May better for city riding, not for riding out of town.

Interesting! 2 years after this review I find myself with this same choice but the price difference has narrowed considerably. In the UK a new RE Interceptor costs about £6,000 and a new, unused 2020 Street Twin can be found for £7,600. For sure the Street Twin is the better bike by any reasonable measurement but I find myself leaning towards the Interceptor. I recently sold my much loved Himalayan when forced to return home from the Middle East and I miss identifying with the Royal Enfield brand and riding with other Royal Enfield riders. Buying a bike is not always reasonable so having got this far writing this, I have made a decision. It's the Interceptor for me and I will spend the £1,600 saved riding around the country I left 23 years ago on a great Indian motorcycle.

I buy interceptor 650 and I'll spend extra 1 lakh for advanced modification. Since it does not reach triumph, but I'll be happy with my modified interceptor. Anyway interesting video...😍

He called me few days back and told that he bought interceptor and was prasing it so much, wat he said really impressed me as he told me that RE has done a great job , they made a bike which has all ingredients of a 10 lakh bike and made it available in India for less that 3 lakh.

What a great, balanced and thorough review of two beautiful bikes! You guys are really charming and easy to listen to and have really good genuine banter. This video also makes me miss India, and particularly riding in India sooo much. I have great memories of riding a 50 year old Royal Enfield with the original iron cylinder 10 years ago around Rajasthan and also all the way down to Cochin! Although we put the bike on the train from Mumbai to Goa. Some very challenging times, but also good memories! I love the mechanical simplicity, classic looks, and democratic price point of the RE, although being on the shorter side, if I had the money, the compact size and also beefy modern re-imagining of British classic would probably pip the post for me. Thanks again and Jai Hind!

I got RE650 last month. Amazing bike. Handles and brakes like a charm. Refinement is top notch. You guys are forgetting that Triumph accessories cost a bomb. I have added accessories worth 50k to my taste and comfort, high levels of customization options are available at very reasonable prices. The bike is a keeper and feels like it is built to last.

If I were rich ,I would look no further than the Street twin. Since I am not, I have to settle for the Interceptor. For me, nothing beats the Triumph Bonneville range for modern classics..

the sensible choice here is the 650 ... but if am putting my hard earned money on one of these it would be the Street Twin simply because having ridden both the bike I know the street twin will ride and feel the same 6years later. Credits to RE for making such a beautiful package affordable but Triumph is still way up the ladder.

As somebody who has both the bikes at my disposal I would definitely go for the interceptor. The main deciding factor which this comparison skipped is the handling which the interceptor has an edge over the twin. The smaller rear tyre and a wider handlebar give you a very flickable machine although losing out on some stability at extremely high speeds ( 140+ ) which you shouldn't be doing anyway. The twin also faces very high wind blast due to its low seating position and it becomes very difficult to ride at highway speeds consistently. One weird gripe as a person with a height of 5'10" I have of the twin is that my knee often is touching distance from the cylinder heads and hence I find a difficult time finding the right posture despite the fantastic seat. The interceptor also has this issue but the provided brackets on the cylinders and a taller riding posture do help out to an extent that it becomes trivial at best. All things considered even if you have the money for the twin you should definitely go test ride one to check wether it suits you or not. Some like the low slung stance and the slightly better stability in the bike while others prefer a taller flickable machine so its best you try out both if not decided. The build quality is definitely what you pay for the triumph and having done 50k kms on my father's twin it still manages to look newer than my interceptor which at present sits at a measly 3k. Be it the electrical connectors or the cable ties or the neat layout of the wiring and the ease to add on accessories, the twin is leaps and bounds ahead of the interceptor in those regards but not many of us care for such details and in the end it is the details that you end up paying for. If form trumps function for you get the twin else the interceptor will do you just as good if not better.

Only just watched the video lad's but loved it, so entertaining, I live in England and have just brought a 2020 street twin because the price difference between the two isn't that much over here but if I lived in India i think it would be the Royal Enfield every time, nice one guy's 😊👍👌

"And it works just as well" sums it all.

FYI, street twin 2019 costs on road 9.71 lakhs in Karnataka. Road tax 1.7 lakhs.

How is it possible that Indian motorcycle reviews are this much better than US? Bravo, buddies!

However, premium and high quality with proper tech like, slipper clutch, Brembo braking, cartridge fork set, modes of riding (Rain & road (Off road on scrambler)), increased power-65 BHP, 80 NM of Torque and built quality Triumph is any rider dream. Good review guys, you nailed it.

Just saying but interceptor has a slipper clutch as well. Fi and abs and makes most power in that price range

Here in the USA Triumph does very well. I have owned two myself and they were comfortable reliable bikes. I think these new RE Indian bikes have a great opportunity here in the US. I am seriously considering a new Interceptor for my stable. BTW, I like this video “back and forth” I think it’s fun and entertaining while being informative. Cheers.

It’s not even a competition. It’s like comparing the Skoda kodiak to the BMW x3 cause both run a 2lt diesel making almost identical power. The Interceptor with its 1/3 cost just makes a damm good case here and is a winner ...hands down. 👍🏻

yeah ! great and interesting review ! I go by Triumph Street Twin but I also like the Royal Enfield !!! Greets from Germany !!

I have already made my choice. I went for the interceptor 650 Baker Express and it is a Stunner. And NO, the street twin is not three times the bike compared to the interceptor period. I was waiting for this comparison for so long thank you Zigwheels👍

Heart says Bonnie Head Says RE... But if I had the money it's Bonnie for sure..😎

I'll take the RE, and RE gets that motorcycles should have analog dual clocks. They ALL should.

Excellent review and funny skits. I’m sellingy big Harley and looking at both of these bikes. Hard to not look at royal enfield for the price

Thanks for the vid guys I used to own a classic RE 500 for 6 years i loved that bike. Now i own a ST. In terms of maintenance: there is a myth that premium bikes need a lot of maintenance. In fact the only maintenance i need to do is a oil change on the ST every 16,000 km. The ST is a hassle free bike and there is lot that has not been mentioned in this vid. Traction control , ABS ride by wire etc. All this makes the ST a dream. The bike is extremely nimble and its a breeze to ride in the city. On the highways: I touched 180 with easy on the way to Gujarat and i still felt there was a little more to offer. My opinion would be to invest more in your safety and go in for a ST. The build quality is amazing. Well that my thoughts on it. Safe riding to all.

Great review guys! You guys in India are so lucky the Interceptor is only a third the price of the Street Twin. In Malaysia the Interceptor is only 20 percent cheaper than the Street Twin :(

Almost part-exchanged my Bonneville for an Interceptor a few weeks ago. But...I couldn't part with the Triumph. Good video, thanks!

If I HV money I will go for Bonne for sure .. though interceptor make sense for Indian market .. I HV ridden interceptor and that's a fantastic bike from RE

I have been riding the Street Twin for a while now (turns 3 years old in Sep) and I have had a chance to ride the Interceptor last month. I think you get what you paid for with both. In the Triumph - the quality of materials (not a single rusty piece on my Street Twin after 3 years hard riding in coastal Kerala), the workmanship, the little details add to the feeling that you do have something special. It's also a breeze to ride in the city as well as the highways. Now coming to the RE, it's a fun bike no doubt. Pulls cleanly, looks awesome and rides like a charm (zero vibes/ great torque). However, there are jarring notes in the package. The ergonomics are flawed (Search the various forums around), it is unnecessarily heavy for a 650 and the quality of parts and workmanship leaves a lot to be desired. For example, the Interceptor I rode had visible rusting all over in what was essentially a 6-month-old bike. This does not detract from the riding experience for sure but for me, it does not feel special enough to buy. I am sure it will sell in great numbers in India and elsewhere but it does not tug at my heart as the triumph does. Just saying.

Greetings from Ireland. Loved your video guys. I bought a 2012 Triumph Bonneville T100, 110th Anniversary Special new in 2012. The rear wheel was replaced under warranty because the chrome paint was flaking to the rear hub, which was replaced under warranty. The chrome plating was flaking to the rocker cover and the mudgaurd support bracket located between the front forks was red with rust. I cleaned and dried my bike meticulously and stored it in a dry garage. I have been out of motorcycling for a few years and the Royal Enfield Interceptor sounds a very inviting prospect to me.

1:06 😂 .. the guy peeing on the side of the road. 😂 Oh God.

great review , i have the triumph but if i was lucky enough to live in india i would prefer the RE

very cool video guys, thank you! just had the opportunity to test the Interceptor and loved it right away! such a beautiful bike and soooo much fun to ride. I'd definitely go for the RE even though there is not that much difference in the price here in Europe!

Even though I've owned 2 Bonnies and a BSA, I would likely pick the Royal Endfield. I looks so much more old school. Triumph should offer and old school 500 twin like the Tiger or Daytona of old. You guys did a great job of explaining the bikes. I learned a lot. Thanks

All cons of interceptor can be fixed by doing little bit mods.. alloy wheels 20K, hard seat pading 3K, preload adjustment around 1K during service and will not cost me 3 times... So from me Big no to triumph Street tween

@ankitpare6493

Can it be converted to tubeless tyres after getting alloy wheels installed?

Serviceability is important to me. So, I'd pick the Interceptor

I live in Dallas Texas U.S.A. I bought the interceptor 650. For the reality of my daily commute of 40 miles I could not justify the price of the Triumph. Besides my Glitter and Dust paint stands out in the crowd and the Triumph looks like a 100 other bikes with the flat finish on the paint.

Wow, with pricing like this, I would definitely buy the Enfield. But in my coutry (Czech Republic - EU) the price is about 10 500 USD for street twin compared to 8 000 usd for base color RE Interceptor - way different decision making!

Interceptor 650 anytime. Street twin is acceptable only at maximum 5.00 lakh price.

Well said bro

Even if I had the money, I would still go for the RE, as it has the right package for the Indian roads. A powerful bike with no place to exploit its potential is a waste. Secondly, because of its true classic nature, it will stay timeless. Even after a decade it will stay in style. I'm not sure if the Bonne is making that kind of a statement. The Interceptor seems like a promising machine from Royal Enfield. If they could just make it a little more compact, there wont be anything to complain at all.

I do what I want. I bought the RE. Sweet bike. I can't wait to hit the first service, and unlock the next level. Is the Triumph a better bike? A little, yes. Is it better enough to warrant the price difference? Hahahahanooooo.

If your wallet is saying RE, your bank account will definitely say Triumph..

I've got the Triumph Street Cup and it's everything I wanted my old air-cooled Thruxton to be: smaller, nimble, and quicker off the line. I rode a friend's Enfield Interceptor the other day, and honestly -- it was as smooth, seemed just as quick or damned close, and it handled marvelously on a windy mountain road. Were I buying a new bike to pop around town and was down to the Triumph or Enfield, I'd go Enfield; if you want to really tear up the twisties, Triumph.

For the difference in price I will just accept street twin's better ..and ride my way home on the 650.

If you don’t have a triumph, u don’t have a triumph!! Definitely Interceptor is value for money!!

Good to see PD. Super nice guy, I rode with him during the Himalayan Odyssey in 2012. A great rider and very helpful (he helped me get up when I crashed on the More Plains).

Guys! Very well done! This is the most entertaining and informative 'VS' video I have seen on the tube! Kudos!

Best comparison without any partiality with their brand name and easily understandable for those who has High and as well as low budget..👍

Interceptor bro The look is 🔥 One allstar chuck,Levi's 501 stf, skull 💀Tshirt,wallet chain and a classic helmet will sure look cool on this yeah

If Interceptor had Ride by wire Traction Control All Led setup Tubeless tires BS6 Alloy wheels.... It would be more value for money even if they increase price to about 50k😍😍😍

and what do we need all this for what? the simpler the more reliable. It was precisely because I didn't have these useless extras that I bought RE. Here in Portugal the price difference between RE interceptor and Triumph streer twim is 3500 euros. And the street twin there is not central stand.

Triumph has six-world class factories around the world. Two of these factories are based in Hinckley in the UK, just a stone's throw from the Mallory Park race track. There are also three factories in Chonburi, Thailand, and one in Manaus, Brazil. Triumph is British, and at least some are made and assembled in the UK.

Royal Enfield is better looking and better value. Let's hope they build a bigger version soon.
