A true work of art- a friend at university had one-old even then- as with all old Brit bikes a swine to start, if it didn't launch you into orbit- but real stump pulling power
In the mid-1960's my cousin gave me a ride on his Interceptor and the sound of it won me over, that is the "British twin" sound at its best. This 1968 reminds me of my 1972 BSA Thunderbolt as far as kick-starting and gear ratios; fourth gear was right on top of third, easy to get them mixed-up. In May, 2020 I bought a 2020 650INT that now displaces 743cc and have ridden it 35,000 miles so far...love these 750's.
@@forgottenmotorcycles actually; yes I do. After another couple hundred miles I will drain the Motul mineral oil and begin to switch over to 4T full synthetic. Then the fun can begin! Edit: mid-August and 31,000+ miles total, 4,000 miles as a "750". Very satisfied with the results...

Or, you can buy the big-bore kit from Parts Giant in the U.S. Some machining is necessary and then it is basic assembly (reassembly) which I have done many times on a variety of vehicles, most air-cooled VW and Porsche. Compared to the stock 648cc it feels like another 250cc. Kit is about $700
Wow, that sure brought back memories of my '69 Enfield 750 Interceptor. And yes, you sure had to concentrate on the shifting and braking. Incidentally, that tank is chrome under that red stripe as well. Those were as good as it got back then.
The way I start bikes like that are by standing up on the bike while it's on the stand. Place one foot on the left peg & the other on the kick starter. Then come down hard with your weight towards the lick starter. Much easier using weight than just your upper right leg.
Yes that is my understanding. RE wanted to satisfy the American market’s need for speed. British enthusiasts today will pay good money for one to be shipped back to Britain.
Sir please I need old royal Enfield bullet 750 please help me how to buy Sir, if anyone sends it, please tell me. If you don't want, we are ready to buy.
A true icon among British motorcycles.
Amazing motorcycle, for sure. Wahoo!

Is it true tgat interceptor 750 was made for American market?
That's what I've been told. That is wasn't realist in the UK. Not sure if fact or fiction?
Yes that is my understanding. RE wanted to satisfy the American market’s need for speed. British enthusiasts today will pay good money for one to be shipped back to Britain.
Love the style of the British bikes, but the valve noise of them drives me nuts.
It was a real privilege to ride this amazing bike. Wahoo!
