    The motor and transmission are really refined. Bosch fuel injection is flawless. Starts great when cold. Gauges fog up for no reason. No reserve in tank. Foot pegs are hard to get used to.

    The oil cooler is standard equipment on the Interceptor and a must for all air-cooled twins. Also, the Interceptor's 6-speed gearbox is smooth and positive. Great value for the money.

    Brother....the center stand is so you can work on your bike, change tyres, do oil changes etc.... not so it can stand up in gravel haha

      Oh I'm very well aware of that, and it's super convenient for doing so. I miss the days when most motorcycles had them, and I use mine both for working purposes as well as to make a more stable parking situation when I'm on surfaces that don't like side stands ;-)

    Looking at one of these to replace a much heavier cruiser. I ride on more windy country roads so the Interceptor looks like fun to me.

    I’ve been riding for 26 years, cruisers, dual sports, tourers, sport bikes, and I’ve test ridden a couple RE models. They’re a blast to ride. I’m thinking of adding a Continental GT to the stable.

    @vanessaford9966 Год назад

    I just test rode one yesterday and I find it a little weird that the brake lever is a shifter lever. I also didn't like the foot peg placement. Shin bangers. And, the biggest issue I have and what i haven't heard any review mention, it steers really heavy. Feels like its fighting me when I want to turn. Goes straight great. Has good power for its weight. But I'm not sure I can get used to the sluggish front end handling. I really wanted to love this bike from the first ride. It didn't put a smile on my face like others I have owned did (and still do).

    Does enfield provides s&s exhaust in it or you bought it aftermarket ?

    • @TheVwboyaf1
      @TheVwboyaf1 5 лет назад +1

      Some of the demo bikes have the S&S exhaust included at no extra charge. You can buy the exhaust through the dealer if the bike you want doesn't already include it.

    • @AlexSimmons11c

      Exactly as VW said, you can get it through an Enfield dealer and some of the demo bikes have it, this one had it installed at the dealer as a demo bike

      Hi Ben! I've done a decent amount of 2-up riding on it and I can only count on the feedback of my passenger hahaha! She didn't have any complaints! That being said it was always a shorter ride of 1-2 hours or less, so not sure how well it would do 2-up for longer distances!

    I hope you guys stateside have more luck when you get a puncture, over here in UK none of the big breakdown organisations will patch your inner tube roadside, unless you've got a spare tube, some say oh! we'll take you to the nearest garage FINE, if you can guarantee to get puncture in working hours would you leave a bike worth more than $18000 outside a garage till next morn! Why couldn't Enfield have designed bike with tubeless tyres, a damned good bike with one big niggle.

    • @petercousins1645
      @petercousins1645 4 года назад

      @Ed not really an answer, any biker using spoked wheels knows you can't use tubeless tyres , but it would make life easier if emergency road Co.s fixed punctures at the roadside (smart motorways excepted as too dangerous) instead of taking you to nearest garage & that's assuming you can arrange to have a puncture in normal trading hours .

      Not unless that 15 year old is a trained motocross rider with years of experience no, that's a machine for someone who races or at least has a TON of experience, lots of power and relatively light weight
