- Haven't posted on this channel in a while but I'm back! I absolutely love the style of café racers and had a blast riding this bike 😊 Overall, a great bike with a characterful engine (and exhaust note), low centre gravity which helps with stability but still nimble to enjoy those twisties or your daily ride, all complimented by that beautiful vintage design! 😅 A like and subscribe would be much appreciated 🙌 Hope y'all have a great day ❤️

i took one for a test ride a little while ago and its way better to turn and use around town then my v star 650 and its got more power too
only problem i have tho is i dont know if my upper back will hurt on longer rides that go for 6 hours or so and i ride on long strait roads to roads up around the snowy mountains
here in australia
i was also looking at getting a cb650r and turn it into a naked sports tourer
@@travisj2370 Yep I was actually surprised at it's nimbleness! and yeah I think generally you'd start to feel the strain on a naked style bike compared to the couches on wheels that are cruiser bikes, although it'd be better than touring on a supersport like say an ZX6R for example 😅I really want to try out a CBR650R, they seem like a perfect blend of supersport power without the back straining riding position of being hunched over because I believe the CBR650R's bars are in a fairly upright position although not as high as a naked style bike 😊
@@jasondep my v star hurts my hip and back and its from a medical issue i have with the cb650r i can tuck my legs up and the interceptor can let me stand on it with its mid pegs
@@travisj2370 ah okay that's fair enough then, I'd say always best to find the bike that is comfortable especially when it comes to commuting long distances, definitely test ride a CBR650R to see how you like it, I definitely want to try one out at some stage, but definitely can't go wrong with the Interceptor too 😊
@@jasondep yea its just a shame adventure bikes around 10k AUD are either stupid slow or are ugly as hell
Cant just build a interceptor 650 with a 4 cylinder engine and a set of wheels and shocks for adventure and royal enfield would have a hell of a ride
I've had mine about 16 months and covered over 7,000 miles. I love it, a really nice bike to ride.I have fitted DNA high performance filter, Lextec silencers, bar end mirrors, TEC Bikeparts rack and Royal Enfield engine bars to get it as I want. Future improvements may include a suspension upgrade but honestly any rider could just buy this stock and have a lot of fun.
Glad you're enjoying it! Safe riding 🙌 Definitely a great bike even in stock form, and if videos are anything to go by, the stock exhausts have some character to them
@@jasondep Thanks, I love the bike. The biggest problem with the stock exhausts is their weight I changed them the second day I owned the bike and can't remember what the difference in mass was but it was huge. Also my bike now sounds like a 1960s parallel twin and even makes Harley riders prick up their ears. Lol.
@@canopus101 Its a common thing I've heard about the weight of the stock exhausts, it's pretty interesting to hear how much of a difference it makes to swap them out 🙌 definitely not surprised that Harley riders do a double take when they hear it, I know I did when I first heard it 😅
Not a rocket, but fast/quick enough to keep you out of trouble. Good review.
New and experienced riders will both enjoy this bike.
Thank you! And yep not gonna beat a Hayabusa but boy will it put a smile on your face 😅
It also has a slipper clutch which no one ever mentions in a review. It stops the rear wheel locking up if you choose too lower gear for the revs of the bike. Its a great saftey feature and handy for new riders especially. It is a genuine tonup bike also. Particualry with a stage one set up ie free flow muffer, Air filter and booster plug.
Thanks for the info and reminder about the slipper clutch! 🙌 and yep this one had a DNA filter on it 😊
This is not a cafe racer. Continental GT is the cafe racer.
Yup correct! I did realize and correct myself at 14:36 😅 probably more of a scrambler than a cafe racer, I just so used to calling old retro bikes cafe racers
Relax
Hi Jason, I recently bought a used int 650 and immediately had complete confidence in drive It . Position Is very comfortable with the esclusion of the Seat After a couple of hours of riding. I'm going to improve the rear break that its ti weak for me.
In the next future I probably change the original exaust that has a nice sound but It Is too big and heavy.
As concerns the aesthetic, its fits well with me and my pepper and salts hair. Cheers from Italy! 👋
That's awesome! Happy riding and enjoy it! 🙌
Air cooled sounds so much better! 👍🏻
Not too sure how it would've performed in stop start traffic but definitely performed great in the urban riding conditions I filmed in 🙌
I really -Rate the Re-650's , but I do disagree with the kawasaki W-series-twins sounding like 'rattle-cans' . They are parallel-twins (360-degree-cranks with both pistons rising and falling 'In-Parallel' ) same as original British-Twins .The RE is a vertical/inline-twin where the pistons 'Don't' rise and fall in-parallel---they have a 270-degree-crank which makes them smooth and v-twin-sounding . Both configurations make excellent-machines with very-different 'Character' to each-other . I definitely can't fault your enthusiasm for the RE though . Dave nz
Fair enough 😅 most of my opinion is based off watching exhaust videos of the W800 etc, and compared to the RE I definitely prefer the mote V-Twin like note of the Interceptor but I definitely need to ride a W800 or similar to get a better appreciation for the sound it puts out IRL 🙌 Thanks for the comment 🫶
wow ! great riding ! I like the Enfield Interceptor 🤩🤩
Thank you! and yep it's absolutely awesome 🙌
I hear what you are saying about ' Getting used to the bike '.
My daily bike is an un-restricted CFMoto 650nk which I can imagine being similar to your old MT07 .
When I first get on my 2021 Orange Crush Interceptor for a ride I feel exactly what you are saying , pegs , seat height , brakes , riding position are all different but 10 minutes in the saddle of my RE , I am away because these are such a sweet ride .
Sweet review mate and thank you .
Thanks for your comment! And appreciate the support 🙌 definitely a great bike and wish I could buy one right now but can only afford the one bike at the moment haha 😅 Safe riding!
Oh your joyful laughs at the beginning said it all! No more words were needed. It clearly is a great package overall and you clearly were thoroughly enjoying it! That much came through with a clear bassy rumble
Definitely can't go wrong this bike! 🙌
I like your reviews. I wish you would get your hands on a Hunter 350
Appreciate the kind words! 🫶 definitely looking to review more of Royal Enfield's line up, hopefully can find a Hunter 350 to checkout 🙌
Had this for a week.I've been on motorcycles since 1990 and I don't remember any motorcycle that tired me so much.
How come? 😕 Was it the seat?
how
Never heard such rubbish from anyone who owns a RE
@@jasondep i don't think it's the seat or the performance... the user is just a miniature human or a midget or a woman who is too weak to handle the weight of the bike... or probably the user was manually strolling the bike around for a week without starting the engine or the user was a pillion for the whole week... the first time ever did i hear someone getting tired with an interceptor 😅 the beauty of this bike is unprecedented...
@@metaheisenberg With all due respect, everyone is different and will have a different opinion from each other (even if it's the first time we hear that opinion), and so there is no need to generalise or call other people weak (women or men) because of that opinion 🙂I do however agree that this bike is most certainly beautiful 👍
Absolutely loved your video & the Interceptor equally as well !!! Subscribed
Thank you! Appreciate it 🙌
It's a practical and good commuting between point a to b motorcycle for everyday use
Most definitely! 🙌
Better than a sport bike. They just go from a to a in the shortest possible time!
Looks like that bike got Reverly headers too so abit of extra grunt over stock.
Also has a DNA filter if I remember correctly so a bit better air flow too 😅
It's like my street twin little brother.
Definitely! 😅
i wanna buy one and pass it on to my children
That would be an amazing story! A bike getting passed from generation to generation😃
Thats what im thinking. Ride for 2-3 yrs and upgrade to something a bit more powerful and full featured, and by then both my kids will be 17-18 and ready to ride.
@@LaminarSound I'm hoping to pass on my 2015 Yamaha MT07 with 70k+ kms one day 😅
Which blinkers have you put on ur bike?
Not sure sorry 😕 it was a rental bike, and I've tried to find it online and can't find ones that look like the blinkers installed on this bike, but there's so many options available 😊
That's the best colourway
Love the names they have for them too like "Bakers Express", very unique 🙌🙌🙌
@@jasondep I'm picking up a 2019 model with 2800 miles this week. Super excited.
@@TronciM that's awesome! Hope you enjoy the heck out of it 🙌🙌🙌
@@jasondep Cheers bro
Interceptor is more of a roadster whereas Continental GT is the Caffe Racer right. I like both but my back wouldn’t like the Conti.
Yeah definitely for anyone who commutes I think the Interceptor would be better suited ergonomically 😊
Hab sie auch, bin sehr zufrieden. Der Inbegriff eines klassischen Motorrades 🙂
🙌🙌🙌🙌
52 nm of torque at 50 100 rpm ?? please clarify
Fifty one hundred (50 100) rpm is another way of saying 5100rpm, hope this clears up the confusion 😊
Thanks. I think because you paused it sounded like 50, 100 instead of 51 hundred. Great review 👍
@@manormouse1410 no worries! And thank you 😊🙌
Five six in English.
Yeah I definitely ain't no tall boi 😅
Please take the helmet off next time so your voice isn't muffled...
Like when I'm riding? 😅
Stupid suggestion
Nice review, how does this bike compare to the Yam mt07? Is it any better to ride?
Thanks you! I actually did a review of the MT07 recently if you wanted to go check it out 🙌 - th-cam.com/video/qouP7jzp238/w-d-xo.html - The MT07 has more torque and it's lighter compared to the Interceptor 650, making it a bit more of a hooligan bike but also I think overall the MT07 is a robust platform where you can use it any sort of situation and a reliable engine/power train that's bulletproof (I can testify to this because I own an MT07 and was involved in a crash and it's still running without any issues, even after it was repaired) 😊 However I do think the Interceptor 650 is a great bike too, has just the right amount power for any type of riding situation, great weight distribution making the bike very stable, and the retro/vintage design of it is definitely better compared to the MT07 styling 😅
@@jasondep thanks so much for the reply, they both sound like awesome bikes👍
i went for a test drive but i felt it way heavier than i saw on YT. I felt the engine braking was more
That's fair enough 😊 I definitely felt it was heavy too when I first jumped on it but got used to it after some time but felt most of the weight was down low making it fairly stable 😊
@@jasondep I see
i've got 337 out of my tank riding it like a hooligan. A bike made to be riden!
Now that's what I call engineering for rider enjoyment! That's awesome you're getting that much out of one tank 🙌
@@jasondep I think they run the fuel map deliberately lean to get under Euro5 emissions standards. You'd probably get alot more performance with a less frugal setup 🤷
Great review. What are your front and rear tyre sizes, the rear looks wider?
Yup rear is wider 😊 tyre sizes are
- Front tyre is 100/90
-Rear tyre is 130/70
@@jasondep 130/70 is stock size...maybe the different brand of tyre makes it look wider?
Not really sure sorry 😕 it's one thing I forgot to check and mention and that is the actual tyre brand
@@jasondep It seems that you have a Michelin Road classic (front) and a Bridgestone BT46 (rear) wich are far better than the crappy original tyres (Pirelli Phantom or Ceat)
@@morgan.enfield ah okay thanks! they definitely felt very planted on the road and didn't make me feel like the bike would slip from under me at any point 🙌
Super... Love your clip keep up 👍
🙌
Is this video without OIS, seems a bit shaky
Yeah I definitely noticed the shakiness, currently using a Moza Mini gimbal and it's not the best at leveling out my shaky hands especially when it comes to small movements, all the B-roll was shot multiple times, and I took the best non shaky moments but I also slowed down those B-roll footage to try and lessen the shaky effect best I could, hoping I get better with it and eventually get better equipment too 😅
I Ike your enthusiasm.
Thank you! Much appreciated 🙌 Definitely checkout my new video th-cam.com/video/e2AhoIru7lI/w-d-xo.html 😅
is it suited for taller, heavier riders?
I'd say so and I believe it has preload adjustment in the rear suspension as well to tailor to a riders weight 😊
@@jasondep thanks!
Ouch. If only the bike was as good as your content.
Thanks? 😅
@@jasondep LOL. Love your content, my man. Hate RE though for the stupid region based releases. The bikes they release in India has QC issues beyond measure. And they sell only because it's cheap. Sold mine in 3 months and went back to Triumph. Never touching an RE again. I'm sure the units there are better built, as they have been historically.
@@Mechnizmo88 appreciate the feedback man 😅 and fair enough, it's interesting that a company like RE won't doesn't maintain same level of quality across all their sales regions, hopefully it gets better, this one certainly felt well put together
@@jasondep Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I am from India and REs are very famous here. Loved, too.
Certainly it is as good as the content!
👍👍👍🙏
🙌🙌🙌
holy crap man, the level of quality on this is insane. you need more subscribers for sure. this thing is my dream ride. im definitely subscribing now 🤍
Thanks man! Really appreciate it ♥️ I'm definitely wanting one myself too 😅
I'd say that the Continental GT is closer to being a touring bike seeing as you're able to get saddlebags as one of the accessories
Agreed! Definitely a bike that I see as fairly robust and versatile, built on a solid platform 🙌
Sadly no seat comfort for 6-footer or more :(
Yeah I'm around 5ft 6/7incish and I found the seat to be uncomfortable at first too, but I'm wondering if it would've gotten better if I rode it long term 😅
you can change it to touring seat which RE has as accessory..it changes the bike
There are plenty of riders in Europe who are more than 6’ and you are the first whinny!
whats that exhaust?
S&S exhaust 😊
I cringe every time I see you driving between cars waiting at a light. That's illegal as hell on the west coast of Canada. Not to mention, some of the drivers you're trying to pass could see you coming and crack open their doors just for sh*ts and grins. Maybe we're not all that tolerant here. So...if the police don't get you, your fellow road users will. Just something to keep in mind.
@weldorman Fair enough, but it's legal to lane filter here in the state of Queensland in Australia 😊 and in my experience drivers over here don't actually try to open their doors to stop a biker filtering, in fact sometimes they move over a little to let you through 😊 plus the police bikers also filter especially in heavy traffic to see if anyone is using their phone 😅
@Jason Dep in the states people can get funny about it too even though it's not illegal in most states.
Nice review. Gonna check one out myself
47 hp? No! It's not perfect. 650 twin parallels should produce at least 70 hp. It's tame for my liking . I am 56 but this kind of motorcycle is lame.
I think the power from factory is focused on providing a platform for beginner to intermediate riders 😊 but definitely with aftermarket parts and tuning I'm sure the power can be increased 🙌
