Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Review

Riderboy's Journey for 2019 starts with Interceptor review after a long break. After RE announced a motorcycle with a twin engine for the first time, I was very keen to test the machine. I finally got a chance to ride the Interceptor for about 200km.


The look and feel of the bike is just amazing. I can describe it as a retro and simple looking machine with clean lines. It draws attention from everyone.

As soon as I mounted on the bike, I felt very comfortable. The Interceptor felt like a machine that was created just for me. I started the engine and surprisingly it sounded like a Triumph Bonnie. 



I decided to ride the Interceptor to Krishnagiri, which is about 100 kms from Bengaluru. The motorcycle engine felt like a well refined one and it was also very smooth without any vibrations. 



This is how happy i was after riding the machine for 100 kms.... 

We must truly applaud RE’s effort for getting an amazing super bike with unbelievable pricing into the market.





Conclusion:

After test riding the Interceptor for almost 200 kms+, below are few of my observations:

Good :

1. The Interceptor has a simple and good looking design.
2. The engine has very good power and refinement.
3. Very smooth, no vibrations like other RE motorcycles.
4. Awesome brakes to stop the vehicle.
5. Countless options for accessories.
6. Best Budget for a super bike in the market.
7. The build quality of the Interceptor is very good.
8. The motorcycle felt like riding a Triumph Bonneville.

Bad (Issues to resolve):

1. The foot pegs for the pillion are very high and uncomfortable.
2. The Speedometer vibrates above the speed of 100 kms/hr and is not accurate.
3. The bike was drifting and not stable, making it difficult to control at the speeds of 130 to 140 kmph.
4. The Fuel gauge is still not accurate as the Thunderbird.
5. The Handle bar needs to be raised to sit in the laid back position for long rides.
6. No tubeless tires and no LED lights.

Adios.....Until the next One....
Riderboy's Journey Continues.......
