User Review of Interceptor 650 by Dr Bklv Kishore

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 chassis
No 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.

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

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.
