6000 Mile Royal Enfield Interceptor Review | London to Bosnia | EP 24

Oh and I forgot to mention... 38 degree heat, no issue. I'm not talking technicalities or specifications - these are just my honest feelings about the Interceptor 650 after having ridden it 6,000 miles. It's a beautiful, reliable bike, easy to customise, and handles like a dream... its been so much fun on both the mountain passes and gravel roads alike.

Being an owner of Classic 350 of Royal enfield for 8 years now I totally endorse your feelings and comments about this piece of machine. Definitely want to have one interceptor in my garage.

[@Papanchasonline]

@@MuddassirIqbalsk 🤘🏻 hell yeah. A classic 350 sounds beautiful

[@Richz2]

I love to see these bikes actually being used.So often we hear that it's a 'summer' bike or you can't go off-road. Well done you for doing it and travelling Europe. 650c is okay, it's so much more than that. Looking forward to see whats next.

[@Papanchasonline]

Thank you for coming by Rich. We are having some fun that’s for sure! It’s been a fantastic bike. Plenty more to come!

[@interceptorjourney]

Open and true comments to this motorcycle - i like to confirm 100% (I have now ridden 47K on the same model in 3 years, which cannot be replicated with every motorcycle) Have a good trip, I'm looking forward to more videos 😀🤜🤛

[@Papanchasonline]

@@interceptorjourney 47k! That’s a real confirmation. Rock on man! I’ve got much more to come, thanks for the support 🤘🏻

[@interceptorjourney]

@@Papanchasonline uups, i need to correct ...i'm talking about km, not miles like you've talked about ;-)...but anyway, it's still longer as from home to the church🙂

[@litmuesli6490]

Thank you for this video, I am planning to do my first tour through Europe next summer, so hearing that they are brilliant tourers fills me with confidence.

[@Papanchasonline]

Oh absolutely no worries at all! Thanks for coming by the channel. It's been great. If anything goes wrong you will see it here haha.

[@bgutts13]

Dude, i've got a int650 too, and I've got the same feeling that you told you have when I'm on this bike!! love you videos! keep going man!

[@Papanchasonline]

Thanks man! Still going, plenty more to come on here!

[@Stefan_trekkie]

People travel the world on 125s .. It's how and where you want to ride. Marvelous bike overall .. One advice for a future dirt orientated bike... The weight and suspension travel are kings there, don't overdue it with big heavy adv bike.

[@Papanchasonline]

For sure man, I’m looking at the 300 rally right now the dirt… wet shall see. Still halfway across Europe on this beauty

[@galk32]

This is true, I have had trips with my humble vespa px 150, 1000 km and more with camping gears, bags etc. But some time you need something else to enjoy more the ride.

[@mattdog1982]

No gs…….

[@yorkshiretink3188]

​@@Papanchasonline... Voge Rally 300 cracking bike and way better than Honda for money 👍

[@Papanchasonline]

@@yorkshiretink3188 I’ve gone the opposite way, but loved the look of the Vogue. Keeping the Inty and slowly slowly custom building it

[@antonyheadford6538]

Thanks for review on the interceptor, I was going to ask your thoughts on taking it abroad and you have answered my questions, well done and keep the excellent videos coming 😎😎

[@Papanchasonline]

@@antonyheadford6538 no worries at all Antony, I’d stick some different tyres on if you did fancy a little gravel/off the tarmac. But otherwise, it’s been a dream. Even in 38 degree heat!

[@technokitten2038]

I have been looking at it for some time now, but im a bit tall (194cm or 6'4") and im a bit concerned about the fit. What do you think? I dont have the option of testing it at this moment.

[@Papanchasonline]

That's quite tall for this bike! But I honestly couldn't tell you for sure you'd have to sit on one, see how it feels.

[@gurnstein]

If you're going to buy, don't ride the Interceptor through winter. REs do not stand up well to road salt, even after rust prevention treatment, as I've found out.

[@Papanchasonline]

This one was ridden all last winter from what I gathered! It has spots of corrosion for sure, it’s a battle to be fought with the salt through the winter with all that untreated chrome 😫

[@BestanimeAnime]

Loved from india

[@Papanchasonline]

@@BestanimeAnime love right back

[@J_Bone1888]

I’m really thinking about getting one. Does the lack of gear indicator annoy you? That’s the only thing that worries me right now

[@Papanchasonline]

Not at all, only takes a second to figure that out if you've lost where you are!

[@bricke87]

Why not trying to put more offroad oriented tires and give it a try? You seems to have road tires but a pair of Shinko 705 could probably help you in more offroad situations for a couple hundred bucks of investment.

[@Papanchasonline]

Thought about it but got a feeling I’ll be hitting some gnarly off road this Autumn. Don’t want to abuse the inty!

[@CptSlow89]

Greetings from Serbia.

[@Papanchasonline]

@@CptSlow89 greetings! Thanks for coming by!

[@galk32]

I am between interceptor , which is a beautiful bike (but now it's not so cheap, here in Greece 7.5k euros new one) and himalayan 450(5.8k euros). My main concern is that I am 6.02, I tried Himalayan and it was just the right height, but I couldn't find a test drive for interceptor. What is your height? I want a second bike for touring maybe some off-road, I've already have a vepsa px! for city commuting and small trips too. Ride safe, enjoy!! Great content by the way!

[@Papanchasonline]

Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I'm 6ft1 - and can honestly say I find the interceptor comfy despite it being a smaller bike. However IF you are set on an RE and want to go off road, why not get the Himalayan... I've not actually test ridden one so I cant comment but Ive heard good things. Not sure how it does on highways etc but... it seems like a good go between.

[@galk32]

@@Papanchasonline Ok Thank you!

[@markc1967]

They are an incredible bike for the money. I’ve been in the market for one since coming across your trip videos, but have just bought a 2022 Triumph Street Twin. I had my heart set on the RE, but the Triumph came at a price I couldn’t pass by. Safe travels 🏍️

[@Papanchasonline]

Also a beautiful bike dude, enjoy it!

[@peakrider4886]

Perhaps also consider the Triumph 400X. Good on road and off road, check out the latest videos by Nathan Millward where he took one to Iceland. The engine is so good with less vibrations than the Royal Enfield.

[@fredboyd2161]

Is the exhaust standard??

[@Papanchasonline]

TEC slip on. I couldn’t tell you which ones right now, it came with them on! I love the sound they put out though.

[@a.a.5386]

Did you change the handlebar?

[@Papanchasonline]

Nope, they are the same (although not stock)

[@a.a.5386]

@@Papanchasonline Can I know what handlebars are those? Thanks

[@Papanchasonline]

@@a.a.5386 I will get back to you when I’m with the bike this morning! They aren’t anything special, just aftermarket.

[@creativeleodaily]

Its Himalayan Region Tested 😅 and noe world tested 😂

[@Papanchasonline]

Europe tested!
