[@sagarwhencut]

Bought the INT650 after watching your review. Coming from a scooter I probably would never have considered a 650cc twin as my first bike if not for your review. Took a test ride, fell in love with it, was lucky to be able to convince my dad. XD Been six months and I'm loving it more each time I ride it, all thanks to your precise bike reviews.

[@sinuslebastian6366]

K V Sagar what mielage you're getting bro?? And is the heat tolerable in city traffic?

[@sagarwhencut]

It definitely gets hotter than other Royal Enfields and Dukes but when you learn that is how hot the middle weights get, it's fine. If you decide to ride it wearing shorts and flip flops you will not be able to ride it confidently because you will conscious of the very hot engine touching your legs. I get about 23-25kmpl in city and 28-30kmpl in highway.

[@l0lka607]

Is it actually ok for someone who had only driven a scooter to upgrade to an interceptor or an gt. I can i manage the upgrade 👀

[@sagarwhencut]

Definitely the bike is powerful, but very linear so, the power is not really a problem. If you can manage the weight it's very easy to ride this bike

[@sinuslebastian6366]

K V Sagar ok thanks bro! Ride hard, ride safe!

[@rajlucka939]

I just got the delivery and I have to say upgrading from a unicorn it doesn't feel like much of a big upgrade while speaking in terms of controllability. Of course the power is there but if you stay below 3k rpm then it's really controllable and easy to ride. After 1st service I ripped it upto 120 and you don't feel like the bike is unstable at all. The attention is real a lot of people have come upto me and asked about the bike.

[@Torquebeast650]

I had the same experience with my GT650 , i ripped it upto 155 , it was quite stable there , but it gets a lot of attention 😄

[@coolgrv9]

Same goes for me brother, I upgraded from Yamaha fzs and this bike have controllable power throughout the rev band. I skipped the duke 390 and got this since duke has as crazy power and that was scary for me

[@shebinbiju7238]

Which tyre is best for gt 650.

[@gauravgalande2559]

Hey great review !! I own a interceptor 650, just want to point out, given strell has been using it only for 3 days, i have had mine for over 8months now, from mine and several other reviewers opinion the gear box and shifting is very smooth on this motorcycle, given i noticed a big chunk of the improvement after the break in period and the first service of this motorcycle, unfortunately he stresses that its closer to the 350's and 500's but i would disagree strongly. As for the riding position, i am 5'6, strell too is on the shorter spectrum if i am not wrong, yes the reach to the handle bars is a bit of a stretch, but that issue can be easily fixed with handlebar risers. In regards to the exhaust, from my knowledge if you buy slip on exhausts for the interceptor, you do not really need to get air filter change and ecu update, the stock ecu adjusts the airflow and fuel mixture accordingly, automatically. This bike is on a whole new level of bike quality from Royal Enfield.

[@rikusharma1]

Yes Mine is absolutely smooth and precise shifting. Not like the other REs. And also i didn't find the clutch hard at all.

[@vijayrb5519]

Yes right. No ecu update n air filter change. Kind of plug n play even for ss moto 2 by 1. The exhausts are too huge and contributes to the huge width on the back is my only concern! :(

[@LucasCharles390]

This video was very useful. Now I jus need a Himalayan with interceptor engine. . 😝

[@AniketChakraborty]

Was waiting for your review. Feels really connected 😊, really east or west Strell's review is the best. Became a fan since your classic 350 BS6 review.

[@wangdu123]

I am riding the interceptor for the last one month.. strell review is honest. one thing I like to disagree is on the power and it is good.. strell is used to riding powerful machines so the power might lag for him. most of us who are not used to riding powerful machines will find this bike powerful and sufficient.

[@sreyasmp1753]

Totally agree with what you said about exhaust. I've seen people messing it up with after market exhaust while this thing sounds like a gem

[@sureshkishore]

Malayalam: "ninte kundi valuthanenkil, seatinu veethi poraa" Strell inte translation "If you feel that you are more attractive from your back" Sooper Bro!!! Loved the review. I use a int 650 since jan2019. It was an upgrade from Cl500. My points: It's not a daily ride bike like Classic500. Not as comfortable especially for pillion. It's is 40kgs more heavier and it feels so too. City Fuel efficiency can drop to is 18-20 if used for short city runs. Heats up as strell mentioned correctly, do not ride wearing mundu, shorts or even trousers. Jeans ok. Initial torque is felt much more in Cl500 in first gear. This is because cl500 first gear is much lower. But as a weekend bike for those who enjoy pure unadulterated biking it's a unbeatable package. Great Engine. Awesome sound. Shockingly fuel efficient on the highway. Got 34kmpl on a 250 km non stop trip from kodungallur to trivandrum. Classic500 used to give me only 25. The only issue I faced was with the error in fuel guage. Which I have learned to live with.

Hey Strell, great video as always. Coming from an R15, do you think this would be a good upgrade in terms of power? Would I be engaged with the 650 even after 2 years. I realize both are very different bikes. Also, say the R15's heavy traffic maneuverability is 9/10, how would you rate the interceptors? Thanks in advance!

[@ChinmayKashid]

Well Here's my take on wheels. I would rather sacrifice the "retro" looks of spoke wheels than stranding in the middle of nowhere looking for a puncture shop. FYI Royal Erado makes custom built 18 inch sweet looking alloys for stock tyre setup. And It's very high quality. I have seen it firsthand. There are other manufacturers also but Royal Erado is trusted name and they export Many Harley alloys to other countries as well. I have a set of them on my classic 350.

Hi. Nice review. I have seen your 350 classic review as well. I would like to ask if the purpose is to ride a bike occasionally and mostly city ride and less of highway cruising, is it (Interceptor 650) the proper choice to buy or better to go with classic 350 ?

[@Rickrides]

No BS reviews always. Love u buddy 💙

[@aravindraj.r.l4607]

[@sushilchoudhari3807]

I was in the same dilemma whether to buy the Himalayan or the Interceptor. I was upgrading from Honda Unicorn. borrowed the bike for 2 days each and found out that Interceptor just couldn't handle the Savage Hinjewadi peak traffic. the footpegs were waay to far for a proper city commuter. Booked the Himalayan. Its been 10k kms in a year. I started to think the government is making some nice roads. It was this comfortable. But yes, the quality of RE is not upto the mark. The cone set and speedometer cable is up for replacement already. Strell, you're the best kept secret in the Indian Online motoring community. I wish you become famous with the right audience only. Cheers!

[@rajlucka939]

I went from riding my dad's unicorn to riding this and I don't feel this bike is overwhelming in any way, weight or height. I'm 6.0".

[@Divyesh_Sinha]

I'll give a better example for others in the braking aspect It's braking power is more than the duke 390 and ninja 300 Braking distance from 0-60km/r Duke 390:- 17.16m Ninja 300:- 16.77m Re 650:- 16.23m I guess this is the best braking bike in the sub 4 lack category

[@daveinwla6360]

A frank and thorough review. (In the West, weight and U-turns are less of a concern.) Thanks for showing in detail the foot peg problem - other reviewers just mention it. How is the torque smoothness coming off idle for the BS6?

[@AnandCd]

I did test ride it a few months ago. What I felt is that it is a wonderful bike to ride. Buy for co passenger, it is not a good bike. It pulls the pillion rider to back and frighten a lot. A back rest like in Thunderbird, would give co passenger a safe feeling. The exhaust gives the back seat rider more troubles in long rides.

I own an interceptor for 4 months now and this review is almost perfect. I did my first service few weeks ago and the bill was around 3000 including the labour, oil change, air filter and oil filter replacement. The oil change itself was approx 2k. Just wanted to ask that I upgraded from a TB 350 and the riding posture is very different. I am around 5 ft 10 inches. Whenever I ride it for a longer period of time I get some pain in my wrist and shoulder. Is it because of the height of the handle or due to the change in the riding position? Can a handle bar riser solve my problem?
