I just did a 3000 mile trip on my Enfield 650. Had to change the handle bar for all day comfort. Rode through 100 degree heat, driving rain and a few dirt roads. The Enfield did it all without a single complaint. What a great bike for it's intended market.
ha, cant say i expected this bike to do any better than it did, considering its built for leisurely cruise riding. sure looks like fun to push a low power machine to the limit though!
There's a whole group that races them fully tuned with the 850 kits up on the east coast. RE gave them to the girls and basically said "take the bikes free to race them, but any modifications are on you"
Bringing an INT 650 to a track day makes as much sense as bringing a Mustang to a logging road. There's nothing wrong with the Mustang (or the INT 650), they're both just the wrong tool for the job. But for a 400 mile, single-day road ride, I'm betting that the comfort factor of the R-E puts it way ahead of the ergos of the SV.
Come on this was fun. He had fun. The INT 650 looked very fun even when riding it hard. It is not fast enough to make your life flash before your eyes. There is fun in pushing a slow bike fast.
Okay guys. For everyone out there outside of India or even most people in India are not aware of "Royal Enfield continental GT cup " it is a retro racing motorbike championship organised by royal Enfield. They guy every racer stock 650 continental GT with some basic changes in tyre, exhaust, fairing and footpeg position. It has been really well captured and series of videos were released by a channel called "PowerDrift". I will highly appreciated you guys to watch those videos. Must watch for Racing enthusiasts too.
An S&S 865 big bore hi comp kit, an S&S cam, 2 into 1 exhaust and an aftermarket intake filter - several choices. There are several suspension kits for it as well - all the way up to Ohlins.
I’d say that a comparison between a “built” interceptor 650 vs a T100 Bonnie (or maybe a T120) would be an interesting comparison between expensive stock purchase vs something built for about the same budget
Stil, at some point you are just fighting the geometry of the frame. Even with more hp, the lean angle and the rear dual shocks are pretty much insormountable. Maybe you can get more lean with the RE Continental?
@@max-zv7sf The frame is Harris designed - he rarely makes mistakes - it was made with ok beginner suspension - an upgrade there and rearsets, with hi comp pistons from S&S and cam, with a 2 into-one exhaust and it would make a much fairer competition - the 865 kit may well dust it.
When you come back with the hotted Enfield, do NOT mess with the engine, save for performance air filter, race pipes et, also clip on`s, rear sets, braded brake hoses, and some decent tyres. Try to keep the base structure and performance the same, just used chassis mods, and accessory breathing and exaust. That will give you a good idea of what can be achieved from a stock engine.
Rear sets, hagon or YSS shocks. DNA Filter kit and a new map would give it another 20bhp and another 8-10 degrees of lean. The enfield test rider has beaten R6s at Cadwell!
@@MAX-xw8xq Not in it's standard guise. It's the centre stand that drags first. Not the pegs so with the centre stand they have identical lean angle as they share the same rake and chassis
@@ThiefOfNavarre I own Inty 650. They have different mounting points for foot pegs! GT doesn't come with a center stand! Thus both have different lean angles! People try GT foot peg set up for the Interceptor to prevent the pegs touching their shin bone!
Never could've thought of seeing a RE on a track. Really excited to see that how far this machine can be pushed with mods. ECU flash, full system exhaust, tyres and YSS/Ohlins suspension would do wonders on this thing.
Lol this was really fun too see! And props to Josh by improving a whole lot already! I do want to see the Enfield with some proper upgrades on the track again. And also Triumph vs Josh's SV or on a different 600 like the CBR or ZX6 or also a Triumph to see how he does. Obviously Yam has more experience, but still Josh's is growing really well as rider!
Can a fork KEEP UP in a Soup Restaurant? ...why is everything always about speed? If you are trying to go fast on an Enfield you failed before you even turned the key. The Enfield still goes faster than you are allowed to ride on the highway, right? Here in Germany I just did 160kmh on my RE and it still had something left... but why?
It's because these amateurs think they're race bike riders. They take a bike that is less than perfect technology and this yam guy can't ride to save his life, nearly high siding on a wide open curve, then blaming the bike. This guy is a tool whose confidence outweighs his skill set.
Yam old school racing a sub 50 horsepower bike made my day. Plus, having to work hard to keep your speed is good practice for when he gets on his Daytona.
Stuff like this is what makes this channel fun to watch. most track videos are extremely boring, but watching a Royal Enfield on a track is actually entertaining.
A Royal Enfield on a racetrack immediately gave me a heart attack. Would never think to take my Enfield out on a racetrack. Don't be stupid, fellas. These are heavyweight cruisers.
Put better tires and better brake pads and it would make a significant difference on the RE. But really the RE650 is an entry cruiser made for relaxed driving at an amazing price. Track racing was never it's mission .
better tire dont give to much as he scrap already footpegs all over the place in corner on breaking probably also on this trafk in dry it be no better break pads i dont know 👌🏻 maybe it have some 💩 organic pads than this helps when change on semi stuff 👌🏻 anyways at this track surface area in dry stock tire is enough assuming we left ffotpegs exhaust hight at stock form faster tire start work when you increase ffotpegs hight and other hard part 👌🏻
Oh, that was fun. I like your ideas for rearsets and tires. How about a YSS fork upgrade, intake, exhaust, S&S cam, and a tune? That would give you probably 15hp and better handling. I'm super impressed with Yammie's lap time with a stock INT650. How close can he knock on his Daytona time with a Royal Enfield?
@@mrspeigle1 Don't know what to tell you, the bikes are lovable. I have about $900 in an intake, exhaust, and a booster plug, and it runs like butter. I don't care what pulls better for the same money.
I wish they could combine these two, maybe I have to look harder, but the performance of the Suzuki with the looks of the RE. IMO so many of these naked type bikes just look horrendous.
Keep this RF, modify it. Take this best lap as a bench mark and modify it, see how far you can push the bike with modifications. Hell of a series. Turbo Royal Enfield. Oh yes
It just needs better tires and it would be fine you could also get better suspension but it's probably not worth it on a Royal Enfield as it will never be competitive with a well track preped sv650, r7, or rs660
Pushing a slow bike to its limit flashes more of your life than going fast on a fast bike. Because you know it's slow but still you want to be an arse and have fun, anxiety creeps is real. And I love it
That was fun to watch 😁. Between the two I think I'd rather have the Royal Enfield because the Suzuki makes my back hurt just looking at it. Looking forward to the rematch 😃
You just proved how much fun it is to ride the ROYAL ENFIELD. I love my 650 interceptor. Good enough on the street, riding street legal. Great content. Was great to watch. Thank you Gentleman. To race the Enfield she needs many upgrades etc. Suspension and tires. Please work on it and put it on the track PLEASE. CAN'T WAIT!!!.
I think the tyres would make the biggest difference, followed by suspension, maybe brake pads? Save the power mods till last, I'd like to see what it can do with the stock engine.
You've got THAT right ! ✅ The RE has a whole list of weaknesses, and it isn't worth your time, money, and effort to try and hop up the motor, either. (Just buy a safer motorcycle).
Now I'm all excited about all the mods you will do to this motorcycle. Can't wait to see it on track again. It looked like a blast pushing it to the limit though.
Let's take a moment to realize Yam was laughing the entire time LOL It doesn't mean the RE is built for track, but 100% fun trying ...especially with your friends haha
This is why 650s are the best track day bikes a normal person can actually push it to the limit and have fun unlike litre bikes where most people will never come close to the limit.
It’s easy to get power out of these: Verex exhaust, DNA filter setup, retune, and you got similar or more power. Otherwise it’s the above plus an S&S big bore kit.
This is the only yammie vid where I didn’t skip a part. The adrenaline just watching this vid! Hahaha riding slow bikes fast, at their limits, is definitely one hell of an experience
That's so cool! My Interceptor is my only (and first) bike I have toyed with the idea of taking track tuition on it, but decided against it, as it seemed too silly. Would be very interesting to see what one can do to the bike, within reason, to get it to a stage where it's still the same character, but more capable on track! 👍
I love seeing Yammie frustrated with his bike. A nice change from his usual bravado. I vote to put him on a Himalayan next. That thing might as well have been a disel. Vespa 50cc when? ( I love both motorcycles, i have both, but i like seeing fastboys suffer even better)
What's next, 883 on race track? Hilarious but still stupid. (Then again so is doing outer track racing in Japan, which is common) Should have raced a 300
Hi, even so with all the track results in this video. I have the desire to purchase a Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor as my next motorcycle. I'd like it for long distance travelling about the country. My favorite feature about it is that it looks like a motorcycle. Second favorite is compared to the Triumph 650 and the Yamaha XS-1 650. The Enfield is the current zenith of the 650-c.c. twin, air cooled motorcycle with its six-speed transmission. I remember the Triumph Road Racing motorcycles of 1967-69.
Be interesting to see this done on an older model Enfield; they didn't have flip up pegs, it was just a metal bar shoved through the frame. You'd lean too far and suddenly have the experience of cornering on one wheel and a foot peg.
this is a great what if video. you always think what if about the motorcycle you buy and that what if is taking it to a race track. i know you guys were disappointed with th adv stuff but you really seem to shine with the content in this video
Rearsets and handle from gt650, better rims and tyres, filter, Ecu remap, 2x1 exhaust should do the trick. I say buying a RE 650 is like buying an blank canvas to work on.
@@wanabetruckerdave3776 obviously it is not made to do track. It’s like asking you to do twisties with your truck. In that regard the truck will feel like a PoS, even if it isn’t.
@@Thegeekishnerd13 we arent talking about trucks, we are talking about bikes, spend the time and money on that bike and ll you'll have is a gloried moped
@@wanabetruckerdave3776 if that’s what your opinion is, I feel sad for you. Bikes are so much more than the sum of its parts. And it’s not about the Royal Enfield.
Enjoyed your video, and that’s saying something as I’m not easily amused. At the end you talk about better tires and more power. The RE Interceptor is not race material, it’s a simple cruiser. You would need to at the least need to have a RE GT , with the S&S 865cc kit, modified head to match, new stage 2 cam, new free flow exhaust, new dna air filter or eliminate the air box completely, and install better big air filters. new ECU with mapping capability. New sticky tires, new upgraded front and rear shocks. Remove the center stand and side stand. Then 4,000 usd later you will have a bike maybe as good as your friend’s Suzuki sv650. The Royal Enfield is just nice beginner bikes and for older riders that don’t need to go over 110mph. But I’m very impressed with how well you did with the stock RE Interceptor. The GT foot peg support plates , rear brake , and arm mount, shift levers will work on the interceptor. But best to just get a GT if your going to do all that.
You def need better tyres, change the rear wheel from 18in to 17in, get some 150/60, or even 160/60 r17, you def need to change the front sprocket to 14teeth, s&s race exhaust, k&n air filter with stage 2 air filter cover, and get some clip-on action for goodness’ sake. Looking forward to your next RE track day video! Keep watchin yammie noooob!
I drag metal everywhere on my Enfield Interceptor on mountain roads that are 30-40 mph speed limits. 40 wheezing HP at the rear wheel isn't much but it's a hoot to ride a 60's British bike without the 60's British bike problems

The Continental GT would've been more suitable. Same specs but it at least seats somewhat like a race bike.

I was definitely entertained! Thanks for that.
this is why sometimes it's fun to race with slow bikes coz you really squeezing the last amount of it's capabilities. super awesome
Next up on YN. Trying to fly in a submarine.
There is a bore kit for royal enfield that increases its HP to 65
Why not just buy a 65hp bike? That way, you'll bet the brakes and suspension to match.
@@davidbesant cos it’s not an enfield … simple answer n everyone don’t have to have the same taste as u
Hahaha “Man, he is really taking me to Gapplebee’s” made me really chuckle
Great content Yammie. That was fun.
Will do 👍🏾
I felt like this at Cadwell on my SV when 180hp litre bikes came past.
RE lack of cornering clearance but that was epic race against sb650 🤣🤣
Be interesting to see this done on an older model Enfield; they didn't have flip up pegs, it was just a metal bar shoved through the frame. You'd lean too far and suddenly have the experience of cornering on one wheel and a foot peg.
Not sure if your scraping pegs or the centre stand?
Blood funny
this is a great what if video. you always think what if about the motorcycle you buy and that what if is taking it to a race track. i know you guys were disappointed with th adv stuff but you really seem to shine with the content in this video
Rearsets and handle from gt650, better rims and tyres, filter, Ecu remap, 2x1 exhaust should do the trick. I say buying a RE 650 is like buying an blank canvas to work on.
and after you spend all that time and money it will still be a POS 💩💩
@@wanabetruckerdave3776 obviously it is not made to do track. It’s like asking you to do twisties with your truck. In that regard the truck will feel like a PoS, even if it isn’t.
@@Thegeekishnerd13 we arent talking about trucks, we are talking about bikes, spend the time and money on that bike and ll you'll have is a gloried moped
@@wanabetruckerdave3776 if that’s what your opinion is, I feel sad for you. Bikes are so much more than the sum of its parts.
And it’s not about the Royal Enfield.
I think what would be more interesting is the Rocket 3 out there ...
Hey, check out gt cup, it's a race event conducted by Enfield with slight modifications of road going continental gt650
But how much fun did he have.. laughing and riding.. so much fun..
Enjoyed your video, and that’s saying something as I’m not easily amused.
At the end you talk about better tires and more power. The RE Interceptor is not race material, it’s a simple cruiser.
You would need to at the least need to have a RE GT , with the S&S 865cc kit, modified head to match, new stage 2 cam, new free flow exhaust, new dna air filter or eliminate the air box completely, and install better big air filters. new ECU with mapping capability. New sticky tires, new upgraded front and rear shocks. Remove the center stand and side stand. Then 4,000 usd later you will have a bike maybe as good as your friend’s Suzuki sv650. The Royal Enfield is just nice beginner bikes and for older riders that don’t need to go over 110mph. But I’m very impressed with how well you did with the stock RE Interceptor. The GT foot peg support plates , rear brake , and arm mount, shift levers will work on the interceptor. But best to just get a GT if your going to do all that.
Yes absolutely do a little track build/upgrade on that Royal Enfield!
been following this royal enfield for the memes and its been oddly satisfying. good video
most fun track video in long time,cant wait for part 2 hehe
My Interceptor is in the corner crying now...thanks, Yammie. Jeeez. lol
that's why he is yammie "NOOB"
You def need better tyres, change the rear wheel from 18in to 17in, get some 150/60, or even 160/60 r17, you def need to change the front sprocket to 14teeth, s&s race exhaust, k&n air filter with stage 2 air filter cover, and get some clip-on action for goodness’ sake. Looking forward to your next RE track day video! Keep watchin yammie noooob!
Try riding a busa here in india then we will see how much you miss the RE. Bro 🤣🤣🫡
I drag metal everywhere on my Enfield Interceptor on mountain roads that are 30-40 mph speed limits. 40 wheezing HP at the rear wheel isn't much but it's a hoot to ride a 60's British bike without the 60's British bike problems
Don’t forget to chat to the guys in the UK who build big bore kits and camshafts for those engines as well? More power would definitely be beneficial.
I have one and I thought this was hilarious. It’s not what the bike is made for, but it’s still funny.
Okay I will take an harley on our typical indain roads and lets see how long it can survive😂
What a great video! Owner of a Int650, and in the past a 1st gen SV
