  • Join us in this video taking a short break from the workshop to get some miles during a yellow weather warning.
    Having taken the 2024 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 to Scotland and around Dumfries and Galloway we venture south. Heading home we experience snake pass and give our final thoughts on the Royal Enfield Interceptor before handing it back.

    Just goes to show that you really don't need a big bike with ridiculous amounts of horses & tech to enjoy touring or riding in general. I think a lot of people are now realising this & its shown in the latest industry sales figures, with lower HP simple modern classics now ruling the roost. As the oft repeated line states: "Its more fun to ride a slow bike fast, than ride a fast bike slow". Thanks again for another great video.

      There is something nice about few bells and whistles, funny you should include that quote, i'd not heard it before yesterday and it's come up several times! Thanks for viewing and taking the time to comment. Ride safe.

    You are such a genuine and modest couple and your content is so relatable that every video is a pleasure to share. The RE Interceptor is a great machine at a very accessible price and is ‘as much bike’ as most of us will ever need. I see the new 650 Classic is now a reality so let’s look forward to when you can get a loaner to give us your unique perspective.

    • @TheWurks
      @TheWurks  21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Cheers pal, it really is a great bike, you get a lot of bike for the price point. Ooh it would be awesome to try the 650 classic, will have to reach out to RE and see if they'll trust us. Thanks for your support and your comment. Ride safe

    and E! Looks like a brilliant trip! I'm glad you were able to get away for some free time. I do realize that it isn't all fun and joy as, I'm sure, there is considerable editing and more to do! Rest assured your work is reaching an appreciative audience. Oh, and let Royal Enfield know you made them a sale. We added an Interceptor to our family stable and your comments were of great value to us! Thanks again

    Watched all this series of videos and if I was in for a bigger bike yes it’s the way to go, I ride a hunter and 350 is big enough for me at max120 day trips around the lakes and dales, your a great couple down to earth no fancy nonsense true to form, thank you both and if manufacturers want honest test rides then they need you two,NW biker dude from Morecambe,

    Great video, I owned an interceptor for a couple of years, great bikes. The passenger foot peg relocation, plates which you can buy from India for a good price make a big difference for the passenger. The seat you have on is the comfort seat, I found it good, especially after having the original seat on it, which I found very uncomfortable. I have a 2008 Bonneville now, which I love. Keep up the good work, well done

    • @TheWurks

    Great content guys, very professional production, you're really suited to this style of bike review whilst on a short trip/popping out for coffee etc, I hope you can do more of this kind of thing. I really like the workshop vids too, but this sort of series delivers tons of believable and welcome inspiration, thanks so much for sharing 💪🏼

    Hi Guys.. i left a post before asking about your thoughts on the Black Ray because i just bought one but was 2 weeks from getting home to ride it. Today i put in 100kms of break-in miles, cool down cycles, and i have to say, its a damn nice bike. Touring seat maybe and bar risers but.. thank you to someone who commented that hitchcocks do a bar rising kit that hopefully i can get imported into the philippines. keep it up both of you.. great channel.

    Great video. An honest review of a lovely bike. Sitting here in a hotel room watching this after doing a 2 day very very wet tour of the Cotswolds (there was a chap here on the tour on a beautiful RE 650). Would love to see you explore more parts of the UK on a bike, very watchable.

    • @TheWurks
      @TheWurks  21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Really enjoyed your adventures travelling around Scotland on the little Interceptor.
    Genuine ambassadors from genuine people.
    I guess future longish rides will give you both the enjoyment & experience to venture out in all directions of the compass!
    I also have your stickers on the side of my helmet proudly showing how great you folks are!
    Now, back to work & back to Emily's world famous slippers!
    Winter is coming as my summer is!
    Cheers genuine kind folks.

    You're just the guy to find and figure out a non-upswept exhaust option so that larger capacity side cases can be mounted. Really like my GIVI E22N cases, but would love maybe 3-5 liters more per side in something aluminum. Guess their rear rack and top cases would be a good option too, but much prefer the aesthetic of just side cases. Cheers

    A great little mini-series, really enjoyed that! I'm currently making my way through editing a mini series of my own of a trip I did in August on my Interceptor to France. I had the smallest bike of our group of three (the others were a Dyna Wide Glide and a GS1200 Adventure), but it held its own really well. They're great little bikes and I think I'd really struggle to let mine go now after owning it for over three years.

    • @TheWurks
      @TheWurks  21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Oh wow a trip to France sounds brilliant. You'll have to share a link of it when you've finished it. The Interceptor is a great bike. Glad you enjoy yours. Ride safe.

    How did you find Matlock, the Peak District "mecca" 😂 I'm lucky in that it's only 25 minutes away but there's so much more to explore around here and much more exciting on a bike than in a car. I think there's a comfier touring seat available for the Interceptor 😊 Did you get your license Emily? I first came across your channel when you were working on the Mutt .

    • @TheWurks
      @TheWurks  20 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      We hadn't been through Matlock for a long time, we were really surprised at how much investment has been made. There were lots of places to choose from for food/drink and some lovely shops. The Peak District roads are most certainly better on a bike, couldn't agree more. I didn't, I rode the Mutt for a little while but couldn't shake the feeling of vulnerability. I don't feel unsafe with Joe, struggled to find confidence in myself. I still toy with the idea of giving it another go one day. Maybe in the summer months if I try again. Thanks for commenting.

    Dont like to BSA the new look no . The radiator looks crap. The Triumph look cool. Haven't ridden one yet but could you tell me which is the better ride. I am 65 years old and have ridden everything at this point . Jeans now that's another question . I don't have the cash that Freddie has so a London firm not on . I need a good budget pair of biker jeans . Your both so funny and i love your streams . As a bike Mechanic i really appreciate your tech streams . Thanks 👍👍👍

    Hi love your streams . What head sets are you using . My wife has decided to go out on the bike with me for the first time in 40 years so i need to make sure that we can talk on the bike. We have HJC lids my lid is a flip up . Love the bike i am buying a new bike later this year and i have to say the the Interceptor looks just about right . HP is so important to me as i was thinking about the RE Hym buy the HP is far to low for me.

    Royal Enfields eat miles, even the small ones. I've done ten hours on my Himalayan before, and it never skipped a beat. Granted, I'd rather do eight, or six, but, if pressed, I can ride longer.
