Haven't heard of the breaking, at what point does it happen? Any way to reinforce it before it happens? And Yes, the touring seat is night and day difference.
Seat is definitely sore point. But upgrade seat or condition youself. I did 4 or 5 10h 580 km ride(include 2-3 h total breaks). What i found useful is a 600 rupees cycling shorts , ditch innerwear and wear pants with no rear pockets(like jeans) even using a stock seat.
Hello Bhai Appreciate such a detailed video. I’m 24, 5’8 and weight 65KGs, with an average physique I’d say I have a great experience with scooters (traffic, highways, solo, pillion, with luggage etc in all sorts of terrain) I recently learnt to ride a bike I can’t afford to have multiple bikes hence looking for one bike that can do it all. Is interceptor 650 a good transition for me? (I know it’s more than 200 kg and has high power for Indian roads, hence a sane mind says not to go for it) The problem I have with going with a small bike is that I’ll outgrow it soon and I want to keep my bike for at least 4-5 yrs (cuz I plan on to move onto cars post that) Do you think interceptor will be a good choice or should I settle for something of a lesser weight? Cuz I think it’s only the weight that seems intimidating because I believe I will have that throttle control until I’m fully connected to the bike PS: I’ll be commuting 60-70% of my time (includes Mumbai traffic) and rest on highway tours Please guide bro, should I go for it or not Thanks in advance
Which one will be better in Bangalore - 390ADV or INT 650. Mostly I will ride in Bangalore City with mild highway rides with a pillion. No trail riding on the cards, nothing as of now. Thanks
Bro you're still in a school or what? There's no harm in changing the silencers on the bike it just saves weight, this is not even the straight pipe one, they are much louder and makes it a little faster too.
Hey brother. Amazing video. I too own an Interceptor mark 2 and planning to get a PPF done. Do you have any suggestion/advice whether I should get the PPF done on the bike or not? If yes, do you know any decent place in Bangalore to get the PPF done? Thanks in advance!
Imagine, all the traffic police in india are given a interceptor 650 as a interceptor vehicle 😂. White paint job, red blue lights, fully faired and tuned by RE for the most performance. The fastest police bike is called interceptor 650.
I have booked my INT 650 last Monday with (60 Days of waiting) Then I came across an article on Royal Enfield Interceptor, Continental GT 650 to get alloy wheels soon (March End) After reading this article I called the RE showroom to check whether they have any News on this They straight away denied it as they don’t have any News on this I am pretty confused Please help should I cancel and wait for the new updated one
literally said that devil exhausts are not street legal but why not?!! One of the reasons that motorcyclists are frowned upon here..who cares right, why not😂
Hang on- did you said a 30 litre topbox? 30 lts really? You will know that interceptor does not have a long wheelbase. To add to that, the seat is also short one, which barely fits two people. So forget about doing any teenager tripling adventure on this one. So, with that said - the end of the seat is the end of chassis!! If you tie any topbox or luggage which sits on that fellow, there is no way it will take that load!! No! At most a 3 kg load is acceptable. You put the luggage at the seat itself and a little bit outside of it should be fine, because that is well inside the chassis. Imagine riding at 100-120 kmph on a highway with a minor bump on the road, the kind of jerk that supporting base has to bear will be huge! And riding for days with that setup only tests the limit. Also, putting such a big load at the far end of a bike increases risk of imbalance. You never want to have the rear end heavy or takes its own ride in cornering and stuff.
@@bikenbiker1580 Thanks for replying. My message was not to offend you but Interceptor is a Retro Motorcycle then why would you attach a Sports Motorcycle type Exhaust Pipe? Not that the stock Exhaust Pipes are very attractive but you should check out Triumph Bonneville T100 or T120, they look so amazingly beautiful.
Impressed by the quality of the review.. Clear, precise and excellent points to be considered.. Big fan of Interceptor!! Keep rocking
Glad you liked it

Changed my fork oil to 20w and solved the cornering and front diving issues. I also up the amount by 500ml each.
No leakage?
@@vedangmarathe1574 No, nothing.
What about ride quality

Venhill featherlight clutch cable makes the clutch operation a dream..
Are these available in India? Can you share the link.

Great review and straight to the point, glad there was no beat about the bush. Also the music was an added attraction
Cheers

Change the front fork oil to liqui moly 10w or 15w, the problem will to solved to some extent.
Bro
The videography int his video is top notch .
I can't find a reason why you are still with 2k subscribers .
Nice video

Hello Bhai

Please guide bro, should I go for it or not
Thanks in advance
Which model year is this?
Which one will be better in Bangalore - 390ADV or INT 650. Mostly I will ride in Bangalore City with mild highway rides with a pillion. No trail riding on the cards, nothing as of now. Thanks
I own int 650 sunset strip. Just love❤❤
Yeah, obviously don't use the illegal exhausts. No point showing this video to the cops when caught
I exactly thought of same as soon as he said "Why not?"
Illegal itself means we shouldn't do it 😅
Bro you're still in a school or what? There's no harm in changing the silencers on the bike it just saves weight, this is not even the straight pipe one, they are much louder and makes it a little faster too.
Stop being a child😅
Kindly do a video on Rakesh G’s interceptor
sorry, we do not have that motorcycle now.
Great video!
Thank you

Yes, definitely you can try Autotriz or Quadra 4 detailing

Wow the intro is impressive 😮
Glad you liked it
Can 5.5 height and 60kg weight ride this bike comfortably???
Ride...yes..for sure, pulling the bike out of a parking will be the issue, we have to be careful where we are parking the bike
Hey brother, you did not mention about the windscreen!
Yes, thats the givi windscreen!
@@bikenbiker1580 thanks a lot

I purchased a 40 litres top box recently from Trek n ride. Will that cause a prob to the chassis?
Plastic boxes shouldnt be a problem
I like.Royal Enfield
Hello great material very nice mounted ;)

@mubeen4110 the best bike has some heating issues but it’s a 650 cc so u will get heat leaving that it’s just amazing to ride 😁

Why such UGLY EXHAUST PIPES? Why people spend money to make their motorcycles look ugly, is a question that I always asked?
These are pretty much the options available for the 650 twins, most brands make the same design.
