[@stuharris9993]

I've had one for four years now. Love it, and have had no problems other than a frayed throttle return cable. I got mine when they first came out in 2019. Mods include: performance mufflers and large diameter, decatted pipes from TEC; DNA high flow intake; small LED signal lights; small headlight brackets; a tail chop kit from MK Designs that eliminates the rear fender; power module; solo seat; and a bunch of other little things. I think the HP is probably close to 60 now and it's lost 35 or so lbs. Now I just need to work on losing 15 lbs. off my body! Eliminating weight is the same thing as increasing horse power.

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentimental attachment to this genre of motorcycle. In the day, I had a '78 Yamaha XS650 vertical twin bike. Same basic design concept...

Not mentioned in the video is just how nice that gearbox is. The clutch is also fairly light and works well. The bike is too heavy, made worse by the engine being mounted so high (if you drop this bike you will find out that for a 200kg bike it takes a lot to pick it up off the ground, don't ask me how I know).

[@chrisfitzmaurice7484]

I've had an Interceptor for 10 months and about 2,400 miles. I'm still happy with it. It checks quite a few boxes for me: it looks great, sounds great, great gas mileage (about 55-60mpg) handles well, lots of aftermarket stuff. It'll cruise all day at 75mph no problem. Power and torque are plenty for most purposes. The six-speed gearbox is nice. The brakes work fine, the ergonomics are fine. It has a likeable personality and it's gotten *a lot* of compliments. But it's not a bike I'd want to ride to Alaska on. Or probably even 200 miles. The reason being that the suspension and seat are both stiff and kind of cobby. Around town it's fine but it wouldn't be fun riding it all day long. That and the foot pegs demand you work around them some because they're in the way when you put your feet down. The right mirror vibrates (the left one is fine) and it's hard to impossible to read the digital gas gauge in bright sunlight. Those are my only complaints.

Such a stunning bike

[@edwardwilliammorris1340]

Royal Enfield is now rhe world's best selling motorcycle , and deservedly so . Priced fairly and good quality control now making them as good as any other for reliability. I'll be keeping mine, i absolutely love it 😎

I have never owned or even ridden a motorbike. I've always been a petrol head. After discovering these things an hour ago I've fallen in love.

[@TRocksGarage777]

It's a great looking and sound bike. After watching this video I want one now.

A product from India to the world

RE is the pride of Indian Bikers

I like vintage looks mixed nicely with good, unobtrusive technology. I wonder how the seat will be on a long ride? That RE makes the bike easier to work on is good. Making it have excellent reliability is better. Thanks from…east Tennessee.

do you recommend this for newbies?

[@robervin9107]

Kase is so captivating

[@libraeotequever3pointoh95]

I put a leg over an RE int650. I need to lower the seat height by 2 inches. Otherwise I'll need a "short person" bike.

1500 euros for annual insurance is the reason why I won't buy a modern bike. Insurance for 20+ y.o. bike costs 200 euros.

My 2022 GT has been in the shop for the past three months with an electrical issue that they havent been able to sort...

[@coreyschmidt734]

While I haven’t ridden the Continental I have ridden a Kawasaki W650. It was a hoot. Have you tested the W800 yet? I would be curious to get your opinion comparing it the Continental GT.

[@andrewslagle1974]

The enfield is better in my opinion. The 6 speed trans from enfield blows the 5 speed away and the enfields have a massive aftermarket support from engine to suspension etc !the kawasaki has a lot of plastic a lot!

[@ElCachorro97]

⁠@@andrewslagle1974it is the opposite on the plastic part. Kawasaki have more chrome and better switches, unlike the einfield look like they outsourced it from cheap chinese oem.

[@nelstadel9185]

thanks for the review! Also, where is your leather jacket from?

[@official_ashhh]

really efficient dynamics on that one
