  • We review the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Motorcycle and ascertain how good it is.
    We go into detail about how the bike rides, handles, stops, and looks as well as giving you the pertinent specifications, but related to the experience of HOW that feels when riding this highly popular Modern Classic Motorcycle.
    Is it better than a Triumph Bonneville? We find out. Hopefully soon we will be able to compare it to the new 2022 BSA Gold Star when we review that!
    And we forgot to mention that it can be ridden on an A2 motorcycle license (which applies in the EU and UK)!
    Made in India and designed in the UK, in Bruntingthorpe England, could this bike be a relic from the past or a gem?
    NOTE - I realised after filming that I misunderstood the meaning of the word 'simplistic' - I meant to say 'simple' and use the word as a positive. Please mentally insert 'simple' in its place. I am clearly simple too!
    We ride it in the scenic countryside in North Wales and in this video review, you can see exactly what the motorbike is like. We look at the engine, gears, clutch, brakes, suspension, exhaust and you can really hear how it sounds! Is it too small for taller riders? Who would fit perfectly? Is it good for shorter riders? How heavy is it? What could be improved?
    We give you the figures for power, torque, fuel economy, petrol tank capacity and price in the UK.

    This is the best dam review of the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 on youtube

    “Adventure bikes are absolutely hideous looking.” 100% true.

    A pure riders bike, no gadgets or modes! Must say the riding sequences were some of the best footage of a bike being test ridden I've seen in a VERY long time, well done there, you managed to show the bike at it's best, thamk you for that. Keep up the great vlogs.

    Great bike the Interceptor isn't it - so glad you rated it so highly....great value machine in terms of smiles per £££. Really enjoyed the video, thanks for taking the time to bring it to us!

    Had my Interceptor for a year and a half now and I love it. Over 13000 miles now of pure smiles sure I may get a bike with a bit more power but I would still keep it. A very easy bike to do your own servicing which I do and endless customizations are possible even making it a 865 cc with the big bore kit. Cheers Mate

    I can understand why you favor this bike over the Bonneville. It provides a bit of raw riding experience with simple back to basic features, however for me the Bonneville build quality and power is that much better. As far as price I'd rather go with a 6 year old aircooled Bonneville at the same price .

    I bought a 2020 model, couldn't be happier with it. I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina USA and she handles the hairpins with ease. Excellent review!

    I love mine. Fast enough to thrash silly without getting into trouble, customising parts are cheap and it's as mechanically complex as a hammer. Looks great too.

    Out of the 5 bikes in my stable, my Interceptor would be the last to be sold if I needed to liquidate some assets 😁

    If the front suspension is replaced with a quality one, it will be an amazing motorcycle.

    Well, I've got this bike since 4 years and this is is exactly I would say. The KTM 690 I had before made addictive for speed and power and ...pooh, I sold it in the last moment. Still alive, I'm a happy Interceptor 650 driver😅
