Reviews of Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

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.

About the Reviewer

Best in class if we compare it to other 650 cc segment, pocket friendly
Classic retro look and performance and pickup is like time traveling. Vroom it’s been 1 year I am riding this machine. I took it for touring as well Almost covered 9k km on this. Words are not enough to explain. No other Indian made bike can cross you and it’s a beast with no experience.

About the Reviewer

My interceptor 650 bs4 (orange crush)is giving me a healthy mileage of 32-33 km/litre on highway when I am cruising at constant speed of 80-85 km/hour.
While, in city mileage is somewhere from around 22-24 km/litre.
1)all in all it's a very reliable machine and I personally find it most stable at speeds of 120-130 km/h.
Though you start to experience heavy wind blast when you cross 100 km/h mark.
2)ergonomics are excellent for 6 feet tall guy (you will get a urge to stretch your legs once in every 2 hours of continuous riding). Also seat is quite narrow but still manageable, if you are on little bit skinny side.
3) front foot pegs were placed at little awkward position but after sometime you will get familiar with them and you will stop scraping your legs with them.
4) stock exhaust sound is melodious. Once engine get warmed up, rumbling sound of exhaust will become more and more heavier and louder to the point that it will give you eargasm (trust me its that melodious when you ride it at correct rpms ).
5) tyre grip is good giving loads of confidence at corners.
also, digital fuel gauge sometimes act erratically.

About the Reviewer

I waited for 4.5 months before laying my hands on the INT 650, decent service and buying experience
The bike is for the feelers ,the classics and the who want a balance of show and go..excellent response from engine and clutch...clutch feels a tad bit heavy tho...looks an absolute charm...with the baker express paint scheme.easily hits cruising speeds...
RE have tried to keep it simple and have succeeded..not many techie bits ,tho a gear indicator would've been nice..decent beginner bike .
one you would cherish for years and will want to pass it down to your children.

About the Reviewer

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).

Riding High on the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650
I have been cruising the roads on my Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 for a good few months now and it has been a thrilling journey! With a robust 648cc parallel twin engine, it effortlessly delivers about 47 horsepower and 52 Nm of torque makes every ride smooth and powerful. The 6 speed gearbox with its slip assist clutch allows for seamless gear transitions, enhancing the ride experience.What really stands out is its retro charm combined with modern performance. The dual cradle frame design is not only sturdy but also ensures stable handling at high speeds.

About the Reviewer

Fell in love with the bike on the very first ride. I was never a royal enfield fan because of the kind of vibrations and feel it gave. But after riding interceptor i was totally impressed. The bike is so refined, smooth and punchy. Although the bike is on heavier side , you can easily take it over city traffic and maneuver in cities. Couldn't wait to get my hands on the machine.
