Inty 650 - an amazing bike

5000-15000 km

The int 650 is an amazing bike and i love every minute of riding it. After my experience of owning a himalayan (bs iii first edition) which was a lemon. I promised myself that i am never ever going with an Indian manufacturer of bikes and even cars however rosy it may look on the outside. This changed (not for cars though) the moment i test-drove an interceptor for the fun of it. The color variant (ravishing red) i wanted was available off-the-shelf and didn't think twice before i bought one. My daily drive to the office and back totaling approximately 70kms was amazing and i simply didn't want to get off the bike at the end of the ride. In fact, traveling to the office became a pleasure for me because i could drive this amazing bike. The looks are top notch and the performance from day one was excellent. The build quality is excellent and the company really spent time reviewing and testing before commercial production. There are no worries of nuts and bolts falling off due to vibrations. Heating was a challenge till the first service post which it reduced or maybe i got used to it. But then this is a 650cc bike some heating will be there. At 6'0 feet and 110kg this bike was perfectly suited for me as the added weight gave more stability at high speeds. Excellent low-end torque means you can pull out of traffic with ease. The engine is extremely refined and the clutch is butter smooth to shift. The bike wants you to push it and it will take it. Heavy as it is at 202 kgs it's not easy to maneuver in traffic but on the highways, it comes into its own and you will feel you are driving a car. Unless you look at the speedo and get that wind blast you will not know the speed which can easily cross 100 kms. I have had no problems with service and i diligently get it serviced every 5 - 6000 kms though the company says 10,000 kms is enough. Maintenance of the sprocket and chain every 500 - 600 kms is a must for long life. The sweet spot is the exhaust. Post crossing around 3500 - 4000 kms the exhaust developed a grunt that is music to my ears and have not needed to replace it with aftermarket ones. The rearview mirrors are usable even at speeds above 100 kms as there are zero vibrations from the engine. Now the cons: the stock seat is one big issue and i got it replaced with an aftermarket one even before the first service. Stock headlights are decent but I got it replaced with after-market led headlights and blinkers, and installed hazard lights too. Stock pirelli (bs iii version) was good and comfortable but not too many after-market options are available for 18" inchers. I have found the brakes to be decent and abs works too but not enough bite. Would have been good if it was a switchable abs but then there are workarounds. Shocks are on the firmer side and bad roads will give you a jarring ride but not enough to impact your back. Being heavy, the bike is not conducive for short rides to your neighborhood stores (wasn't meant for it anyways !). Pillion riders especially the taller ones will keep cribbing as it is really uncomfortable riding posture. Make sure pillion riders keep their feet on the footpegs only as the exhaust is only an inch or so below and its extremely hot and can easily scorch their feet or leg. Removing is easy but refitting the rear tyre is not that simple in case of a puncture. Alloy wheels would have been good but i guess given the weight and riding mechanics spokes are better suited for this bike.
The bike is extremely stable and if your riding posture is right pothole or not - you will land on your feet (wheels ) every time. There are hundreds of after-market accessories for the 650 twins that depending on your tastes you can modify/upgrade.
Those planning on buying the interceptor need not think twice. This bike will give you an experience you will not regret. Btw ....I have been riding bikes for 35+ years now starting with the yezdi (the original one).

The way it rides man you will fall in love with it. Might be heavy for new users but you get used to it. The engine just gets hot so fast but that's because of the 650cc engine. The weight balance is also great and one loves to ride it. The smoothness and the power are just great I ride it safe at 80-85 but as a new rider, one can push to 150 easily.

This bike is an absolute beast. Excellent work by Royal Enfield. If you ride decently it gives 25 milage. You can have a better experience with it before going to any top-end bike.

Best bike. from Royal Enfield. Owning it makes you feel proud. No competition from anyone, any brand. Royal Enfield is the original. Rest are trying to copy. You don't even have to think before buying a Royal Enfield. A brand that has been trusted for years Long rides as well as city rides are comfortable and always a pleasure.

The buying experience was good, not much hassle. Coming to the riding pleasure, it stands out in the power and smoothness segment. There is just enough power to stay engaged. The only issue is the seat, it's not that comfortable.
The bike looks almost perfect as a retro motorcycle from all angles. Service is slightly costlier, especially the brake pads they are damn expensive.
Pros- Good power, looks, and value for money.
Cons- seat comfort and mileage

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

Nitesh Kumar Cv
I would say plenty of things about THE ROYAL ENFIELD INTERCEPTOR 650
I love the way it performs on streets and long drives especially when it comes to handling corners is on point.
I haven't owned this vehicle, but I've driven quite a long drive with my buddies
The throttle response makes me shiver through my bones I'm in love with this beast !! Someday I'm gonna own this.
Speaking of comfortably I have no complaints I've driven around 400 km nonstop with no back pain the seating posture is so good.
It has some heating issues of course it's 650 CC what can you expect from the hot beast ( but the company should improve with oil cooling radiators )
One thing left to say buy it without hesitation if you are a long-drive drive enthusiastic person who performs very well in all terrains. I recommend it.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650: A Rider’s Tale
16 weeks ago
Bhavesh Patel
My journey with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 began with a seamless buying experience. The dealership was professional, making the process easy and enjoyable. Riding the Interceptor 650 was an immediate thrill. Its 648cc engine offered smooth, powerful performance, and the bike's retro design turned heads wherever I went.
Performance-wise, the Interceptor excelled on highways and handled city rides with ease. The braking system was reliable, but the suspension felt stiff on rough roads, which was a slight downside on longer trips. Servicing was straightforward, with parts readily available, although maintaining the chrome fittings required extra care.
The bike's pros included its powerful engine, smooth handling, and classic looks. It was versatile enough for both city commutes and long tours. On the downside, the suspension's stiffness on uneven roads and the bike's weight could be challenging for some riders.
Overall, the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 delivered an exhilarating riding experience with a few minor drawbacks, making it a worthy addition for any motorcycle enthusiast.
Positive Points:
$ Powerful engine
$ Smooth handling
$ Classic, head-turning design
$ Versatile for city and long-distance rides
Negative Points:
$ Stiff suspension on rough roads
$ Heavy weight can be challenging for some riders
$ Extra care needed for chrome fittings

Regularly lubricate the chain and adjust the suspension for comfort. Use high-octane fuel and maintain tire pressure. Smooth throttle control improves fuel efficiency. Manage engine heat in traffic, install an engine guard, and consider a custom seat for long rides. Check brake pads frequently and keep ECU software updated.

650 interceptor is my love❤
18 weeks ago
Devansh Pandey
Classic design, smooth power delivery, comfortable ergonomics, and extensive service network. Some riders may find it heavy, with occasional quality issues. But I love it when I get on it and its exhaust gives a feeling that non-bikes can give and I especially love to ride it in rainy seasons. If anyone wants to buy it do dont think about the cost because this bike was my dream to ride.

Interceptor 650 is a very reliable bike in that price segment
It gives a very good comfort.
The looks are very good and very impressive.
The performance is very superb.
Service and maintenance are also very price-worthy.
It is very good on every terrain. The only con is the high heat in the engine only in city rides.

Firstly mileage!!
You get approximately 18!
And if ur adding an aftermarket exhaust you get almost 14!
You will hate this bike in traffic cause of heat and weight of the bike
You will love this bike in highways
Service is pretty decent not that good nor that bad
And the common problem is brake or clutch lever brakes easily
If punctured you should take it to the service center and they remove the tyres and give and we should go close the puncture and come to that things sucks cause no puncher shop closes the puncher of this bike cause of the sensors in the wheel its too risky so they just don’t do it!

Firstly mileage!!
You get approximately 18!
And if ur adding an aftermarket exhaust you get almost 14!
You will hate this bike in traffic cause of heat and weight of the bike
You will love this bike in highways
Service is pretty decent not that good nor that bad
And the common problem is brake or clutch lever brakes easily
If punctured you should take it to the service center and they remove the tyres and give and we should go close the puncture and come to that things sucks cause no puncher shop closes the puncher of this bike cause of the sensors in the wheel its too risky so they just don’t do it!

The way it rides man you will fall in love with it. Might be heavy for new users but you get used to it. The engine just gets hot so fast but that's because of the 650cc engine. The weight balance is also great and one loves to ride it. The smoothness and the power are just great I ride it safe at 80-85 but as a new rider, one can push to 150 easily.

This bike is an absolute beast. Excellent work by Royal Enfield. If you ride decently it gives 25 milage. You can have a better experience with it before going to any top-end bike.

Best bike of india
7 weeks ago
Ashish Chawla
Best bike. from Royal Enfield. Owning it makes you feel proud. No competition from anyone, any brand. Royal Enfield is the original. Rest are trying to copy. You don't even have to think before buying a Royal Enfield. A brand that has been trusted for years Long rides as well as city rides are comfortable and always a pleasure.

Excellent value for money bike
13 weeks ago
Amarendra Sasmal
The buying experience was good, not much hassle. Coming to the riding pleasure, it stands out in the power and smoothness segment. There is just enough power to stay engaged. The only issue is the seat, it's not that comfortable.
The bike looks almost perfect as a retro motorcycle from all angles. Service is slightly costlier, especially the brake pads they are damn expensive.
Pros- Good power, looks, and value for money.
Cons- seat comfort and mileage

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650
16 weeks ago
Nitesh Kumar Cv
I would say plenty of things about THE ROYAL ENFIELD INTERCEPTOR 650
I love the way it performs on streets and long drives especially when it comes to handling corners is on point.
I haven't owned this vehicle, but I've driven quite a long drive with my buddies
The throttle response makes me shiver through my bones I'm in love with this beast !! Someday I'm gonna own this.
Speaking of comfortably I have no complaints I've driven around 400 km nonstop with no back pain the seating posture is so good.
It has some heating issues of course it's 650 CC what can you expect from the hot beast ( but the company should improve with oil cooling radiators )
One thing left to say buy it without hesitation if you are a long-drive drive enthusiastic person who performs very well in all terrains. I recommend it.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650: A Rider’s Tale
16 weeks ago
Bhavesh Patel
My journey with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 began with a seamless buying experience. The dealership was professional, making the process easy and enjoyable. Riding the Interceptor 650 was an immediate thrill. Its 648cc engine offered smooth, powerful performance, and the bike's retro design turned heads wherever I went.
Performance-wise, the Interceptor excelled on highways and handled city rides with ease. The braking system was reliable, but the suspension felt stiff on rough roads, which was a slight downside on longer trips. Servicing was straightforward, with parts readily available, although maintaining the chrome fittings required extra care.
The bike's pros included its powerful engine, smooth handling, and classic looks. It was versatile enough for both city commutes and long tours. On the downside, the suspension's stiffness on uneven roads and the bike's weight could be challenging for some riders.
Overall, the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 delivered an exhilarating riding experience with a few minor drawbacks, making it a worthy addition for any motorcycle enthusiast.
Positive Points:
$ Powerful engine
$ Smooth handling
$ Classic, head-turning design
$ Versatile for city and long-distance rides
Negative Points:
$ Stiff suspension on rough roads
$ Heavy weight can be challenging for some riders
$ Extra care needed for chrome fittings

Tips for other riders
Regularly lubricate the chain and adjust the suspension for comfort. Use high-octane fuel and maintain tire pressure. Smooth throttle control improves fuel efficiency. Manage engine heat in traffic, install an engine guard, and consider a custom seat for long rides. Check brake pads frequently and keep ECU software updated.

650 interceptor is my love❤
18 weeks ago
Devansh Pandey
Classic design, smooth power delivery, comfortable ergonomics, and extensive service network. Some riders may find it heavy, with occasional quality issues. But I love it when I get on it and its exhaust gives a feeling that non-bikes can give and I especially love to ride it in rainy seasons. If anyone wants to buy it do dont think about the cost because this bike was my dream to ride.

Review of interceptor 650
19 weeks ago
Ricky Priyanshu
Interceptor 650 is a very reliable bike in that price segment
It gives a very good comfort.
The looks are very good and very impressive.
The performance is very superb.
Service and maintenance are also very price-worthy.
It is very good on every terrain. The only con is the high heat in the engine only in city rides.
