Which 650cc Royal Enfield should you buy? | PowerDrift 

If you have a wife or girlfriend - Interceptor Single life - GT About to retire - Super Meteor

These 650's is the reason why I fall in love in Royal Enfield..

Having owned an interceptor 650. I ll say interceptor 650 is one bike which can be used in city, highways and touring.

The Heart says Continental GT but The Mind is saying Interceptor !

I test rode the SM650 and the rear shockers made me rethink my decisions. I saw a green GT650 in the RE showroom test vehicles lot and decided to take a ride - and boy I just fell in love with it. The riding position was unlike I rode before (I own a pulsar 150, avenger 220 and a Himalayan 411) and it wants you to go faster and quicker. I love the looks, the riding position, the power surge, and the attitude it carries. GT650-Apex Grey is the one for me!

Man, if they come out with classic 650.... gonna be fire.

It a interceptor 650 cause I know how comfortable it is in town road and touring other places though it's not a cafe racer neither a perfect cruiser it's a package of both of them ☺️

I'd definitely choose the interceptor 650 since it's a bit of a both Cafe racer and cruiser

Always Interceptor

Always gt 650🔥

definitely Interceptor 650. rode it once as a rental. fell in love and got one in Orange Crush colour. it's the most practical one of the three. simply love it!

Ek gt 650 mr clean toh main bhi deserve karta hoon! Will buy one once I start earning money! :)

Each bike's are unique in thier respective form. Three of these 650's are great bikes. Super meteor looks more premium of the three and its comfortable to,where as the interceptor and the GT looks sporty and classic and now with alloy wheels and LED lights it looks even more desirable . They all have very good engine performance, but for a daily use the interceptor is a good choice it is easy to handle and has good riding position. However the GT is good when it comes to having fun. It is quite hard to pick between these 3 650 twins, but i want to choose with my heart then it will be the GT 650 that i choose.

I got my Continental GT 650 in Apex Grey as soon as it released. I was eagerly waiting for the alloy wheel/LED update frankly. As far as my opinion about the ride quality and an overall experience is concerned, Id say I'm happy to own this bike. Every bike has its pros and cons, it's the rider who has to decide what is he ready to live with for a good amount of time. I did a good amount of research on cafe racers, also spent a decent amount of time talking to GT 650 owners about their experiences and opinions too. Finally got my hands on my own bike and I must say I'm enjoying every bit of it. Im using it for daily commuting as well as for weekend breakfast rides.

Himalayan 650...now that has a nice ring to it🔥

Hi from NZ really enjoyed your vid guys.For me its the super meteor I have one on order,just love the feel of the bike ,spot on can't wait.

it's already about 1month since i bought super meteor 650 and i absolutely loved it.The bike looks stunning and super smooth.

Of the three Interceptor will be the choice but waiting for 650 scrambler hoping its seat feels good

Thankyou so much was looking for this kind of video.

The interceptor has been my dream bike since the day it was launched in 2018 and still it continues to be.❤😈 (Especially the orange crush shade)

For me it’s the Super Meteor 650. Am in love with the stance. The rising posture is just what I had been looking for. I wish this bike was available in my 20’s.

For me the Super Meteor is the one to go. It’s surprisingly agile, handles quite well, has a very smooth throttle response without any jerk (Inty and GT have some amount of throttle jerkiness at lower revvs), can handle 2-up riding better, has a better high speed stability and has a better weight balance.

I've never been a Royal Enfield fan but I just love the sound the interceptor and GT make

As no bike is perfect I pick the cheaper Int 650 and use the rest of the money for better suspensions, tires and performance upgrades

I would pick Interceptor, it has pure retro charm, many aftermarket mods available for interceptor. It is best for urban rides, even u can make it ur own Caferacer or scrambler...it can play allrounder role.

Super Meteor 650...I just fell in love with the design bro...❤❤❤

If Meteor 650 existed in 2021 I would have bought that. I was aiming for GT but I needed something that would be easy on my back and would handle offroad and gravel roads as well. So I went for the Interceptor, just when I booked a BMW G310GS and cancelled that after test riding the Interceptor. Now, I've got a taller handlebar, touring seat and a lot of scratches on my bike but it's perfect. On bad roads I can just stand up, try that on the GT or the Meteor. On good roads, I can just lay back and relax. I can just put the bike on 3rd gear and it does 30-120kph on it, that's a wide useable range for a gear. On mountain roads I just put it in 3rd gear and it's almost like riding an automatic. Uphill, downhill, it doesn't matter. The engine manages it all flawlessly. Interceptor might not be a good racer or a good cruiser but overall it's a good bike. Meteor 650 looks like a good bike to carry luggage and travel large distances. Interceptor doesn't look good with saddlebags. GT is a bike for youngsters. I'm 30 and I used to get back and shoulder pain on the stock interceptor. Can't imagine what GT would feel like. Meteor 650 would feel like heaven, until you meet bad roads. Then you'd feel like hell.

WAITING FOR THE SG 650!!! SHOTGUN SOUNDS SO FACINATING LOOKS LIKE RETRO BOBBER HANDS DOWN HAS A CHARM

Brilliant bikes overall that are absolutely worth the asking price. My favourite would be the INT, with the only fly in the ointment being the ergonomics on the lower half of your body. And the foot pegs fouling with your legs every time you stop is a genuine problem. For short riders who anyway have the challenge of contending with a front heavy motorcycle, the foot pegs make it an even more difficult task. A slightly different setup on the lower half is much needed to perfect the formula.

For Touring and over 55 of age, definetely Interceptor. 👍🏍

I own Bullet standard 500. I'm patiently waiting for Classic 650!!! But if these are the options i might go for meteor 650

If I Had A Chance I'll Park All The Royal Enfield Bikes In My Garage From Old Bullet To New Super Meteor... But, If I Wanna Choose One From This Three The "GT650" Is My Go...

I liked the gt640 most, but my knees were very close to the engine and I felt more heat from the engine. The SM650 seating position was not to my liking. So I had to go with the int 650.

Confusion Killer Video, all three of the Bikes in the same video with their pros and cons. I am going for GT!👍🏻

@7:36 is the rear right side wheel not aligned with the front? or is the angle giving you that perception?

Hi power drift team I need a help I was having a thunderbird which I sold just now and want to buy 650 interceptor but should I wait for new 650 to come in with new tech sheet or interceptor is still good to go for it . Please suggest as your views are valuable

Its 2023 and...GT 650... still looks Dope and undisputed show-stopper in this lineup .. still !!

I wish the RE, made the seats of gt, and continental a bit bigger and wider, short,,if not the same, like the seats on triumph thruxton, or triumph speed twin... But apart from that,, my choice will be gt,, though it may not be comfortable for long ride, or whatever,, gt has definitely got something which really pull my hearts and minds towards it...and also the continental,, one cannot deny the fact how cool this both bikes looks while riding..

You should always start from a neutral bike. So interceptor is the one for most people. You can convert it to GT if you want.

Lucky to own interceptor and a classic500..black iconic colour

I own a GT 650 and it's a great great motorbike .

GT 650 SM 650 looks stunning but for me the interceptor is a no brainer

Much needed comparison 👍

Supermeteor for me!! I don't know why but the everything feels much better on the SM, and that includes the engine performance too!

I own an Interceptor and no marks for guessing what I Love :)

Interceptor anyday. Practical option. Can do weekend rides, tours and also commute with some downers. Other 2 650s are purpose oriented

Just booked an Interceptor!! Thought of getting the blacked out engine version but man blacked out engine looks bad and bike lost it's charm so booked chrome one with spoke wheels, yes it requires a lot of maintenance but that's half the fun i guess.

After a long wait I got one SM650 I love the machine ,but Its not meant for regular city commuting though. Interceptor done city part nicely .

Super confused between gt and interceptor. Had booked gt but then cancelled it booked interceptor. Cant wait to get my hands on it now.

Man i am driving super meteor 650 almost a month now i was driving 350 classic earlier it's insane 650!!

Very interesting comparison guys. Indeed. I believe the SM is better for trips, the Int for commuting & the GT for those wanting that special cafe-racer look/feeling. Stay strong, ride on!

I got interceptor.... got Himalayan handle bar and Gt rear set footrest...17 alloy with Apollo alpha and bamm a great retro street fighter

Being a himalyan bs6 owner would love to have the himalyan in 650 avatar

Hey, I saw a glimpse of Dorabjee Restaurant, Made my day 😊, A GT650 with USD Forks and Alloys, Im waiting for Shotgun 650

Royal Bakery !! Oh man..epic .. I still ride old Thunderbird twin spark.

Even though indian folks have graduated from commuter to performance bike we still want do it all bike because apart from fancy sunday weekend rides you still need bike to be purposeful .

Continental GT 650 for me ... I wish someday I can afford one and also maybe compete in the GT Cup as well

Interceptor any day. The perfect bike for daily chores, pillion rider, touring too. And if I am getting the only bike in my garage, it is Interceptor.

Interceptor... ❤ Need to wait till October 😂😂

Waiting for the classic 650. Imaging ergos of the classic with that 650 engine.. my oh my

I have an interceptor. Orange one it’s beautiful and I also love the gt 650, which I don’t have, it’salso beautiful, while I love the features and quality of SM 650 but I’m not a fan of the looks of traditional American cruisers, just the British retro roadsters and cafe racers

I own Meteor 350, definitely will never match any of the 650s, but it fulfills my requirement 😊

Damn riding around the Kamshet hills really is always fun

Any option for interceptor backrest?

Spotted my office building in the video 😄😄😄

i own a GT. One reason you should buy GT: that mf puts a smile on your face every time you take him out. Gt is love.

I have int 650 2019 it’s a fun ride bike I still own

Got my Interceptor Black Ray two weeks ago and in Bangalore traffic, Continental was very uncomfortable on the hands,and Super Meteor was more expensive, heavy and slower. Best decision, Love my bike.

I had an Interceptor. Bought it in July 2020 with under 3k km's. Sold it in April this 2023 with 40k km's to my cousin. For our country, to tour, i think the interceptor is the best. I want the gt now and know that its not as suited to touring but how far off is it actually from the interceptor?!

It’s the INTERCEPTOR all day everyday ❤❤❤

7:37 notice that misalignment between the front and back tyres. It's a vertical misalignment, raises a bit of a concern imo. Feels like a factory issue

HAD to watch the video twice. Once to take in all the info, and then to admire just how BEAUTIFUL all three of em look.▶⏸

As a first bike buyer , interceptor 650 looks the way to go

Perfect video for confused buyers of 650 🎉

I own a meteor 350 but I love to have the INTERCEPTOR 650 next❤

Proud to own an SM 650. It’s slowest of the category but it’s every bit cruiser I always dreamt to own. HD will have to wait for few more years 😜.. Also the drive pass through Dorabjee’s old hotel is cliche and an ode to old n beautiful Pune of past . Loved your video..

Can we have another video for RE 350cc bikes ?? Hunter, Classic & Meteor ????

Interceptor anytime baby! I mean, just look at that beauty 😍

That hasn't helped at all! I'm still torn between the gorgeous looks of the Super Meteor, and better ride of the Interceptor. (I'm far too old for a cafe racer).

The GT 535 was a gem! Had I appreciated it more back then, I would have had one. The engine configuration was sweet! An overbored 500 with the 350's crank.

Is Himalayan 650 in the line up?

Guys .... Go on a road trip .. show us ur pov ... That ll be new for audience to see n feel ur outlook .. We HV seen a lot of reviews

Kudos to the Video editor!!!

ayeoo PD Fam i own a meteor 350, the bike is very good but it's headlight sucks. I want to get the new RE headlamps . How do I do it with out making a biiiig hole in my pockets

It seems something like... I have three types of shoes. 1. Formula office shoes 2. Casual wear shoes. 3. Sports shoes for walking and games. And you are asking which is the best shoe. All three are suitable and three are required. 😊

Interceptor checks all marks If I want to travel inside the city, go to my daily office, go on long tours with some off-road.

PD please tell me when is the classic 650 coming ?

The GT650 has my heart

Actually none considering the quality of RE service centres... RE is making good bikes but the service centre are a pain area for RE

Me and my friends while trying to say same thing at a time 😂😂

Scrambler 650 with which is lighter and bigger ground clearance.....Thats what I am waitiing for!

Arey bought interceptor 650 2 weeks back mark 2 variant. Took my pops for a spin . I still have smuck face!!

The Continental needs usd forks. It's sportier than Super Meteor and still got the regular forks this year. Enfield has some work to do.

I really want to like it and close my ears to all the noise saying it can't do this or that ....but being a person who would drive this only in the city ...so one simple one ...can I live with it

I think I love the Super Interceptor GT 650!! 🥴

I own ventura blue GT 650 1. clip on handle bar replaced with Himalayan SS handle bar with raiser 2. Rear foot peg Semi Z posture damn perfect for my height I prefer GT 650

Any day I choose Interceptor.

The question why has the weight gone up from 205kg to 218kg. If it’s because of alloy wheels (and if that is the case), the spoke wheel variant should weight the same as before (205 kg)

thanks for being honest about ride quality. for bikes that are largely about lifestyle they def need to have that quality or else whats the point ?

Had a interceptor now going for meteor 650
