The motorcycle gets standard telescopic forks (41 mm) and twin shock absorbers at the front and rear respectively. 320 mm disc at the front and a 240 mm disc at the rear do the job of bringing the vehicle to a halt. ABS is standard on the motorcycle. Fuel tank capacity is 12.5-litres and the Continental GT 650 Twin tips the scales at 198 kgs (kerb weight).
