    I ride a Himalayan which is a different animal but this Interceptor sure is tempting. The looks, the sound and the power would win me over.

    Thanks Kate for the walk around of the R. E. I think it's a beautiful bike myself... I love the classic looks of the "re-tro" bikes. I can't wait for your full on test of this bike.

    Great 1st impression thoughts Kate, I've had my Glitter & Dust 2019 since 2020 and the fun factor is amazing , done a fair few mods to mine now but that's another thing I love about the Interceptor you can easily make it your own with simple bolt on parts and accessories , Last summer I rode my Interceptor more than my Tiger Sport so that says something , enjoy while you have it safe riding out there 😁

  • @chrisgraham5186
    @chrisgraham5186 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Your reference to 'modern bar end mirrors' made me smile… Halcyon… and others… still make reproductions of the Stadium mirrors introduced before world war two. They suit my Interceptor really well, and unlike the RE ones, can be folded in for clearance when parked or filtering.
    Regarding your comment when pushing the bike backwards, has yours had the lifting handle (for putting the bike on its centre stand) removed?… It's much easier to reach than the grab rail behind the seat.
    I've had my Interceptor since June 2019, and still love it. They're so much more than they appear on paper.

    Hi Kate, great upload and into to the interceptor, glad you're recovering too. I'm so drawn to buying one but with a stable of 3, can't really justify it although I feel it's what I should buy next. I look forward to further uploads on this, take care and all the very best to you.

  • @adammcallister2260
    @adammcallister2260 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That LED headlight really brings this up to date. IMO, the halogen looks dated rather than retro. The dials, too. Just a modern spritz on them would still keep the retro feel but with a more 2023 appearance. That black paint scheme though? Yes please! Looks fantastic.
    Looks like a promising bike. Nice video, Kate.

  • @NooBiker
    @NooBiker ปีที่แล้ว +6

    It's a decent bike at a very nice price. I like how Royal Enfield are keeping it simple and basic. Good sensible motorcycling. I love my Royal Enfield Himalayan and had a very good impression of the Interceptor when I rode it a couple of years ago.

  • @neilcrumpton2260
    @neilcrumpton2260 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Kate, there is a lot of weight and performance loss in the barmy exhaust system ie armour-plated silencers and double-walled headers (each with a cat converter). Replacing both is costly but the weight saving is considerable eg 10 kg and the bike transforms - surprisingly easy to push and lean (new shocks also reduce weight over the standard duds). The bike is powered down (presumably to access the A2 market) so with a better exhaust (inc hi-flow cat) and a hot cam (doable without head removal) then dyno runs go from 42 to 55 ish horsepower back-wheel ! My 2019 Interceptor has the classic black tank with silver rims and trims (much like my Trident I sold 40 years ago). I don't like the grey engine paint and eradicating the unnecessarily cheap and cheap-looking side panel transfers is difficult (they are clear-coated over) but gold lettering or brass nameplate adds to looks (in my view). Great bike for patrolling the A and B roads of Snowdonia. I'm often wondering why RE don't do an 850cc version - essentially a barrel change...

    @56Spookdog ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice looking bike especially in the color combination of Sunset Strip (insert them song from 77 Sunset Strip) even though the engine looks a bit clunky. Must be my age but I think the bar end mirrors are old school. Looking forward to your review.

    • @johnjones4621

  • @larsgustafsson1712
    @larsgustafsson1712 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like the classic look, and red and black is fine on that bike. Sure would be nice with a bit more horsepower sometimes. It'll be interesting to see what you think of it on the road.

    • @althescottishbiker
      @althescottishbiker ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I had a demo yesterday and while it’s lacking hp it has plenty of torque. It’s not fast, but it’s adequate. Ride safe.

    Hi Kate i have a 22 plate interceptor I personally think it's OK I no it could be better but you buy it for the price and it looking old just like this old fart lol yes it could be better mine is a red and chrome one but love it for its looks and may do the suspension one day I have had 180 miles to a tank full doing various speeds lol hope your fingers and wrist get better soon enjoy your ride on the interceptor just take the sighs in that's what's it's all about and the new ones look good blacked out

    Bar end mirrors are far from modern, my brother had them on his 60s Beeza cafe racer.

    I agree it's the best standard colourway for the bike. Plenty of good things about the Interceptor but I can't get past the tacky, cheap indicators, bad design on footpegs location and the awful shaped and uncomfortable seat.

    They’re a strange bike, mediocre in almost every way on paper, yet engaging and as much fun as anything I’ve ridden. Don’t ride it like a 900 sports bike, it won’t make sense. It’s speciality is being just an ordinary bike, economical, quick enough, yet cheap as chips. It doesn’t challenge more modern bikes, it’s created it’s own market in the UK amongst Classic bike riders who can’t keep their hands off them. And no TFT or ESA to go wrong!

    I'm 60 years old and have been riding continuously for 42 years, so I'm the exact demographic this bike is aimed at, but even for me it's a retro step too far back. It's a pretty thing for sure and maybe in ten years, assuming we aren't all riding around on giant batteries, I'll consider it, but not quite yet. Nice bike though
