Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 holds a significant status in the Indian market among middle-weight cafe racers. The styling of the bike, combined with RE's legacy, acts as quite a magnet for young motorcycle enthusiasts. Probably, this is how it ended up with the popular gamer Soul Regaltos, and eventually got the Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal's attention. In a video clip shared on social media, the leg spinner can be seen checking out the bike and reacting to its exhaust note.
The video begins by showing Yuzvendra Chahal coming close to the bike, and he is then asked to rev up the bike. At first, he did that hesitantly, but eventually the roaring exhaust note managed to impress the cricketer. It is worth mentioning that the sound of the bike is different from the stock version because of an aftermarket exhaust.
