If straight-line speed is your priority, the Continental GT 650 takes the lead. With 8 HP more than the Speed 400, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Speed 400 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 44kg less than the Continental GT 650, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Speed 400. Its seat height is 30mm lower than the Continental GT 650, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the continental-gt-650 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the speed400 if you want the alternative brand character.
