ROYAL ENFIELD | NEW | interceptor 650 | Review | First impression

[@johngifford7725]

I test rode one on Saturday and made a video about it. I liked it so much I bought it. Just picked it up tonight. Smmooooth and sweet. What a great bike.

[@HippoDrones]

I do like a classic styled bike, the Royal Enfields have a feeling of authenticity about them too.

That's what a motorcycle is supposed to be. Just the machine and the rider. No fancy electronics. No fancy aerodynamics or wind screen. No super powered engine. Just a good ol byke and the elements. I had a 1960's honda CB360 in the 70's. Best ride of my life. This bike is her replacement.

I had a Triumph 500cc speed twin in the late 1960's and I loved it. I am seriously considering buying one of these.

[@disekjoumoer]

No need to check your grey matter, Monsieur Fish, that is one pretty sweet and delicious motorbike. Like fish n chips, old school, but without the old grease. Absolutely love it. And the price is great as well.

[@uthkarshnaik7536]

Back in India, both interceptor 650 and the continental gt 650(Cafe racer) are selling like hot cakes. The waiting period is somewhere between 3 to 4 months. And since India is its home market it is priced around £3200, which is an absolute steal. I am getting mine delivered next week.

@@davidgoldwater2533 I have enough cash in my account right now to buy a T100 but I'm giving serious thought to buying this Interceptor. I've had a short try on one in a group and it has encouraged me to try it again, on my own this time. It feels more genuinely classic than the Triumph, is 3000€ cheaper and I think it looks better.

even more so for us here in india. since its manufactured in india. Street twin costs almost 4 times as the interceptor

[@paulm2467]

@@davidgoldwater2533 I'm choosing between this and a t100 at present and believe me it's not that simple, I can comfortably afford either but the only reason I'm still debating is that there's no long term reliability reports available on the Enfield.

Great review as usual , absolutely beautiful machine, has a 3 year unlimited warranty too , that shows the confidence that Royal Enfield have in this bike . Id definitely have one . Be lucky mate

[@azlong4596]

Reminds me of what the Mazda Miata did for the sports car retro move, back to basics.

[@slimturnpike]

Thinking the same

[@ronnronn55]

I remember it like that too. People who weren't in the market for a sports car suddenly wanted this one. I asked a Miata owner if the car was rear wheel drive. He said yes. I decided then and there that I would get one. The same thing happened for me with the RE Interceptor 650. I had vaguely thought it would be nice to have an older British bike again. But the shift is the wrong way around (unsafe reactions) and my knee doc would prefer I stop kicking motorcycles. Then the reviews were so positive I couldn't resist.

[@p-stylez571]

I think this will be my forever bike. I hope they come to Canada.

[@John-pe7ru]

P-stylez hey dude from2019 did you get it? And how’s the ride

Not perfect, but perfect at the price!!!

[@Mrfish2015]

Nice , you’ll definitely enjoy it

[@raycollington4310]

Good review Mr F, the price of this machine may make us less inclined to baby it more than stuff double the price. When you pull up at a motorcycle dealer with this and ask them to show the cheapest machine they have, only to hear the words "you are already riding it sir! Reminds me of the old saying that "perfection is when there is nothing more to remove", rather than "perfection is when there nothing more to add" (complexity). Let's hope RE do well with it, the market for this in India must be massive!

[@mail2dinesh23]

More than u can imagine bookings have already crossed 9k

[@IndianMusic.shorts]

Ya here in india already 6 month waiting period for this bike

[@kyakaruvlogs2784]

20000 of these were sold in India in 2019 and another 19000 shipped to all over the world.

[@anandgosai3294]

Sales numbers might sound a lot in India but this is not even in top 30 most selling bikes. Reason is people over here buy bikes as a main means of commute. Most of the people buy bikes between 100 to 150 cc engine which is priced from less than 1000 USD. Talking about RE, they sell a lot of classic 350 for around 2500 USD. 650s are bigger for most of Indians also 4000 USD is out of budget

[@TheEZGZ]

CHEER'S ! I survived the 60's and always loved the look and sound of the British bikes. I rode a little suzuki smoker. LOL Later in the late 70's I worked with some guys who had bikes. I wasn't man enough to kick start my friends Norton 750 Commando but I never stopped liking the sound. I rode bikes all my life and finally gave them up a few years ago. Your review on this bike along with others has gotten the juices flowing again.... I might just do something stupid... It's affordable and I live at the base of the Rocky Mountains. I can see myself going for a nice cool ride after mowing my lawn. It won't take up that much space in the garage. Did I mention that sound. Maybe I should order some S&S can's now! hehehe The demo's aren't even due here in Denver for a couple month's. I've owned two Harleys and done the Sturgis thing. They are over priced and to problematic but have the sound I like. I like the idea of a cheap retro that has the right look, feel and sound. My friends will call it a girly bike but I'm at the age where I don't care and I prefer to ride alone at my own pace. Nice to stop and chat at the Mountain town coffee shops. I watched this vid before I went to bed last night. My face began to hurt and then I realized I had this big stupid smile on my face daydreaming about carving the canyons again. Retirement is good. Don't have to ride with the weekend crowd. LOL Thanks for sharing the review. I am looking forward to seeing what you end up with and what you change. Your ridding a Royal Enfield in the Homeland Mister. Get one and enjoy it. If you tire of it I'm sure you won't have trouble selling it.

[@motoventure_6938]

Great Review. Thanks. I miss my 1962 Triumph 650 Tiger. I put 800cc jugs on it with a Mikuni flat slide carb. It was FAST. I wound up changing the front and rear wheels from a Honda CB 750 because I needed disc brakes. It was a Great "scooter." Oh yeah, I changed all of the fasteners from Whitworth to metric.

[@KiyanushKaranjia]

I've ridden both the Continental GT 650 and the Interceptor 650, and I loved them.... While I'd definitely go for the café racer, I loved the upright and relaxed position the Interceptor had.... As it's A2 friendly, lightweight and has a great gearbox, it's perfect for learners. Definitely needs the aftermarket S&S cans though.

[@mark.e.p]

I don't mind the rear mudguard/lights as you say it represents the bygone era. However if you open the seat you can unscrew the rear mudguard and it's very easy to add a standard tail tidy. It's a bike designed to be personalised without too much costs. The mudguards can be shortened by undoing a couple of screws. I understand there is a scrambler version for next year.

[@Vlad-1986]

This is cool, but as a daily rider I'll pick the classic or bullet anytime: Air cooled, single cylinder and many spares makes it much easier and cheaper to maintain and keep while offering enough power and more torque. Also, it is easy to swap the FI for a carb and have less vital electonics who could die randomly.

Triumph vastly overpriced now and for me personally, their build quality is questionable

@@sgtgrash5280 - forget the money for a bit, you think this 650cc is going to compete on wow factor compared to a 1200cc? These two bikes are addressing totally different markets.

Excellent review! Knowing your love of the CB500X...and as a fella with similar size and stature, which would you park in your garage? You recently did a review of the 2019 CBX...which was also well done. Stay safe!

If you're cold then warm your hands the old way; put them on the cylinder head :) The bike sounds like an old Bonnie 750. If I had the cash I'd buy one; problem is I'm a bit old and stupid these days so I'd probably have a mad half hour once a year
