In this comparison, Aakash Paul pits the modern, tech-heavy Aprilia Tuono 457 against the old-school charm and torque-rich Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 to find out which one makes more sense as your first big bike.

So, should you save money and go classic, or stretch your budget for tech and agility?
