6 to fill my tank. No regrets.

Wow, the best video ever and a great emotive description of the RE Continental GT650! I bought mine three years ago, and have done lots of mods. There are so many performance modifications and style changes available for this bike. And it retains its value so well. Each day when I take her out on my Idaho country roads to go to the grocery store for a sandwich I'm an Isle of Mann TT racer!
Hey so I’m really considering getting this bike cause I mean come on it’s just beautiful and I really love the cafe style, so what mods would you recommend?? Cause a couple of things I’ve heard that the bike should have is better suspension and brakes.
Would welcome a look at the new Royal Enfield SRAM 411 based on the Himalayan if you can get hold of one, sort of a poor man’s urban GS. Royal Enfield are knocking it out of the park at the moment, every day bikes for every day people!
I must try this asap! Bang on Stuart; attainable bikes that the masses can aspire to🙂👌🏻
Stumbled across this channel and love the video, the genuinity envokes emotion for the bike and I love it! Keep up the good work both of you!
Freddie you're very charismatic! And Monika's editing skills are just on point! This is a winning duo!
I just got a 2022 interceptor a month ago and I absolutely love it. Such a fun bike, the ride feels effortless. Would it be wrong to have an interceptor and a continental?
I have the mk2 chrome version and want conti as well
The style, the class, Monica's giggles, the cinematography and of course the love letter for cars and bikes(a well written script). Subscribed 🇵🇭🇸🇦
P.S. I'm 6'0"ft. 200lbs. Great reference for me.
Why!?...... why did I just now find this channel!? The review style & feel is top notch. Wonderful work all round.
Most enjoyable reviews i have found in a long time. Great content and personality thanks and well done 👏
Steve McQueen is alive and living on Tenerife!
Freddie, you absolutely get why Royal Enfield are such fun but when are you going to get one and which one will it be?
Oooooooh genuinely (and I really mean this)- every single bike in Enfield’s range I love and want to own.
If I can pick two; Interceptor and Classic 350! But as the Interceptor’s so similar to my Bonneville, I’ll take the Classic!
But… the Super Meteor’s out in a few months and I’d consider buying one of those too!🤩🏍👌🏻👌🏻
Love your enthusiasm Freddie, I honestly believe you will eventually be offered a TV slot. You can tell just how much you love motorcycles, and you do it in real style.
I really love the continental gt, but I bought a Kawasaki w800 cafe for a couple of hunded pounds more than the RE. In my opinion ( and is just my opinion) the build quality is superior on the w800, and also being a air cooled, it feels more authentic to the old British bikes. Both 47bhp but kawasaki has a bit more torque.
I agree 100% with what you say. Freddie is the guvnor, the king of cool. Also agree with your comment re the w800
I love this, I must have watched it at least 3 times before, Freddie is a natural born actor! I love my Conti, loud wrapped pipes and bar end mirrors.
Nice one, good old Opel manta GT, I think this is my favourite colour of Royal Enfield, gorgeous bike...
You are absolutely hilarious and your excitement is contagious. Essentially I want to buy every bike you review. :) Keep rocking with style.
Great video and I think you hit the nail squarely on the head with the point about the high powered fast bikes. Always more fun to ride slower bikes fast. Excellent, well done.
1st time seeing one of your videos. . .this was alot of fun. Thank you for your efforts and quality during this video 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video. I really enjoy your presentation and editing style, very entertaining. I also felt similar excitement when I first saw a Manta GTE 35 years ago 🙂
Awesome video. I did take the Continental for a test ride and I thought it was great 😁 Didn't hit any barmen though 😂
It's about time Royal Enfield signed Freddie up as a brand ambassador.
Absolutely lovely review. I was so immersed that halfway through I even forgot this was a review.
Waking up with a hangover and seeing you have uploaded almost cured it!
I became so aggressive riding this bike that I started eating way too much sugar, I stopped in front of an innocent bloke on the street and in an aggressive voice said “Good day sir!!!” And rode away leaving him thoroughly confused and last but not least, I waited a whole year to comment on this video……….I need therapy 😊
The coolest motoblogger
That’s very kind of you!🙂
I have just completed a really crappy 24 hour shift in hospital, this video was so good and funny that I had to watch and comment it, even though all I want to do is sleep.
Just brilliant.
Monicas' laughter was the icing on the cake.
Have fun and ride safe.
Your videos are so relaxing and fun. Cheers Sir for bringing such an excellent content.
Thank you for this. Nice video. You've just cemented my decision of getting one. Planning to get for my birthday this May. Thanks again and I love your channel. Cheers to you & Monica! 🥂
Wrong decision it lacks power and it is not super reliable get a homda cb1100 looks almost the same but even better, is faster, amazing reliability, bigger fuel tank for tours, beautiful sound, much better suspension and brakes. The Honda smashes it in every imaginable way
@@everythinggaming7938 get a ninja H2 then
@@arthurherman1046 working on it with the dealership man. Wish me luck. ✌️
@@alexanderbryanchoa6989 good luck, bro
I hope you will enjoy it ❤️
Thanks for the comment guys. I know what you meant. But looking for that old British motorcycle vibe and that price point. I love it. My friend got the CB1000R and for the H2, oh man.....in time. 😊✌️
My grandmother died on Saturday and on the Sunday I was looking through some of her old photos. There were some of her and grandad on a BSA in the 1950s, his slick back hair, leather jacket, her on the back. She was a fun lady.
What a wonderful way to review a bike, pure emotion. 💯
Awesome video and awesome content thanks Freddie and Monika
Nice job Fred. For me the GT is more comfortable and def more engaging than the Int. At open road speed; wind blast takes all the weight off, and you don’t need to hang onto to the bars like you do with a sit up and beg position. Int owners are always putting windshields on for that reason, but the GT doesn’t need one.
You are the King of the Classics….keep it going….oh yeah - put the helmet on…Monica knows better…hahahah - nice job!!!….You are right…I have a new RnineT Scrambler…and so odd no fuel gauge…especially for the price….
What an absolutely cracking review. I enjoyed every second of that. Well done sir.
I'm not gay, but my lord that is a good looking man on a good looking motorcycle! 😂
Opel Manta quick car in its day
Thanks Richard- really stunning car!😍
Awesome stuff!! I think they just look stunning not even to mention the fact that they are so well priced!
Brilliant video. Blast from the past with the manta gte I had a black one in the 80s when I was but a lad 🤣 brings back some good memory’s. Keep them coming 🏍🏍🏍
Loved the look , biker jacket and boots with crisp white tee old school vibe🍻🍻
Thanks Akash, I tried to get into character as much as possible!🏍👌🏻
I am from India and this costs Rs 3.5 lakh(million) (around 3510 pound) here, I'm surprised to see it costs nearly double outside, I'm 16 and this is my dream bike, being from an middle class family, 3 lakhs is a lot in Indian standards for most motorcyclists (Most motorcyclists ride 125-250 cc bikes which cost usually 70 thousand to 1 lakh in general, anything over 1.5lakh is considered premium), let alone for a student like me, but i guess if I work hard enough in life I'll make it one day
A million is not a lakh, 10 lakhs is a million.
Bhai padh le maths acche se phele ...
10 lakhs = 1 million, dude.
Import taxes dude which increases price
Because it is manufactured in Chennai - India, its cheap here.
Thank you for the great video ! The royal Enfield continental GT is the best and most beautiful enfield on the market for me currently.
You guys really did it justice :)
I just bought mine a couple of weeks ago - have wanted one since it launched. Having a blast with it.
Monica’s giggles made this video. You lunatics made my day. You almost sold the bike to me.
Ride safe
