I bought Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.. First Ride Impressions.

[@woodstockwoodstock2116]

Great bike. I have soft 30 litre Givis on OEM pannier rails on my 22 Interceptor. 5300 miles. Small niggles in the beginning but nothing gets in the way of the MANY smiles. Really good choice in machine.

Hi. Thank you for watching my videos. I’m looking into all the luggage options at this stage. I’ll keep posting the video when I find something

[@tracey38999]

Thanks for the review!!!👍🇺🇸

[@rideswithrichie]

Thanks Tracey

When looking for a new motorcycle, I did consider the Interceptor 650 but opted for the Himalayan. I forgot about the Interceptor until this video. Maybe I'll get one in the future. Im glad youre happy with it.

[@rideswithrichie]

Hi Adam, love your videos and work. I have been your follower for a long time. The reason I did not go for the adventure bike is because I already own a Yamaha Super Tenere 1200. This bike was in my books for a long time.

Congratulations on the bike. I bought a red one new this year. They are fun for sure. Another commenter said they break all the time. I think if you don’t thrash it it should last a long time. It’s a budget bike so things have the potential to go wrong, but things go wrong on $20k bikes as well. Good luck. Only mod I’ve made so far is adding a small windscreen. It creates a little buffeting but it takes the pressure directly off your chest when riding at higher speeds.

[@rideswithrichie]

Hi, Thank you for the lovely comment. I’ll have to wait and watch how this goes. I have bought a Puig windshield. Yet to install it, I’ll make a video when I do so.

They are very reliable

[@rideswithrichie]

Yes. I do agree. I still have a 2011 Bullet standard 350 and it runs like clock…

Wishing you miles of smiles on your new Royal Enfield Interceptor 650! The Orange Crush is a real classic looking beauty. I'm looking forward to following your adventures and updates on this superb machine Richie! The best of luck😊👍

[@rideswithrichie]

[@stanleylawson9015]

Wonderful news an look forward to more rides and updates, that was a long drive home as well

[@rideswithrichie]

Thank you Stanley.

[@thewatchman6074]

Interceptor 650. The most fun you can have with all your clothes on. What a gorgeous looking machine.

[@rideswithrichie]

Thank you. I was pampering it all day today. Cleaned it. Now getting some ACF 50 on it. Few mods on the way as well

[@patrickstack4257]

Safe riding on your royal Enfield650. Looks like a good bike

[@rideswithrichie]

Thanks Patrick.

[@DaveWithANikon]

I worked at a dealer that sold Royal Enfields, extremely poor support, poor parts availability, and very questionable build quality (look at the frame welds up close). Saw a lot of failed headgaskets around 250 miles, false neutrals with the transmissions, major issues with the electrical relays... I hope you have better luck than our customers have had! Styling wise, they are attractive.

[@rideswithrichie]

Hopefully none of the above happens to my bike.

[@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure]

Interesting bike Ritchie. Nearest Royal Enfield to me is Limerick. Bit far for me to take a look.

[@rideswithrichie]

They are available at Megabikes in Dublin as well. In case if you are in Dublin. You must ride one of these.

[@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure]

@@rideswithrichie ah yes. Is that were you bought it? You still have the Tenere?

[@rideswithrichie]

@@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure yes. I still have the Super Tenere. I’m gonna keep both

[@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure]

@@rideswithrichie nice... I had a look at the Honda CL500 this week. At interesting machine.

[@Jay_Speed]

You got the best color !

[@rideswithrichie]

Thanks. Was very lucky to get this immaculate bike. It’s so clean. I’m worried to use it… 😂😂😂

[@B0M0A0K]

That's a great video, very informative. You mention re-fuelling, what is the fuel consumption like on your bike?

[@rideswithrichie]

Hi. Thank you for watching my videos. Im not sure how accurate is the fuel gauge. I was getting very nervous that my bike would run out of fuel. And I guess the bike was consuming more petrol since I was constantly doing 120kmph speed. Now since I have the bike for a few days I feel like the fuel consumption is not bad. I have not checked accurate fuel economy… but I have got more than 20kmpl constantly in city and on local commute. I hope this helps

[@lishajun10]

❤❤❤

[@rideswithrichie]

Thanks

[@alexmorgan3435]

Nice looking bike but not quick enough. The Kawasaki Z900RS would be my choice of classic naked bike.

[@rideswithrichie]

True. Z900rs is a great bike. But costs double than this Interceptor 650. And this bike is plenty fast for me to commute to work. The max speed limit is 80kmph 😂😂

[@The_triumph_rider]

Congratulations bro happy riding

[@rideswithrichie]

Thank you so much 😀
