Right from the time the all-new Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 was unveiled at the EICMA show last year, it has been one of the most eagerly anticipated motorcycles in India. First, because India loves REs and secondly the upcoming twins are seen as the first large displacement motorcycles that might be priced at an affordable range. While there is still some time its India launch, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, had his first encounter with the classic retro offering at the opening the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting Summit.
The fuel-injected, air/oil-cooled motor generates 47PS at 7,100rpm and 52 Nm at 4,000rpm and is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The motorcycles also feature a slip and assist clutch system. The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 draws inspiration from the yesteryear Royal Enfield Interceptor, and it looks in line with the modern classics seen from other manufacturers. See how it fares against the naked twin-cylinder motorcycles available in India here.
The wheelbase at 1400mm, ground clearance, at 174mm and length, at 2122mm, are also identical and distinct. The Continental GT 650 Twin, however, shorter than the Interceptor 650 Twin. Braking duties, on both motorcycles, are handled by a 320mm disc at the front and a 240mm disc at the rear.
