for someone who does 70kms everday in various conditions on a hunter 350, this is the best upgrade that i can have and after riding it at 70-80kmph at 3000rpm i think it is more exciting than than the rather smoother int650 and few points i had already posted to classic legends from my experience- - center stand is needed/ good crash guard is needed/ horn is weaker than enfields so it is ineffective in case of danger or alarming situation / need more accesories like cowl/backrest/luggage box/rear led taillight should be up coz it can get damaged in heavy traffic easily

Being an Interceptor 650 owner, I can say the footpeg fouling issue can be sorted by putting feet ground in front of the pegs ( foot pegs can fold backward), for seat issue, newly launched dual delux touring seat (from RE) which is firmer, wider is the solution without killing the retro look.

Led headlight performs better?? Yaar very bad logic there. Just because its LED, does not mean its better performer. The halogen on enfields of today are twice as bright as the shoddy LED headlight on himalan 450. Thats my personal experience!

[@RevItUpMumbai]

8:00 I experienced the same thing in my gen 1 Himalayan riding in traffic the issue is purely because all the engine heat creates pressure in the fuel tank if it's half filled to solve this take a stop open the fuel lead hear out the pressure escaping sounding opening a soda can and then you go proper idle rpm throughout.

[@alok3009]

Went to test ride the bsa . Was disappointed with the customer service. 1. Test ride was denied saying i had to book it online a day before . lol the guy was obviously lying 2. The test ride bike didn’t have mirrors on and they had cut off the mileage sensor !! Very sneaky 3. Showroom had AC turned off in the hot afternoon 4. I wasn’t given a price sheet . Was asked to take a photo of the price!!! That’s terrible This doesn’t give me any confidence about the after sales service . RE on the other had is a well oiled business. CS was good. I was attended to well, got to test ride the bike and was given a price list enclosed in an envelope! Wayyy to goo RE ❤ PS. I have a 2014 TB350 and had a terrible experience both in terms of quality of the bike and servicing . But looks like RE has come a long way since then.

[@AJ-oc1uj]

It also depends on the showroom, I once faced the exact same scenario in a Royal Enfield showroom. The KTM and triumph treat you very well and also encourage you to have a proper riding experience

[@Youknowwho56847]

I would take a twin engine anyday.

[@trickychap]

BSA is significantly lighter on its feet, has better brakes, much lighter clutch action, produces both its power and torque a lot earlier than the RE, Rishaad himself said that the interceptor feels a lot heavier than its weight suggests, but he still concluded that the interceptor is the better handler??? Every other auto magazine/channel finds otherwise. As for the vibrations, a LARGE single can only be made to rev smoothly to a limit, besides, the character of a big single in a retro bike is what the gold star is all about, and I believe classic legends have captured it very well. The RE engine has always been an absolute gem, but it's a bit of a mish-mash, neither properly retro nor modern, same goes for the bike's appearance. For the charm and retro appeal alone, the gold star wins my vote. That it is a better looker, outruns and outhandles the RE are just the cherries on top😊

[@RishaadMody1]

Better handler for me because it has more cornering clearance before things start to scrape, but mostly because the BSA becomes quite bouncy when you up the corner speeds. Again, not that it matters that much on bikes like this 🤷‍♂️😃

[@trickychap]

@@RishaadMody1 exactly my point, Rishaad. These bikes were never meant to be cornering champs, they were built with a different purpose in mind. Having said that, I'll take the extra bit of agility that the BSA has to offer, simply because it will help you ride for longer hours, especially in traffic. Totally agree about the weird rear shocks, though. Hopefully, aftermarket solutions will pop up real soon if the bike begins to sell in good numbers. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@aravindbnr]

Fantastic comparison video, very well explained by Rishaad

[@Vvktn]

The upcoming Classic 650 is gonna destroy its siblings and the competition. The ergonomics, coupled with the chassis and suspension, and that beautiful 650cc engine, it could be a watershed moment for Indian motorists. Hopefully RE won’t do it dirty.

[@amlanchakraborty655]

Interceptor is the best 👍

[@shrirangpatil007]

I think the fair comparison would be between Gold Star 650 and upcoming Royal Enfield Classic 650. Interceptor 650 is a bike which leans more on the sporty side as opposed to the more relaxed nature of Gold Star 650. Till then these two bikes will be compared with each other which I think is like comparing apples to oranges.

[@shubhamb.deshmukh7920]

What a nice review. Funny how most other reviewers have been parroting the same script so far. This one is a fresh take.

[@90zkid]

My friend owns a Re 650, its an amazing bike but plagued with issues. Fuel meter always gives false readings, chrome has started to rust in just 6 months & fuel ecomony is pathetic, max 18-19 in city. Plus that is one heavy bike, riding it in traffic & narrow lanes is a nightmare due to twin exhausts & high kerb weight. And that seat will give you hardcore back pain. I always dreamt of buying a re 650 & saved enough to buy one but after seeing his experience & riding the bike myself ,I postponed my plan.

[@srikanthr5446]

That is what happens when you buy just looks and trend. GT twins were focussed and always seen as weekend highway munchers and never intended to use in city. If one need a bike for just city use, get a splendor. RE should work on quality issues but rest assured, GT is NOT A CITY BIKE😊

[@aakashchoudhuri]

​@@srikanthr5446that's a well rounded answer. Seriously speaking, none of the 650 twin cylinder models from RE are meant for the purpose of commuting within the city. They are best to be taken to highways where the character of these engines shine in their own stride. Frankly speaking, one really doesn't need a 650 cc prime mover on 2 wheeler for city usage because nothing favours it. Fuel economy, heating from engine, weight, and others. Plus, just a slight roll on and roll off on throttle is enough for the entire ride in 1st or 2nd gear. 😂 I even find my 350 more than enough for city usage.

[@BaldRavenHaired]

I am excited to see what re would bring for classic 650 , which would the true direct competition! Interceptor is more or less a practical neo retro naked bike thats got a great engine. But re is long overdue from giving interceptor a much needed design update. The the detailing and finish still calls 2017 . And its the smaller details really ,like having a colour matched fenders , the footpeg issues , rusting issue , the indicators etc. bsa looks much clean with that small and appropriate incidators , the fenders , and especially the shock covers . Thats subtle detail completes the overall look

I don't know why but all the 650 bikes from royal enfield lack something. Feel ordinary in places & all of them have small issues like not nice ergonomics comfort or hard suspension. No bike can be perfect but there isn't any 650 re that ticks all the acceptable box. I mean re sells so many bikes so much money resources why can't the go out of the way to do proper design ergonomics & quality enhancements. Honda has so many cool & really good 500 650 plus bikes. Brands like triumph are flourishing why is honda out of the game in india wish they brought the honda rebel's, the honda shadow's, honda fury, scl500 to india.

My experience with Classic Legends dealership will keep me away from their products for a long time to come. Long post - - booked BSA online on the day of launch, 15th August 2024 - visited the dealership to inquire about my booking. To my surprise, they don’t find any information. I did receive an email confirming but without a booking ID or number - test ride vehicle unavailable - tried two more times to find my booking, zero results - requested to cancel my booking in the dealership, no booking info, can’t help. The Area Sales Manager was at the dealership, busy with his work, while I was checking about my booking. He didn’t seem interested in knowing what’s going on. - called Classic Legends customer care and raised a request for cancellation and refund. - there was a refund that hit my account but it doesn’t say it’s from Classic Legends. I’ll continue to enjoy my Honda and Triumph. Rant over, thank you for your time.

[@gaganjeetsethi]

All this will be an old news once the CLASSIC 650 is out. Smoothness of a Twin Cylinder with the Conventional sitting posture. I don’t see why anyone who wishes to invest wouldn’t wait for it over this.

[@Scotch_Runner]

Pricing is a downer for a well put together BSA bike.When someone is getting at the same price a parallel twin why will they go for a single cylinder. What is the point of faster acceleration when you will be vibrating to your bones at the end of it. QA QC you can expect to be closely matched as neither of them can match the foreign players(nor even the Bajaj). 650cc retro segment is quite a good one but the current players in it has so much to do to raise their standards. Honda should seriously look into launching a made in India 650cc patelle twin retro model. That should shake things up.

Hi people, done with first service of my BSA goldstar 650, pretty sad that i have bought this bike, spent 4L on shadow black, which is one of the color in this bike range, just one thing i can say about this bike is, best engine fitted with poor quality of paint finish, addition to that is very poor service provided by the sales and service. Im just heart broke on my first day of delivery, scratches in the tank, fog in odo, poor paint finish in the accessories they have provided and point to mention , a hald helmet without a visor, yes you may think its a small miss, but im the person who spent 4L on this bike. Done with my first service, just 720km in odo, paint starts to fade in brake pedals and powder coating in the silencer started to peel off....

there isnt very big market for 650cc even RE dont sell handsome numbers for this . bsa brand launched just with one bike that too at higher end of the market . RE majority of sales are coming from hunter at 149k and classic at 179k . even triumph is launching more affordable 400 in that segment on sept 17

The time figures for acceleration seem wrong to me. I’ve been riding my interceptor since last 4 yrs and it hardly takes 6 sec from 0-100

Is it even worth to buy any of the 650 twins until the wobbling issue is resolved by RE?

Total service cost?
