Interceptor vs GT- just my opinion (Royal Enfield)

[@TwoWheelsBackroads]

Hah! I pity the fool who doesn't watch to the end.

[@UncleVoodoo]

glad you liked it, I try not to pass up an opportunity to talk about fire breathing whores!

[@MichaelMassie]

That’s my bike, an Interceptor in Baker Express. Love that bike. Helped me keep my sanity during a battle with lung cancer.

[@scottytoohotty7617]

You beat it? Good on you ya fkn warrior! Ride til ya die!

[@soumalyadeogharia5892]

Motherfucking legend

[@Root_boy]

To me, it's the best looking (and sounding) bike ever made. I sold my 130hp sport tourer to get this 40 odd horsepower machine. Couldn't be happier

[@johnlenart597]

I've rode BMW's for nearly 50 years- all S's and RS's. When I saw the Rocker Red GT at my dealer (who sells both brands) I fell in love, again. Lol. 1 month earlier I bought a Classic 350- also fell in love. Cheaper than getting married again, lol. Just subscribed to your channel- love your presentation. 👍👍5🏍🙋‍♂️

[@amoldwivedi6654]

We need more reviews of motorcycles like this gentleman does! Watching the video felt like a gentleman telling me with his experience which bike I should buy and that he really cares that I am happy when I buy the bike. Kudos to you Sir! Keep the great work going on! A man of culture! A true gentleman!

[@EttoreB93]

First video I see where someone actually talks thoroughly about the differences between the two bikes! Great

[@davidhayes5873]

I'm 57 and love my GT. It's got everything I need and nothing I don't. Great video.

[@zfunk123]

Damn it Voodoo, you're making me want to buy another bike.

[@UncleVoodoo]

Don't run out and buy one until you see my next video.... ;)

[@FTStratLP]

😂😂😂 Thank you for this hilarious and entertaining but still very informative comparison. I instantly subscribed to you channel.

[@JoaoVictoralves22]

I'm very happy to see him analyzing all the points with a very open mind, it's a beautiful thing to see. You take great care and affection when you analyze. Greetings from Brazil.

[@richardjakobek7477]

Another great video, thanks. Really captures the essential differences between two otherwise very similar bikes. I love the language. Keep it up.

[@UncleVoodoo]

Thanks, I figured talking about what the differences add up to in the real world would be a good topic rather than just pointing them out.

[@AA-nt5qw]

Excellent rundown Crazy ending😅Hope you’re good 😂

[@BikerMomRideouts]

Only found your channel today. Love your style/humour and descriptions!😂. Great video. New subscriber.

[@twinphill900]

Excellent video. It was more like a conversation, an accurate personal perspective, and an interesting personal experience plus comedy. Perfect, a big 👍thank you.

[@josemanuel2244]

One of the best reviews a have seen so far. Thanks 👍

[@edwardkaminsky8142]

Excellent comparison, Uncle. I like both styles. I deal with the same issue as Scooter and others. Arthritis in the hands. I ran a screw gun for 30 years sheetrocking, and it's much like holding a pistol endlessly. Bless you and others that can still overnight and sleepingvon the ground still ...on the motorcycle. 👍😎

[@philiplondonaz]

Love this guys humor! Sewage factory/Amusement park!! So funny. Also, yes watch till the very end!!!

[@UncleVoodoo]

At least someone thought that was funny, thanks for watching 👍

[@charlesbradley2943]

Great review !! Totally agree. The GT is the looker. Thanks for your review.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Thoroughly entertaining and informative! The GT does look sexier!

[@UncleVoodoo]

Thanks! The GT has some major sex appeal, I was initially kind of worried I was making more of a heart rather than head decision when I acquired it. In this case the heart turned out to be right.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

@@UncleVoodoo It’s awesome when the heart and the head come to the same conclusion… and it’s fantastic! 👍

[@albertsachteleben6173]

The vacation analogy is spot on.

[@TheBezaleel]

Wow, that was different, but throughly entertaining. Great views, hope you didn't have to sleep on the couch. Best wishes from the UK.

[@UncleVoodoo]

well I guess that's what I get for messing with those fire breathing whores!

[@BillNelson-OU812]

The ending made me subscribe and hit the bell!

[@UncleVoodoo]

Thanks! My wife was a good sport on this one :)

[@romeldias]

The GT was the OG they were working for and the Interceptor was a happy little surprise the team stumbled upon in the development process and the way i see it, is that the Interceptor is the bike that rakes in the money for the company but the GT is always THE bike most folk aspire too...its like FIAT and a Ferrari for me but very closely priced!

[@venvilhenrydsilva8354]

Sewage plant & Amusement park You got me on that one

[@janiv3987]

GT650 is like James Bond on rolleblades got me. Subscribed 😂

[@dazzaoutandabout4870]

Sounds like your in trouble again uncle. That fire breather sure brings back memories. Easy ride and corners well in the saddle! Liked your review, never really thought much about the interceptor, already owning a himalayan But makes me think of enjoying the road riding more and touring. Food for thought. Thanks.

[@nicholasfox3670]

Even by British standards you’re a funny guy 🙂 The type of review we need. With wisdom we choose a mistress with two wheels. Them legs are connected to more agro and serious expense.

[@daveanderson70]

I really liked the detailed design comparison. The Interceptor was getting my vote until the end of your video!!

[@UncleVoodoo]

ya, you've got to keep that fire breathing whore factor in mind!

[@Simulera]

I live about 20 miles from this dealer in Pembroke VA. Great dealer, just feel like that needs to be said because the biggest obstacle to not selling more RE bikes in the USA may well be that the dealers are pretty sparse in most regions. In Virginia we have 2 for sure and may a new one, so three. That’s a lot for the USA but Virginia is fairly big and they are not that close together. For example the fellow here rode 2 hours for a service. RE are a wonderful option for riders, we can all hope they get some dealers set up!

[@garrysmith9246]

Enjoyed your no nonsense review, I think both bikes look great. I've got the Interceptor in the same colour scheme as this and love it but could have easily have gone for the GT, love the chrome tank. Thanks for the review, ride safe👍

[@petersheppard6085]

The thing that stands out most, is your personality Sir....I bet your a hoot to go and have a beer with.....

[@jonathanpwoods]

haha I'm glad I watched to the end. Informative video too - I wonder if anyone has successfully taken the GT cross country and had a good time

[@0HARE]

Thanks for a great, in-depth comparison. I’m not interested in either of these bikes. I miss your Himalayan & Monkey episodes, but that’s my riding style. I feel like my 2006 Kawasaki KLR650 would best either of these two, but they’re totally different bikes. Adventure bike vs road bike doesn’t really compute. The train boxcars tour would be interesting. I’m awaiting delivery of a 2024 Triumph Scrambler 1200XE. Will let you know how it goes. Rock On…

[@garyives1218]

I test rode a gorgeous Racer Red GT before the INT and totally loved it! That's why I went with the INT. I was only a year and 10,000 miles back into riding (on a sweet Himalayan....thanks Itchy Boots) and I knew I'd get way too Carl Fogartyish (LOL!!!) with the GT and might hurt myself or it. I think you're correct about the low-speed maneuverability, and for me at 5'6" it feels really relaxed and easy to handle, but I think I want a GT for a while :)

[@SeamusMacMattain]

I bought a '22 GT in Dux Deluxe 2 years ago.... I checked out an interceptor as well.... It was almost a tough choice... both bikes were the color I was interested in, the riding position was so similar for me that it didn't matter, then the feels kicked in and my beautiful bike was brought home...

[@UncleVoodoo]

I was kind of the same way,.. I knew I made the right choice after picking it up once I got it out of city traffic and was able to stretch its legs. The sensation was just what I was looking for.

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

I have had my Triumph Tr-6 with a hard tail and magneto for 40 years. Camshafts lasted 50 years, had to split the cases to replace them. New sludge trap and she is good 👍 for another 50 years.

[@jjstuartonwriting8150]

Finally a bike that addresses my massive penis. It's not easy for guys like us. Thanks for addressing this issue.

[@RoadTrekker866]

The gas tank on the GT remind me of the gas tank on the 1966 - 67 Honda CB450 four speed.

[@jakedmc]

Always thought the names should have been swapped. The GT strikes me more of an Intercepter kind of machine.

[@UncleVoodoo]

as I said,.. Interceptor is a cool name, but I get that historically their cafe bike has always been called the Continental GT. I get it, but Interceptor is still cooler.

[@edjones2110]

Your good at reviews , nice content . I bet jabou would love a poster of a Chevy van ! 😂

[@UncleVoodoo]

it was 33* out when I shot this, I was freezing my butt off trying to do the presentation.... plus I had just ridden 2 hrs in the cold and this is actually the 2nd filming. I originally shot it in the spot by the windows (where I took the on the bikes pics) but road noise killed the audio, so I moved behind the building and reshot everything. Needless to say the ride home wasn't any warmer!

[@aaronandparistrujillo7134]

Looking forward to the Grand Canyon / GT video 🙃

[@btordxc]

I’ve always loved the looks of the original Royal Enfield GT250 so when the GT650 in Rocker Red was born, it was love at first site. Never even considered the Interceptor.

[@ScooterintheSticks]

I looked pretty hard at both of those motorcycles. More at the Interceptor than the GT because rightly or wrongly I was worried my arthritis in my hands, wrist and back would have trouble with the more aggressive riding position. But I never got the chance to find out because I bought a Kawasaki W650 when it popped up in front of me. I always find your videos useful. If not in specific details then in how your thought process works when considering motorcycles, performance, and utility. It has warmed slightly here so I'll be able to ride tomorrow with the temperatures hitting 40F. Now I just have to decide between the Himalayan and the W650...

[@UncleVoodoo]

I was frozen trying to film this, I rode down there at 33F and had to stand outside filming this twice and then ride home for another 2 hours. I was a shivering mess by the time I got home.

[@kyledickenson1494]

I explained the difference to a friend like this: given what they both are, a cheap 47 hp fairly laid back back, the interceptor is probably a better choice overall. It doesn't try to be something it's not. When you're riding the GT on the other hand, you want to start carving canyons and keeping up with the faster bikes due to the aggressive stance, which it's not really well suited for. That said, I own a GT and I absolutely love it. But I definitely run the hell out of it because it encourages you to do so.

[@motofan2726]

I have owned both and I miss more the Continental, at higher speeds it definitely feels more stable, I was able to take it to the triple digits not the case with the int650. Great videos

[@Bo-nn1ig]

I had a deposit on the Interceptor- moved it to a Classic 350 which I bought- but always liked the look of the GT. I bought an almost new ‘21 GT a year ago - now the Classic and my ‘15 Bonneville are for sale (sold), and the GT stays. It is not my everyday vehicle- it’s my fire breathing girlfriend whom lives with the wife and me, but the wife doesn’t know how we get along. Also, after 45 years of riding, the GT is what was the dream 50 years ago.

[@UncleVoodoo]

it definitely returns me to my most memorable as a motorcyclist.

[@peterrussell798]

The INT650 is Maryanne; the GT is Ginger.

[@oddsox-sensei]

Great review. Informative providing what I really wanted to know and funny and hell! Man gotta love that chrome tank! Test rode the GT but waiting to compare to the new Triumph Speed 400. What’s your height if you don’t mind me asking?

[@UncleVoodoo]

im 6ft 210lbs

[@garyives1218]

Have GIVI side cases on my INT and have no doubt a GT would look freakin slick with em and the tall RE flyscreen.

[@MrBenjiBones]

What bags are those on the gt? Love the style

[@UncleVoodoo]

Those are Long Ride Racer SK bags, thanks for watching!

[@daveanderson70]

I have passed my final test last Monday (there are four steps to gain a full motorcycle license in the UK) and bought an Interceptor like the one in your review. But I just had to revisit the last few minutes of this video. Do you think the wife will mind if I sneak a GT in the garage? It’s not like I am going off with a hussy! 😂

[@UncleVoodoo]

You'll be fine....just don't slip up and let her find out!!!

[@DJPTEXAS]

Uncle Vodoo I do believe RE sells an optional Perineum Pad as aan option ! ........Lol....

[@jlrutube1312]

I'm all about practicality so I'd probably go with the interceptor... maybe even the Super Meteor.

[@RenteaRadu]

The ending cracked me up, haha!

[@robducharme7901]

What jacket are you wearing? It’s a beauty.

[@UncleVoodoo]

it's a BMG (British Motorcycle Gear) "Montana" jacket. it's been decent but it doesn't stay black for long, mine is more of a dark brown now.

[@PSBEadventures]

The ending though! 🤣😂💪💪

[@UncleVoodoo]

I gotta make sure you guys are paying attention! lol

[@davidmacgregor5193]

I visited my local Royal Enfield dealership with a view to purchasing a Continental GT like that one with the chrome tank, I ended up there and then buying a BSA Gold Star 650 Legacy Edition. The BSA an ex-demonstration model with only 16 miles on the clock, it cost me £1000 less than a brand new one. That's a bargain in anyone's books.

[@lpvtoto]

Great video...the end even better hahaha

[@jorgesoandso]

The last minute ☠️☠️☠️

[@kokopeds8588]

I only watch the end. love a gt

[@frederickwoods5943]

Baxter Cycle in Iowa has "Fuzzy", looks like we have "Voodoo" here at THE best R.E. dealer in the region.

[@UncleVoodoo]

I'd do more videos with them if I dandy live 2 hours away.

[@frederickwoods5943]

​@@UncleVoodoo The Junction is 139 miles away from Fishersville for me but worth the drive. Bought my INT650 there in May of 2020, I've ridden over 46,000* miles on it so far! * as of 10•21•2024

[@fotografpodlasem]

what a epic ending!😅😅😅

[@gary1477]

I have the Royal Enfield Continental GT650 in Rocker Red. I prefer the looks of the Royal Enfield Continental GT650 to that of the Interceptor aka INT.

[@sreesanthsasidharan3841]

My heart tells me to get the GT, but my busted left shoulder tells me to get the interceptor.😂

[@mrbritesideoftheroad]

Thanks Uncle 😂👌

[@FullArmorE6]

That was great!

[@UncleVoodoo]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[@pmay222]

lol.... the end...superb
