The 650 version will be making of royal Enfield. Bigger tank more miles would help.

I deliberately choose the Himilayan for its slow pace, saftey reasons and comfort. When i took the interceptor for a test ride almost everyone where racing with me and i too kept pushing and personally thats not how i want to travel, trying to be the fastest on the road is not the happiest way to travel, its exciting but not safe. I am ok with just having my own pace.

Yes exactly! It's really about finding your pace and the bike to go with it. So much pressure to be fast in many groups, it's really overrated.

I do not consider the Interceptor fast. I rarely ride more than 65 mph. But I also like the Himalayan. What I DON'T like is crotch rockets, race bikes for the street. The street in NOT the place to race. If you want to race, fine. DO IT ON A TRACK.

Since last 50 years till 2010 Bullet was the fastest machine on road, that Dosen't mean it will always go on racing on road and the same applicable to interseptor Be self contended if you know and everybody knows tht you are powerful nothing to prove, that's the lions lifestyle. Im riding bullet then Himalayan then interseptor for last 38 years Just look on the other side and ignore, when someone is challenging you

Always ride at your own pace. I have a Kawasaki Z650 and I have been for only one Kawasaki group ride and will never go for another one. Those guys just rode at speeds of 200+ kph which is simply unsafe on any road much less Indian roads. So I ride with people who own much slower bikes as they ride at a pace I am comfortable with.

This is why I love watching KZread motorcycle videos. I'm Canadian, yet I get to watch a guy in the Philippines tell his motorbike story. Love it. Stay safe my friend.

Love from India. I think you made a good decision. I own a Himalayan with a pure love of motorcycling and have now crazily fallen in love with offroading. The 650 will give you the extra kick on the road. Be safe; with great power comes great responsibility.

Interesting video thanks. I’ve sold my Himalayan after a year for similar reasons but unlike you I’ve gone for even less power with the new Classic 350. I wasn’t using the Himalayan’s off road ability at all so a more road focused bike is my ideal. I only want to bimble around the country lanes here in the north of the U.K. so the lack of power is not an issue for me. Enjoy your Interceptor, it’s an absolutely stunning bike!

I feel not safe on country lanes as 99% car drivers are ok, but 1% are idiots. When the truck is tailgating you on twisty roads on 100 km/h - it's scary. Sometimes I really need a power to escape dangerous drivers.

I’m literally in the same boat here. Being in the states, the Himalayan has to stick to more back roads with the higher highway speeds. I love the progress of building my Himalayan into a scrambler and it has plenty to ride two-up with my wife, but I’ve been eyeing the Interceptor as a more do it all for me. I’m also limited on garage space, but love the ease of maintenance on RE and the amount of things out there for them. I’m definitely a subscriber now 🤙

Just found your channel, and am glad this wasn't a giving up motorcycling video but an exciting pivot video! I relate a lot, I'm outgrowing my first bike which is a puny little 150cc and it's time to start getting on more highways! Looking forward to see what you get into on the Interceptor!

Seeing the video here has convinced me that getting the Royal Enfield Himalayan is a dream come true for some people, should I win the lottery anytime soon, this is one of my purchases, so glad I've seen the channel (already subscribed) - take care and stay safe.

Great video brother!!! Thank you 🙏🏻 Safe travels☮️

all the very best buddy. I got Himalayan a couple of months ago. Enjoying the rides.

one of the best video i've found about the himalayan .. well done my friend .. Hi from Italy

Greetings from Brazil. I own both the Himalayan and the Interceptor. Completely different bikes, but both of them give me that warm riding satisfaction whenever I ride them. I usually ride the Interceptor when I know beforehand that road condition is good, otherwise I ride the Himalayan. And I am never in a hurry, so I can appreciate the pleasure of riding.

Enjoyed your review, look forward to seeing more.

All the best Aaron for your future travels..........looking forward for your videos

Much appreciation from Las Vegas. Looking forward to seeing your scrambler build. 👍🏼

Cool for you! The INT650 is a great bike, can't wait to see you transform it. There are some nice scrambler builds out there. Congratulations from the US.

Greetings from South Africa! Thank you for another awesome video! Speed and power are all relative to the biker's needs. I compliment your honest feedback as to why you chose to go with a bigger and faster motorcycle, but it's funny that as I get older, I appreciate dependability and light weight, more than power and speed. Either way, a great choice of bike! I wish you many enjoyable & safe miles on your new machine!

Great video. Its crazy seeing the differences on bikes from country to country. In the US we ride different styles and different bikes. Either way, you got the bike you wanted and that is amazing. Through all the differences we are all deep down the same. We all just want that cool bike and to get out and ride.

Great narrative. . It's quite a breather to listen to your own perspective about motorcycling. Keep the videos going. Stay safe.

Fantastic video. Right content, shots, and length. Appreciate your views.

I was in doubt between the two bikes, your opinion helped me a lot, thank you!

Great video dude! Also, I agree, that the interceptor 650 does look beautiful and is probably more exciting to ride while covering long stretches.

Awesome video man! Keep on riding! I finally reached the point in my life where I could afford a brand new RE continental 650 and man is it nice….. It’s a great bike to ride and many options for mods. I put the S&S 2 into 1 exhaust on it along with other mods and I have no regrets. Great job Royal Enfield. You made my dreams come True

Over 14 years ago I had a friend with a Ducati which he sold to get a Royal Enfield and I wanted one ever since I saw that thing in his garage. They're just so rad!

Nice video! I totally understand what you mean about the Himalayan. I have a 2002 KLR 250 and I just bought a 2013 Suzuki Vstrom 650. I feel like I'm covered to do more off road exploring with the super light 250 (290 lbs) and more touring with the heavier, more stable 650. Enjoy the the new bike!

The first time I ride the interceptor.. it was like riding a horse.. so smooth and fast.. even a harly bike could not catch me. Such was the ride.. awesome bike by royal enfield. However himalayan is for a different zone, a cult in itself.. once we are alone on a empty long road what matters is u and ur bike and the nature.. himalayan is priceless in this world.. again.. wishing u own both bikes and enjoy them on intervals..

Hello, thank you for your video. I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm about to buy a RE and was hesitating between the 2 models. Now you have convinced me with the reasons you mentioned. And will follow your steps in making it a scrambler 😉 Take care and greetings from Belgium! 🤘

Love your enthusiasm dude, keep it lit!

Great choice!! The whole time I was watching I kept thinking "please let it be an Interceptor, please let it be an Interceptor." Then YES!!!!!!!! Great reveal, well done. The Interceptor (INT here in the states) is an amazing bike, I've loved every minute of riding on mine here in the U.S. I'm a little envious though, I'd give anything to take my Orange Crush "Sunny" to P.I. Looking forward to seeing your completed scrambler conversion.

Hello From the US. I really do not like to watch "I sold my" videos when is comes to RE bikes, but you definitely got me with this one. I do not own a Himalayan as I am way too big for it but I do love them. Now with that said I have owned my INT in the US it is the INT650 for now just over 2 years and love it. Yes I am still big and it look tiny under me but as you stated "smiles per mile" is very much a factor. I am not much of a content creator, but I do from time to time share my rides and such and I have now added you to my list of creators to keep my eye on. Thanks and I hope to see more videos of your smile on the Interceptor.

Good choice! i bought the himalayan and i reinforce your opinion: it's a great motorcyle. Before i buy it, my goal was the interceptor, but here in the brazilian northeast roads are not so good and both the interceptor's seat and suspension made me change my mind, so i decided for the himalayan. Good luck with your new bike friend!

I just finished one of your Himalayan videos and now I see you sold it for the other RE I want. Converting an Interceptor into a scrambler makes perfect sense, especially after selling the Himalayan. More off-road capabilities and still the power and great looks and comfort of a road bike. I just became a subscriber.

Congrats from Germany. Have fun 👏🏼

Great video! Congratulations on your new purchase! Just subscribed and anxious to see what mods you make on the bike. I’m 6’4” and love riding my new Continental GT! It’s a bit small for me but love the fun factor and character the bike has. My Harley Road Glide has been a little neglected lately!

i subscribed simply because you were pleasant, honest, and well thought-out in your video. keep on, and ride well!👍😀🙌

Suffering is kind of the point. There’s a lot of truth to that. I don’t so much relate to that statement because of the equipment but because of the weather we will endure just to ride. Just found the channel. I know I’m going to enjoy it a lot. Thanks for the videos👍🏻

Hello from a fellow himalayan rider. Love the bike, love the experience. Probably going to keep it with me forever. :) Love from India!!

Great video! Well narrated! Subscribed! I have a (very well used) '97 Honda XL400V TransAlp. It's V-twin engine is much smoother and more powerful than the Himalayans' and it hardly weighs more more. However, I do understand that they're no longer available and many folks prefer to buy brand new bikes.

I own both a BMW GSA and RE Himalayan. I have to tell you both serve a purpose, I love to take the RE in town... I'm getting ready to take it on my thousand mile adventure from Texas up into Canada and back. While the GSA would take me there, there's a certain challenge in taking a bike like the Himalayan that far on US and Canadian roads and trails.

Great review of the Himalayan! I have both a himalayan and a 650 Continental GT in my garage.

Good for you buddy. Been through the RE Int for 3 years. Great bike.

Love your video and your reasons for riding. I’ve been riding for 20 plus years road and dirt. Just bought my dream bike a Yamaha T7, awesome bike, plenty of grunt, relaxed ride but it can really hustle if you want it to. Just want to mention one thing about the T7 for anyone considering…….it is tall, really tall. I’m 6 foot 1 and with the touring seat can only get the balls of my feet down, I can’t flat foot it. I really like that about it as you feel so dominant on the road and the suspension gets unfairly judged. It’s biased from factory for road riding with decent off-road capability, again I like that so I won’t be changing anything. Stay safe and enjoy 😊

Love from India & best of luck for your upcoming adventures with Twin buddy...& by the way new Himalayan 450 is on the way..with extensive updates like Usd forks,Led lighting,liquid cooling etc..& we are so stoked about it..Ride hard,ride safe,adios...
