Mean Green Customs has given the Continental GT 650 a futuristic makeover with neon-inspired graphics, custom bodywork and a more aggressive stance
The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is already one of the easiest modern classics to customise, but this particular build takes the motorcycle in a very different direction. Built by Mumbai-based Mean Green Customs, the motorcycle, aptly named Cyberpunk, moves away from the usual retro or cafe racer treatment and instead mixes the GT’s classic proportions with a futuristic, almost sci-fi visual theme. Mean Green Customs has been creating bespoke motorcycles since 2013, with its work covering fabrication, metal shaping, custom paint and detailed one-off builds.
The first thing that grabs your attention is the black-and-silver colour scheme, contrasted by a set of sharp red, pink and purple graphics running across the fuel tank and rear cowl. The graphics have a distinctly 1980s and 1990s futuristic feel, but the execution is clean enough that the motorcycle doesn’t end up looking cartoonish. It is more Blade Runner than comic book.
Mean Green has also reworked the GT’s bodywork without destroying its basic identity. The stock rear section has been replaced with a shorter, more muscular tail and a custom rear cowl with integrated LED lighting. The transparent-looking tank shrouds are another interesting touch, adding depth to the otherwise clean tank design. The result is a motorcycle that looks sharper and more mechanical from almost every angle.
Up front, the changes are equally dramatic. The conventional headlamp has made way for a custom 12-LED unit, while the lighting package is kept deliberately compact. The bike also gets a set of chunky, almost scrambler-like tyres that give the GT a more planted appearance. Beneath the engine sits a custom belly pan, adding some visual bulk to the lower section without making the motorcycle look unnecessarily heavy.
The riding position has been sharpened as well. Clip-on handlebars retain the Continental GT’s cafe racer character, while the shortened rear section and revised proportions make the motorcycle look considerably more compact. At the back, the twin high-mounted exhausts are perhaps the most dramatic mechanical-looking element of the build. They work particularly well with the futuristic styling and give the motorcycle a far more aggressive silhouette.
Mean Green hasn’t stopped at cosmetics either. The build reportedly gets a BMC air filter and custom ECU tuning, along with the bespoke exhaust system. The underlying engine remains Royal Enfield’s 648 cc parallel-twin, though the exact output of this customised motorcycle hasn’t been disclosed. The standard Continental GT 650 produces around 47 PS and 52 Nm.
