Do you think even after providing so much... RE has forgotten about the 650?
They need to update it with more tech and useful hardware to make life easy!
Yes
It will increase the price a lot. Let it be
Being an INT owner I think I'm eligible to add some comment here
1. Tyre could have been a little wider
2. Missing Gear positioning indicator
3. LED turn signals
4. Like the throw of current head lamp. But a projector or LED could have been better deal.
5. The most important point : RE should Educate their delears on how to properly service such premium class product. Without this there is no point in launching these exprensive motorcycles. RE will fail eventually.
Good day Dhanil and team
@@Sabyasachi9697 that's the same case with Tata , they don't know how to treat their customers and make products without proper quality control . Eventually they will fail ...
@@milans3747 agree
RE650 twins are still a distant dream but ordered the bacca bucci shoes featured in this video 😂
Lol
link pls
🤣🤣🤣🤣 640₹
Hahahah
Even I liked the shoes. Thanks for the brand name 😁
1. Give a better seat
2. Improve peg positioning
3. Include all LED at least as an accessory
4. Make the exhaust straight (For practical reasons)
5. Give a better instrument cluster
6. Give tubeless tyres
This bike is the KING of segment...
Royal Enfield means they will retain with halogen bulb, but we require 55w halogen bulb in headlight
But it's a roadster that's why they made it sporty
Well a classic 650 would have hit all the right notes !
@@dheerajyadav8134 Yes
I agree to the above
My best friend 2days ago bought Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and i was researching about it and its awesome 👍🔥
Happened to me 6 months back
Keeping aside the shortcoming, everything in this bike is perfect.
Retro classic, I mean even after 10 years down the line u would fall I love ❤ with it by simply seeing it. That's the character of these bikes which modern day fibre n plastic bikes miss.
Tubeless tyres perhaps will be the most important replacement
Tubeless tyres is all this bike needs. Puncture is a real nightmare. Nightmare is not even the right word to explain the experience.
Apart from good engine it's lacks most of the things:
1-No alloy wheels (promised to be launch on feb21, but we already passed feb22)
2- Very few affordable tyre options (18inch)
3- RR unit sucks keeps on getting damage.
4-Battery provided 12v 12amp not available in amaron stores.
No alloy wheels is what keeping me away from buying it.
@@RanjitGodbole Thats what annoying me the most since i bought this bike. Weight of this bike cause its so much puncture prone.
@@RanjitGodbole my interceptor was 1.5 years old, i completed 20k kms
2 tyre sets changed, every 10k kms you have to change tyres
During 20k kms i didn't get puncture
Most of the time i do off roading so for this much heavy bike spokes rim in better
@@SalaiNirmal which tyre
alloy on this? no thanks it's retro
Is it worth it? RE's superior line up with inferior features.
Alloys - Spoke rims and tube tyres in this generation? This is not an offroad spec bike like the Himalayan, hence Alloys and tubeless tyres (Not CEAT) are the need of the hour.
Fuel Meter - Fuel meter on this bike has its on brain. RE needs to fix this.
Front Forks - The front suspension is on the softer side and it tends to dive on hard/sudden breaking, also lessens cornering confidence.
Tripper Nav - It would be nice to have it considering the lower models already possess them.
Quick Shifter - may be as an accessory.
Finally Service - Not all the service centers are equipped with competent 650 mechanics, which is tragic!
Hope MotorBeam can share this with RE.
It’s made to be a simple retro motorcycle to remind us about what motorcycling is for- simple, cool and a great experience. It’s not made to compete with the KTM Duke or anything, it’s about the smiles per hour, not about the miles per hour. It’s about the mechanics of the bike, the coordination of every single part in the 650cc engine, that allows it to reach the redline. If you want most of the features that you mentioned above, you should search for a naked or sports bike or even an ADV, as they would satisfy you even more :)
Which bike would you suggest for around the same price?
Tubeless tyres are the only drawback for interceptor... Apart from this, it's a gem of motorcycle... Proud Interceptor rider
Only thing which is stopping me from buying this bike is No Tubeless tyre. Other issues can be managed but imagine flat tyre on a trip with no nearby support
Improvements required :
1. Peg position
2. A better instrument cluster
3. A bit weight reduction
4. All LED setup including hazard lights
no thanks pegs are fine i'm over 6'0"
My experience in these three months of ownerships… front fork is horrible, front brakes or over all brakes not convincing, speedometer/instrument cluster meaning the fuel indicator is a joke. Need tubeless tires and alloy wheels. Rest fine.
Awesome bike
One of the best made in India bikes 😃
Worlds apart from the shitty singles that enfield had been milking earlier
But we need an upgrade for 650 twins
1. Tripper navigation
2. Quick shifter+
3. Traction control
Yes!
They should provide more comfortable seat.
@@Aayush_dab that we can install from additional accessories from Royal Enfield
@@haridharshan4616 yes but we are paying like 3.5 lakhs and its not inbuilt in it so we have to pay extra for it. That's my point
Atleast add gear position indicator 🥲
Funniest part when people ask "Bullet ka naya model aaya kya" and "dono silencer se aavaj aata kya".
😂
Alloy wheels are a must for such a heavy bike and it makes the life a lot easier.
Best bike in whole RE lineup...👌👌
The old chrome variant with black n gold stripe, looked better than the chrome and red
Why isn't anybody talking about the spoke wheels on this bike, it should get an option for alloys as well.
To handle a puncture on this bike is a very difficult task....some of the roadside puncture shops even refuses to repair this kind of puncture. It really is a difficult task since this bike is heavy and has long exhaust pipes on both sides. All this problem could be solved to a great extent only if RE gave alloys as an option on this bike.
No hate though.
I really love this machine.
I'm in love with RE continental..Gt. 🔥🔥🔥❤️
This is an Aggressive sounding bike with superb retro looking design that will make you stand out in the crowd and the supremely refined engine & gearbox makes it very much fun to ride. I too have bought an orange Interceptor 650 brand new and iam very very impressed by the engine of this bike. It gives me 20-25 kmpl fuel efficiency
Buying this motorcycle is the best thing happened in 2020 for me just love this bike ❤️😍 🔥
Bought my gt 4 months ago I just love it ♥️
It is the crown in the jewel in India. It has been highly loved in UK and US also. This motorcycle doesn't need any supportive video. It's second buy for an individual and specifically meant for a niche segment
Only problems that iam facibg is the rear braking is too soft no matter how many times i get it to servuce station to change it and second problem is sometimes it dont start and it is my second time changing parts in it still facibg the same problem

I'm not a member but I like RTK ❤️
Subscribed right after your comment about the foot pegs. Honesty pays. Thank you.
Ergonomics? Upright riding position and cruiser like , seriously???? .It has a very good engine with a confused ergo.. Pillion comfort is poor as well.
You can pick up groceries "super fast" 😂😂
Tubeless
Light exhaust
Led lights
Its perfect bike to close competition business ...
But RE has orphaned it.... i have got it in 2022... enjoying
Totally agreed about the shin pain. RE should definitely look into it to make its model a more user friendly experience
I took delivery of a ventura blue 2 weeks ago. amazing bike
There is a Massive narrative pushing the INT 650 as a worthy Motorcycle. Many are starting to realize that using nostalgia and over romanticizing a very basic Motorcycle is a technique to sell a bike that many bikes 15 year older out perform to include finish and .handling .
It is an inexpensive motorcycle that at its roots is more a beginner bike like when small 350cc bikes are used at Motorcycle schools.,
Had to say it because I see so many you tubers pushing this bike just for thumbs up’s.
I was looking for second bike and even test road it for-an hour. A gutless easy safe ride for those who say that’s all the power they need. Then reality sets in and realize they may get run over on a freeway that the average speed is over 75 MPH.
Almost any bike even a small Chinese moped can do back roads.
That’s the truth.
I have interceptor and I'm 6'4 I luckily don't face this footrest issue while moving the bike. Maybe it happens for people who are
Superb engine, great low-end torque, more than enough power than most Indians need.
Great presentation. Loved it.👍
One biggest con is not having tubeless tyre
What a video. Short, Simple and Stunning.
Engine is amazing .
Brakes are shit compared to dominar and 390s .
Refinement is excellent , exhaust note is so sweet
Have you also ridden the gt 650,if so how are the brakes on it?
@@navyateja2335 no braking bite but has decent progressive braking
@@milans3747 this channel itself has compared interceptor's brakes with duke and ninja, and guess what ! Interceptor's brakes are superior to both duke and ninja. So you are wrong.
@@megatrn9976 I had interceptor , RC 390 and dominar .
First ride the bike then comment 😂
@@milans3747 how can I trust some random person in comment section over some professional TH-cam channel who rather has superior knowledge about bikes.
Hi, i enjoy watching your blog. Had a request from you. It's really a pain to remove tyre and fix it back. Please post some video related to puncture issues with Interceptor tyre punctures so that it reaches out to company and they work on availability of alloy wheels so that we can access tubeless tyres. Company will respond to influencers like you.
videos like this makes me happy .. now when i have got the 120th edition interceptor 650 xD
Sir, would like to share it with Motor beam's ownership review team...
Please.
One day man one day i will buy gt 650 🔥🔥
Team motorbeam...we all miss your DYNO Tests man 😩 bring all back....
Still missing the BS4 rumbling exhaust sound..I liked that one more and when bs6 came out, hearing this exhaust noise disappointed me. Skipped my plan to buy this.
You can replace its exhaust..
You can always get a used one. Maybe one that has run less
@@saptarshimozumdar1657Yes I'm finding such kind .let's see.
VERY NICE REVIEW SIR.
Important upgrade for RE? Make it more reliable
It is super reliable
The maintainence cost of interceptor 650/continental gt 650 is really too high,it will certainly cost you more than owning a Honda city car,telling from personal experience,so guys be aware,though the ride of 650 twins really gives pleasure but the cost of that pleasure would certainly make a deep hole in the pocket😏
The service cost is usually around the 3k mark for the major service unless parts are to be changed. That's half of what a general car service would cost.
One of the best engines and mechanicals..very poor on the practical sides like comfort.. dissatisfied owner😐
Make one with tubeless wheels and I'll buy it.
Make a video on continental gt 650 also
Pls make a detailed video on Royal Enfield Meteore 🔥👍
It would be amazing Bec i am looking for RE Meteore 😎
Need alloy wheels and tubeless tyres.
Frustrated GT 650 owner
RE should improve the aftersales service. And the front suspension is pathetic on this motorcycle. The front end makes too much drama on high speed. But i don't understand one thing, is it my thighs that are strong enough so that I can't feel the foot pegs hurting me or people should workout for strong thighs 😅. It's okay for me.
Best decision taken in 2020 ❤️
What about reliability and After Sales Service quality?You have overlooked these points?
Reliability is top notch. After sales is so poor that the service centre guys left me wheel misaligned after chain adjustment. I just service my bike there only not to void the warranty.
Very good top end- really gets beaten by rc390 and Ninja 300
It needs DOHC and 10k rev limiter
They used SOHC only to keep fuel efficiency plus re doesn't have DOHC bikes at all
It's not a sports bike , it's meant for effortless cruising
@@milans3747 what about the cafe racer gr650
@@darksoul4721 these engines are not made for Racing dude , you can understand that if you ride one any day .
It has excellent torque and punch but lacks on the top end after some time . Ninja etc is made for top end .
Do not compare sports bikes with re engines. They are made for other purposes
@@milans3747 RE has their own racing series called gt cup for gt650 and you are saying it's not for racing
@@darksoul4721 any bike can be used for races 😂 does not mean it's meant for Racing.
I think you need to ride 650 re
Basically everyone asking for an upgrade is asking for a ktm interceptor. This is a classic, let it stay that way.
Is the seat comfortable for pillion and rider for long trips ????
No
It's a classic looking good performance bike (equivalent to 500cc bikes and very much underpowered to rest of the 650cc in the segment) but I would like to say it's an incomplete bike, it's not suitable for riding in Indian city traffic conditions and falls short of even basic features for touring. Price is it's biggest USP, else as a package it doesn't even offer as much as even 250cc bikes do in the market today. Hope RE looks up to it, comes up with a better package and doesn't disappoint fans again.
Absolutely
So basically you are trying to compare a high stroke low compression engine with performance oriented high compression engine.....let me remind u that Royal Enfield are known for cruising on long highways and not to race on a closed track and talking of lack of power you mentioned, take kawasaki W800 which is only 1 sec faster in 0-100 drag and 3 times costlier than RE and with same high stroke low compression engine.....if you want to compare, then compare with the bike of same class and not the same engine cc and all those short coming you are talking about, u can get it for well under a lakh instead of paying thrice the price of a bike
@@ankitanand676 Hi Ankit. Good point. In the same class there is no direct competition to Interceptor for now but not for long (BSA & Bajaj/Triumph will soon launch bikes in this class). The nearest comparison in class for now is the Kawasaki Z650RS which is a retro modern bike and twice the price cos its imported. I have been riding RE bikes for last 10 yrs and I am aware of the its cruising abilities on the highway, but the point of disappointment is cos they are not living up to their own standards. When they are giving Meteor 350 such features why is the 650cc twins being deprived of it even when you are paying nearly 4L for it. These are also made for highway cruising but it falls short of basic features too and that's why I said its incomplete. You can get a lot of accessories after market but I think RE only should be offering them for a bike of this class. Hope they offer a better package for the upcoming 650 cruiser.
As an interceptor owner some of ur points I agree with but definitely not with city traffic point. It depends on ur capability. I used to ride 150cc in heavy city traffic. Believe me the traffic is very bad here but I didnt hv and problem tackling the traffic with it the only concern should it's mileage in city traffic which is too low. I'm getting 15. Other than it cuts through traffic like a knife if ur a experienced rider
@@tirthankarmitra9574 bro i am from kolkata and traffic here is heavy and i own a continental gt 650 and usually i get around 23kmpl(lowest 20kmpl that too before first service) in city and on highway around 28-30kmpl and once i even extracted 33kmpl in a 250km road trip with an average speed of 60kmph @6th gear
A tip for you, try to not rev the bike above 2.5k and ur mileage will increase drastically
Note: i m using a redrooster performance exhaust since I bought the bike and it was installed even during that 250km trip, so u can extract even more, given the mileage decrease with aftermarket or performance exhaust
I don’t understand why you say STILL WORTHY they are just 3 years old… they will evolve and get better with time. I expect them to last like their older siblings bullets…
Good one
650 Twins ❤️
Foot pegs position is the same with the hunter too..
I loved your presentation 🤩
please guide me to choose me between royal enfield INTERSEPTOR 650 vs RE SCRAMBLER
make a video is possible
many new buyer’s are confused between the 2….
Love my bike
Please make such video on meteor 350 too 🙏🏻
An Liquid Cooled Motor Wil Make A Lot Of Change.. May B Deal Maker
It's not a high compression engine. Doesn't need liquid cooling with that humongous ugly radiator. Will spoil the classic look
@@rikusharma1 Lik I Said, Improvements Should B Made
@@venkeythekey2happiness it doesn't need liquid cooling at all. Improvement should be made on suspension and other parts.
Proud owner of 650 twin
It's a all time VFM bike
Just got a brand few hours ago and found the same issue of oddly placed footpegs. Really a silly design mistake
You'll overcome it within a week, congratulations 🎊
dual exhaust with Supernova model will be a superhit.
Does any INT650 owner faces problem of bike engine shutting down with frequent gear shifts while trying to push the bike hard. My bikes RPM drops below 1000 as soon as I pull the clutch in to shift the gear. Got it checked at RE SC but nobody is able to figure out the problem. Instead they told me if you want to go fast you should have bought Duke 790. This is meant for cruising not going fast. N by fast I mean 80-100 kmph. Last rectification was to increase the RPM to abt 1.3K at idle. It did work next day but then again started giving me problems of engine shutting down. Doesn't happen when I am cruising only when I try to go a little fast than usual.
If anyone has faced the same issue then please advise how to get this sorted as it is quite dangerous as the power is cut off to engine & the vehicle behind me might not realise that the bike has suddenly start to slow down without pushing the brakes.
But at least does it have 55w halogen bulb?
@ 0.57 u have told its a oil cooled engine....for our clarification its not rit? its an Air cooled engine
it's easy for 5.4 height guy ?
No
The seat is like a wooden bench..
But bro the KTM Adventure 390 has traction control, cornering ABS, Metzeler rubber, WP APEX suspension, bluetooth connectivity, dual radiator fan, LED lights all over, Pro-XP and bruh - BRAGGING RIGHTS of owning a KTM.
Ok
Bhai kya lagta hai dominar ki exhaust note acchi hai ya interseptor ki
@@film_flow interceptor for a twin cylinder and for a single cylinder the dominar
KTM is made like a cycle you will soon find out
@@vaishakhpv13393 yea that's the reason RE bikes are found at the garage 🤣🤦🏼♂️
I am your huge fan and i have a problem in feb i bought interceptor 650 but the bike giving lots of problems just completed 1050km in bike is in showroom
I think the best part is it is the cheapest 650cc parallel twin, no one can beat that. I dare, other bike walo beat karke dikhao.
Pillion Rider seating position very unsafe nothing to hold onto... and uncomfortable Footrest placement due to silencer raised up
Which exashut is best for interceptor 650. Mark 2 like gurusewak and red rooster ... Please reply ASAP
Very good review bhai.
Confused between interceptor 650 alloy vs cb500x
Cb500x has better suspension and thicker tyre for more stability.
But on this price difference, I m inclined towards interceptor 650 alloy verient.
You opinion brother.
I m waiting for cruiser 650 and then I ll bump it 863 kit , making it into ghost rider bike ... I mean spec wise
Getting a second hand interceptor 2019 bs4 for 2.20 1700 km driven is it a good deal?
I m planning to buy
I've I've heard that it wobbles at high speeds
The rear tyre was sponsored? Right? 🤣
Waiting for the proper cruiser
Please make a vdo about which are the modification/ accessories we can do and still RE WARRANTY will not be void. Will help a lot of beginners RE raiders like me.
You can change everything???? Reallyyyy???here in kerala????funny😂😂😂
Still worthy ka kya matlab hai , this bike is class apart and it doesn't have any competition in India. Infact internationally this bike is beating Triumph Bonneville and other 650cc bikes.
