Jumping My Interceptor 650 On A Dirt Track
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.พ. 2025
- Impromptu plans are just the best, aren’t they. The day started with a good friend’s one year TH-cam channel anniversary celebration (Congratulations, DCV) and was to culminate with a ride to Jaipur (about 250 km from Delhi) and back. I wanted to stretch the legs of my Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. After all, I’ve had the bike for two months, and have covered only about 2,000 km. She was begging for a highway cruise.
And then Delhi fog happened.
So, what do we do now? We’ve had multiple cups of tea at Cafe Throttle Shrottle, standing cluelessly. Speedmonks, said Aditya. He wanted to play PUBG.
An awkward silence and some stares later, Yudhvir suggested OTR - Off The Road. A kilometre away and the only Dirt Track that I know of in the National Capital Region.
Mind you, every one was on naked middleweights - Street Triple RS, Ducati Monster 797, Kawasaki Ninja Z650 and the likes.
“They have Hero Impulse, KTM Dukes, you pansies” - Yudhvir made his case.
And off we went.
I tried a KTM Duke on the track first - heart pounding, being a dirt track virgin.
It wasn’t too bad. I kept it upright, no falls. Someone said, try the Impulse next - it is a light bike, meant for such silly stuff.
Another lap later, adrenaline kicked in.
I want to ride the Interceptor around the track, I said, bravado outworking skill at this point of time.
The result, however, was surprisingly good.
The bike is obviously not meant for a dirt track, but dance she can. I had both wheels in the air on a couple of occasions. It landed on the front wheel a lot more than the Impulse and the Duke 200, but that’s due to me releasing the throttle right before take off.
What was surprising was how tiring it can really get. I did some six-seven laps in total of this rather small track and even now, at the time of writing this description, Tuesday 1 am (some 36 hours later), my forearms still hurt.
Talk about being out of shape.
But will I do it again? Absolutely yes.
If you would like to visit OTR as well, it is located on the Gurgaon Faridabad Road.
PS: My Yamaha R15 V3 is still getting tuned. I need about two more weeks before I can make a video on its top speed run. (For those who are awaiting my R15 videos)
Thank you so much for giving me your time.
Keep riding and have a good day.
1:39 when your balls hit on the tank, over a speed breaker....😂😂🤣🤣😆😆
Hahaha. No balls were busted in the making of this video.
@@abhinavbhatt but your reaction was real bro...😉
Hahahahha
Ooof
Most of us are gonna say that you sucked ....??
Hell No you didn't.... That's a 200kgs+ street bike with non-switchable ABS you made jump up and down on dirt.... You did an amazing job... 👌
Keep the rubber side up my friend.... Happy riding 👍
Thanks brother. This is very encouraging. Cheers
I think you meant rubber side down, did you not?
You really did well, beast riding on dirt track is no joke. Definitely need extra skill to control that weight. Well done!
Thank you, Tushar :)
says "I wont jump the bike"
jumps the bike right away
Hahahhaha
Was watching this video in class and it got weird 😂
Hahahahhahah
The audio is that of a panic attack 😆
What do you think I was going through 😂😂
@@abhinavbhatt at most a broken bone, nothing to worry about, chill on the handles and keep practising you will get great lap times.
I'm used to broken bones. Used to be a mountain biker and a skateboarder ✌
In fact, took a tumble on a BMX before the Interceptor ride. That's why was so out of breath.
Need practice and easy on the bars, yes.
That's some awesomeness. Way to go bro, been watching all your videos recently. Totally love the mods on the interceptor. Getting myself one next year. Next time let's ride to Goa. I'm from Goa currently in Pune, but yeah stay is sorted in Goa. Love your vlogs and honest views. Keep riding man, hope to catch up some day.
Thank you. I love Goa. Would love to ride to it again.
@@abhinavbhatt Sure, whenever you get a thought next time..
Kudos man. Really felt at the edge watching this video.
A very active sport indeed, much exhaustive. Cheers to you mate!
Thanks mate. Cheers
I'm surprised the Enfield didn't lose any of its parts yet xD
This one is extremely well put together.
Spotted.
I should be in PAPARAZZI...
WHAT DO YOU SAY MOTOTZIGANE
You were talking about getting a bigger tyre in DCV's video right?! Any info about that, and how does it help? Also, does the rim accommodate a wider section tyre?
Not tried it yet. Not even sure if the rim will take a wider tyre.
wish had a camera shot of the jumps. Would love to see it fly.
Next time for sure. This wasn't planned at all. Just went with the flow.
That was really cool and truth be told I never thought an interceptor would look so cool on a dirt track really that was awesome and great riding too.
You are too kind with your words, sir 🙏
@@abhinavbhatt thank you for the compliment ☺️
A cool & simple video thanks dude and, what's the progress with the v3 ..
Thanks, Aryan. The V3 is almost ready. I need time to test it now.
@@abhinavbhatt sure dude.
Good job there buddy ... with RE n with 200plus KG u did Good in all possible ways ... I was waiting for such review... bcoz I wanna take this bike everywhere without fear ...
Thanks man
Nice ride and you took those jumps very well.
Thanks
Great fun and a good test for the Interceptor. Somebody has already converted one to a dirt track style bike. Maybe you should do so. You can still ride it to work. Enjoy.
Hi Stephen. I am converting mine to a mix of cafe and brat. Wide, low profile sports bike rubber on 17 inch rims, upside down forks, flat bars, rear sets etc.
That is a heavy bike to be jumping the hills. Thanks for posting.
Fun bike though to try such silly stuff. A friend of mine and I are thinking of making a small 150cc four stroke dirt bike to jump around this place.
Grt vid btw...sounds like u were out of breath 😅
I was, brother. And had a cold and fever too. All added to it.
Wow. Great to see and fell it.. Thanks for the video
✌
Interceptor is made to be scrambler. Switchable abs and dual sport tyres will do it all for it
At this point, I like the video first and then watch it.
Thanks, buddy :)
Please tell me should I go for the interceptor 650 or wait for the new dominar🤗🤗
Interceptor any day. Both good bikes though, but Interceptor is smoother.
@@abhinavbhatt thanks buddy I got my answer #interceptor I am coming😂😂
Welcome to the club.
@@abhinavbhatt yuup🥂🍻🍻
Boy oh boy that was a lot of fun to watch
Aditya bro, try it once. You will love it.
"This is so much fun!"
Man, you sound like you're about to have a stroke or heart attack. lol
Good job of not dying though.
Hahaha. Had a bad cold and fever. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Cheers
Any updates on the R15 ?
Btw, for 40k plus you could have gone for RC200 did you consider it and if then what made you buy R15 ?
Hey Nakul. I am yet to ride the R15. Haven't had the time so far. I did not want the RC. I wanted the smallest, lightest possible bike that would help me learn track techniques.
Excellent, you have the guts !
Thank you.
good ....man .. just give a update about ur v3 project the ecu stuff
Tanmay, it is almost ready. I need to find time now to go ride it.
@@abhinavbhatt yeah bruh no matter...do it according to ur time and space...!!!happyriding
Thanks, bro.
Have you changed the original handle bar....which one is this....any reason for the change of handle bar?looks good though
I removed the handlebar brace since I don't care much for that look. This looks nicer in my opinion. The bars are also pulled back towards me for a better riding position.
You're right...looks better without the brace...hope it does not effect the vibrations...
No. Just doesn't.
@@abhinavbhatt that's great...
Hi Abhinav I've been watching your videos 👍 they are good in info really genuine , but could you please tell me how much will it cost for the maintenance of interceptor , in terms of performance , and mainly service and maintenance ? How much will it cost
Where is this place?
Wah bro. Amazing. Where is this track locate?
On Gurgaon Faridabad Road
@@abhinavbhatt thanks, whats the name ?
Off The Road, I think.
@@abhinavbhatt thank you bro.
Most welcome.
Wow bro you really made proud for interceptor. I was searching for some information related to accessories in case if you have could you please advise
RE has a few accessories. Anything specific you looking for?
Heavy breathing why broi?
Good 1 . Dude so u think this one can do wonders if someone 1 fettled with it. For making it lighter. Although It looks like front is heavy as it hits the ground 1st .
That's because I was rolling off the gas. Front didn't seem that heavy to me. But I'm no expert.
pretty nice vid.. very good riding bro.. good know about RS rider, am getting one in 20 days.. just booked.. i like you vid first then watch.. great to see that passion about 2wheels.. keep inspiring man
Thanks brother. The RS is such a lovely bike. Nothing is a better balance in our country than that bike. Wish I could own one. But I'll have to do with my souped up 675.
@@abhinavbhatt all the best brother, hope to meet u someday, Thanks for taking time to reply.. i watch all your vids.. keep posting.. Very very less subs for the passion and talent u carry, my best wishes and hope it grows billions... my RS will be even more happier to meet you.. ride safe brother.. waiting for fully transformed R15 vid..
@@abhinavbhatt love from hyderabad
Thanks bro. The number of subs I couldn't care about. It is the quality that matters and with friends like you, I couldn't ask for more. Cheers
Wondering when you’d show up again bud!!
I am a free bird who prefers the vast expanse of a trail 😉
me after riding for only 2 hours ride then cleaning the bike like hell, i cant just imagine doing this with my Interceptor
Hats off to u man..off roading in RE.. keep posting oyt of d box videos like this..👏
Thanks buddy. I will try to :)
Could you please tell us how you got your wheels painted?
You mean the R15? I took it to a local painter and chose the most non-bling shade of golden that I could find.
Max respect, well done 👍👏👏
Thanks brother ✌
Are those aftermarket handlebars? What bike are they from?
Hi Tauqeer. These are stock bars without the cross brace. They have been pulled back a couple of inches.
@@abhinavbhatt i feel like the bike looks proper now man, with these bars. Try to make a video about these if you can, I've seen a lot of people not liking the cross brace in the stock bars, so this would be great content for you. I like watching your vids mate, keep em coming.
Sure thing. Thanks mate.
Waiting for v3 video is like waiting for someone to save from the cut off nerve,we can't expect when it comes but it will sure soothes me
I will work on it soon, Jaswanth.
@@abhinavbhatt ♥️
Eagerly waitying for your R15 V3's modfications to be completed.
Almost done with Phase 1.
Hardly waiting for the V3 video, when it’s coming
May take two weeks. I have to travel in between.
Which gloves do you use and where to buy it ??
Alpinestars SP2. Should be available at any motorcyle apparel store that deals in Alpinestars.
@@abhinavbhatt Are rynox accessories good ??
And one more question Bhiya
I was confused about the colour of Interceptor between black and silver ??
I have never used Rynox but I have only heard good things about them. Colour has to be your choice.
When is the r15 tuning fishing?
See it is almost ready to ride but I have no time to go to Gurgaon, pick it up and test it on KMP. That can only happen on a Sunday. Sadly, this Sunday I can't. Have to travel for a wedding. Will do it the next one.
Eagerly waiting for that video. Love your videos bro, keep doing the good work.
What's your r15v3 top speed after tuning 💪 175+
Haven't tried it yet. May be 165 if at all.
@@abhinavbhatt ..wow 165 kph superb. ....but late of tuning process late of mony so at least 175 + is perfect match abhinav. ....
But just 150cc bike top speed 165 kph chellenging to 250cc bike nice 💖💪👌👏
See, it may even go up to 170-175, but that will be after we put in the big bore kit. Just need some time to do all of this.
@@abhinavbhatt ..nice 😊😍💖👌👏💪💪💪
@@abhinavbhatt ....I am waiting your r15 v3 next video 😍💪
The title of your video made me laugh. Again a nice video. How would an r15 rider feel on the interceptor. I know they are totally different genres of bikes but still curious.
Thanks, Jitender bhai. The feel is completely different. Very unfair to compare them. But if this helps at all, I have been riding the Interceptor every day for the last two months and refuse to stop, even though I have been extremely unwell for the last month. It just makes you smile.
@@abhinavbhatt ok bhai that gives me the answer i was looking for. Planning to get it for my dad and then we are gonna head for a long ride from Pune, Maharashtra to Ludhiana, Punjab. Thanks for ur reply and do what you are doing. Awesome vlog for it is unusual content and not repeating the same thing. Cheers.
🙏
Man we are waiting for your v3 pleases realese her 😕
Patience, my friend. It will take about two weeks.
Very lovely video. Be safe!!
Thank you, Karthik.
Nice video . Will you start chopping the intercepter loved to see that
Hey Paul. I wanted to do a Scrambler build but now thinking of going a more focussed roadster route. Planning upside down forks, flatter bars, rearsets etc. Will take some time though as I'm busy doing up a small 150cc Yamaha for the track right now. Cheers
@@abhinavbhatt the mods are more than sufficient to turn that bike into what u want. U got attention of people like me by saying that.
where is version 3's next update?
At least a week away. Haven't even seen the bike in two weeks.
Congratulations for your new bike 🎋🎉
Would like to see more videos regarding this bike too
But do upload V3 too as I got myself one and inspired with all your modifications :)
Congratulations for the R15 purchase, buddy. I will do a build series on the Interceptor as well as the R15.
Strong vocabulary game you've got, my dear sir.
I did try to block them out. Well, that's what happens when adrenaline takes over, I guess.
Post about you R15 man, quite long to see results
I'll probably get to ride it this Sunday or Monday. Then I will vlog.
It must be a way to turn off the ABS
You can take the ABS fuse out.
Why you breathing so high bro?😂😂
Unwell. Bad cold and fever.
@@abhinavbhatt oh crap
Bro also can tell are there vibes on handlebars around 4-5k rpm,everyone says no vibration but its a twin 650 engine there's gotta be vibration😐😐 its not yet in my city i haven't even seen this bike but looking forward to buy it
I've not noticed any vibes so far bro.
How many bikes do u have
Three. Triumph Street Triple 675, Yamaha R15 V3, Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
And when did u buy the interceptor
Been two months.
Nice
What do u think which is better between the interceptor and the Continental gt 650
Why are you breathing so fast bro. Gud video .when we can have some shots of your r1 v3
Had cold, fever. Couldn't help it. R15 video in 2 weeks.
bro take care and rest
Thanks buddy.
Plz sir tell me where is this place I wanna go there n ride whole day
Sir, this is in Gurgaon. On the Gurgaon Faridabad Road. Just a km down from Throttle Shrottle Cafe.

Thank you, Aman :)
@@abhinavbhattpleasure to talk wid u sir
Likewise, brother
Hey bro . that was a lovely vlog ☺️ awaited for the vlog on R15 V3 project you are currently working on .
Thanks, buddy. I need two weeks for the R15 video. I'll be busy till then.
@@abhinavbhatt Sure brother . all the very best . i wish you achieve the success & the hard work pays off . ❤️🚀
🙏
Abhinav can you make an Ownership review for the 2000kms that you have done with your interceptor. It will help me and many more on our decision to buy an interceptor in the future. Your experiences, likes, dislikes, small niggles and other stuff that you wanna put in the video. Happy to be a subscriber. Take care.
Sure, James. I am headed to Jaipur on this bike Sunday. Will do so along the way.
I think a disclaimer to use headphones should be added 😂😂😂
Hahahah
Brother your contents are really awesome 👑❤️
Thank you, Vivek :)
Didn't that fuck up the suspension ?
Not one bit.
Bhai r15 complete hui k nii
Kb aari h uski vidio
Abhi time lagega dost. 2 weeks
Ok bhai wait kr ra hu
Jldi hi upload krna
Main bhi wait kar raha hu :)
Wanna try pebbles road?
Where is that?
Great video.. I enjoyed it..
Thank you, Ramesh.
Why doesn't everyone test their brand new motorcycle this way?
Call me crazy.
That looked way too fun! (if something can be such a thing)
No r15 today ?
No bro. Haven't been able to test it for two weeks now.
Bro r15 16000 rpm top speed video plzz😃
Hello Gourav. I am yet to test the bike. I'll probably get a chance to do it in two weeks.
@@abhinavbhatt Tq bro for your reply.You r one of the best youtubers 😳
Hahah. I'm not even a TH-camr.
Bravo!!
Thanks, Victor!
pretty heavy breathing
Can't help it, man.
You're great rider sir ji ☺
Hahahahha. Not at all.
Concentrate in project R15 V3 bro v are waiting see the top speed
Patience, my friend. Patience. Let me have some fun along the way ✌
💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🦁👑 kkk bro waiting
Great riding... I hope the mechanic servicing your bike doesnt watch this... :) subbed
Hahaha. I first sent the link to them ✌ Thanks for the sub, man.
Trying dirt tracks on RE 😃
It was so much fun.
Waiting for v3...
Will take some time, bro. I'll be travelling next Sunday so won't get to test it for two weeks.
@@abhinavbhatt ok man..
Very very very excited
It forearms are tired coz u r trying too hard to control the bike
..Not that the arm pump would help..What u need to do is to let the rear move around and let the bike do it's thing.. it's the same thing riding rough road twisties in the Himalayas... All the stress grab will only make the rider lose speed and lead to white knuckle fatigue
Yup. But since not used to it, couldn't implement it.
Cool video bro....
Thanks, bro.
Bro I want see r15 top speed eagerly waiting iam daily checking ur updates please upload top speed bro plssssssssssssssss plssssssss
I will, bro. I need to ride the bike first. Haven't had the time to even collect it from Speedmonks.
@@abhinavbhatt thanks ur reply bro....I'm really very interested in automotive technologies that's why need to see ur bike ...and I'm very interested in camshaft and also suggest you mainly change throttle bodies bro..it will make pickup more I think...
Yeah. I do plan to. Running out of money and time though.
Abhinav Where's R15 😬
Still at Speedmonks. It is mostly done. Need to find time to go ride it.
@@abhinavbhatt I'm staying tuned until then!
I feel the bike was to stiff on turns but otherwise you were amazing.
Thanks bro. It was more my inexperience than the bike's fault really.
Bro appreciate you venturing into the unknown... But that is definitely not the bike to take to your first dirt track ride. Any way great video.
Just wanted to have some fun. And fun I did have :)
@@abhinavbhatt that's more like it.......
You did great! Just practice a bit more. Start with a calm mind and focus. Thanks for the honest vlog! Ride safe! 🤟🏻
🙏
What the sound you're are making . Agar cold lag Raha he tho audio off Karr yarr it's irritating
I was unwell that day. Have a deviated septum. Maybe try watching something else other than my videos? Because this will keep recurring.
@@abhinavbhatt ok sorry
Chill. Understand that nobody wants to make a video like that. I just happened to be unwell that day. All is good 👍
Indian roads are never less than a dirt track...😁
That's why I did okay. We were raised practicing for this.
@@abhinavbhatt so true...😁
Hahah
Hilarious but kudos. Ur voice was calm but breathing needed 2 canisters of Asthalin spray :D. I shit bricks if my back wheel slips even an inch so i guess my bike wont see any dirt at all !! Worst experience i had was on a kachcha dirt road leading to my old house after a good rain. Total slush....and a damn Kinetic Honda. It would do 180 degree turns on its own and that is scaaaaary man....
Was extremely unwell while shooting this and have blocked nostrils. Hence the heavy breathing. Man, a Kinetic in slush sounds so much fun. Wish I get to do something this crazy some time.
Saans ton aisi chadi hai jaise tum interceptor ko nahi woh tumhe waga rahi hai 😂😂
😂😂
That's Nutts
Waiting for yr R15 update
It will take some time, brother.
Audio me ksi avaj aa rhi h😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Zukhaam hai bhai, aur thaka bhi hua tha :)
@@abhinavbhatt ok bro😊
Bhai your voice is good but you should have edited that shivering sound of yours,that is very irritating,i stopped the video in between,please edit these things before uploading to become a good vloger
Sure. Thanks for the feedback.
Nice abhinav 💖 👌
Thank you, Syed.
@@abhinavbhatt .. what's your r15v3 top speed after tuning 💪 175 + ?
Sir apka r15 upgrade video kab ayega??
#LoveFromBengal
Two weeks, dost.
Get the Himalayan on this track.
XPulse would be more fun.
@@abhinavbhatt - Haven't heard of that one. Will be researching now. Thanks for the new info.
Asthma???
No. Blocked nose.
Side shots of bikes jump would have been great
Next time.
