Cafe racers are sporty looking bikes that ride reasonably aggressively and can be a bit uncomfortable on long trips. Styled as a cafe racer, the Continental GT 650 is built on a more modern platform. The debate among riders is whether it hits the right balance between style and comfort for long trips. There are those who say the slightly hunched riding position becomes tiring after a few hours, and those who say they can ride all day with no problems. It’s often discussed how good the bike’s suspension and comfortable the seat are. The debate is also there over whether touring requires aftermarket mods like different handlebars or seats. Enthusiasts often compare the long distance comfort of other modern cafe racers.
