    I am 70, own a 2020 650INT, two 2012 Bonneville 900's and just bought a 2020 Speed Twin. The Enfield has the best fuel metering, gets 70 mpg, and the best transmission of any of the dozens of bikes over a 55-year period. Update: 2020 INT650 has been getting over 75 mpg and now has close to 30,000 miles. The weight with full stainless-steel exhaust and some items removed: center stand, grab handle, passenger pegs, radial tires instead of heavier bias-ply is 196 kg /431 pounds. 11/25/2022 Update March 5, 2024. Nine months ago I installed WiseCo 83.5mm pistons and an S&S cam; miles on those parts is past 10,000 miles and total on the bike is 38,000, I highly recommend the mid-size big bore kit that is 743cc. The clutch, ECU, fueling can easily adapt to the nearly 15-percent increase in displacement and the added torque/horsepower makes it feel like a Speed Twin 900. I own Triumphs to compare the Interceptor with..

Brake pads are barely worn, should go 20K+ easily. I am getting 72 mpg. Have not had a single issue; chain has barely stretched! A lot of character in this forty cubic inch Twin. 18 months update 23 Nov 2021: bike is past 20,000 miles. I have installed the YSS front end kit; very pleased. Also pulled the entire exhaust and put stainless headers with stainless silencers, major weight reduction. Full of fuel barely 200kg (442 pounds wet) and mileage is in the mid-70's; currently 74 mpg, have filled up 107 times/averages of 190 miles per tank on 2.565 gallons per tank. I have worn out 3 tires on rear/2 tires front and headlamps last 7-8000 miles; on the third one due to low beam burning out. Solid dependability and the best buy value in motorcycles.

    Hey Fred...I'm 66 myself and with the experiences under our collective belts, I tend to agree with you. A riding buddy of mine recently bought one and allowed me to take it out for a spin. Now I personally own a newer T-120 bonnie clone and it's pretty damn decent. However this R.E is something spectacular considering the price he paid! I thought he got some knock off spun from the nameplate alone! I was pleasantly mistaken! Now...If I can only find the local dealership... The thing is...I love the fact that it comes in the standard form with a bench seat/perch. This makes a world of difference in my riding position! My bud's son even commented that this was something "new" in his group of bike riders! Kinda funny to hear him explain how much more versatile the bench seat makes.

    I got this model late last summer. A treat to ride... serious grin factor. I have 22 motorcycles and scooters and this is the " go to " bike for the back roads of Wisconsin. It's unbelievable how smooth the engine is and how well handles. It's a shame that the new rider today will miss the " joys " of ... vibrations... oil leaks.. gas drips... electrical gremlins, balky carburetor's, reluctant starting, poor braking, questionable handling, waiting for your buddy who owns a pick up.

    @@martinrea8548 I just came back from a 400km ride and continue to be impressed by the performance of the meteor. I'd advise a no on the motorway but I'm a learner so that might weigh heavily in my estimation. It seems happiest at the 90kmh mark so far as I can tell. I've put 3500km on it so far and it seems to loosen up with every ride. It really is for country roads rather than motorway munching, I think a sixth gear would be needed for comfortable higher speeds. Today I clocked 110mpg (UK) which is impressive because I wasn't trying to be gentle at all. The lack of a higher speed doesn't worry me to much because here in NSW you can lose your licence for blinking too often, it really is a nanny state.

    I have been a fan of the Big 4 Japanese bikes since the 70's. I've owned 21 of them over the years, even having as many as 5 in the garage at the same time. I also had a beautifully restored 1965 Bonneville that i didn't ever ride, but only had for show. I liked all those bikes for various reasons - some more than others because, well - they were bikes! Singles,Twins, inline fours, a v-four, and a Goldwing. At the moment, i don't have anything to ride. So this.....I don't need to go scary fast anymore, i don't need to impress woman anymore,i don't want high maintenance or a non- useable garage queen. I really just want to go sight seeing in nice weather and take the wife out for ice cream. The RE 650 is making the most sense. It looks classic, sounds good, and isn't terribly expensive. Only problem now is which color dang it ?!

    I am long experienced rider and have owned a number of motorbikes including a Suzuki GSX750 and a BMWR9. The trouble with the Suzuki was it was fast, but uncomfortable, and motorcycling was setting it for bends and powering along straights which sounds a bit odd but not only gets boring, but one wonders how long one's luck will hold. . The BMW gave a cool relaxing ride but was expensive to run. In the end true motorcycling experience is to enjoy the open road, for long rides with a quality handling bike, that is easy to maintain with more than adequate acceleration for safe overtaking. Maybe I am describing a Royal Enfield.

Both my bike and this bike have 40hp, but this bike is like you are riding on couch. The Sound is also amazing! I might trade in my bike in a and get one of these or the Yamaha Bolt! I was really impressed with the way this bike felt compared to my MT-03. The Mt-03 feels good, looks good, and is really fast for being a 300cc bike. it is faster than my mustang! This bike might not be as fast, but it still pulls great and everything positive people are saying about this bike is true! Everyone told me not to get a Royal Enfield because of its past, but i am thinking times have changed...

    It hard not to love everything about the interceptor, I have one the same as yours, still going through the upgrades. Did air filter and full exhaust first. I also own Ducati scrambler icon Dark and street twin, but ride the interceptor more, its just that Awesome.

    Loving your content, especially the custom cable, taking it to the next level. Had my bike since October, short commute to work at stupid o' clock in the morning so mod wise it’s the Oxford Heated Grips, DNA air filter and some cosmetic chutney from Baak, they could do with getting you on board for some instructional content as their laissez faire approach is a bit to free spirited for me. Been uming and arhing on the exhausts and finally bit the bullet, S & S in the post, Hagon shocks in the kitchen. Keep up the good work, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for you on the Cally Rd. safe riding.

    That was a great review, detailed interesting and heartfelt, but I'm biased as I have a Continental GT. This was the first review I've seen that went beyond the usual recitation of stats and picking out faults and niggles, and actually spoke about design and aesthetics. I figure if a bike can do the ton, it's fast enough and after taht I'm not looking for more power, but how does it look and sound, how does it feel to ride. I have another bike in the garage, a Ducati 748, and both of them are lovely to look at, each in their own way. So thanks for the review, it was nice seeing your iMac and desk lamp. I can't afford a Rolex, but I appreciate the look and appeal. I might have a look for one of those lamps though ;)

    I am just short of 70 years of age. Have been riding motorcycles for 55 years. Have owned Zundapp. BMW, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Laverda, Moto Morini, Cagiva, Ducati, BSA, Triumph, Indian, and Moto Guzzi. Will not change from Moto Guzz---currently 1000 cc 1989 Mille GT and my favorite 2013 MG Stone 750 cc, but the RE brand is definitely worth investigating. If you grew up with and appreciate the twin--whether in parallel form, horizontally opposed as in BMW, or in the 90 degree V-twin opposed configuration as in Moto Guzzi it does not matter--just the riding experience is the message.--Mike Battle
