        It's smoothing and great but a bit heavy. It's very reliable and comfortable and also has a great pick up n also does not have any vibration. It's good to have one.

        Hi all, I recently bought the GT 650. I was wondering if this machine really belongs to the RE family or was produced from some other platform. Seriously guys, this is a mad machine. You people really enjoy the ride from the bottom of your hearts, excellent build quality, features that have come with amazing, and the riding position is really aggressive, and you feel the sporty look.
