I dunno mate, I do see what you mean but back in the 1970's where nothing really came with a fairing that is what bikes looked like that had after market fairings. I love that sort of not really mean't to be look. It has all but died out as classic bikes are being restored back to original and all the old fairings binned. I suppose it is a bit like music tastes what you start with always sticks with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Got one minus the fairing. It is a pretty bike. It's what Mr Slowly used to have in Spain but he recently switched to a BMW F800 because over long distances it wears you out. It is very much a leisurely sunny Sunday afternoon bike. People constantly pull up along side it when it out n about to have a stare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsorts of aftermarket tat to bolt one to them and play with. I would love that, plus they do sound cool as hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Quote FULL FAIRING, 650 CONTINENTAL GT + 650 INTERCEPTOR This full fairing is based on the original Redditch built 250cc Continental GT fairing of the 1960’s. We are pleased to be able to offer a version for the Indian built 650 Continental GT. This has been designed and manufactured without compromise to get the finished look we wanted. Using complete new tooling we could pay special attention to the lines and rider position to realise an end result suitable for most riders. English made and supplied with stainless brackets and fixings. This will also fit the 650 Interceptor providing the standard handlebars are removed and replaced with clip-ons as detailed below. Note 1:The fairing requires repositioning of the clip-ons below the top yoke, however we would recommend the fitting of our specific GT clip-ons for better clearance, part 93052 listed in ''Related Items'' below. Bar end mirrors will also be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes there's a lot of tinkering to be had And it's an easy bike to work on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Unfortunately having a BMW out here now means if it breaks it's going to be a pain in the wotnot. The continental is like a meccano set 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I had a Thruxton R the year before I brought the Harley back from the states, it was a great day bike, I didn’t have the space for two bikes otherwise I would have kept it, if I had the space I would definitely have an RS. It also didn’t hurt that I sold it for more than I paid for it and I bought it used from the dealer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked longing at them as well, more spendy than a RE though, I would be less inclined to play around and tinker with it just because of it's value. But that may just be a problem in my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t need anything, surprisingly comfortable and the handling was sublime, I used to destroy sports bikes on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dare say, but I think part of my idea for a RE twin is using it like a large Meccano set and playing around with it. I don't know if it is everywhere but round here most sports bikers have loud end cans pull away like lunatics all revs and noise then wobble around the corners. Then get off and prance around in their power ranger suits, humps and scuffed knee pads when they got their knee down on a slow roundabout. Bit sad really. My scruffy mate with his Triumph Scrambler likes to show them up no problem. Entertaining to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
