Although Indian roads dont need very low center of gravity, since lower gravity tends to make moveability little more heavy. and you need agility to manuever in India. Ex - Cruise bikes /choppers are not that famous in india. Also if oil cools faster when - sump is over enigine is true then why does Interceptor with double piston has lesser size of radiator? Single cylider is making the bike lighter, also extra lighter due to one exhaust less etc thats why pickup and low end torque is high. "Heat from engine" is such a lame excuse- When there is exhaust and air cooling involved, when you halt/slow down - obviously the heat from engine will rise against gravity. Its called "part of the job". Like a Traffic Police cant complaint about vehicle noise. He already knew that it will happen when he applied for it. Every 250+ bike will heat. This one stupid reason is the main thing people keep repeating. people imagine, they are on an oven that too in indian summer. bhai comeon - biker ho tum . then there is one more kind who think corenering - tum 4 video dekh k apne bike se khicdi expect mat kar rahe ho, ki aloo bhi hoga, dhaniya bhi ho, heeng bhi ho.. khicdi is for less enthusiasts. Get a good tyre, obviously company is telling you, but you ignore - Interceptor is the most modifiable of the lot. Even himalyan is 2nd , if you realy want to corner then little modification is needed. Be practical. First thing first, if you cant lift your motorbike's back wheel with two hands holding the back rest then you need to get fit. dont blame the bike. every fast moving object when you ride, it needs a lean mean machine on its back to control it. No one is expecting you to know everything about bikes niether a bike is all rounder, use the best combo and you are a true biker!

The Shadow Black looks best of all the colours. In the UK we love that it has incandescent lamps, where in India your all worries that it doesn’t have LED’s. The lamps match its classic style, a warm glow from the headlight that matches that old English feel. I feel LED’s would ruin the feel.
Only problem with these kind of bikes from any brand will be the tube tyres ! We must have a permanent solution between spokes wheels vs options to choose vintage alloy wheels with better look.
@@gigachad3685 Exactly, still we have tubes ! and this is not suitable for all sort of rides as quick fix for any puncher is difficult. As per my knowledge, now we have plenty of options to suit retro style with alloy wheels which should be optionally made available for upcoming bikes. There are many people like me how love retro bikes but, cannot buy due to the difficulties with tube tires. This is not only for BSA but for any retro looking bike. I think JAWA bikes offer much better road clearance these days. BSA (or any company) should considering offer bikes with different versions offerings with higher road clearance and shorter once with lower road clearance.
@@yesraghuyes yes it does cover in standard warranty 2 years.... Recently they changed my both suspension and silencer because of recall.. And they gave extra warranty on that 😂... Btw ground clearance 150mm shouldn't be a problem.. Look at meotor 650 it has 135mm ground clearance.. No issue in indian road.. Same goes for hunter 350 ..150mm.. Earlier jawa yezdi bike used to have worst preload.. Now they have sorted that issue.. Hence no more ground clearance issue
Teen gen-Z need that excitement and highs for them to watch it. Example bikewithgirl will only be more of excitement and less of info. Just plane subtle is kool and easy.
The best thing about this bike is its performance - the worst thing is lack of gizmos : gear indicator, slipper clutch, switchable abs , fuel range indicator etc .

Thank you brother for doing this review and sharing your experience. I did not like the rear seating arrangement and also miss the dual silencer set up which would have made it look much better & aggressive. Indicator design looks after market. Fuel tank at least should have been 16 to 17 ltr, when Mahindra gave Mojo a tank of 21 ltrs..wonder why they are giving smaller tank on every bike. Lack of planning by the designer to attach a front visor as the indicator assembly is on the front head light console so putting up a front visor will be tricky..that indicator assembly should have been placed on the tank or slightly off set or in between the two pods like some watch.

There is no option to fix center stand on it BSA won't sell it as accessory, this has been in international market since 2022 and no center stand is sold by bsa as some vital sensors are there making it difficult for the centre stand. So far only tecbike has made an aftermarket stand and only a handful were sold some 5 or 6 only. Someone looking to get this should be ready to live with tube tyres and no center stand.

Everything is good but bike sound is not good at all. Might be because of the mike you would be using. Re twins sound great because of the twin cylinders.
