BMW 310 GS, Royal enfield Meteor and Himalayan ഇതിൽ ഇതാണ് ഡെയിലി യുസിന് നല്ലത്? സാധാരണ ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ മാക്സിമം 30 km, അവധി ദിവസങ്ങളിൽ long drive 400-600 km ആയിരിക്കും. സ്ഥലം ഫ്രാൻസ് ആണ്, അതോണ്ട് വില ഏകദേശം meteor 4400 euros, himalayan 5500 and bmw gs 6300 ഉം ആണ്. അതല്ലെങ്കിൽ കുറച്ചു കൂടി ബഡ്ജറ്റ് കൂട്ടി triumph bonneville സീരീസ് നോക്കുന്നതാണോ നല്ലത്?
0:10 - Best line from a motorcycle enthusiast 😍
This is my favourite ‘modern classic’ of all time.
Who needs high-end power when you have plenty of low-down torque?
You may not have hates to any motorcycle but I hated the interceptor so much for it's shit ergonomics that I fought tooth and nail to get my money back after paying up to book one...and instead bought the street twin...cos land may meet the sky on the horizon but land cannot become the sky just as the interceptor can never become the Triumph Bonnie's!
Interceptor is based on the original Royal Enfield Interceptor not the Boneville.
That's absolutely true.
But the engine they replicated from latest bonnies. New interceptor has oversquare engine with 270 degree crank exactly like Bonnies. Even they made the same whistling engine noise too. So it just has same name as in 1960s, but mechanically it's a triumph replica.
Nice review....
Eagerly waiting for Speed Twin review. This seems to be a fantastic bike. No reviews from India in recent times.
Ashante video vannal kanathe irikan vayya❤️
thank you for giving me the clarity that why I would never want a bike like this.
Good content. I like most of your videos and the things that you usually talk in those videos.
if you install the seat of a 2016 street Twin (which it should fit) You would gain another inch lower.
Could you please review bonville speedmaster 2023 chrome edition ?
Between an interceptor and a Honda hness which one would you recommend?
Interceptor easily for the power. The Hness is nice looking but that 350cc engine just doesn't cut it (for me atleast).
Royal Enfield hunter 350 resembles same design and jawa 42 same city ride

First
Is the low ground clearance an issue with only the 1200cc speed twin or is it the same with the 900cc as well?
yes, it is a concern in all bonnevilles.
The reason everyone brings RE 650 twins into the conversation is that they think it's the one motorcycle you'll ever need.Let's face it, people are here are damn cheap. They want litre class performance u the price of a splendor.
In India, motorcycle still isn't passion. Look at motorcyclists from other countries, where people actually own tons of different motorcycles in their life before settling down with one or two in their garage.
RE makes cheapest bikes with no big innovation whatsoever and people here just eat it like it's the best.
I was actually confused between Interceptor and Street Twin..but after watching your video i was very much clear and booked Street Twin
🤡budget
how tf can u be confused between 3.5 lac and a 10 lac motorcycle man😭😭
As they belong to almost similar category@@pulkitpandey2416
Some people have confusion among similar bikes of same category rather than ludicrous comparisons of different bikes of almost similar price tag. Real comparison is always based on a similar category.
😂😂@@pulkitpandey2416
You can get a marble patterned tile in your house and actual Italian marble. They may look similar from a distance but when you look closely you would know why the 10 times price. RE is excellent bike, a charm ! However its quality can not be matched to Triumphs
Engine performance and good tail section this bike must been a top-end🔥😂
Triumph is good on all aspects... I feel it's better than Harley Davidson iron 883. Triumph Street Twin can be your everyday motorcycle but it doesn't give that big bike feel. Enough power for city commute and long rides. It's not a head Turner as a big motorcycle but it's smooth and really good.
These truimphs r modern machine just looks classic and all .. but iron 883 is not it's old
@@bonjovi1354 true...
@Abhishek. Personally I own a 1989model RE Standard 350. My uncle owns RE 1958 350, 1992 RE 500, Harley Davidson Fatboy, RX100, RXZ, RX135, New Dominar400 nad few others... These are all in house... We are a joint family.. So personally willing to buy a Triumph T100 as daily commute 😇
Hi Strell, need your opinion on my dilemma. I currently own Reborn Classic and a Hayabusa. After buying Busa last year, somehow I am feeling Reborn Classic way too boring. I want to replace Classic with something exciting. Classic does dual duty of city rides and occasional weekend rides to nearby villages for solitude. Sometimes wife accompanies me and she finds Classic conformable. I've shortlisted Interceptor (New) and Street Twin (Used). The budget is 4 to 4.5 lacs. Though, Interceptor looks no brainer, I am do not find it special and feel that I may outgrow it quickly. I am not sure about pillion comfort too. While Street Twin gives Badge satisfaction, I am not sure whether buying 6-7 year old Truimph will be a good idea. I plan to keep bike for 5 to 7 year and won't be changing it quickly. Your insights will be helpful.
Hi Strell, Can you please suggest couple of 650 cc bikes ? Short rider(5 ft 6 in) and for daily use, not a sporty rider .
Somehow I feel that the Street Triple R is the best among the Triumph lineup. Your comments @Strell !
RS is better
Even Speed triple is great
Dream bike for more than 7 yrs and it proves it's timeless design. Currently owns an Interceptor.
Hi Strell, the grap rail on the bike is from Triumph or after-market? If latter, please share source if you can
It's from triumph.
So when you use this "I've been using this motorcycle for couple days" it always reminds of MKBHD dude 😂
Love your videos..... Since the 250 cbr days.... 3 points..... 1 interceptor was based on the original 1960s original interceptor.... It was not copied from the Street Twin.... 2 yes the tires on this 10 lakh rupee motorcycle is not the best to justify the price.... 3 yes ground clearance is an issue especially if riding with a rear seat passenger.... It's a lovely motorcycle to ride.... And honestly no comparison to RE int 650.... Cheers 🙏
Its sad that people still believe that Interceptor was copied from Triumph Just because they don't know the History..
@Strell ..... Can we get review or at least ride impressions of Honda Goldwing.....?????@Strell
Let me try 😊
Strell bro I know that you are a true Honda fan, please make full performance video on Honda unicorn bs6 2022👍🏻🙋🏻♂️🎉🎊
When can i expect a vstorm 650 review.. Asking u from long time. 😐🙁
Its coming :) Review is shot :)
im in love with this bike
Honda CB 350 "RS" review cheyyamo..☺️
That review is already up there. Search for it.
@@Amit_R_Tudu is it for rs bro?
Did any see max quality issue? Im on one plus 7t and max res is only 480p..
It has only 5 gear, do you think it may be a concern for a 900 cc engine . This is the only point I am confused . I am planning to upgrade from my cbr250r to a 650 or 900 cc bike. Now my choice is between Z650rs and this one.
I always finish your video till the last second.
Right side unified switch for power start and kill switch + hazard switch, analog + digital console, bassy exhaust, comfortable crusing posture and overdrive 5th gear for crusing. All this in Honda Highness for 2.36L and long stroke single cylinder 🙂 and still sounds like a twin cylinder engine.
💯
Thought only I would think so. CB350 took lot of inspiration from this for suré!
Power ? Every bike has these features & some have good exhaust sound too. But power is the main purpose of having a 900cc
@@sreetam_dutta I was speaking about how Honda made a good bike within budget, I've compared whats similar and so not about power. Don't just come to point out randomly sir. Every bike has almost same features? Show me something similar to HondaRoadSync
And you conveniently forgot the horn position frustratingly interchanged is it!
Sure the quality would be nice it freaking costs 11 lakhs 😂 and sure you cannot compare this to RE Interceptor it barely touches 4 lakhs.
🏍️😍
very professional
What's the milage bro
why isnt the leg guard a standard accessory?
Hi strell... How is the NVH level?
Really good.
❤️
Great knowledge shared in this video! Cool to get a perspective from a rider in India.
Thumbnail 😘😘
Can this beauty do Delhi - Manali - Pang - Leh - Hanle - Drass - Sonamarg - Srinagar - Jammu route comfortably, considering the low ground clearance ? Is there a way to improve the ground clearance, without any effect on the perfect handling and riding dynamics ?….please advise
GC is much low for handling some of the ladakh routes. Suggest you to opt street scrambler.
@@harisankar5194 thanks for the reply!
I already own a ST 900, so unfortunately can’t opt for the Scrambler😒.
Hv decided to stick to the main route viz Manali - Pang - Leh - Kargil and back. I think this shud work with the ST 900.
@@paramsimran04 will be still difficult to manage some of the patches in those routes. Hope you have sump guard plate attached. ride safe..have a nice trip
@@harisankar5194 yeah, i do have a sump plate . Will be careful at the patches . Hoping for the best. I guess in recent past the road conditions have improved considerably, so hopefully will be a safe ride . Keeping fingers crossed.
Thanks for prompt response. Cheers
How was your trp?
Mate you speak well! 👍🏽
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
How much km fuel tank range ?
Very poor. May be just 200km effective or less in city.
its fuel tank is small, 12 litres. so usable will be 10litres. you can ride 250kms if you are cruising at 100kmph. range will become lesser if you gun it.
Lovely review....can it do touring...i mean windshield n all. And does it scrape its belly too often. I am seriously in love with this bike....but am torn between this and the bmw 850gs....entirely different genres...I agree....but then Love is blind..
awesome review dear, clear crisp and to the point.
thanks
yes. it might scrape the underbelly on big humps. you need to careful. expect that, its good touring.
Strell😌🤍
🏍️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If u get street scrambler , plz do review it.
100 times better than interceptor. Also it doesn't brake chassis🤣
Really is it better? So if we buy a machine which costs 9 lakh than paying only 4 lakh, we will get better motorbike? What a compare.
Lol
@@RaunakPSingh hey man, may be Ravi isn't wrong completely...Ok so more money don't buy you a better performing motorcycle atleast engine wise, but the built quality is on a different level. Just like MS swift and a Mercedes A class. U'r paying a premium for luxury, be it suspension, looks, gadget and gizmos, or a style statement. Cheers🥂
@@RaunakPSingh yeaahh exactly brooo… good reply to him❤️
Every motorcycles chassis can be broken if you handle them badly. The interceptor chassis break is only one in the whole world and the bike was thrashed very badly. I know the owner from FB and he later deleted the post as it was his mistake and he was trying to put the blame on the company.
Does it have a Slipper Clutch?
triumph another choice
This is 900,right??
yes
Great review...👍👏
How's the riding position for a 5ft6in guy...is it upright or forward leaning
little lean forward
Ye ye ye
This scrapes every speed breaker with only 130mm ground clearance, you have to get down if you have a pillion rider to cross a speed breaker; even bajaj avenger has 175mm ground clearance.
these kind of bikes are designed considering the road conditions of developed countries. Indian road humps are not scientifically designed and roads full of potholes. we dont have other options than being very cafeful to enjoy these bikes. else need to get ADVs :)
@@harisankar5194 if you are selling in India then makers should modify them and sell for india. Makers are just arrogant or lazy that they don't want to do the work.
@@ambig1 it may difficult for a company who do only CKD sales to make alterations to suspension or chassis just for a country
Are gears are automatic
Good evening everyone
Make a review on trident
Very honest review..
My dream bike
I am sorry Strell Interceptor with ECU flash ,quick shifter and fuel management system is any day Better than Triumph street Twin and which is still close to 7 lac cheaper.... and at a price tag of 10 lac... Its simply laughable the amount of sports bike option you have with used or new which has way more Power and torque figures than street twin.
Yeah its not meant to ride fast. Its a modern classic and it wouldnt be fair to compare it with sport bikes right?
It caters to a niche where people want more than an Int650 but less than a Speed Twin.
@@Spacenigga69 Well Strell talked like it was the end all be all hence the comparison.. Int 650 and Triumph are technically comparable.. because they fall under the same category, but 650cc to 900cc +7 lac expensive for roughly about 30% goods... Int 650 is a winner any day... If I have 11-12 lac and looking for a modern classic Bruh.. Kawasaki Z900 RS.. now compare that to Speed Twin... Bottom line is.. the moment you add the term Performance in a modern classic... you've got it all wrong.... Strell did... multiple times in this video and also said stupid shit like Interceptor is a wanna be Triumph... Poor bastard don't even know RE was releasing parallel and V twins before John Bloor lost his virginity lol
@@666Kudos Idk what you’re on about. Z900 RS isn’t great when it comes to fit and finish and build quality when compared to a speed twin. It even has superior components. But anyways, yeah the int650 is more of a VFM but that’s not what these bikes are about are they
@@Spacenigga69 So you randomly came to a conclusion that I have to buy your "fit and finish" theory of Z900RS just because you said it..? I think we as Indians have got this whole Being a biker concept wrong... everything has to be linked to Money and the number of Motorcycle on the road... KTM 390 is admired all over the world... But for Indians who are calculating VFM be like "BC everyone has 390 buy something else" I am sure if 900-1000 cc becomes as common as what it is in Europe or other 1st and 2nd world nations... Half of the Ignorant Indian moto vlogers will go out of job lol
@@666Kudos You don’t have to buy anything I’m saying. I’m simply stating facts. Triumph makes superior motorcycles than Kawasaki or RE when it comes to modern classics. I don’t understand your bias regarding that. Maybe try it out, get a general informed opinion of “experts”. It does cost a lot in India, yes. But the difference isn’t as steep somewhere like the US. Having owned both those bikes at some point, have I come to that conclusion. The rest is up to you. You are of course entitled to your own opinions.
Hai strell bro

Awesome review and your voice
A motorcycle for inr 10+ lakhs on road. And it has five gears!!!??!! 😭😭🤣🤣🤣😭🤣🤬🤬.. enuff said bruhh
Here's some food for thought buddy, adding a sixth gear, would make little to no sense/add benefit for this motorcycle. . . Torquey engine, available at a low RPM means not a lot of gear changes in city and combined that with a tall 5th gear for an effortless highway cruising = fantastic overall package. . .
@@radarroi27 no problem for a Street twin fanboy. Even they are ready to be clowny idiots (not meant for you bruh) to support the 5gear config in the street twin no matter what happens saying it has lots f torque, so No need of a 6th gear. Lmao.
Then why the heck a triumph speedtwin with even more torque [112nm. Street has ONLY 80nm] has a 6th gear. !??!! A 4gear config would be enuff for the speedtwin with Train like torque in it? No?
Atleast pls ride a 900 twin from triumph and learn about "gear ratios" just before you simply comment. at same speed, street twin engine runs at lower rpms 5th gear compared to 6th gear in interceptor. when the engine is much torquey, gears can be made taller. so a proper torquey engine even with taller 4 gear will be better to ride than same torque engine with a shorter 6 speed (on highways).
if you ask why T120 has 6th gear, first of all these are bikes not made by keeping indian roads in mind. 900 is made as a city bike considering developed country road conditions. so 5 gear is quite sufficient. they made T120 with more torque for their highway cruising (their motorway speeds). So 6th cog keep the rpm lowerat that speeds. since 1200 has higher torque, 6th will be easily pull from the cruising speeds. I rode a bobber 1200, you cannot use 6th gear below 120kmph without lugging. these two engines are made for a purpose considering different scenarios.
I own this bike, i can easily cruise at 120kmph at just 3900rpm in 5th gear (peak torque rpm), and that too with lots and lots grunt in reserve for super quick overtaking at that speed. you judge things on counting import duties doesnt have any logic.
@@harisankar5194 I didn't compare the interceptor with the street twin even once. 1st thing.
Secondly, for the hefty price (developing markets really buy a bike for 12lacs and five gears? Really? In my city I saw few bobbers, never seen a Street twin tho) triumph easily could get the customer a 6th gear for a better value proposition while he is paying already sooo much.
If I can pay 12 lac for a bike, I absolutely can pay 13lacs for a bike in one breath. Then I would obviously buy the street scrambler for ONLY 1.5lacs extra. In that scenario, street twin or the t100 makes very little sense as an attractive purchase for atleast the developing markets.
@@bel19119082008 hope you know street twin is the highest selling bonnevilles in the world. That sales numbers makes it clear that there is much more on a bike than its price and a gear. If everyone had same thought how you think, all street twin and T100 would have been in the factory itself.
Helpful
Just test rode a street twin few days back. I have to admit everyone must compare it with the interceptor 650. While the handlebar, grips , levers and footpegs are a bit more chunky just by a millimetre or two in the street twin, the paint, overall finish and build are very similar. Even the speedo console in street twin was a bit loose while that in the re 650 is very solidly bolted.
Performance. Similar top speed. May be 5 kmph more. In an open stretch, steet twin climbs to 100kmph faster by only 0.5 second. That is only noticable in hard acceleration in the race track. In normal traffic I didn't feel it much. But felt it somehow, to be honest, sometimes.
Street twin has low seat height which is a boon for shorter guys. Re 650 is taller.
Handling. Re 650 costs 3 times less than the triumph. But it handles 3 times better , lol. Yes.
650's Skinnier tyre makes it more nimble and just amazingly quicker in turns and lane-changing. Triumph looks sexy with fat rear rubber. But its heavy front end costs the steering geometry. It's so much slower to turn and those fat rear rubber makes it far less agile at the corner. It rolls like a cruiser. Needs prior thinking fr a sharp turn or a quick changing of a lane.
Sound. Both for stock exhaust..
Triumph is louder. More bass. But a bit monotonous growling.
Re 650. Quieter. Bass gets increased when engine is fully warmed up but still less than Triumph. The 650 Sound has more character and variations. Past 6000rpm sounds like old air cooled Ducati monster. 3000 to 5000 rpm , it has a nice bitchy tone. 2000 to 3200rpm , it has a nice mellow hi res mechanical sound.
Re 650. 3.6 L appx OTR
Street twin would have been very good for 6.5 L OTR as it has some better components as mentioned earlier as well as few good electronics. But close to 10 L?? Makes no sense.
Ya ofcourse, if money is not a concern, then.....u can even buy a 20hp vintage motorcycle fr 1crore..
But 650 sounds better than the street twin overall albeit the latter is louder and bassier
agree with your most points and pricing but there are some which cannot be comparable related to ride experience. Torque figures of street twin is 80nm @ 3800 rpm when RE interceptor torque is 52nm @5250rpm. This makes actually a huge difference in the in-gear acceleration. peak torque is from just 3800 rpm. thats makes some serious difference in real world ride.
Also Build quality and finish is just incomparable unlike you said. I dont say interceptor is a bad bike. its really good for its price. but triumph is way ahead if you check parts by parts analysis.
@@harisankar5194 for the build the street twin is not great it's good. If u say the Bonneville T100, yes that's with a great build quality. I saw the tank is better in the interceptor but ya, handlebar grips levers and switch gear is better in street twin. Wheels are better in the interceptor. Gearbox is much better in interceptor.
@@harisankar5194 if u say performance, interceptor is slower by less than a second in 0to60mph
52nm torque is alot to pull from 40 to 80 in 5th gear at ease. Only on a longer open stretch I saw the Train Like Pull of the triumph 900cc engine, otherwise, in normal traffic, I could hardly saw much difference.
The interceptor handles much better.
Street twin is front heavy, slower to turn and much less agile.
Also the fat rear tyre, while looks cooler, makes the street twin slow to change direction.
@@bel19119082008 i didnt say 52nm is bad. but when you compare with something, it matters. I own street twin and rode RE650. torque difference is visible on road. and Yes, may be lighter front end makes RE agile and easy in traffic. but triumph is something different once you get open roads. its not the fatter rear tyre make it bit slow change direction, its front heaviness affect it.
@@harisankar5194 it's both. Front heaviness and a fatter tyre contribute to that. My friend has installed upsized tyres in his 650 for the cool factor.. It now turns so bad xD. It needs much more lean angle and a lot of effort to steer the same turn. If I live in Germany and Autobahn is my commute triumph wins hands down.
In India, where none safe above 130 to 140kmph, street twin with 2.5 times the price, doesn't justify it. Cheers. Happy rides.
