Please do a long term review on any BENELLI ( preferably imperiale or leoncino 500). Everybody says that maintenance cost is high...so would be appreciated if you do a video on exactly how much it costs.
Mohd Jassir oh if that is the case why is Yamaha R3 which is a 4L bike maintenance cost is low... There are several reasons.. one being non localised parts and unusual maintenance... Benelli changes synthetic oil once in 4000 kms which is unusual because you can use synthetic oil upto 10k kms... Not sure why they do that but your argument of “paying more maintenance for 3L bike” is definitely invalid...
Hey, if you're planning to get one, go for it. True value for money bike. Comparatively less vibration, good service and ecoomical as well. And has a good cursing speed, btw we own one.
The oxidation is easily avoidable. This bike can still look great, even in places like the northern US states and the UK. Just keep it clean and use waxes and protectorants. Simple! But it was great to see that if it was basically ignored, it did rather well. Any idea if the footpeg problems - front and rear - will get any attention from the factory? Pillions are not happy on the Int. Thanks for the review!
Thank you! I've been looking for a motorcycle I can put a sidecar on and this may be it. I found a sidecar dealer here in the USA that has mounting kits for the RE Interceptor so no cutting, drilling, or welding required. I'm old so I need that third wheel to keep riding 😁. I was worried about long term reliability so you answered my questions about that. I wish RE would offer one without any chrome and all blacked out like the new Honda Rebel 1100 but that bike is not suitable for use with a sidecar.
Would be great to see longlively updates how these 650ies bikes hold. (20k, 50k, 100k, 150k km) since they are fairly new. Something like a french magazine did with yhe cb500 pc32 years ago. Too bad you had to send it back.
A great report on the 650, I really appreciate you showing all of the good and bad points. Have you considered a review of the Royal Enfield Himalayan? Thanks again for your review
I have been watching Autocar videos for all kind of review. Basis on the Autocar review I have bought Tata Nexon and RE Intercepter 650 in line ... May be I will get it by mid Fab ... I found this video very informative about the product .... Great Job Done
This long term review and certain mods performance and COL with bike does gi es the exact review for any person while thinking of buying a bike or car. Cheers!
I really appreciate these long term reviews. Almost all channels just review the bikes during their launch and then just forget about them. Nothing about long term durability and problems
I would be glad to hear about electrical components of the bike being reviewed. These days more than half of a motorcycle's mechanics requires the aid of a battery, that's why I request you guys to it a few pointers on that.
Good segment to start with. Would like to see long term reviews of Suzuki Access 125 & Burgman Street. Also, a review for the Dominar 400 will be appreciated too.
I bought a new interceptor in september 2019. I liked the bike really. Still I think Royal Enfield has annoying problem with gearbox. Even after 300 km and after first inspection 500 km. I am facing difficulty with gear change. So , for this money, a quite good bike. İmprovement in gearbox necessary.
You can also start with bikes made for the masses, such as Radeon, Splendor i3s, Platina, Dream Neo... etc. These are going to be the bread and butter of the sales chart.
Initially I have come across reviews pointing out couple of negative things about interceptor, however after using it for one year my experience is very good but I don't like it's suspension.
Great review, very informative. I'd like one but they're not quite fast enough for me, do they, be honest now, make up for it in the fun stakes? It did look a bit tatty on the casings after the monsoon. Is is due purely to the water or do you thunk road dirt contributed? Here in England we, obviously, don't have monsoons but we do get a lot of rain. And there's lots of dirt too!
Hi I'm looking forward to buy a Royal Enfield bike In my list I have interspector 650 and Gt 650 but I was confused 😕 which one to choose Can you give a suggestion on this topic?
It wobbles after 160 on interceptor 650 .what to do.. Didn't do earlier...stock pirelli tyres.. Alignment? Weight reduction? Air in tyre?...what's the issue..
Chill dude just service the bike on time and dont rough use it like going fast on bad roads or downshift more than 2 gears at once. You are good to go.
Nice .. would like to know what would be an ideal rpm n speed in 1st gear in slightly aggressive riding mode, In othe words if someone wants to ride a bit agressive what rpms/speeds would be his gear shifts would ideally be starting from first gear ... i mean aggressive without abusing the machine ?
Those foot pegs ! They got a special mention in every review :) I hope RE design team will take care of it in future updates. Rest are routine issues, part of every moving machinery.
Is it necessary to opt for buffing and polishing? Because I have to give my bike for the second service in another 2 months and I dont see any need to opt for buffing and polish.
