i own interceptor from last 2 years. (July 2022 ) You have Given the good info but if you go to RE service center, then everytime they will ask you to change your break pads. Clutch or Accelerator wire i prefer to keep changing whenver needed. Almost 3 time i have changed them. Total km on my bike 22.000 and i have faced some issues out of them major one was CHASSIS cut, yes they gave me new CHASSIS but it took a month and almost 8000-12000 for labor and other things. After that my bike started giving few more problems related to wiring and all ... Cone Set issue was there with me also. 3 time they just make it usable for few days. about Average - City - 16-18 Highways - 20 /ltr (89-90 kms)- 32 /ltr (100-120) Engine & Performance - Its awesom. Hitting issue is there but beucase of that people avoid sitting on bike when its parked 😅 I have Changed Handle because stock handle was forcing me to lean and i was getting pressure on my hands. Seat i changed because not that much comfortable. Changed Mirrors also Overall bike have build issues which you can change through after marcket products but Its Awesom in Power so i will go for intercepor again if needed
Very good review brother, yes i agree about RE service, i also mentioned same in video, that really needs improvement, but with me experience of bike is rally very good, we have 3 INT baker express in closed friends circle nobody faced such issues except conn set, and yes bike engine and persistent is awesome 🙌🏻, be connected and keep watching, happy and safe riding.

Bilkul bhai sahab i feel same, yeh interceptor ke pehle mere paas electra 350 thi 2015 se 2019 tak, mast bike thi, matlab 2015 se mai bhi RE hi chala raha hoon 😊 bike koi bhi ho apne dil ke kareeb hi rehti hai upar se india me RoyalEnfield to jaan hai sabhi ki 🤘🏻 - happy and safe ride, please do consider subscribing if you like the video and stay connected 🤜🏻
Hi brother, both bikes have different characters and huge price gap, so if you want nible bile for city commute and occasional long rides go for Speed 400, as INT 650 is not good for daily city commute, also there is difference in rideability, Speed 400 having high revving engine where you get pull at higher rpm, but INT 650 gives much more torque in low rpm range and having more smooth engine dur to parallel twin engine, which results much more fun to ride character, so if you are looking for highway regular highway rides go for Interceptor, Speed 400 will look more premium than INT 650 thanks to triumph for that, but at last you should take decision on basis of your riding needs and budget, go for test ride and then decide, thanks for watching and comments, be connected and keep watching.
This guy loves his bike very much ❤ good review brother. I rode classic 350 gun metal grey during 2018-2020. My service experience was good . I think it also depends on how much do you know your bike . What things need to be changed on service
You hit it right brother, yes I indeed i have emotional attachment with my INT, thanks for comments, be connected to see more my experiences with bike.
Currently owning a Classic 350 (6yrs old). Barish me bhot band pd jati thi bike. Kabhi kabhi raat ko 3 baje bike ko jaha park kiya tha waha se autorickshaw me ghar jana padta tha. Finally last week service karvaya and ab kitna bhi heavy rain ho, bike butter smooth start ho jati hai in one go. For me RE service is exceptionally good and bike hardly stays in garage for more than 1 day. Usually same day evening me mil jati hai. Owing an interceptor 650 is a dream for me and my wife. RU-vid pr almost sub interceptor ke videos dekh liya maine and can't wait to own this beauty in next couple of years. Thanks for sharing the cons. I dont think it'll be a problem for me as i already have experience of owing an RE machine and my height is 6.3 and well built so weight is not an issue. Great review btw 👍🏻
Great to hear you like Interceptor, it is great bike in it’s segment, i am also feel same jab bhi dekho interceptor ko mann nai bharta 🙂 bike or car aisi lo jo dekhne ko baar baar mann kare, rest in peace can assure you, go for it you won’t regret after taking it, the cons I share is just my personal experience, which is none in front of pros, go for it, it is great bike, and thanks for watching and comments, be connected for to see more exciting motovlogs with lovely machine interceptor 🤛🏻

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
If you are going to spend 60-70% time in traffic then it will be difficult with Interceptor, as it heats lot and weight is also more, Interceptor is not recommended from my side for daily city ride in traffic, on highways it is very comfortable although, for city ride you can look for hunter if you like, thanks for watching and comments, be connected. 🤛🏻
Yes sir it has wobble issues while riding with loose hands in low speed, but once we are on good speed I didn’t observed it, also i am changing front tyre and rim to alloy soon, then will give feedback again, thanks for watching and comments.
As per my experience it is very good bike for long rides, there is no stress in all day travel, recently i made two rides of karnataka, pune to goa, pune to karwar, felt very much comfortable only thing which we need do is to put handlebar raiser to make position little more upright, that's it :)
@@YogendraKirar0212 he he bro i did at a stretch 1500 and it was so tiring, thing now gel seat or for some other option, handle riser is a must i think
And average I checked tank to tank in highway it gave me around 28-31, by riding it at speed of 80-100, in city you do whatever it will give 20-25 only.
Hello Bhai, Great Review Purchased Interceptor 650 Black Ray on 24thJune 2024 with all the accessories. Cost me more than 4 Lakh. Heating is there, of course 200+ KG weight My height is 6'1 and I'm well build, I'm handling it well and that's why I got it. But But But, The Engine, Wooow Build Quality is top notch 100 and 120 samajh me hi nhi aata. I knew the problems so no issues at all
First of all Congratulations to you for interceptor, yes there are few points but when you start riding it on open roads you forget everything and be in love with the engine and responsiveness. And ther is considerable price increased I bought it in 3.2 lac back in 2019, thanks for watching and comments, and stay connected 🤛🏻
@@YogendraKirar0212 t Thank you brother, much appreciated Yes, Price Increased coz Black Ray Model is costly because of all LED, Tubeless tyres, all black design. Yeah costly but still worth the money....
If you are looking for Performance only then for sure it is INT 650 due to parallel twin bigger engine, and due to better low end torque it is more fun to ride than himalayan 450, but himalayan offers better suspension setup for off-road, good riding posture and complete package for long distance travel. Choice is yours only performance with old school bike it is INT, modern bike with little less performance it is Himalayan - please do consider subscribing if you like the video.
From my perspective man i will buy Himalayan 450 for sure if i have not owned Interceptor, as i am owning INT so now my mind is not allowing me to go lower CC bike as i tasted high torque of INT in that case i will try to stretch my budget and go for Honda NX500 or wait for Himalayan 650 as i like INT 650 engine and ergonomics of Himalayan, but if i am person having 4.5L budget and coming from any 300 or even 400 CC bike definitely my next bike will be Himalayan 450, it is very practical and capable bike i have ever seen in that price point, thanks for watching and comments brother.
Int 650 is a very good motorcycle at this price point with 48 bhp power output. The negatives are engine heat, poor seat comfort, suspension is not upto the mark and you will get mileage aprox 20. Based on my 2 years of ownership.
I have changed it after 24k kms, and put new setup if alloy also at rear i fitted meteor 350 rim and 150mm section tyre, check out my latest video, pune to ellora caves, in that i have shown the tyre setup, thanks for watching and comments, be connected and keep watching.
"I also have a Baker Express. I have faced many problems with the electronic parts, such as relays, fuel pump sensors, and side stand engine cut-off sensors. It’s not just me ,there are countless videos on RU-vid about these issues. Maybe you and your friends are lucky. In my opinion, this is a problem-prone machine. Anyway, I can’t sell this bike because I have some emotional attachment to it, so I have to live with it 😥."
Ohh it is very sad to hear, that you faced that much problem, but really we don't faced any issues yet as i mentioned in video we have 3 baker express in closed friend group and still we have that as primary commuter during rides, if you have watched any recent video on my channel you can see, we are riding on that only, but there might be issues with some bikes it is possible for sure, and yes i am also having emotional attachement with my int that's the reason still i am keeping it my primary riding bike after 5 years, thanks for watching and comments, be connected and keep watching.
Yes wobbling is there,my tyres life is over now in that case i feel wobble even at 100kmph if i hold handlebars with little loose hands, i will update the condition after tyre change.
It should be fine for you i am 5.9 and having no issues, suggesting go for the test ride and experience. thanks for watching and comments please do consider subscribing if you like the video
Thanks for watching the video. Stock seat is too soft and narrow due to which it is not much comfortable in long rides, we can opt for touring seat available at RE showroom or put custom seat by adding little more cusion padding. Suspension are good enough to handle general indian roads, even can handle rough patches but not comfortable in off/bad roads.

Very clear crisp review bro… liked, subscribed 👍🏻 I have booked the Int 650 Barcelona blue with alloy wheels last week in Kolkata 😊 I’m 6 feet well built weight 110 kg.. toh asha karte hain probs nahi hoga… Ride safe…godspeed bro
Very congratulations to you for Interceptor, it is great bike and for sure it will be perfect for you, Barcelona blue is good colour choice, happy riding and thanks very much for watching, comments and subscribing.
Between INT 650 and Speed 400, I suggest go for Speed 400, as it around 1 lac less than INT and with very good build quality, looks and power is also decent, definitely riding experience of both bikes are different because segment is also different INT is parallel twin and Speed 400 is single, even I like speed 400 due to less weight and styling, rest you can take test ride of both and decide which suits to you, thanks for watching and comments, stay connected.

That’s the important thing 😊, almost I travelled 28k kms and having only 2 punctures on rear wheel, and those are also due to construction nails, i got lucky about punctures, thanks for watching and comments, be connected and keep watching.
Thinking between Interceptor vs Shotgun. Will shotgun be heavy ? I am 5.9, well built. Only intent to use for time pass riding with in city. May be sometime drop kids in school
Anytime shotgun is better than interceptor in all aspects as they share same engine so there is no performance difference but shotgun is equipped with all new things and with young design, but downside is that it is heavier than interceptor and also it comes with single seat so wandering how you will drop kids to school 😄 - plus do consider subscribing if you like the video.
not on bike original parts, but i can see rusting on aftermarket accessories like i have zana crash guard it got rusted, don't know about original RE accessories. thanks for watching and comments, stay connected for such more videos :0
Great to hear, yes that whole route is beautiful, and thanks for watching and comments, be connected you will get to see such, more journey vlogs in this monsoon season.
Average is around 16-18 max During our 20,000km ride Some negatives 1) no tubeless tyres in 4 lac bike Puncture frequently in delhi 2) clutch wire breaks frequently 3) battery charger is near rear tire which give faults (2 replaced) 4) lights throw is zero 5) crome is very expensive to handle Some positive 1) engine torque 2) low price 3) low maintenance overall 4) sound
I agree with all the negatives you shared, but these can be replaced/changed with aftermarket parts, but the core thing which we are getting is powerful engine in low price, currently INT is coming with alloy rim so tubeless is there, and light throw is bad definitely in the bike i got in 2019, but due to frequent rides i opted for AUX lights, and didn't experienced issue with battery charger yet. but good you pointed out more negatives, which i thought of ki manageable with that powerful bike in this price, waise at that time i bought it in 3.2 lcs, when did you bought this bike? - please do consider subscribe if you like the video and found any info useful.

Abhi tyre old hai to agar loose hand se pakdo to 60-70 kmph me bhi hoti hai, tyre change hone ke baad hopefully band ho jaye, be connected will confirm ki tyre change ke baad hoti ya nai, i have ordered tyre and alloy rim, one or two week me aa jayega, thanks for watching and comments.
True, it is best bike by RE yet and engine is very lovely on highways, riding apne aap hi pasand karne lagoge agar aapke paas INT 650 hai to 😄 thanks for watching and comments, be connected and keep watching
@@YogendraKirar0212 acha hua bro bol diya mera 5.7 height hai abhi classic 350 cc use kar raha hu ..abhi interceptor ya meteor 650 lene ka soch raha tha bro
If you are getting good deal, then you can go for used one as literally there is no change in interceptor which i got in 2019 and current one except led headlights, colours and switches and tyres, these things can be upgraded aftermarket, so better to go with used one only, thanks for watching and comments, be connected and keep watching 👍
If you asking between interceptor 650 and ktm 390 then obviously KTM is having more pickup response due to its low weight and better power to weight ratio then interceptor, thanks for watching and comments
@@Rxmohan yes that is also fact, i thought of on the basis of body to weight ratio but you ar right interceptor 650 have much more torque then duke 390 that might be the reason.
