What happens when you take one of India’s most beloved cafe racers and throw the retro rulebook straight out the window? You get Mean Green Customs’ jaw-dropping Cyberpunk build on the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 — a motorcycle that looks like it rolled off the set of Blade Runner 2049 and parked itself right in the middle of Mumbai traffic.
The Continental GT 650 has always been a customiser’s dream. Solid parallel-twin platform, clean lines, plenty of real estate to work with — it practically begs you to make it your own. Most builders lean into the vintage British cafe racer aesthetic, and honestly, that’s a safe bet. But Mean Green Customs decided safe was boring.
This build ditches the sepia-toned nostalgia entirely. In its place: neon-inspired graphics that pop hard, custom bodywork that sharpens the GT 650’s already aggressive silhouette, and an overall stance that sits lower and meaner than the stock machine. The result is a motorcycle that genuinely feels like something from another decade — except that decade hasn’t arrived yet.
Custom culture in India has been quietly levelling up for years. We’re no longer just wrapping stock bikes in matte black and calling it a day. Builders like Mean Green Customs are doing serious fabrication work, developing design languages that are uniquely Indian but globally competitive. Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore — the country’s custom scene is producing work that can hold its own against anything coming out of Europe or Southeast Asia.
The GT 650 as a base is particularly interesting because Royal Enfield has kept the platform accessible — spare parts availability is solid, the engine is bulletproof for daily use, and there’s a strong enough community that builders can find support when they need it. That combination of reliability and customisability is rare in this segment.
Futuristic, neon-drenched design has been bubbling through global motorcycle culture for a while now, spilling over from gaming, streetwear, and film. In a country where riders are getting younger and more design-literate every year, a build like this connects with an audience that didn’t grow up idolising 1960s Triumphs — and that’s completely fine. Motorcycle culture evolves, or it dies.
For riders who’ve been sitting on the fence about personalising their GT 650, this build should be a proper nudge. You don’t have to go full neon dystopia — even borrowing one element from a build this bold can transform how your machine looks and feels on the road.
First, the GT 650 remains one of the best platforms for custom work you can buy in India right now. Second, Mumbai’s custom scene deserves far more attention than it typically gets outside enthusiast circles. And third — and maybe most importantly — there are no rules anymore. Cafe racer, scrambler, cyberpunk street fighter, or something that doesn’t have a name yet? Build what excites you.
India’s roads are wild, the riding culture is wilder, and the builders are clearly ready to match that energy. Keep an eye on Mean Green Customs — if this Cyberpunk GT 650 is where they’re at right now, what comes next is going to be something else entirely.
