Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Review by Knox in the Lake District, England.
The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is a bike we've been wanting to ride for some time now and we've been following the Royal Enfield 650 twin project very closely since we first found out about it a couple of years ago!
We have to say that the anticipation for the RE Interceptor 650 is well justified, it rides beautifully, a real step up for Royal Enfield in the European market and already the 7th biggest selling machine in the UK to April... not a bad start!! The Interceptor 650 Royal Enfield does incredibly well, especially when you consider the price at £5499 OTR in the UK!
In this video, we cover all elements of the Interceptor 650, handling, the 650 twin engine, brakes, styling and how they are to ride. We also have to say that the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 sound is great as stock, with no need to change the exhaust in our opinion, great sound and great looks!
This is a longer video than normal, let us know whether you like it that long or whether you’d prefer it a bit shorter next time!?
We also got the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 at the same time and will be posting the video on this bike in a couple of weeks, so look out for that one!
All in all, we are real fans of the bike, and you can find out more on the Royal Enfield site here, www.royalenfield.com/uk/en/.

The dealer dropped my "Glitter and Dust" off at my house this morning. . So glad I held out for this version. It is, to me, the most beautiful of all of them. Remarkable to ride.. compared to my RE 500classic. So smooth. So easy to ride, the clutch and transmission are so precise. Acceleration is smooth and linear. I had an "opportunity" to do some really aggressive stopping with it.. the brakes are fabulous.

@seauryakumar 4 года назад

@@Marcus.Matthaius would you buy it if it were "Indian". Perception means a lot in Marketing and a lot of people have prejudice. British brand made in India sure I'll buy that but a fully Indian bike you won't even consider it. It's just the reality of things. TVS bought Norton and they will start making them in India eventually. But Norton is a heritage brand everyone's heard of. Nobody gives a fuck if TVS made the same bike and sold it as TVS. Worldwide Brand recognition supercedes

@noelchignell1048 4 года назад

Shaurya Kumar Gautam well lets hope TVS do a better job of making Nortons as the ones made in England have always been rubbish : I had a 1965 Norton Atlas which I put an 850 Commando motor in which was very cool and really fun to ride but hopelessly unreliable

@jijoalexkakkatiu118 4 года назад

@@noelchignell1048 If TVS decides to make Nortons like they make bikes it will be fun. TVS will always make Davids never Goliaths. For example, 20 years ago when the largest displacement we had were 250's from Honda and Indian manufacturers didn't go above 225 cc in India, TVS didn't go beyond 180 cc but they were mad as hell. They actually gave the bigger bored singles a run for their money. I guess this stems from their history in motorsports in India. So if they come with a middleweight Norton, it will surely be brutal.

Triumph street twin ain't worth over 8 grand their not even British made triumph are to greedy when you look at the interceptor its thousands cheaper accessories are cheap looks better than a street twin has the heritage at long last a classic bike with a reasonable price tag well done royal enfield

@KnoxArmour 5 лет назад

Hi John, still think the Triumph is a great bike too and has some features the Royal doesnt have, but sure the Enfield is super amazingly priced. Of course, its very difficult to compare labour costs between UK and India, they will be radically different as totally different economies. Thanks, Aaron Knox

@jamesoren7238 5 лет назад

I agree that the Triumph is overpriced ... but it's not like it's you're comparing apples to oranges there. The Interceptor is clearly, clearly a cheaper made machine.

@johnastirzaker3109 5 лет назад

@@KnoxArmourI Love the Triumph's but lets be accurate - they are made in Malaysia now and have been for a couple of years, so how come the price is still so much more than the Enfield? I do think though that you would only be able to compare the Enfield with a Bonneville if Triumph were to introduce a 650cc version aimed at the A2 licence riders.

@roverchap 5 лет назад

Royal Enfield have nailed it with this bike. Tremendous value for money, with the investment where it matters such as a quality frame, suspension and brakes rather than a load of electronics which make a dubious contribution to rider enjoyment and represent a maintenance liability as a bike ages. The only let down on the Interceptor is the weight - for comparison I have have a Moto Guzzi 650 from the '80s which has 52BHP and weighs just 165kg dry. Need to shed some weight without losing quality. Triumph take note - a 650 with 50bhp and no gimmicks is going to grab a lot of buyers in the market for a traditional but modern 'British' twin. Why aren't you offering one?!!

@vishnumohannair8791 5 лет назад

I hear that changing those exhausts will lose you 10 Kgs. Soon there should be 18 inch aftermarket alloys, which you can put on instead of those steel rims which will save you another 20 kgs. The tyres can run tubeless. 200 Kgs is required to ride on highways if you want to feel safe when those huge trailers ride by. The weight is quite low down, not sure why she said it is top heavy

@RetroBiker 5 лет назад

I'm sure there are a few differing opinions on this. Sure, the RE is a great value bike, but Triumph...don't change a thing, just keep turning out high quality. [thumbsup]

@paulm2467 5 лет назад

It is very noticeable how heavy bikes are nowadays, my fully faired 1979 Ducati MHR 900 only weighed 205 kg. I'm a bit puzzled why an air cooled naked 650 weighs the same.

@ripmax333 5 лет назад

Rory McLoughlin triumph had the previous street twin with 50hp now they upgraded them to 60hp. What i would like to see from them is a 500 or 400cc with at least 40hp. Something a bit lighter and less pricey.

@pabloperispena5705 5 лет назад

I don't understand why everybody says it's a bargain or tremendous value for money when you can buy a Suzuki SV 650 S with double front disc, 25 additional hp, far better behaviour and proven reliability at a similar price, at least here in Spain

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

Fabulous bike and I enjoyed your review but I couldn't disagree more about the weight - I think it feels really light and in no way top heavy - you should try lugging a Triumph Scrambler around your drive to see what heavy feels like! That notwithstanding a fab film and particularly liked watching Holly ;0)

@KnoxArmour 5 лет назад

Hi, thanks for the comment and feedback! Ref the weight, I hold to my opinion and what we said, but yes it depends on what you are used to... note that we also called out some of the Triumph models in the review for being guilty of being and feeling heavy/top heavy. We'll explain more in the next video, but we did actually test the bikes with 14 of the women who work at Knox and of the 14 women, in fact, only 5 were strong enough to pick it up off the side stand and sit on it normally. We also had the bike weighed fully fuelled and was 230kg, so on the basis of those two things, I class this as pretty heavy and potentially hard to manage statically for women. However, at the same time, of course, it does depend on what type of bike you are used to. All the best, Aaron - Knox.

That's what annoys me about Triumph. Lovely bikes, but not everyone wants huge CCs or more power than you can possibly use (legally). A nice light, flickable 650/750 Bonnie would be fantastic, especially if it accommodated the shortarses like me. I find a lot of the bikes are just too big and heavy.

@nosherz 5 лет назад

@@stevegray3922 Have to agree - their retro's look the part cosmetically, but they're heavy lumps & ridiculously expensive, which kind of misses the whole point with this type of bike. I guess like harley, ducati, etc - they're targeting the well heeled hipster crowd with money to burn & who buy them as trinkets.

@freeman10000 2 года назад

Nice review. My last bike was a Harley Road Glide, so from my perspective this bike is very light. Exactly what I am looking for now. Something to commute and occasional weekend trips. Love the retro look of the bike too. It was nice to hear a Harley rider's perspective.

I searched in your page 3 days back for a review on this bike but couldn't find n 3 days later here it is. Nicely done. Was planning for a 2019 street twin this October but after checking out so much positive review about the interceptor 650 from all over the the world finally decided to settle for 2019 interceptor 650 and will save approx 8200 plus 🇺🇸 dollars😊. In India 2019 Street twin is about $12,300 on road whereas 2019 Interceptor 650 is $4020 on road with 3 years warranty. Kudos to all your reviews. Subscribed.👍✌. *Did u forgot to mention about the sweet sound of the parallel twin and the smooth gear change.

@KnoxArmour 5 лет назад

Hi Ashkaran, Thanks for the comment, spooky!! I think we did mention about the sound which is great, and didnt specifically mention the smooth gear change, but we did talk about how smooth the engine and bike was overall... All the best, Aaron, Knox. 😊

hi guys,I might repeat this question but do you find this motorbike a little bit without proper torque/acceleration? I have ridden both gt cont and interceptor ,same day and...well,I just got my driving license a few days ago,literary :)...so is it me not knowing to use the clutch and acceleration or is it indeed little lazy?I mean ...look,I am wondering does it really offer you the pleasure to ride it amd feel the acceleration and second thing, does it offer you the power snd torque to overtake on those on lane/direction between the village roads? and I am not asking just for fun, I am asking because I am at 70-80% to email for ordering it,the other 20% is like...would it be fun to ride it, would it be more fun and safer on a,for ex triumph street twin while paying “only” about 2500€ more. Honestly what do you think? Thank you and yes a professional video, with nice info ,especially on the braking side...I had a similar feeling about being little bit heavy (while actually having same weight as a street twin) with the braking distance little bit long(maybe a second disc can be easily installed?) I mean as a beginner some good brakes could really save you,maybe? Again,thanks

@KnoxArmour 5 лет назад

@@emiliandarie7277 Hi, it depends what you are looking for really... if you are after a classic looking, relaxed motorcycle then the royal Enfield is great. If you want a sharper instrument with more power etc, there are plenty of choices, z650, cbr650, 690 Duke, xsr700 etc. However, none of these have the charm of the Enfield. Hope that helps. Aaron Knox.

@emiliandarie7277 5 лет назад

Ordered it, haha. But to answer, I am looking for something as close to a café-racer , but still good for a beginner, to forget some mistakes on the clutch or throttle !!.It is my first bike and I want to pay a decent price before being sure I will enjoy being a rider on the long term. Yes I want a relaxed, classic looking bike that resembles a café-racer that at the same time offers the fun of riding .I do hope it will, thanks for the answer :)

Fantastic overview and review of this motorcycle, folks! I like the team approach to the riding and letting both perspectives and opinions be heard. I believe you said there no electronics, but these do have ABS to be compliant with Euro requirements, don’t they? I think the pair of bikes with this engine really signals a leap forward for Royal Enfield. The looks, decent but not intimidating performance, and the mind blowing value (!!) position The Interceptor and the Continental GT as the go to for folks who want an entry into retro styled motorcycles. I know that I’d love a week on one! Now, what was that saying about only mad dogs and Team Knox sitting in the midday sun?

@KnoxArmour 5 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback Fred! Yes, you are quite right, of course, the Interceptor has Bosch ABS, we should have mentioned that, but its almost a given now as like you said it is a legal compliance thing now!! Thanks again! Aaron, Knox.

This is by far the best review I’ve seen on the Interceptor yet. Seriously considering buying one after my degree when I will finally have a life and some money to spare😂 I loved the shots and I enjoyed the conversational/ chat styled review. It felt honest and to the point. I’m also a huge fan of your riding gear. My Knox jacket and trousers lasted 7 years and saved my butt when I had a crash in Australia. The bike was written off but I didn’t have a scratch on me. All this to say I’m a huge fan and keep up the great work!

Nice review. I currently own a 2016 Motto Guzzi V7II Stone and a 2015 Harley Super Low 1200T. Been riding since 1969. but took a break around 1975 and started up again in 2015 with a 1973 Honda CB350 I bought used, duh, haha. After my Honda blew a piston (so much for Honda reliability, haha) I bought the MG V7II used (it had 200 miles on the odometer) in 2016 at a bargin price. A year later I bought the Harley (1000 miles on the odometer) at a bargin price. Anyways, if the RE Intercepter 650 was around back in 2016 I might have bought it new instead of the Guzzi. I am in the process of trying to decide for a 3rd bike. Either a "Adventure" bike (MG V85TT or the KTM 790 Adventure) or a more sporty bike like the Triumph Street Triple R. Anyways, good to see that Royal Enfield is finally getting their act together and producing a quality motorcycle. Though it does seem too heavy for what it is for the 1970 Triumph Bonneville 650 weighed only 166 kg dry with about the same HP as the modern RE Interceptor. By the way, though Holly looks to be a beautiful and intelligent woman, But her accent ... OMG :-O Bloody Hell, it would drive me Bonkers if I had to hear her speak 24/7 hahahahahaha .. At the least, it is so difficult to understand her, haha. Remember to always ride defensively and wear proper gear. Remember what the Door Mouse said ...

This place where you rode the bike has got to be every biker's wet dream. "English Lake District", I'm going to remember that. Respect from India! I'm glad that RE introduced these Mid Performance bikes for the international markets. Mid & High performance bikes are not practical for my country (RE staple market for its survival), as most people cannot afford it; as well the roads aren't consistent for people to ride powerful bikes on. That's why most of RE's bikes in the past decade were utilitarian focused and the company just focused on making profits with a marginal premium cost. Now that its healthy on finances, it wants a slice on international fame is what I assume.
