I own the same bike. Complete stock. I get around 23kmpl in Cities and 28 - 29kmpl is Highways. btw I was cruising at 100kmph. Regarding wobbling issues, I never take hands off of my handlebar at high speeds and at 80-100, it doesn't wobble at all. It's stable as a rock. But it wobbles left and right a bit at 160-170kmph even with hands on handlebar. it feels like you are this close to tank slapper.
Hey... how's the bike in long run and what about the punctures issues n pillion comfort?? Was planning to buy one soon so help me with your kind knowledge n guidance.✨️
Mileage is around 23 to 25 kmpl on highways or even more if one is able to maintain constant speed, with speed in range of 80 to 100 kmph. In city, if you are revv happy person then expect 16 to 18kmpl. Even if a sedate rider, but in lot of city traffic it will be around same 16 to 18kmpl. Btw i used to get approx 35 to 40kmpl on unicorn for my riding style.
Thanks for the appreciation. For northeast I would personally prefer the Himalayan Reasons being- More fuel efficient + bigger tank = More Range. More space to put the luggage & jerry cans on. Will be way more comfortable than the Int 650 as the roads won't be the best there, so softer & longer travel suspension + adv riding ergonomics. And Himalayan's power will be sufficient for the hills, will feel underpowered on straight roads and/or overtaking, as I was not comfortable on Himalayan after 100 - 110 kmph. Hope it helped. PS : If you can wait the Himalayan 450 will be launched next year.
Nice video but its too early to comment on reliability and performance that too in 3.5 months of ownership. And its never cheap and best.....if its cheap there is some compromise elsewhere. I own a 535 cc lightning ......2000 model.
Thanks. Yes I totally Agee on reliability point, needs more time specially with RE, but looks like we have different opinions on understanding on performance point of view, this is not a high powered machine where you don't get much space to unleash all the power. For me this time frame is enough to understand the performance. (In case one has ridden the bike enough, which in this case I feel so), But again different people different perspective. Yes it's never cheap and best thus the negative points, and I didn't bother to add the lack to any tech looking at the price point. Nice, that's a big time rare machine. 👍👍
But consider its not tubeless and if bije gets punctures trust me it's painful. I had ended up replacing tubes twice and you will have to go to multiple shops to check who can help with puncture
Sir, pls tell me if there is an OEM or aftermarket exhaust that will sound much lesser than the stock exhaust that comes in interceptor 650? I don't like making sound or loud noise...I love silence a lot, so pls advise
That's a very unique question sir, usually every one will go for a louder one. But in my opinion stock one is the least loud exhaust, making it even quieter will chock the engine if in process the exhaust flow becomes more restricted.
Hi, i enjoy watching your blog. Had a request from you. It's really a pain to remove tyre and fix it back. Please post some video related to puncture issues with Interceptor tyre punctures so that it reaches out to company and they work on availability of alloy wheels so that we can access tubeless tyres. Company will respond to influencers like you.
Thank you for the appreciation, but the channel is too small yet for any company to consider for feedback. Wait for a little as Royal Enfield is about to launch a lot of accessories for 650 twins and alloy wheels are one of them. 👍 👍
Interesting question bro. And yes I will say that old twins will still be valid buy because :- Touring aspect will be stolen by the SM650 as it will be way more comfortable than both. But a fun aggressive ride on twisty roads will be still more fun on the old twins as a cruiser is happiest on a straight road, flickering the bike (though will have to ride first to get surety) will not be that easy as compared to the old ones. For me Continental :- Most fun to ride aggressively. Most uncomfortable on long rides. Super Meteor 650 :- Most comfortable of all three and the best to do touring on. Most lazy of all three to have some fun on the curvy roads and not so flickering friendly. Interceptor :- A little more comfortable than the continental, less comfortable than the SM650. But still keeps the fun aspect which the cruiser will loose. I am also in line to buy the Super Meteor, have also planned many videos with it and the twins. So stay tuned for updates 👍🏻
It depends on your riding need. I have a dominar 2018 and have ridden this interceptor many times. Yes interceptor has more power and refinement than the dominar. but dominar is way more comfortable and will be better suited for long rides overall. So if you do many Long tours, dominar it is. But other than that Interceptor has much more character, the engine feels more alive & It feels like a bigger bike ( Not size wise ) PS :- At high speeds interceptor doesn't feel as stable as the dominar, but that's above 150. If touring is not much of your need, I will say go ahead for the interceptor, the bike won't disappoint you. FUN FACT :- Interceptor 650 is the best selling bike in UK in that category and have dumped the sales of triumph Street twin. I am also upgrading to super Meteor 650 to retain the touring aspect and get the fun of that beautiful 270º Inline twin. Hope you got your answer. 👍 Do let me know if you want any other input.
It Depends on your riding style. Engine will be same, at max it would come in a different state of tune. -- Meteor/thunderbirdx650 is a laid back cruiser and will more comfortable for highway cruise. -- Interceptor 650 will be more fun on hilly roads because its more flickable, more top speed friendly than the cruiser and easier to ride in city. ----------- It's a Cafe Racer vs Cruiser situation. ----------- Test Ride Meteor 350 and interceptor 650 and think of what makes you more happy with the riding style. in meanwhile ride all the cruisers you can get your hand on. PS : Meteor 650 seems to be even more laid back than the 350. If you still can't make your decision I would suggest you to wait as these new 650 twins (Thunderbird X 650 & Shotgun 650) are excepted by end of this year. Hope this helped a little. Ride Safe 👍
If you are into cafe racers, Definitely. The price you are getting it for is a steal deal. 👍 Test Ride both the 650s for as long as you can, and you will know which one you want.
Depends on your riding style. Continental has a little more aggressive style with lower clip on handlebars. Ride both the bikes for as long as you can before you make any decision.
bro clearly dont know the meaning of the vintage cafe racer there's reason for not giving gear shift indicator cause it kills the old school muscle and rugged vibe second all the cafe racers from norton commando to triumph thruxton has simple straight tyre at the back too
A detailed video with complete explanation believe me man you gonna go so high in this field keep up 👍👍
Thanks man. Appreciate the support. 👍

Yes, agree on the tank slapper part at one point one has to slow down to gain the control,
you are getting great mileage though.

Bhai 16-18 kafi Kam he
20 is when ridden harsh, like cruising at 120 and touching top speeds every 10 minutes.
Agar aram se ride kro to 25kmpl easily milegi.
@@TurboDrag bhai aram se ride karni thi to ye thodi leta. Aram se ride to classic me bhi kar sakte he
Mine gives 28 to 30 in 70kmph , 6th gear
I watched a lot of videos with million subscribers but this one is so honest and clear review
Thank you. 👍
Legends watching this video after buying INT650 😂😂
How's the bike in long run... are per you. And any puncture issues??
Nice review 👍 wobbling while 120 kmph that too without holding handle !!! 😯😯 may be feature of itself reminding hold the handle !!!
Thanks for the appreciation. 👍
Crystal Clear review.👍
Specific, genuine, clear.
Which one is better for northeast tour,
Machine & mod wise,
Himalayan or interceptor 650?
Thanks for the appreciation.
For northeast I would personally prefer the Himalayan
Reasons being-
More fuel efficient + bigger tank = More Range.
More space to put the luggage & jerry cans on.
Will be way more comfortable than the Int 650 as the roads won't be the best there, so softer & longer travel suspension + adv riding ergonomics.
And Himalayan's power will be sufficient for the hills, will feel underpowered on straight roads and/or overtaking, as I was not comfortable on Himalayan after 100 - 110 kmph.

You gave the person time to talk and did not interfere in between the sentences. Well done, always keep reviews like this.

Glad you liked it.
Great review!! May know the exhaust names please?
Thank you, The exhaust name is GURSEWAK
You can google it, they are performance exhaust manufacturers from Delhi.

No one can replace these twin 650 not even royal Enfield
Thoda sa ye batao ki 2019 top 9000km run kitne me lena cahiye 👏 thoda suggest kare
2.10 Lakh to 2.50 Lakh depending on bikes condition and paint scheme.
@@TurboDrag paint se kya matlab gadi ki condition to top he par jo engine par crome he wo fika pad gaya he
Different Colours ka different price hai, so seller would be selling according to that.
Chrome to polish hoke restore hojayga. No Problem.
Big thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻..
Big thanks
Waiting for supermeteor ❤️❤️
Same here man. Will be getting one as soon it launches.
I'm planning to upgrade to interceptor 650 from dominar 400 2019 model will it be a good decision?

Bhai.... Foot pegs ki position is something that keeps annoying me.. specially in traffic
Yes, that is an issue faced by all interceptor owners, and I it gets irritating something when backing up.
Bhai aagar hum log 3rd party sump gaurd or crash gaurd lagateh hain bahar sain toh warranty void hoga kya ?
Mere opinion me void Nahi honi chhaiye.
Baaki will confirm from my friend at RE.
I'm getting it for 3 lakh from csd canteen , worth it ?
