Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

What you’ll like:

  • Perfect pricing, attracts both traditional customers and existing ‘superbike’ owners alike.
  • Smooth parallel twin engine with a very linear torque delivery. A ‘Bullet’ that can take on modern highways.
  • Excellent slip and assist clutch + 6 speed gearbox combination.
  • Nice exhaust note for a parallel twin motor.
  • Build quality is better than the old RE bikes. Well built for the price.

What you won’t:

  • Riding stance and also other new age improvements may not appeal to the traditional Enfield fans.
  • Bit heavy and wide for those upgrading from smaller machines – will take time getting used to.
  • Straight line stability and suspension not the best, but not a dealbreaker either.
  • Some elements follow retro styling more than function – the instrument cluster, headlamps, mirrors, spokes + tube tyres as examples.
  • If making heads turn with looks and sound is your thing – this one pretty much flies under the radar.
