I love this bike when i ridden it for the first time.It feels like riding a horse sort of something....I had booked this bike and eagerly waiting for its arrival. but the maintenance of this bike is not satisfied by other customers who had bought the bike. but if they could improve on some problems like this sort of thing. This is the bike you will get on this least price which is a twin cylinder bike.Hope for best to come from the re motors.That's all and i'm waiting for ma bike eagerly.
Tips for Royal Enfield Interceptor 650
Use tubeless tyres instead of tubed tyres And foot pad in the front must be placed in a better corner than the actual palace where it is now then other small stuff etc and also clock is missing..!!!

Never intended to get one due to the long long waiting period, but when I saw a new showroom opening, and they had a stock of I-650s, I just couldn't resist! 7 days, and the charming chrome-coloured Interceptor Mark 2 is HOME!!! One short push on the button, a little twist in the throttle and I get transported to a different dimension of motorcycling. The riding stance, the response from the engine, the vintage looks, and the sweet growl of the panther make eyeballs turn. The pickup is easy, smooth and equivalent to litre-class motorcycles. At the same time intimidating for people who just graduated from a smaller-engine motorcycle. RE has done a brilliant job in looking into all the aspects of creating a perfect bike... Errr, perfect beast. No beast can be tamed easily, and they need a lot of care. Never cold start the bike, I repeat, NEVER COLD START THE BIKE! A little warm-up is very important for optimal performance. Cleaning the chains every week is important to maintain a good machine life. The service centres are nice, and they complete service on time if a prior appointment is taken. Pros: Looks, engine, power, thrill, feel-good factor, I can go on and on. Cons: A little vibration and heat don't bother, do they?

Got INT 650 in my circle. Beautiful sound just like the Triumph or Ducati with AEWs. Took it to Jaiselmer in May on a 600+ Km ride in a day, easy to cruise at 120-130 kmph all day long. No heating issue or anything of such sort. You may get tired though. Pros.Looks simple though. Good tank range.Enough of spares/accessories available.Reliable engine and chassisNo rusting issues. Cons.Too heavy, impractical for city uses.The front looks like Meteor.Poor sales Service centre. Better find a decent RE mechanic. Uncomfortable seating.Break bite not adequate. Front break fluid pump keeps failing.

My age is 70 years and it's not possible to ride anymore. The service cost is very low, the style is excellent, it/s a genuine superbike for the younger generation. The bike is an eye-catcher and the rider is noticed wherever you take it. I still love it but because of my age, I have sold it. But bear in mind, it's not a 'distress sale.

I got a chance to ride this bike for 200-300 km. I have covered a distance of approx. 250km from rajkot to ahmedabad. Then I have also ridden the bike on rough roads and kachha road.->riding experience: if I talk about the riding experience, I was very confident to ride 650cc bike after riding this. It offers to good control over the bike. The control system is awesome. It covers the acceleration of 0-80 km in just 5-6 sec max. The pickup of this bike is amazing and the braking system is awesome. The is not much vibration in the bike. The engine is very refined. The exhaust sound is quite amazing.Mileage:I have also tested the mileage of the interceptor650, it gives the max mileage of about 28kmpl at highway and 24-26 kmpl in the city.Service:As there is no cover for the chain, regular cleaning is required. Cons:1. The seat is quite narrow, so it is not very comfortable for long rides.2. The rear footrest is a little bit higher than the rider's footrest, so for taller people, it is uncomfortable to sit.

1. Dealers were good enough to clear every query we had and also finance was of attractive interest.2. Excellent for long rides, as a city commuter it does well. Except for the long-time seating.3. Retro look just attracted me and the performance is great there is no way to worry about speeding. 4. In the segment of 600+cc interceptor has quite affordable maintenance. General servicing is for 5k kms after the first service which will cost around 2.5k ₹5. Pros: great tourer, attractive looks, easily understandable instrument cluster.Cons: seat is not good for long rides, and weight will be a burden when moving the vehicle.

Scan the bike by the time of delivery and if required complain to customer care and get parts replaced no matter how big or small is the issue. Do not over speed until the gear teeth/piston are set properly. Use single-handled till the first service. Get the best crash guard, sump guard, and radiator guard. Clean the chain after each ride and regularly during rainy and apply lubricant.

My age is 70 years and it's not possible to ride anymore. The service cost is very low, the style is excellent, it/s a genuine superbike for the younger generation. The bike is an eye-catcher and the rider is noticed wherever you take it. I still love it but because of my age, I have sold it. But bear in mind, it's not a 'distress sale.

I got a chance to ride this bike for 200-300 km. I have covered a distance of approx. 250km from rajkot to ahmedabad. Then I have also ridden the bike on rough roads and kachha road.->riding experience: if I talk about the riding experience, I was very confident to ride 650cc bike after riding this. It offers to good control over the bike. The control system is awesome. It covers the acceleration of 0-80 km in just 5-6 sec max. The pickup of this bike is amazing and the braking system is awesome. The is not much vibration in the bike. The engine is very refined. The exhaust sound is quite amazing.Mileage:I have also tested the mileage of the interceptor650, it gives the max mileage of about 28kmpl at highway and 24-26 kmpl in the city.Service:As there is no cover for the chain, regular cleaning is required. Cons:1. The seat is quite narrow, so it is not very comfortable for long rides.2. The rear footrest is a little bit higher than the rider's footrest, so for taller people, it is uncomfortable to sit.

1. Dealers were good enough to clear every query we had and also finance was of attractive interest.2. Excellent for long rides, as a city commuter it does well. Except for the long-time seating.3. Retro look just attracted me and the performance is great there is no way to worry about speeding. 4. In the segment of 600+cc interceptor has quite affordable maintenance. General servicing is for 5k kms after the first service which will cost around 2.5k ₹5. Pros: great tourer, attractive looks, easily understandable instrument cluster.Cons: seat is not good for long rides, and weight will be a burden when moving the vehicle.

Scan the bike by the time of delivery and if required complain to customer care and get parts replaced no matter how big or small is the issue. Do not over speed until the gear teeth/piston are set properly. Use single-handled till the first service. Get the best crash guard, sump guard, and radiator guard. Clean the chain after each ride and regularly during rainy and apply lubricant.

Rubber Side Down!
1 week ago
Kaustubh Gupta
Never intended to get one due to the long long waiting period, but when I saw a new showroom opening, and they had a stock of I-650s, I just couldn't resist! 7 days, and the charming chrome-coloured Interceptor Mark 2 is HOME!!! One short push on the button, a little twist in the throttle and I get transported to a different dimension of motorcycling. The riding stance, the response from the engine, the vintage looks, and the sweet growl of the panther make eyeballs turn. The pickup is easy, smooth and equivalent to litre-class motorcycles. At the same time intimidating for people who just graduated from a smaller-engine motorcycle. RE has done a brilliant job in looking into all the aspects of creating a perfect bike... Errr, perfect beast. No beast can be tamed easily, and they need a lot of care. Never cold start the bike, I repeat, NEVER COLD START THE BIKE! A little warm-up is very important for optimal performance. Cleaning the chains every week is important to maintain a good machine life. The service centres are nice, and they complete service on time if a prior appointment is taken. Pros: Looks, engine, power, thrill, feel-good factor, I can go on and on. Cons: A little vibration and heat don't bother, do they?

Good for occasional touring

Denzel
Got INT 650 in my circle. Beautiful sound just like the Triumph or Ducati with AEWs. Took it to Jaiselmer in May on a 600+ Km ride in a day, easy to cruise at 120-130 kmph all day long. No heating issue or anything of such sort. You may get tired though. Pros.Looks simple though. Good tank range.Enough of spares/accessories available.Reliable engine and chassisNo rusting issues. Cons.Too heavy, impractical for city uses.The front looks like Meteor.Poor sales Service centre. Better find a decent RE mechanic. Uncomfortable seating.Break bite not adequate. Front break fluid pump keeps failing.

Avoid riding on bad roads. Change OEM CEAT tyres, those are slippery not so reliable. Use Motul or Liqui Moly with recommended grade. Bar riser or taller handle bars can reduce a lot of stress.

1. The buying experience has been smooth.2. Best bike with a very smooth engine, the bike stays relaxed till 130 KMPH.3. Retro Classic Modern look blends very well with the bike.4. Maintenance cost is on the higher side due to break shoe price.5. Pros: The relaxed parallel twin engine does not scream like singles. The nimble, agile.Cons: I did not find any. The foot peg position was annoying in traffic gotten used to the springy action now.

Stop unnecessary breaking in the city instead, use declaration while hopping from 1 traffic signal to another. That way you can prevent the wear and tear of break shoes.

Quality issue
28 weeks ago
Manjunath Reddy
Worst quality. chassis broke within 6 months. service center guys refuse to replace the chassis as it has a saddle. how come a touring bike can go for rides without a saddle?And the company doesn’t have that. Next comes the battery issues.The battery is not getting charged. Replaced with a new one and the very next day it was dead again.Hats off to RE service They even don’t know what the problem is.
