Just a casual talk with my friend who now owns my previous Interceptor 650. He rode my CB 350 for the first time. I know about both these motorcycles since I have owned both. So, we just thought our chat would be useful for those considering both these bikes as their new ride. Also, I have been getting a few questions regarding the same. This video was not planned, so we have not methodologically covered all aspects of comparison, there are bits and pieces which we missed in this friendly chat. .

The day i went to book a motorcycle, the Interceptor was never in my radar. I test rode the dominar, the duke390 then at last a guy at RE insisted just to test ride the int650. Reluctant but still i said ok. I rode for just 10mins but that's it, that 10mins was enough. The kind of connection which i feel with the Interceptor i feel with none other motorcycle. The smooth rumble, the flat torque, the lil bit of heat that brushes past your thighs occasionally ... Its just love 💟 😁. 1 year now, 8k kms on clock & riding strong. 😁

Thank you brothers

I am a long term interceptor owner myself. Recently rode a friends CB350 will share my thoughts: The CB feels super light and agile. Engine revs happily for a long stroke single. (It's a modern Honda after all) Ride is very well sorted feels supple. Switch gear felt crowded, too many buttons which are not intuitively placed. Character of a compact naked street bike, in the guise of a retro bike. While riding the bike sounds quite muted , as compared to when you see is pass by. (When you hear a typical beat) My Verdict: Absolutely 2 different bikes altogether. CB is a nice commuter no doubt. However doesn't feel honest in character. It looks like something and rides like something else completely. Felt it's the offspring of Hondas accountants or MBAs realising there is a potential in the partcular segment ruled by REs retro lineup by adding oodles of refinement and reliability to a retro design. Interceptor gives a pure and un-adultrated biking experience, not as practical as a commuter. Most importantly it is quite enjoyable to ride slow, a typical RE trait, and also ride at triple digit speeds for hours together. Have done 4 tvm-chn non stop rides in the last 2and half years it's a very comfortable bike. But the pillion seat isn't a good place to be.

The location is really beautiful and peaceful 😌

Thank you for the good information. I was confused a lot between these two motorcycles which one to buy. Now I am clear to by interceptor. I want more performance what exactly there with interceptor but I want engine refinement. Please let me know the level of interceptor engine refinement in comparison with cb350.

@GodsOwnRider

I do not know anyone who has Meteor brother, to do a comparison. Again both are different styles of motorcycles. One is a laid back cruiser and the other is a slightly aggressive roadster. I think the meteor wins in features department (alloys, tripper navigation, charger etc.) and is more comfortable to ride + better mileage. You should go for the Interceptor only for 2 things - the beautiful twin cylinder engine and the beautiful retro styling. Personally I believe it is not good for commuting or touring (although you can find owners doing both using it). .

Sir please help me out with my problem, I'm ready to invest upto 4 lakh on motorcycle right now and I have 2 motorcycles from 2 different segments GT 650 and Himalayan! My major criterion is Motorcycle should last longer! And a fine built quality. I want to keep it as long as possible! If I want I will buy another one in upcoming years but this one is special for me, so Just name the motorcycle and clear it up.and do you think I should consider Honda CB350 platform?

Considering you already have GT and Himalayan, you can consider CB350, but only as a city bike. You have a cafe racer and ADV, so what you need is either a roadster or cruiser.

That's was a good review. I guess meteor 350 is really promising against highness cuz i have seen videos from reputed KZreadr that they have equal level of refinement and high gear problem on highness is not their on meteor. If u got time can you compare your highness and meteor

Hi , Am going from splendour pro to Royal Enfield, am 5.5 height, this is going to be my first royal enfeld experience, most of my ride time would be in city, i might take the bike to long road trips occasionally,I was thinking of buying either classic 350es or interceptor 650. What would you recommend? I would take the test rides, however, please tell me one thing,which would you recommend classic or interceptor? For a first timer? There is new classic launched end of this year, should I wait for it or buy classic earlier. Please let me know

GT has a more sporty (lean forward) riding posture, with more rear-set foot pegs, both of us have never ridden the GT . .both CB and Interceptor can be classified as roadsters while the GT is a classic café racer.
