Reviews of Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

Everything is perfect about this bike but the fuel capacity w.r.t mileage is very low, till now i did ride for about 500 kms on all roads i really feel comfortable and completely satisfied about the bike,the engine heats up very quickly in the traffic,and we can feel the heat passing below the legs, think i made a right choice buying this bike, let's see..

About the Reviewer

I got the interceptor 650 bakers express as my 21st birthday gift from my parents. I have clocked 600+km on my bike and i have to say that this bike truly has two characters. You can ride it in a calm and sedate manner somewhere around 3000 rpm and it cruises through gracefully. When you rev it hard, it behaves totally differently and will definitely put a smile on your face. I have been getting around 16-25 km/l depending on the way i ride and it is really good for a 650cc, 210 kg bike.The looks of the bike are proper retro. You could take this bike into the 80's and other than the exceptional fit and finish, the bike would just blend it. It is beautiful to look at. All the curves paired with the round headlamp and the rectangular side indicators and the 18" spoke rims really do give it an unique charm. The brakes on the 650 are just phenomenal. I saw in a couple of reviews where it posed shorter braking distance than even the ktm duke 390 and kawasaki ninja 300 and i can confirm it is true. The brakes are extremely precise and the abs does what it's supposed to. You can come comfortably to a halt from speeds upto 160 km/h within a few seconds.Another great aspect of the bike is the handling. For a bike that weighs over 200 kg and is also quite long the bike is very agile. You can maneuver it in the city without feeling like you will fall. The shifts are extremely precise and except from a couple of occasional false neutrals due to my own action of not moving the gear lever the entire way i have no issues with the clutch or the gearbox.The downsides of the bike have to be the lack of instrumentation information , fogging in the instrumentation and the unbelievably stupid placement of the foot pegs.

Bikes power is good , but some parts material is not good .. Plastic parts make noise some time and it feel cheap..Bike is good for long drive it feel comfortable and reliable for pocket..Back side design is not that good as front. Mileage is also good compare to other companies same power bikes. And also low cost.

I purchased the vehicle a week back after a lot of test rides as the delivery of the bike was delayed by 3 months..I don't regret purchasing this vehicle.This bike has a amazing presence.Commands respect..Has power ontap whenever required..Can idle on city roads with ease .A bit heavy though.Rides a bit hot but is acceptable as riding gear becomes necessary.This bike garners a lot of attention with its retro classic looks and the brand name too adds to its value.Don't mistake this bike for a bullet it is not..No vibrations no lethargy no hesitation..It is the swift and ready to race..It is full of pros .Cons..Only if the rider is underweight and can't spend on riding gear...Other than that..The intercepted 650 in my opinion is the last bike a rider will need to purchase... Then enjoy it value for the rest of the life .

About the Reviewer

Got this bike after 3 months of waiting. And worth the wait!! Incredible experience.
I use it daily, for 1300 kms a month, and never had a trouble.
Riding experience is top class, overtaking has never been so easy/effortless. Proper looks of a retro roadster. Guys with a KTM taste buds will be foolish to buy this.
Quality of the parts is top notch, you can check all over and won't find any cheap finish. Since this is a Global product, RE has left no stone unturned.
Servicing is 2.5K per service, with 1.8K for Engine oil(uses 3.5L to keep itself cool). Gives me about 25 km/l(Range 22/29 in city/highway).
Zero vibration, clean acceleration, a king on the road, great handling.
Yet to find anything negative.

About the Reviewer

Buying & riding, the experience was good. After taking delivery I went to fill the fuel, I noticed inside the petrol tank a small rusting. I thought will inform this later showroom guys after 10 days I reported this when the service team raised this issue to their concerned team, and those technical guys rejected saying that is because of the petrol gun, not rust bla bla. The service center guys told me I had to raise a ticket from my side to re.
Now re guys said they will investigate.
So I would like to suggest you guys before taking delivery of the new bike please to inspect the bike thoroughly.

About the Reviewer

Purchased the bike before the covid19 pandemic and used it for 25kms per day riding to work. Enjoyed the power it had behind the throttle. The engine heat is felt during the hot summers during the daytime in city riding, especially for the first 500kms and 1st servicing, but after that, it becomes bearable. Mileage getting 25kmpl in city riding with keeping the rpm around 3000. After riding for 5000 kms, went on a modifying spree during the lockdown and changed the bike into a totally different-looking beast. Be it the handlebar, mirrors, exhausts, air filter, booster plug, the tail light, indicators, alloy rims, big tyres, front headlight, you name it and I changed it. Now easily does 160kmph cruising speed on highways and keeps the mileage also good around 25 itself in the city.
For people who want to remain in stock, this bike is very good. All the OEM items are of high quality and last long.
For those who are stock rebels, and want to modify the bike, your imagination is the limit. There are so many aftermarket spares available. Can change anything and everything to suit your needs.
Servicing which was not upto the mark in 2019 has improved a lot in 2022 and can get hassle-free service, even sitting at home for the general service.
Rsa is another impressive feature given to all the interceptor owners free of cost for 3 yrs which takes away huge stress of what do to during the breakdown of this beast.
Puncture is the only issue I would say which causes some discomfort in this spoked wheel bike, but rsa takes care of that.

About the Reviewer

1. The buying experience has been smooth.
2. Best bike with a very smooth engine, the bike stays relaxed till 130 KMPH.
3. Retro Classic Modern look blends very well with the bike.
4. Maintenance cost is on the higher side due to break shoe price.
5. Pros: The relaxed parallel twin engine does not scream like singles. The nimble, agile.
Cons: I did not find any. The foot peg position was annoying in traffic gotten used to the springy action now.
