Royal Enfield has launched the Interceptor 650 BS6 in India. The motorcycle is available in six colours that have varying price tags.
The most affordable colours are the Mark Three, Silver Spectre and Orange Crush priced at Rs 2,64,919; a premium of Rs 8,547 over the BS4 model. Then there are the dual-tone Baker Express and Ravishing Red colours which cost Rs 2,72, 806. As compared to the previous model, these demand a premium of Rs 8,777. Moreover, the top-of-the-line Glitter and Dust paint scheme carries a sticker price of Rs 2,85,951 which is an additional Rs 9,160 over the BS4 model.
Powering the Interceptor 650 is the same, 648cc, parallel-twin, air-cooled engine with a fuel-injection system. However, this motor has been revised for BS6 compliance which has altered the power figures marginally. It now puts out 46.8bhp at 7150rpm. In comparison, the BS4 model produced 47bhp at 7250rpm. Nevertheless, its peak torque of 52Nm continues to come in at 5250rpm.
Besides a slightly revised engine, the BS6-compliant Interceptor 650 remains the same. Bookings for the Interceptor 650 had already commenced a few weeks ago and the motorcycle has also started reaching dealerships across the country.
