I would not recommend that.. the bike will look ugly… this is not cruiser bike like meteor or super meteor wherr even if u add the back rest it will look good and the riding position will help it in case of interceptor 650 the position is upright with rear set foot pegs so having a back rest for rider doesn’t help
pls aap bata sakte hai ki jab interceptor ya gt launch hui thi tab on road kitni thi aur 2022 me kitni...i mean to say how much ruppes has it increased
Generally l, spoke wheels are tube tyres…n alloy wheels get tubeless one However the stock tyres for int 650 are tubeless only since they get spoke wheels they added tubes inside tubeless tyres..
Ya instead changing headlights fog lamps are good… u can use them as needed where as headlights will be in use continuously… M not sure of good fog light brands… so comment on that
Not really, you can modify seat, handle, tyres, suspension and all but not engine related stuff then it will get lapese.. basic warranty is for 2 years and Company only gives engine warranty.. of 50km or 5 years..i believe
For me light upgrade is must, stock light are not optimum for night driving. Another is seat. The suspension works for me because I don't drive much bad patches of road for long
No bro, only if u change any electrical item or performance oriented changes like exhaust that will not eligible for warranty but if u want to add u can add just make sure to remove them when u take to service for company
@@shaik_rides I got it made a little fat coz I travel 70 kms to and fro office everyday. Hence I need a little cushioning under me to avoid painful butt everyday!
@@baharagaming9428 update ? is it still comfortable? where u got it done from? tbh i like electra seat more comfortable on interceptor my butts becomes red xD
@@loki4171 Yeah! It's still comfortable for the rider but not that comfortable for the pillion. The entire sitting position for the pillion itself is not so comfortable in interceptor! The electra seat looks a bit oversized for interceptor! Seats sleek from sides usually look better on retro classic bikes like Interceptor!
Do the hands get pain during long drive on this Bike ?? क्या हथेली मे दर्द होता हे long Drive करने मे ?? Please answer honestly, I am planning to buy this otherwise i will buy SG 650 ..
It is touring seat of gt650 costed 4k from RE showroom only, upon that i have put seat cover from local shop costing 300/-... if you do long trips or daily more than 20km only then go fo touring seat, if not stock should suffice you, The problem with these seats are they are very slim n narrow, if you want wider seats only then after market seats will help you. Go to any local shop they will make a good one in lesser price buying online like (sahara seats) will cost 40 to 50% more.
Dont need to upgrade the exhaust, and you dont need alloy wheels. Just get it puncture-proofed with Way 2 Speed kit. But yes, you should upgrade the Headlight with a proven LED headlight. The headlight is just useless.
Bro, Touring seat, engine sump guard and fork gaiters are from RE showroom. Zana Back rest with rack and zana crash guard are from zana website i got. Other things like handle bar raisers from amazon and pre load adjusters i got directly from the guy who sells, watch my video on pre load adjusters in my channel i have mentioned same.
With decent ride style in city it will give 25kmpl and with rash and rough usage of acceleration with speeds above 100kmph every now and then .. then it will give 22 to 23kmpl.. Full tank should give 300km on high ways and 250 to 270 kms in city..
Hello bro....as i am looking forward to buy Enfield bike.... But confused which to buy.... because classic 350 is common nowdays..... I am looking for high power engines Should I go for Himalayan or interceptor 650... Because i would be travelling inside city as well as long rides... please suggest me...which one to go......
If you want top class performance in budget yes RE twins is good choice. Himalayan is good but it lags performance in highways. Both weight almost same, you got to do little modifications to make interceptor 650 as per your comfort on highways. Like seat and suspension. Depend on your height the handle bar raisers also. Interceptor 650 can be ridden like duke 390 also and like cruiser also. Or wait for another year or so where Himalayan 650 will be launched😊
@@shaik_rides thank you so much brother.... basically i am 5.10", weight about 82kg...so I am ready for modification in interceptor 650...like in seat, suspension,handle bar, everything..... For making it comfort....1nce again thank you....bhai....
@@SoumendraBagh not really… when pillion sits normally he or she would eventually pushed back as the bikes starts moving and back rest does provide a support. But it is different that he the pillion sits close to rider then the back rest is far reach.
Bro, it depends on your usage, let me know if it is for more of daily commute, more highway rides, more off roading, more like showing off… Based on this the best bike comes in to the picture. Also, if you want above all… things to be done in a bike… Then it is difficult to buy best bike…
I buy your point, however, it depends on the usage... if you are frequent traveler and do a lot of off roading then yes you need windscreen and alloy wheels that makes interceptor a tubeless one.. But if you are occasional traveller and use bike for city roads n for daily commute then the stock should be fine. Remind you the stock tyres are tubless since they are spoke wheels tube is been used with these tyres.
Most of them are little costly compare to after market accessories. However, you can go for touring seat, sump guard (engine guard plate at down), fork gaiters, if required wind shield( not necessary) , crash guard( better to take from zana check my video on it) back rest including carrier( again better take from zana) That should do I believe. Hope this helped you👍🏻
Fort gaiters will look more retro… and they serve the purpose like making sure the dust does not go inside the forks…… my advice is you should go for it.. but installation will take time.. not a simple one
I am looking for a bike. I will be riding 15 -20 km daily in city conditions with odd 50 km at weekend. Occasionally I may travel 200 km. For the long rides, I will be accompanied by my better half in the pillion and my kid of 10 years. Can I consider interceptor as an option or should I go with classic 350. For me classic has become to much common. Also share your thoughts on the heating issues in city traffic. Thanks in advance.
Hello Sisir, Thanks for the question, It is very difficult to nit pick and say the bike for your needs as other factors do come in picture. interceptor 650 is not family friendly or pillion friendly as it has upswept exhaust n the pillion foot rest is little rear set, it will do the job but not that comfortably, you will have to some modifications to suit your family comfort. The biggest positive of having interceptor 650 is that it has more power as it is twin cylinder and when u go highways you can be in a speed of 120kmph all day and the bike wont wont trouble you for anything also the price factor. Yes, it tends to heat up in city traffic if you ride bumper to bumper traffic as it is oil cooled only with twin cylinder. Coming to your needs… any bike of 250 cc and above should do your job comfortably, modren bikes like dominor, duke, fz250, gixxer 250 in retro style you got classic 350 and meteor 350 , jawa, honda cb 350 all these will do the job. But all have pros n cons respectively. However my suggestion would be, if you requirement is going fast in highways like you speeding up to 140kmph then dont buy any retro classic bikes, they wont do that with ease. Modren bikes will do it easily for you if you are looking for performance and speed. But if you are planning to keep a bike for long time, keeping cost as affordable, reliable, comfort for family and looking top speed of 120km to 130km Then i would suggest the new classic 350 (next gen one with new engine that launched month back and not old one) and meteor 350. These bikes have good engine, comfort, suits for daily commute and for weekend rides, looks and service cost is affordable. Honda cb 350 also does this but i believe the service cost can go high, coming jawa jawa’s engine is not that good compared with cb350 and classic 350. The retro bikes you cannot rush fast in city or ride aggressively. Like you can do in modren bikes, if you are a calm and mellow rider then go for retro style bikes(with alloy wheels) If you want speed performance aggressive riding in city then go for modern bikes. Hope I answered your question.
@@shaik_rides Thanks for your well explained response. I have clearly got my answer. At 45+ I am not going to rush at 120+ speed, rather I am going to enjoy my ride leisurely. A retro style with adequate comfort will do a lot to me. Though classic 350 has become too common but it justifies its reliability. Thanks again for your kind response.
I am glad you figured it out, meteor is better option if you feel classic 350 looks very common. It has the same engine, chassis and performance. .

Are the Spoke wheels tubeless? I thought only the alloy wheel variant is tubeless
Generally l, spoke wheels are tube tyres…n alloy wheels get tubeless one
However the stock tyres for int 650 are tubeless only since they get spoke wheels they added tubes inside tubeless tyres..
@@shaik_rides so if they get punctured will it be difficult to repair?
Yea, u need to repatch the puncture as u do old style remove the tyre and tube
bro,HJG or any other good foglamps are so useful in highway instead of changing headlights

In terms of seat, pillion comfort has increased however the problem actually for pillion is the rear foot rest that are set little high.

Large windscreen and a tubeless system is a much needed change in interceptor because the aftermarket puncture solutions are pretty rubbish.
