Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Mileage

My interceptor 650 bs4 (orange crush)is giving me a healthy mileage of 32-33 km/litre on highway when I am cruising at constant speed of 80-85 km/hour.
While, in city mileage is somewhere from around 22-24 km/litre.
1)all in all it's a very reliable machine and I personally find it most stable at speeds of 120-130 km/h.
Though you start to experience heavy wind blast when you cross 100 km/h mark.
2)ergonomics are excellent for 6 feet tall guy (you will get a urge to stretch your legs once in every 2 hours of continuous riding). Also seat is quite narrow but still manageable, if you are on little bit skinny side.
3) front foot pegs were placed at little awkward position but after sometime you will get familiar with them and you will stop scraping your legs with them.
4) stock exhaust sound is melodious. Once engine get warmed up, rumbling sound of exhaust will become more and more heavier and louder to the point that it will give you eargasm (trust me its that melodious when you ride it at correct rpms ).
5) tyre grip is good giving loads of confidence at corners.
also, digital fuel gauge sometimes act erratically.

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.

The bike riding experience was good but the maintenance was more and mileage is also not as effective as the company assured the bike should be reviewed by the company and made the bike as efficient to use and should the spare parts of the bike should be available everywhere in every showroom because it was high
End bike from royal Enfield so looks into it.

About the Reviewer

Purchased the bike before the covid19 pandemic and used it for 25kms per day riding to work. Enjoyed the power it had behind the throttle. The engine heat is felt during the hot summers during the daytime in city riding, especially for the first 500kms and 1st servicing, but after that, it becomes bearable. Mileage getting 25kmpl in city riding with keeping the rpm around 3000. After riding for 5000 kms, went on a modifying spree during the lockdown and changed the bike into a totally different-looking beast. Be it the handlebar, mirrors, exhausts, air filter, booster plug, the tail light, indicators, alloy rims, big tyres, front headlight, you name it and I changed it. Now easily does 160kmph cruising speed on highways and keeps the mileage also good around 25 itself in the city.
For people who want to remain in stock, this bike is very good. All the OEM items are of high quality and last long.
For those who are stock rebels, and want to modify the bike, your imagination is the limit. There are so many aftermarket spares available. Can change anything and everything to suit your needs.
Servicing which was not upto the mark in 2019 has improved a lot in 2022 and can get hassle-free service, even sitting at home for the general service.
Rsa is another impressive feature given to all the interceptor owners free of cost for 3 yrs which takes away huge stress of what do to during the breakdown of this beast.
Puncture is the only issue I would say which causes some discomfort in this spoked wheel bike, but rsa takes care of that.
