  • Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. Surprisingly, the Interceptor 650 feels less like a Royal Enfield and more like a 90’s Honda -- such is the refinement level and performance on offer. The motor is a gem with loads of torque from the get-go and a nice soundtrack accompanying it. Quality and fit and finish levels are quite good and the motorcycle feels built to last. This is easily the best Royal Enfield out there. Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is powered by a 648 cc engine.

    A Beauty That Performs 

    Six months into owning a Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 and I am mostly in love. This bike is a head turner with its unique cafe racer styling and sleek bodywork. Riding it is a thrill, thanks to the punchy 248 cc engine that churns out 30 horsepower, making highway rides exhilarating. The handling is sharp and the bike feels agile, perfect for urban environments. The riding posture is aggressive which while great on short sprints can become uncomfortable on longer commutes. Plus, the bike’s stiff suspension does not do favors on rough surfaces.

    built for your satisfaction 

    My Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 is a cafe racer styled bike known for its stylish looks, decent performance, and lightweight handling, making it suitable for urban environments and enthusiastic riders. It comes equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, providing good stopping power but lacks in ABS which is not liked by my father. It might vary depending on the market, but it generally doesn't include extras like Bluetooth connectivity or a USB charging port. However, if you want comfort for long rides, under-seat storage space you have to search for other option .
