Mr. Perfect!

2 years ago by Pranay Muthoju1,235 views

1,2. Royal Enfield has done good job in shaping the bike and servicing. it will provide an uncommon riding experience. this is my first ever Motorcycle. I use it for daily commute, tours, traveling and weekend rides. I'm 163cm 65kg and little freak about speed. I ride the bike flawlessly it will always amaze me. All you need is better Practice and good Skills.
3. Cool retro looks. Smooth engine and very good pickup.
it will not hardly push till 170-180kmph, but it can keep you stay in 140-160kmph without any stress. Best sounding with Parellal twin. I have installed myself an aftermarket exhaust, sounds amazing.
4. Like any other motorcycle, this also need maintenance. rather than your money it needs your care. checking chain, brakes, clutch and reaching service center whenever you find a glitch. these days you can learn all the servicing tips from the internet if you are interested. that's all it needs.
5. It's heavy but maneuverable.
hard to take back from parking, but thrills to pull the throttle (Bruiimmm...).
It heats a lot in traffic.
overall this bike is not best for something, but whatever your job - it does cleverly.

My buying experience was not good enough, because I had booked GT ventura but it takes me like 5mnths but still I didn't get my bike, so then I just went to another showroom, where I saw this beast and asked the people over there, that the bike is in stock or for delivery, they said it is in stock, and I decided to buy the bike and I bought the bike with on a week, thanks a lot to my dear father who gave me this beastly gift.

5This Bike is everything you'll ever need 3 weeks ago by Aryan Amitabh Panigrahi

Everything about the bike is just amazing. I just wish that Royal Enfield provided tubeless tyres and alloys as an option at least. The tyres have been through a few punctures during my 2 years of ownership and trust me you don't wanna get stuck with this bike. But it also shows how simple and pure this motorcycle is and hence I've never tried to get aftermarket alloys and tyres on this bike. I have ridden Royal Enfields ever since I learnt to ride motorcycles and trust me this one is worth every single penny that you pay for it. I just love how it sounds and the fact that this bike is a Royal Enfield that can do 0 to 100 in under 6 seconds just blows me away. I just love my Interceptor and I hope to clock 100,000 km on the ODO.

5Interceptor is an owners delight and a muse for the ones who want 2 months ago by Dr Syed

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.

The bike is an absolute beast. Such a smooth riding experience. It's a fun bike if you plan to ride it long or Sunday rides. It's not meant for office commute. Its a shame i could not take it out much on the highway, but this bike demands highway runs. It's pointless riding an interceptor in the city. I feel sad i am selling my bike soon.

5Mark 2: Eyeball Magnet 4 months ago by Kausty

I never had a plan of buying REs due to long waiting period. Suddenly I see a new showroom near my home and WHAM! baby's home in a week. Wanted to bring the sunset strip home, but the mark 2's magnetic attraction couldn't stop me. Riding the Mark 2 is riding a royal steed amongst mules. The stance, exhaust note, and glamour makes me feel like a Prince on Pegasus. The royal thump makes people look at me with respect. The parked bike attracts a lot of shutterbugs! The service experience is smooth, comfortable and courteous. Not speaking much about maintenance, you got get wet when you swim. Pros: Looks, stance, thump, and most importantly the respect it commands. Cons: Got get habituated with fuel costs and a little back pain.

1. Buying experience of interceptor is great they gave me time period of 3 months but I got my bike within 1 and half months during lockdown period of 2021 so that's was very remarkable.
2. I got very disappointed with royal enfield in first two months of my ownership of this bike and I had to suffer lots of breakdown on road due to some problem with fuel injection pump but service of royal enfield was great, they provided me the assistance on road and pick up too
3. I am very satisfied with the retro look and build up quality of bike and performance. It is remarkable for city rides and mountains ride. It didn't fail my expectations with performance and comfort of riding it.
4. 2 services of my bike is already done, cost is very reasonable for it, staff is well experienced and take very limited time for service.
5. Pros :
With great price we have plenty of power at our reach
Great for city and mountain ride
Services and assistance are easily available
Low heat generation
Riding posture and comfort is great
Cons :
Gear shifting can be more smoother
Tubeless tyres is much required with this heavy bike

2022 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Long Term Review: Introduction

12 May 2022

Pratheek Kunder

I’m going to start this report with a confession. I was never a fan of Royal Enfield. I didn’t hate the brand. I just didn’t appreciate them selling Indians the same old heavy modern-retro motorcycles at a price tag where the profit margins are fat. But things changed when...

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Alloy Wheel TVS Eurogrip Protorq Extreme Tyres Review: Track Test

24 March 2021

Vikrant Singh

We switched the aluminium spoke wheels on the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 with a set of alloys. We went down a size on the rims to 17 inches. And got ourselves a set of lighter, sportier, gripper, and good looking tyres in the form of the TVS Eurogrip Protorq Extremes.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Motowings Performance Air Filter Review

22 March 2021

Vikrant Singh

Motowings Performance - the same guys who ake the Trident exhaust for the Interceptor which we absolutely love - have a performance air filter for the motorcycle as well. Called the Hyper Flow Air Filter, it costs Rs 3,500. And one can buy it online from a number of sites.
