Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is better between Honda CB350RS or Royal Enfield Continental GT 650?
  • Both the bikes are good in their own forte. the CB350RS seems like a bit of a missed opportunity from Honda. It could have used the capable foundations of the H’ness to create a more unique motorcycle with a more well-defined identity that would’ve appealed to an entirely new and different audience. Instead, it’s taken this middle-of-the-road approach and created a halfway house that we find hard to recommend to anyone except museum curators. On the other hand, the Continental GT 650 is a fun-to-ride cafe racer. The GT’s sporty riding position makes it much more suitable for twisty mountain roads and even high-speed straight-line blasts. To top things off, the twin-cylinder motor provides the performance and refinement that the 535 simply couldn’t. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.
Q. Should I buy a Interceptor 650 now or will there be a new model in 2022 for the Interceptor 650?
  • Is there a 2023 version announced?
  • Is there a 2023 version announced?
  • The only difference is the 2022 is Euro 5 compliant.

Q. I own a Classic 350, I want to upgrade to Interceptor 650. Is it good for slow riders and does weight be an issue compared Classic 350?
  • If slow riding you look for, stick with classic 350
  • I just purchased a 2022 Interceptor 650 and after replacing the entire exhaust system with much lighter pieces and removing several unneeded items, I've lost approx 45 lbs. I love the way it handles now.
