What a Veteran Royal Enfield Rider Thinks About the Interceptor 650: This Is A Must Watch

- I get asked a lot,
"What should I buy, any X Y Z motorcycle or an Interceptor 650?"
So I gave my motorcycle to my friend Aditya for a week and asked him,
"What do you think about my motorcycle, the Interceptor 650?"
His response will help you understand the pros and cons and hopefully come to a better decision.
This is not a comparison video by any means, but this is more about the feel of an Interceptor 650. I know there are a lot of professional videos out there on CZcams on this topic, but this is from a guy who has ridden the interceptor 650 for the very first time and he is an avid tourer.
Aditya also owns a Royal Enfield Machismo 500, a Royal Enfield Bullet 350 and a Royal Enfield Classic 500 and with a tonne of experience on touring.
Aditya's has done assignments for various corporate clients, NGOs and publications. Some of his corporate clients include Google, Netflix and more!

![How Royal Enfield made the best [selling] retro motorcycle in the world](/img/n.gif)
Felt like a nice enjoying Sunday morning discussion in live.
Always nice to take points for the twins from experience riders.
Nice video over all 😇
Thank you so much for watching ! :)
The most aesthetically pleasing interceptor in CZcams. What a beauty! Kudos srinivas bro
Hey! Thank you for watching the video! :)
Aditya surely is a habit creature, I'm amazed to see his reactions🤭
Hahaha he sure is. I loved his reactions and pointers. Thank you for watching the video. !! 🙌🏽
Good demo of how smooth the 650 is. Truly a well designed motor and transmission.
Absolutely!! it has redefined motorcycling in the Indian Market for the mid tier motorcycles.
Great videos- one simple way to improve the look of the bike is to replace the red strips with black strips masking the red . Also on the tank add a thin black strip the size of the golden strip above the golden one.. gets a beautiful retro look.. have done to mine , gonna use your idea of the exhaust , quid pro quo 😊. Also alloy wheels with the Vredestein tyres are kick ass
Ah! Thank you for this lovely comment. The idea sure does seem exciting. However as we all know, beauty is subjective. I really love this colour scheme though. :) I would however love a replacement blacked out engine cover. All 6 panels. That to me will be a chef's kiss! Thank you for watching this video!
Nice review. I'm from the UK and a new rider, although I'm in my forties now. The Interceptor is my dream bike, and hope to be able to afford it one day. Would definitely choose it over any Japanese bike, and over the Triumph and Bsa. The Baker Express finish is possibly the best too.
Thank you for watching the video! And yes definitely go for the motorcycle. It is really thar good! Plus it is cheap! :)
The front suspension in it's stock setup has a 2.5W suspension oil, which is actually the softest anything can get. If you notice the Inty bottoms out pretty quickly, the solution is to switch to a 10W suspension oil, or change the setup, the available one's are way2speed and have heard good things about it as they give preload adjustability too.
The suspension stiffness is also dependant on the weight of the rider and the individual's liking.
So in short, to make the Inty more stable and planted- switching to a more denser suspension oil or changing the front setup would make a world of a difference. And if the pocket allows one can look into YSS, which is very costly.
Really appreciate your work, Mate.
~A fellow Inty rider.
Thank you so much! I’m also eying way2speed’s front suspension set up. And comparing that with YSS ones.
I've had various 650 riders ride my Gt535 and they always say how much they miss the thump. Then I remind them of maintenance and frequent Battery and Fuel pump failures.
that's an interesting point! thank you for sharing!!
You can have shorter people with long arm levers. So reach to the handlebar varies not based on height but arm leverage
That is very true, however, most manufacturers put a standard handle bar across their production range and most people will not do that extra research and rely on such videos for a basic understanding. Plus modifying a handlebar costs extra $ (getting on that suits you) hence videos like this help form an idea of how much this particular motorcycle can suit one's needs.
Great one, what are the bar end mirrors do they com in chrome
I have made a video on the bar end mirrors on my motorcycle. Do check it out on the channel! :)
Foot pegs is a problem until such time that you get use to it, stock silencer heating is another major issue but happens in all the vehicles, rear suspension sucks and it is good only on express highways where you usually don't have speed breakers, spoke wheels with tube tires is another potential hazard. This is my observation based on my last 3 months of regular City and some short highway rides.
thank you so much for your pointers and I agree with them. I have changed my tyres, suspensions and the seat. Though I am, for now, okay with the OEM foot pegs.
Appreciated the gentleman review..yeah is not cheap esp oversea... in Malaysia it's selling at usd 7600.00.. but it is still affordable big bike here.
Thank you for watching the video. It’s the import duty which is levied by the country That makes them expensive.
Same way any Harley Davidson motorcycle is double it’s cost, if one buys it in India.
I am picking up a new 2022 UK 650 interceptor tomorrow, if it is as good as my lifetime keeper 2021 Himalayan, i will be a very happy man..Himalayan was my first RE and i love it ❤. now it's Royal Enfield brand only bikes for me, I will work hard, buy 1 more so I have 3 and keep them all as long as i live 👍😁
Hahaha thAt’s quite a dream!! 😎
Hey Srinivas. Great vid and the bike looks amazing! I'm very interested to know where you sourced your headlight brackets from? They're so much better than the stock ones!
I got them from K-speed.net. The link will be in the description. Do check it out. Thank you so much for watching the video!
@@SrinivasGanesh Thanks!
@@govindb7837 most welcome buddy!
The cup he left on the Van is still there! 😂
Hahahahaha 100 points for excellent observation
Hi Srinivas, the cowl looks great! Where did you get those?
From Royal Enfield showroom.
@@SrinivasGanesh Cool. I recently bought a Mark 2. Will ride it stock for a while and then add accessories.
@@acnorea123 awesome!!! You know which channel to come to for some tasty mods. he he he he 🤣
It looks like a dream
It sure is! 🤩
I like to buy interceptor 650 please advice is there heating issues on engine and vibration as I seen video about vibration it does what are your suggestions please reply 😀
Any internal combustion engine will heat up. :)
Even a Harley Davidson: Triumph gets hot. So it all comes down to getting used to it. I have had this for almost 3 years, I never thought it is getting really hot. Just wear appropriate riding gear/ leg/ foot wear and you’re good to go. If you ride this in shorts, then you’re asking for a hair removal procedure in your legs/ crotch. 🤪
That dude looks way older than 29... Life and Responsibilities I guess.
29? He’s 39. 🤔
@@SrinivasGanesh Ahhh.... It sounded like 29... Thank you for correcting....
@@666Kudos thank you for watching! :)
you guys are hilarious... great video
Thank you for watching the full video! 🙌🏽🤣
Nice one! What is the make of tail light?
Thank you for watching the video! The make is hitchcocks motorcycles.
I have also installed the same Handel bar on my GT 650 but because of my height (5'8") the reach is bit painful so I migh go for the risers.
Go for 1 inch risers. Amazon.in it is pretty cheap. And effective. :)
Hi Srinivas, what make are the exhaust on the interceptor? Regards Paul...
Hey Paul. These are PowerRage exhausts. With brushed aluminium steel.
Nobody literally nobody has noticed the way the car was parked in the video....😲🙌😱
Lol whaaaaa??
I did .. the rear end I think was touching the wall . Lol
@@_Stargazer_. lol hahaha
@@SrinivasGanesh hey bruv .. I booked my int 650 too and am getting it in few days . Getting the mark 2 ... could you pls give me some tips on maintenance of the bike generally and also on the chrome paint if you know about it . Also , I am planning to use the bike only for long rides ... so could please let me know if the seating is perfect the way it is or should I consider handler risers or anglers ? .. planning for touring seat anyways .. but the seating stance is what I am concerned about.
@@_Stargazer_. Oh yeah! Congratulations on getting the bike !!! More smiles to you! Allow me sometime to get back to you. You want me to reply here or Instagram?
Hi ,
Am going from splendour pro to Royal Enfield, am 5.5 height, this is going to be my first royal enfeld experience, most of my ride time would be in city, I was thinking of buying either classic 350es or interceptor 650.
What would you recommend?
I would suggest to go for a couple of test rides at first. Get the feel of which one suits you. You mentioned your height to be 5'5, I am not stopping you from buying the motorcycle, but the Interceptor might be on the taller side for you. Not sure, but get a test ride. You don't want you first RE experience to be a bummer. :)
@@SrinivasGanesh Thank you
@@SrinivasGanesh I would take the test rides, however, please tell me one thing,which would you recommend classic or interceptor? For a first timer?
@@zipk5240 Classic 350. The new model. :)
@@SrinivasGanesh Thank you
I'm 5'8 and i get flat foot on both the sides
That’s awesome!!!
Who else noticed Parked car has touched the wall😂
Hahaha I did. When I was making this video.
Unhe b ek mic lagana tha na re bhai
Lol I had just started youtube. Didn’t have any mic set ups.
