    Hi. Reviewers. This is happy to share that received the interceptor 650 baker express in good in sales category. The vehicle is a machine where it delivers the good power and riding experience. Stylish and energetic performance leads to good riding. I am travelling daily around 140 km per day. The silencer noise is amazing in delivering it. The mileage is noted of 26 km/per litre where it twins given it. More reviews says that the bla bla bla... But real guide is experience the vehicle. Such a good product in indian streets. Moreover re should care about the rear seat passenger. The foot pegs needed to be there if the family is going out. Compare to another cc vehicle i purely say that re twins interceptor 650 is good vehicle. I can able to demand and debate with anyone who challenge with me.

  • Reliable machine with good performance and mileage

    2 years ago


    Abhyudaya Sinh

    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.

    Best in class if we compare it to other 650 cc segment, pocket friendly
    Classic retro look and performance and pickup is like time traveling. Vroom it’s been 1 year I am riding this machine. I took it for touring as well Almost covered 9k km on this. Words are not enough to explain. No other Indian made bike can cross you and it’s a beast with no experience.

  • Ample power, simple and effective bike with focus on feel

    4 years ago


    Prajwal

    I waited for 4.5 months before laying my hands on the INT 650, decent service and buying experience
    The bike is for the feelers ,the classics and the who want a balance of show and go..excellent response from engine and clutch...clutch feels a tad bit heavy tho...looks an absolute charm...with the baker express paint scheme.easily hits cruising speeds...
    RE have tried to keep it simple and have succeeded..not many techie bits ,tho a gear indicator would've been nice..decent beginner bike .
    one you would cherish for years and will want to pass it down to your children.

  • Budget friendly but compromised on comfort & other stuff

    1 year ago


    Abhiram R

    Got this bike in Feb'22, Chennai. Was riding RE Electra for 8 yrs. Pros - Refined engine and good power & torque, twin cylinder for this budget, Buying experience were good. Cons - Definitely not for daily use due to heaviness. I feel Electra was a lot better in terms of rider triangle, comfort, and availability of spares, and accessories. Feels cramped. No alloy wheels or tubeless tyres. Average instrument cluster. Even touring seats are very hard.

    Fell in love with the bike on the very first ride. I was never a royal enfield fan because of the kind of vibrations and feel it gave. But after riding interceptor i was totally impressed. The bike is so refined, smooth and punchy. Although the bike is on heavier side , you can easily take it over city traffic and maneuver in cities. Couldn't wait to get my hands on the machine.

  • Awesome bike

    4 years ago


    Manjunath Mandrekar

    I was using royal enfield classic 500 for almost five years. When i first heard about this bike i was surprised by the positive reviews that this bike was getting, without wasting any time i booked it.It took almost three months to get the delivery but for me this three months were like three years. Delivery process was smooth. My first impression was awesome, bike was looking awesome (ravishing red) when i gently opened the throttle i was surprised by the power delivery, it butter smooth.By the time i was out of the city i was already in love with my new bike, it much much better than my 500. I used to ride my 500 occasionally, i was using car for going to court for last 8 years but from the day of purchase this bike till date i am using it and i am very happy about it. Now i don't feel like driving my car. This is one of the best bike manufactured by royal enfield india. What i like about interceptor :1. Engine : it is butter smooth, there is hardly any vibration. 2. Performance : all the power is at your disposal at all times. There is no need to push it very hard, it simply cut through the traffic effortlessly. Acceleration is amazing. I have done 140 kmph without any fuss. 3. Looks: i like old bikes but prefer modern technology. This fits my requirements perfectly. 4. Price : nothing come close to it 5. Ride : i like the way it handles considering its weight. I simply love the way it handles. 6. Service : so far i had good experience let's hope to have great experience in future. 7. Sales : normally sales guys are good only at the time of selling their products but i'm glad to say that till date whenever i visit royal enfield dealership in panjim they are as hospitable as they were when i booked my bike. 8. Economy : i get decent 22 kmpl, Things i don't like :1. Weight, when you are parking it. 2. Heating to some extent 3. No tubeless tyres Note: i still love it I am not interested in rewards, if something is good or bad one must make a point to share their experience in order to help others to take right decision.

  • It's not a bullet

    2 years ago


    Nishant

    Amazing bike at this price range. I always loved bullets and wanted to buy one. Had a pulsar for college as parents thought of. Bullet as too heavy for me. So bought it. When it was launched recently at a price that is 40k less than the current on road. Too a paid number, 5 years cashless insurance and extended warranties as had heard about breakdowns in some models. When I tode it, I was a little disappointed because this was no bullet. But then started riding with an altogether different perception and this bike will never disappoint you. Service can be a hit or miss depending on the service centre. But overall riding this bike is an absolute pleasure. You'd feel as if you're riding a rocket. Can't compare with sports bikes but for a retro bike at this price range with a comfy riding position not straining your back. This was absolute bang for my buck.

  • Cruise on interceptor.

    2 years ago


    Raghvendra Kumar

    I got my bike delivered on 20th August after almost a waiting period of 8 months. No complaints as it was worth the wait. Got mark 2 chrome.
    The initial impressions are quite good, right from the word go you will fall in love with this bike. Not a bike for riding in traffic this is a highway cruiser.
    Take good care of the bike, ride with protective gears on and most importantly enjoy the ride.

  • Machine re of pure interceptor 650

    4 years ago


    Muthamizh Ragavan

    Hi. Reviewers. This is happy to share that received the interceptor 650 baker express in good in sales category. The vehicle is a machine where it delivers the good power and riding experience. Stylish and energetic performance leads to good riding. I am travelling daily around 140 km per day. The silencer noise is amazing in delivering it. The mileage is noted of 26 km/per litre where it twins given it. More reviews says that the bla bla bla... But real guide is experience the vehicle. Such a good product in indian streets. Moreover re should care about the rear seat passenger. The foot pegs needed to be there if the family is going out. Compare to another cc vehicle i purely say that re twins interceptor 650 is good vehicle. I can able to demand and debate with anyone who challenge with me.

  • Reliable machine with good performance and mileage

    2 years ago


    Abhyudaya Sinh

    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.

    Best in class if we compare it to other 650 cc segment, pocket friendly
    Classic retro look and performance and pickup is like time traveling. Vroom it’s been 1 year I am riding this machine. I took it for touring as well Almost covered 9k km on this. Words are not enough to explain. No other Indian made bike can cross you and it’s a beast with no experience.

    I waited for 4.5 months before laying my hands on the INT 650, decent service and buying experience
    The bike is for the feelers ,the classics and the who want a balance of show and go..excellent response from engine and clutch...clutch feels a tad bit heavy tho...looks an absolute charm...with the baker express paint scheme.easily hits cruising speeds...
    RE have tried to keep it simple and have succeeded..not many techie bits ,tho a gear indicator would've been nice..decent beginner bike .
    one you would cherish for years and will want to pass it down to your children.

  • Budget friendly but compromised on comfort & other stuff

    1 year ago


    Abhiram R

    Got this bike in Feb'22, Chennai. Was riding RE Electra for 8 yrs. Pros - Refined engine and good power & torque, twin cylinder for this budget, Buying experience were good. Cons - Definitely not for daily use due to heaviness. I feel Electra was a lot better in terms of rider triangle, comfort, and availability of spares, and accessories. Feels cramped. No alloy wheels or tubeless tyres. Average instrument cluster. Even touring seats are very hard.

    Fell in love with the bike on the very first ride. I was never a royal enfield fan because of the kind of vibrations and feel it gave. But after riding interceptor i was totally impressed. The bike is so refined, smooth and punchy. Although the bike is on heavier side , you can easily take it over city traffic and maneuver in cities. Couldn't wait to get my hands on the machine.

  • Awesome bike

    4 years ago


    Manjunath Mandrekar

    I was using royal enfield classic 500 for almost five years. When i first heard about this bike i was surprised by the positive reviews that this bike was getting, without wasting any time i booked it.It took almost three months to get the delivery but for me this three months were like three years. Delivery process was smooth. My first impression was awesome, bike was looking awesome (ravishing red) when i gently opened the throttle i was surprised by the power delivery, it butter smooth.By the time i was out of the city i was already in love with my new bike, it much much better than my 500. I used to ride my 500 occasionally, i was using car for going to court for last 8 years but from the day of purchase this bike till date i am using it and i am very happy about it. Now i don't feel like driving my car. This is one of the best bike manufactured by royal enfield india. What i like about interceptor :1. Engine : it is butter smooth, there is hardly any vibration. 2. Performance : all the power is at your disposal at all times. There is no need to push it very hard, it simply cut through the traffic effortlessly. Acceleration is amazing. I have done 140 kmph without any fuss. 3. Looks: i like old bikes but prefer modern technology. This fits my requirements perfectly. 4. Price : nothing come close to it 5. Ride : i like the way it handles considering its weight. I simply love the way it handles. 6. Service : so far i had good experience let's hope to have great experience in future. 7. Sales : normally sales guys are good only at the time of selling their products but i'm glad to say that till date whenever i visit royal enfield dealership in panjim they are as hospitable as they were when i booked my bike. 8. Economy : i get decent 22 kmpl, Things i don't like :1. Weight, when you are parking it. 2. Heating to some extent 3. No tubeless tyres Note: i still love it I am not interested in rewards, if something is good or bad one must make a point to share their experience in order to help others to take right decision.

  • It's not a bullet

    2 years ago


    Nishant

    Amazing bike at this price range. I always loved bullets and wanted to buy one. Had a pulsar for college as parents thought of. Bullet as too heavy for me. So bought it. When it was launched recently at a price that is 40k less than the current on road. Too a paid number, 5 years cashless insurance and extended warranties as had heard about breakdowns in some models. When I tode it, I was a little disappointed because this was no bullet. But then started riding with an altogether different perception and this bike will never disappoint you. Service can be a hit or miss depending on the service centre. But overall riding this bike is an absolute pleasure. You'd feel as if you're riding a rocket. Can't compare with sports bikes but for a retro bike at this price range with a comfy riding position not straining your back. This was absolute bang for my buck.

    I got my bike delivered on 20th August after almost a waiting period of 8 months. No complaints as it was worth the wait. Got mark 2 chrome.
    The initial impressions are quite good, right from the word go you will fall in love with this bike. Not a bike for riding in traffic this is a highway cruiser.
    Take good care of the bike, ride with protective gears on and most importantly enjoy the ride.
