This is absolutely fantastic! Six years since this bike was launched, still we are getting to learn new things about this. All thanks to you sensei! You are and will always be my inspiration when it comes to learning about motorcycles! You are the core reason I started YouTubing!
I sound mean but I almost don't want this channel to blow up 🤣 The content is perfect just the way it is rn. A small group of dedicated followers, precise and informative pointers and unbiased opinions. Just perfect 👌
Hi Abhinav i got my interceptor 2 years ago and you played a very big role in that purchase and now i"m really enjoying with my bike and rocking a 2X1 SS exhaust, it"s just pure joy everytime i"m riding.
I was looking for this type of interceptor for a while. You won't belive i have made one concept in my mind but sadly i don't have resources to give birth of one like you did , when i see my imagination becoming reality i love it. Thanks Abhinav, lots of love ❤❤❤
Man u are real enthusiast , doing tastefull mods to bikes that mass can buy and enjoy . Those bikes with which people can really have fun on indian roads.❤❤❤
It sounds like those old muscle cars too. i bought Interceptor for daily commute to office and some touring and its lot of fun, even though its completely stock.
I’ve been following since your r15 build, big fan of your builds and especially admire how you make an idea come true in terms of your bike builds, it’ll be really helpful if you can give the resource or buyer link of the 17 inch wheels, ride safe bro this country needs biker like you
Hi Abhinav. For the fork oil, don't go by the oil weight. 10w of Motul will have different viscosity than 10w of silkolene vs. 10w of KYB, Liqui Moly, Castrol etc. Check the cSt (centistokes) and select an oil based on the cSt of the oil. That will be better way to guage the best fork oil for the front suspension. Start with checking the stock Dominar fork's oil cSt (one mentioned by Bajaj, not the usual crap the service centre puts in). Compare it with the cSt of oils you have already experimented with. That will help you arrive at good results quicker. Lastly, from personal experience, 100% synthetic oils last much longer. P.S. You've already owned higher cc bikes before, so I guess you already know all this. 👍
@@abhinavbhatt Forgot to add another thing. Just to get an idea of how much viscosity varies across manufacturers, you can get a list of viscosity of lots of oil by simply googling "fork oil viscosity chart" and "comparative fork oil weight".
I subscribed to your channel like 3 years back when you uploaded one Highway ride on interceptor...one long video where you expressed everything about interceptor... One point I have just realised while you were talking about KTM.. You owned KTM 390 adv for a very short period of time if I m not mistaken... Keep the experimental approach alive..that's why we love you..❤
What a build, man! I wish it came like this straight from the factory. The weight, brakes, and 18-inch wheels were my main concerns, as having a heavy motorcycle that doesn't handle well would be difficult to live with, especially in city riding. Those concerns led me to choose the Svartpilen 401 over the Interceptor. You should do a commute review on the Svartpilen as well! It's a lovely motorcycle!
I bought highness dual tone ( blue and white colour) in September 2022 from Honda Big wing,gurugram. I MUST SAY THAT THE BIGGEST REASON WAS YOUR VIDEOS BROTHER.. Even now it's butter smooth,top notch reliability,SUPERA EXHAUST ( not irritating like R.E.) people still asks me " bhaiya,konsi bike h ye " .. This particular blue and white colour tone is such a eye catcher. ALL THANKS TO YOU BROTHER, MAY GOD BLESS YOU, KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST,KEEP FLOURISHING.. I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU.. 😊🎉❤😊 May be WE CAN MEET SOMEDAY??
You are one of the best Indian reviewers I have seen. And it is a pleasure to listen to you articulate your riding experiences so well. Kudos on such detailed riding reviews. May I ask whether you tried putting hydraulic clutch and brake levers ? Also whether you have considered putting a steering damper ?
Well explained video ,very enjoyable and interesting 👍. Have got a 2019 royal enfield interceptor 650 myself. You've just gained another subscriber!!!👍
i was smiling throughout the video just seeing your excitment especially when started riding n opened the throttle on straight 😊😅😊😊 sound , the pull is just 😘😘😘😘😘.... what a machine 🤘😍😍😍
One of the best things I did on my Canyon Red was get the Eazi Grips Tank pads for the bike. The transperant ones. Was sceptical at first but looks very subtle and nice. Most importantantly transforms the ride!!!
Appreciate your love for bike. And you have certainly identified the gaps in design and rectified it. Rather than spending time and effort on RE650. If you really appreciate premium parts on bike, Triumph Speed Twin 900 has all these packed on Stock Bike. Ride Safe.
Love the commute reviews, daily commute style! I remember your old Xpulse review which I used to watch after I had booked mine during COVID and it faced delays in delivery. If you could do a commute review for a Himalayan, I can repeat the same cycle now, years down the line 😂
Back in 2019-20 when your project interceptor video came, I was competing my graduation and planned to the 650 once i’m earning. Got the interceptor in 2022 after getting placed. Still running stock, but alas, you’ve enticed me once again 😂 And riding this without ABS, man you got some balls I would say. Not my cup of tea.
Oh I Iiked the Grey scheme and the 2into 1 exhaust … but upgrades are good… now that you have it in Red, get a pinstripe with the term ‘ el - Diablo’ on the tank
I got inspired by your interceptor project videos back then and bought one. mine is stock, no mods. even I ride 30 km to work every day , go through same emotions. you know the feeling
This is the most beautiful looking interceptor650 ...dominar forks look awsm on this bike ..... you should come up with a usd converter kit for interceptor650... i ll be the first one to buy....
I'm young, I'm full of that thrill to speed man. Even inside the city. I feel like it's gonna hit me back one day. How do you control the urges to speed, especially on a powerful motorcycle like this one?
Awesome mods, I’m currently getting 16.30 - 16.50 kmpl on my GT650 without any mods. Last week, I installed Powerage short slipons exhausts and a BMC air filter with a stage 2 plate, and now I’m considering getting an ECU remap from Kumar at Moto Tunes. I believe it will improve performance and hopefully keep the engine in good shape in the long run. I use my bike for daily office commutes and occasional short and long weekend rides. By the way, I noticed you don’t have the NGK spark plug kits, right?”
I'm hoping to one day RE releasing a long stroke twin with 270° crank or even a v-twin perhaps, but the only one successful long-stroke manufacturer is Harley-Davidson
Great video. have been really taking points from you while working on my i650. Those front mudguards are soo sexy. Btw please have you bike washed prior to you shooting your videos.
hii abhinav, really really admire you content over the years just got my time to change tyres on my Gt 650 this month. I wanted to know which rims are you on the the rear in this build, as i sportrads are r17 but twins came in r18s ?
Abhinav I really wonder what norm stopped the company to churn out the spec you have there, anyway you are blessed to have some personally approachable garage. Lost my mechanic by cardiac arrest n now sky Is empty for me. Anyway great work ❤
I really liked the dash, cockpit view is just ❤ the fork colour didn’t appeal much to me maybe cause of chrome colour I guess you can run alloy wheels as they are available from the showroom itself but hey hey hey I will also take a risk and go with the looks with the interceptor 650 😊
are you planing to do any upgrades to rear suspension? also would you recommend me get bear 650 over interceptor. I plan to build it over period the of next year?
38:28 Looks like your clutch is due. That shift from 5 to 6 sounded a bit gluey {kind of early signs and especially riding in traffic}. Just saying or it could be just me🙂
wow we have same taste in RE these are EXACTLY the same mods i've been saving for, except the sad part that aliexpress don't deliver anymore same canyon red same exhaust, same products in K-speed customs cart just my handlebar is brat styled

Thank you.
Dude catually built a bear 650 ! Before royal Enfield did.
Your channel is underrated bro
It's okay, bro :)
Cuz there are few people in the world to recognise quality

Re speed twin 650! This is so brilliant and unique! Kudos to you and the team who made this possible

Truly said, Interceptor 650 is a blank canvas for you to create art on it. You proved it man!! 😍
Loved this series! It brought back the moto enthusiast in me. Will start the CB350RS project soon ;)
Your channel is awesome abhinav I'm regular viewer you have class thats why only specific people got connected to you❤
Yeah he needs more views
Thanks
yes, completely agree.
Dude what an art you guys made loved every detail of your muscle bike😆
Man u are real enthusiast , doing tastefull mods to bikes that mass can buy and enjoy . Those bikes with which people can really have fun on indian roads.❤❤❤
You and Anurag are the dude that I love honestly ❤️
These office commute videos has been blessing for us, What a machine.
It sounds like those old muscle cars too. i bought Interceptor for daily commute to office and some touring and its lot of fun, even though its completely stock.
I don't have a bike, but watching your videos makes me think I'm missing on some major fun!!

Thoroughly loving these commute videos. keep them coming.
Thanks
I have never seen any interceptor hitting 110 kmph in second gear. This build is just amazing
That's because the front wheel is downsized so there is significant speedo error
Subscribed for the inty and was waiting and asking about any updates from the inty and happy to see it now but a bit late ❤😊
Love what you've done with this bike. Gives it much more character!

Best interceptor 650 looks Ive ever seen so far.
Looks like a triumph Speed twin 1200…. Sweet
What a great job on your bike... it sounds fantastic! Looks like great Fun to Ride !😊
wow abhinav you must be like bill gates what dedication and passion to your craft respect man
Finally a proper spec list for the OG Interceptor Purists. Hands down the greatest Interceptor in the country 🙌

Tastefully Modified Interceptor... Ever Seen, Handcrafted Depthly Brother...TBH, She's Lookin BEAST ❤ RIDE SAFE TAKE CARE
Perfect office commuter alongside the Street Triple 😂
Beautiful motorcycle, the Husqvarna turn signals would lovely
Love the commute reviews, daily commute style! I remember your old Xpulse review which I used to watch after I had booked mine during COVID and it faced delays in delivery. If you could do a commute review for a Himalayan, I can repeat the same cycle now, years down the line 😂
I actually have. Just did it some two videos ago.
Hahaha, I just saw. Man is two steps ahead!
Back in 2019-20 when your project interceptor video came, I was competing my graduation and planned to the 650 once i’m earning.
Got the interceptor in 2022 after getting placed. Still running stock, but alas, you’ve enticed me once again 😂
And riding this without ABS, man you got some balls I would say. Not my cup of tea.
Bro made the motorcycle perfect❤️
I've got similar plans for my SM650, but I plan to keep the visuals as they are. Love the Celestial Blue.
looks slick!!
Thanks
Likewise you, i use my inty for my daily office commute, every stretch gives me the feel which i need very first in morning 🚀
Would love to see a walkaround of your current garage, with all bikes lined up.
You gainer a subscriber buddy
Thanks
Nice mods abhinav 👌
Thanks
Oh I Iiked the Grey scheme and the 2into 1 exhaust … but upgrades are good… now that you have it in Red, get a pinstripe with the term ‘ el - Diablo’ on the tank
Look sick ,looks identical to speed twin
The bike that I actually want 😍
Its too loud. Kudos to you for rocking this exhaust without cops noticing
that hahahaha..... oh yes we feel tht too !! Cheers from Chandigarh 🥂🥂
I got inspired by your interceptor project videos back then and bought one. mine is stock, no mods. even I ride 30 km to work every day , go through same emotions. you know the feeling
This is the most beautiful looking interceptor650 ...dominar forks look awsm on this bike ..... you should come up with a usd converter kit for interceptor650... i ll be the first one to buy....
I won't come out with a kit, sorry. I can't take responsibility for another person's life.
Love the build! Will you do a top speed run like you did a few years back?
Naah. I don't like riding like that at all anymore.
I'm young, I'm full of that thrill to speed man. Even inside the city. I feel like it's gonna hit me back one day. How do you control the urges to speed, especially on a powerful motorcycle like this one?
Simple hospital visits with progressively higher bills will sort you out. It's the only way 😅
I really miss those AliExpress days.
I wish it starts shipping again in India
very nice - well done 🙂
Sounds amazing.
Like the minimal design and minimal electronics, reminds me of old classic raw motors
Awesome mods, I’m currently getting 16.30 - 16.50 kmpl on my GT650 without any mods.

most satisfying video, love from Tamil Nadu people's
Hey! Which front forks are you running? 8:47
Dominar 400
tastefully moded💯
Fantastic job. Is the Duke 390 handle bar a direct fit, and have you fixed any risers?
Sir where's your r15 project??
The fat rear tires are awesome.
Great build and awesome video! What rims are you running on? How can I get my hands on them? How much did they cost you?
Thanks. These are generic aluminium rims imported from Taiwan. I think they cost me close to 40k back then.
@@abhinavbhatt are these rims / tyres tubeless??
How can one have a spoke tubeless tyre
Hi abhinav ...Can Himalayan tubeless rare tyer spoke fitt in Interceptor 650 ?
Same question
I'm hoping to one day RE releasing a long stroke twin with 270° crank or even a v-twin perhaps, but the only one successful long-stroke manufacturer is Harley-Davidson
If they go long stroke bike design will change drastically and will lose character.but I too like that long thump of 270
Great video. have been really taking points from you while working on my i650. Those front mudguards are soo sexy. Btw please have you bike washed prior to you shooting your videos.
Amazing 🔥
most underrated channel i ever saw , I wish ur getting more views than other chapri's and idiots
Also make a similar comute video on the street triple .
All the reviews I watched on yt said they dont heat much you said the opposite 👀
Okay.
Bro waiting for the project r15 since years, please make a video on that!
hii abhinav, really really admire you content over the years

Thank you. And very sorry to hear about your mechanic.
I have watched this video many times coz d bike looks awesome ... wats are the rim widths??
get it detailed bro! this commute review series 🔥
No money left for detailing.
Hi!! About the 17 inch conversion which rims did you use ??
What about r15 project 😢😢 no update😢😢
Where in singapore did u pick the parts from - Thanks
Hi sir, which air filter do you have installed?
Bike looks good, but I'd personally color the Female end of front fork black
Dude it sounds sweet! Are you on teambhp?
I really liked the dash, cockpit view is just ❤ the fork colour didn’t appeal much to me maybe cause of chrome colour I guess you can run alloy wheels as they are available from the showroom itself but hey hey hey I will also take a risk and go with the looks with the interceptor 650 😊
Forks are silver, not chrome :)
wow, bike is very sweet.
Thanks
Btw that dominar usd forks looks sick, what about the expense of doing same?
need a bike podcast
are you planing to do any upgrades to rear suspension? also would you recommend me get bear 650 over interceptor. I plan to build it over period the of next year?
No more mods planned. I haven't ridden the Bear. Can't say.
very tastefully modified
Thanks
38:28 Looks like your clutch is due. That shift from 5 to 6 sounded a bit gluey {kind of early signs and especially riding in traffic}. Just saying or it could be just me🙂
I'll get it checked. Thanks
Am not RE fan but with USD forks, it has got character.. and looks nearly Speed 1200...
Thanks for sharing this sir. Can you help me from where I can get the 17inch spoke rims??
wow
we have same taste in RE
these are EXACTLY the same mods i've been saving for, except the sad part that aliexpress don't deliver anymore
same canyon red same exhaust, same products in K-speed customs cart
just my handlebar is brat styled
Also what's the top speed run?
Do you have to legalize the modifications you do?
