KTM Duke 390 vs RE Interceptor 650: Which used bike is worth your 2 LACS?

Today we answer the age old question of should you buy the Duke 390 or the Interceptor 650? Both bikes are probably the best buys in the Indian bike market currently with the KTM Duke 390 slam dunking each and every bike around it with its absurd performance and the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 giving you that big bike feel in under 4 Lacs! But the best part is, both of these insane machines are now abundant in the used market for around 2 Lacs! So which one should you spend your money on cause trust me, it is a very hard decision!

I own an Interceptor 650 and am am in awe of it !! Has great road presence, upright posture and riding it anywhere is a fun. True classic roadster !

[@Moonlight-hq3gi]

a little weight reduction would make it more fun...190kgs seems good for it's power figures

[@__7000rpm]

May I please know what's your height, and how much does the footpeg positioning annoy you?

[@__7000rpm]

This is the most informative (That too, so much real-life usable information!) Duke vs Interceptor video on TH-cam today. Love how so much experience has been condensed so nicely in under 7 minutes. Thanks for the video!

[@vinodsshetty2]

Thank you. You addressed my most important concerns about the confusion between the two. I am sticking with my RE 500 for now..!! Cheers and thanks.

[@craiggonsalves2690]

Buddy your wrong about the 390s lack of power in low end. There’s no need of downshifting. It has enough power at all gears. Ride the bike well before reviewing it. Also depends on the rider, not on the bike. My personal experience of owning it.

[@johannfernandes9659]

The music is so Trippy 🖤

[@getnaresh]

What about Dominar 400? It has the best of both worlds. A perfect tourer isn't it?
Comfort as Interceptor 650, fun like duke 390. And it's much cheaper in 2nd hand market than these bikes.

[@vanshkukreja5575]

It's a compromise of both neither fun due to being so heavy and not as good of a tourer as RE

[@yousuff_]

Nah, it doesn't have even come close to the raw power of 390 engine...it kinda compromise on both fronts but it is pretty comfortable to sit on

[@vanshkukreja5575]

@@yousuff_ exactly what I said

[@yousuff_]

@@vanshkukreja5575 yep

[@GavinMarkable]

Have both.. They both bring something to the table

[@Cloveyt]

Great video guys! keep up the good work!

[@TheDriversHub]

Thank you for providing your pride sir 🙏

[@pranav-oc5cx]

I agree with most points you mentioned but as far as I know, the duke doesnt have short but infact tall gearing.

[@pranav-oc5cx]

@RUN absolutely. Having owned the 200 for over 3 years, i was always amazed at how early it would hit the redline, forcing one to upshift

[@badasstech]

@RUN ninja 300 have 13000 considering opponents duke have short gears

[@saqibshaikh8312]

Duke 390 till I'm young! Interceptor once I get married!😶

[@kaustub_98]

Thanks for such and amazing video and pointing out the little details.

[@Moonlight-hq3gi]

the major con of 650 twins are it's weight...180-190kg is enough for it's performance

[@prateeksharma512]

I wanted to see video about used bike options like this. As its fun to know what ur money can buy if you try used bike.

[@aryandevne3181]

Great video🔥🔥

[@AutoKay]

Any idea what should be the asking price for a 2019 INT650 with ~5k kms

[@abhijeetchavan13]

2 lakh to 2.5L

[@hoshangbhagwagar567]

i have both, and love 'em

[@robbiemargot3915]

Make videos on them

[@sagarborah5359]

Keep bluffing Chacha

[@dhruvjanbandhu9416]

Would go for the Duke 390 🤝

[@aravindkumar4625]

What about the vibrations
Either Duke or Interceptor which vibrates

[@aravindkumar4625]

@RUN thank you

[@avim4896]

Meanwhile I'm good holding on with my Gixxer

[@twintourer007]

Wednesday I'm taking my interceptor 650 delivery

[@subramanip8434]

What about RE reliability? I know that Both KTM and RE can't stand infront of Japanese's big 4 in terms of reliability. But reliability and maintenance will RE score over Duke 390 in long term?

[@mayurnarayan1]

I can never see myself riding a cruiser , sports bike anyday 👊

[@RimZeime]

I wouldn't call this is cruiser it's more ljke a roadster

[@RIDEWIDVISHAL]

Hello brother need suggestions.
I have a deal of interceptor 650 in 2.10 lacs april 2022 model cash purchase on paper. No accident no dents nothing is there. Run only 5400 but clutch plat changed. I have one small doubt that how clutch plates changed after only 5k run.
Please suggest me should i consider this or leave. The were asking 28000 but after 9days of negotiations finally they agreed with 2.10lac.
Please reply.
Thanks in advance

[@chandrucool2006]

Thanks bro . I've decided to go with interceptor 650. However is there any fix to pegs situation?

[@__7000rpm]

Did you get it? Found any solution to the pegs discomfort?

[@prathameshmajik]

Get the continental GT pegs

[@iamjkjay]

Make something for RR310

[@Moonlight-hq3gi]

650 looks 🔥

[@HarigovindSasi]

Just get a used RR310

[@chiragrawat3652]

Interceptor is a really gud bike but sorry Duke is ❤️
