      The royal Enfield classic 650
      The royal Enfield classic 650 is one of those bikes that makes you stop and stare before you even turn the key. The moment you fire it up, the parallel-twin engine greets you with a smooth but deep exhaust note. Out on the roads, the bikes pulls strongly in mid-range. Cruising at 90-100 km/h feels effortless, and you can tell this machine is built to stretch its legs on highway. The 6- speed gear box shifts clean, and the assist clutch makes life a bit easier in traffic, though the lever itself is still on the heavier side

      Love and Hate for this amazing ride Continues
      I chose this bike because of the Smooth ride, great pick up and effortless torque with its parallel twin engine. Also the safety on long distance rides with its anti breaking system (ABS). While it is little heavy for city traffic, but it is unbeatable for price and performance. I have bought the bike second-hand from another person. While he had clocked 15000 km on the odometer, I have already done 17000 within a year, with 3 cross-country and 1 coastal route ride covering the entire coastal belt. I am loving it, though sometimes the low mileage and frequent pit stops are annoying. I would recommend this bike to people who will use it for long-distance rides and not use it for going to office or riding in traffic. In city traffic a lighter 150cc is better. But on long distance rides, interceptor is smooth like a hot knife through a butter.

      Royal Enfield interceptor 650 a true twin classic
      I chose the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 because it offers the perfect balance between classic retro design and modern performance. The twin-cylinder engine, smooth power delivery. Best bike till the date I drove. The ride experience has been excellent. The engine is incredibly smooth, especially compared to single-cylinder bikes. It feels relaxed at city speeds and very confident on highways handling is safe due to damping. Yes, I recommend this bike because of best looks and little bit maintenance other wise best bike and the torque is greater. I am addicted to bike what a bike, Its feels relaxed at City and very comfortable on highway.

      Simply lovely
      I am royal enfield fan and wanted something that will turn eyes. With a retro look and a classic bike. The bike has a god rubble to it and has an easy engine to work with if you are into doing diy mods or service. The passanger space is very un ergonomic. Eg. if the pillion wants to sit comfortably they usually put their leg on the gear shifter and the break leaver. The seat is also less cussioned i.e. softer making the pillion a lot fall under hard acceleration. For Batchelors and non pillion riders mile munchers happy go lucky travels who want to ride seriously but chill at the same time. And if you a rumble enthusiast you must try the bike.. it not be the best in a spec but over all its a good bike.
