My 2020 Interceptor has nearly 75,000 kilometers (46,500 miles) and has the original battery, clutch and throttle cables, all bulbs except headlight bulb has been replaced twice; other than oil changes, 2 chains, sprockets, sintered brake pads, 5 rear tires and 4 front tires it has needed nothing. Best buy-value in motorcycling 😊
I loved mine and will probably have another one day. Liking the look of the new Int Bear 650. What tyres were you running to get such good mileage. Pirellis lasted less than 4000 miles on the rear of mine!
@peterclatworthy3695 running Bridgestone "Spitfire" 110/90 on the front and getting 15,000 miles (I bought 4 of the Spitfire 11F tires when they discontinued them). On the rear I have used 5 Bridgestone Battlax BT-46 140/70 and get about 9,000 miles out of each one.
My 2022 Orange crush Interceptor has been super reliable down here in OZ , The only thing that has happened is , is that sometimes the neutral light tells fib's , its not actually in neutral a pain when it first happened but now I just check for neutral by letting the clutch out a little , like I always did on my 1952 Norton ES2 500 , and 1966 650 Triumph Saint , 1972 Commando , 1979 Bonnie etc , we are spoilt today with the tech that will let you down every time . Thanks again for a great report .
I'm similar to you, I'm 67 , I've been riding motorcycles for about 51 years now, had all sorts of motorcycles sizes and make's, At present i own a Royal Enfield Interceptor, I bought new in 2021 Absolutely love it, It's got a DNA Air Filter, Reverse Cone Megas Silencer's, a Fuel X Lite System, and a 16 tooth cog conversion, The fuel X is really good for the engine, It's so smooth and cool running, I also own a Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Being 5'7" it's pretty good for me, Not so good for taller chaps, I've fitted a DNA Air Filter, Powerage Silencer and a 16 tooth cog conversion, and a fuel X lite system on this as well, I bought my Hunter September 2023, I do all my own servicing, These bikes are absolutely brilliant for that 👍 And you are correct in telling people that bike's like the Interceptor have to be looked after, I get sick of folks complaining about them, mostly nowadays folks are idol, and expect bike's to clean themselves or something LOL 😅 Cheers Paul 👍
Owned my INT for 2 years now, and it still looks as good as new. Granted, I've swapped some parts out for TEC ones (rear struts, exhausts), but it hasn't missed a beat. Nice looking conversion you've done there 👍
Hi there! I bought the RE Super Meteor 650 last year. Apart from really needing better rear suspension, and a better back brake especially two up at 60 or 70 mph nothing bad whatsoever to report. That said I am going to replace the relays this year even though I have never had any starting or stalling issues. She runs very happy two-up at 70mph on a long run. Thanks for sharing this sir 👍 and safe riding...
@@leswatson8563 Thank you for you comments. I have a few vehicles to look after on an income below the national average. Personally I wouldn't change the relays if I was not having problems with them. People seem keen to fit Bosch relays. I have been very fortunate on my travels in terms of breakdowns but Bosch items have left me at the side of the road more than once!
Not quite twice the price but at least £3000 more. I am a huge fan of the Enfield but I feel that its worth pointing out where the finish is compromised by the price. In many ways the Enfield is a superior product to the T100 and I intend to point those areas out in a review and comparison with my current 2023 T100.
7 months 2 week 3 day retirement vacation. I'm am very happy with my bike. Impressive with handle highway speeds of 75-85. All the was in 90-95. My motorcycle handles this speeds for hours on end. Never washed her from showroom. Been clean her since getting home. And cleaning up to new. Polishing aluminum is easy. If you know what to do. I am impressed. People brag to me all the time because of her look. Were is that made. Who makes it. And, is that your set. I didn't like the sock on. I made my own set pan. Custom fit. And I ride 3 or 4 hours comfortably. And people don't believe me. I Don't care my design is more Impressive than it looks. Brand new this Christmas. And turns towards 14,000 miles. Not kept in door. My one friend as 140,000 on his Norton. I won't make that at 62. Yet, I'll do my best to try. People I hear. Motorcycle can't get dirt. Can't ride in rain. I hear a lot of cants. This modern motorcycle are well built. And can handle getting dirty for months on end. I'm so happy with my 650 Gt. Proud owner B+!: )Jamie
got a year left on my triumph before i bow out or give them 6 grand. not sure what i’m going to do. i LOVE the bobber. it’s perfect. but… by a year i don’t think it will even be worth 6 grand. and i could have a brand new RE 650 classic. hmm.
She's a pretty bike and nice job on the paintwork. I think the GT is a very pretty bike and a younger me who was not such a fat old b"stard, would definitely have gone for one of those. As it is, the 500 classic will do nicely.

I use Shinko 705 on my Interceptor
That's good to know, don't see a lot with high (relatively) mileage 👍

Great job on the paint work! Yeah, the stainless spokes and alloy rims are a plus. RE hit the sweet spot with the Interceptor
The good thing about stamped pedals is that they bend rather than snap if the bike should fall over and they can easily be pulled back into shape. 😁😁

Very nice. I do think I would find the continental style more comfortable also. Your bike looks very nice!

@@thomascharnock thanks
Nice looking interceptor/GT Continental 👍
The third gear problem is very common, search and you will find it all over the world in the 2019/2023 models, good video!! Greetings from Argentina
@@golgti1 The only 3rd gear issue that I have heard of is a batch that stripped some teeth off 3rd gear. Is this the problem you refer to?

I have the same phone holder on 3 bikes, such good value.
They are. It was a present. I have some pangs of guilt because it is a plagiarized from a british design.
