<p><strong>First year GT and what a ground-breaking bike it was!  RE’s first all-new bike since 1970, the little GT proved that Royal Enfield was prepared to mature, but never grow up.  At its heart, the 535cc overhead valve motor pumped out a healthy 27-ish HP – not really race ready, but good for a solid 70 mph all day long.  Brembo brakes and Paoli suspension gave a gleam of class, the all new chassis was developed by Harris Performance and the styling was totally on point.</strong></p><p><strong>This one was bought new here in 2014 and still wears its vintage (and sought after) first-year-only old-school Royal Enfield badging.  It is nearly stock with a few tasty exceptions: 7″ headlight conversion, up-tilted megaphone muffler (sounds soooo good!), and aluminum bar end mirrors.  It has also been fitted with a capacitor ignition so no need for a battery.  Just kick and go!  The tank shows a few small scratches (likely from a jacket zipper while racing from cafe’ to cafe’), but overall it is in excellent shape.  Just serviced and ready to ride!</strong></p>
