I always wanted to buy an Int650 since it's launch, but i when test rode the Him450, it too stole my heart. But finally after brain storming and taking back to back test rides, i came to a conclusion that the instant torque of int650 and the refinement of parallel twin are convincing enough to make a purchase decesion, thus I went ahead and got me a Barcelona blue Int650. 7 days and 750kms, it is just the perfect upgrade after staying 21000kms in the saddle of my meteor 350.

I am looking for the one with most comfort. In the stock avatar, I found the Himalayan to me more comfortable than the Interceptor but I dont mind upgrading to YSS on Interceptor. So that way, would an YSS on Interceptor feel more comfortable than the Himalayan stock suspension?

Thank you for watching the video and for commenting. The two motorcycles are of a completely different nature as I pointed out in the video.

Suspensions and the ergonomics are the deciding factor. How about the engine refinement ? Does the Himalayan feels buzzy and annoying ? As an Interceptor owner l know that the exhaust note is sweet throughout the rev range. Even my mind oscillates to go for Himalayan at times but then engine reliability is a concern. Also l have trust issues when people say that Himalayan is near perfect and there are no issues. Sorry just my opinion

@SrinivasGanesh

No motorcycle is near perfect. Anything above 400 cc will vibrate. No matter how many rubber mounts you add to it. That is a fact. Annoying level is subjective. Engine feels very smooth and refined. Liquid cooling in motorcycles is considered better than air cooling.

The Torque just brings the weird grin on my face evetime I crack open the throttle. And mine is running at 59Hp/60Nm Tq after spending less than 1.2 lac including Dyno.

So basically According to Rivalry motors, there are 2 Cat converters inside single Exhaust. One look at the dissection, I knew I had to change the header pipe and exhaust. Now that is sorted I had to work with Air intake, which was basic add a BMC air filter. But the AFR (Air fuel ratio) went mental, so had to correct it with Fuel X-Pro and Stage 2 De-restricting plate. It was fun but again I knew the engine can handle more. So popped a After market ECU, and 16t front sprocket, to have some fun with Gear ratio along with hours of Dyno Runs. The fueling is so frikin perfect I can do 140 all day and still get 24-25 mileage. I think even a sloppy engineer can get you about 51+Hp with this setup during Dyno runs. My suggestion would be add High lift cams and bigger Valves if you have done this. Don't touch the Piston. Just the Valvs and Cams. *Ahh yes... Not to mention the Quick Shifter... So Much Funnn

The lights in earlier model Interceptor 650 (like the one I have) were far better as it allowed the user to replace the halogen bulb with an LED bulb for a better throw. Yes everything is customisable. If you know which one you like but are waiting for the electronics to get better then it is going to be a long wait. Just for comparison sake, LED and alloy wheels were introduced in Interceptor 650 after 5 years. You can only imagine how long it will take for a change to take place from the factory.

Interceptor 650 has more power gives a retro feel of owning a bike. Himalayan is more modern with a lot of information at your fingertips. You can choose according to your requirement. Both can tour, one can do trails much much better.

@@SrinivasGanesh oh, I don’t know about them. But great job, one of the best qualities out there also in your videos!

I test rode H450 and as an INT 650 owner I cannot switch to a single cylinder low torque more vibe-y engine. I’M NOT SAYING IT’S BAD. I’M JUST SAYING COMPARED TO INTERCEPTOR 650 AND IT’S INCREDIBLE TORQUE DELIVERY AT MUCH LOWER RPM IT BECOMES A BREEZE TO OVERTAKE ANYONE IN SIX GEAR AT 100 KM/H, IT JUST PULLS AT ANY GIVEN POINT OR GEAR. Also, it is much much smoother at 100 km/h like the engine doesn’t even know or Care if it’s doing 100 K

Fred, the Interceptor follows the template of the classics from yesteryears. Almost all of the 60's motorcycles had skinny wheels on them (Skinnier than the ones on the interceptor). Even the mighty 1972 Kawasaki Z1 had skinnies on it.

Mileage ?
