Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 question
Q.
I am 6'4 feet in height. I recently booked RE Interceptor 650. Will the RE Interceptor 650 be comfortable for me on long rides? If not then which Royal Enfield bike is more comfortable for my height on long rides? My budget is 4 lakh.
A.
Most probably not. May have to modify seat and handlebar height. Some people find it comfortable in long rides so I would recommend a long test ride before settling for an Interceptor. Both the TB500X and Himalayan are other options but they lack in power compared to the Interceptor.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 question
Q.
I am confused in buying Interceptor or Jawa, help me out.
A.
1. --- 24 years ago i have driven old jawa for thousands of KM . It will thrill me every time i touch the handle bar & pump it to alive the engine. The exhaust thump & interval between the next thump cant say in words. Flick & Kick is a wonderful experience . I used to get mileage around 30 kmpl to 35 kmpl. 2.--- Now to coming new jawa . I went test ride new jawa with imaginations & drove more than 210 km i got mileage of 18 kmpl. Engine is powerful till 110 km/hr then it straining to climb speed with vibrations & becomes too noisy .The exhaust sound is like hero splendor bike. There are lots welding visually seen around new jawa . They recreated visibly old jawa . Visually good bike. I didn't get moved or ringed & impressed while riding. 3.-- I owned old bullet 1996 model i used it as a bicycle go everywhere with it. 4.-- Initially when i test drove RE Classic 350 UCE i was upset with engine thump & Rhythm. But the driving experience impressed gave the same pleasure simply same as my old bullet. So i was convinced and purchased a RE Classic 350 UCE engine model and riding till date. 5.-- In addition to it i have purchased interceptor 650 without test driving it . Because the test ride bike & My allotted bike came in same lot went for registration same date . I would say the powerful bike i never owned & Ever manufactured by Royal enfield. my choice was good. I getting mileage around 22 kmpl to 27 kmpl depending upon speed i go.So that's how the new jawa didn't impress me. I never need a bike for visual pleasure.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 question
Q.
I am confused between Interceptor and Himalayan? mostly I am a city rider and yearly twice touring, which is suitable for me?
A.
Having owned both of them I'd say that for touring the Himalayan makes sense. My only problem with the Himalayan was its lack of power or feeling that it do with some more power. I know that a lot of folks are waiting for a 650 Himalayan.Having said that a lot depends on you and your requirements. Interceptor is great as a daily commuter. You'll most probably have to tweak the handlebar and seat to get the desired riding position. Himalayan seat is excellent. Panniers etc again Himalayan. In case of the Interceptor you'll have to get suitable panniers and stays etc. Both are good and different categories so in the e d it's your call.

Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 question
Q.
I am banking professional .Having 125 cc bike Honda stunner.Will be gt 650 be a good choice??Or I should go
for 250 cc bike prior to medium capacity bike??
A.
The Continental GT 650 is the perfect upgrade for a Royal Enfield enthusiast who’s keen on buying a retro-modern sporty motorcycle. However, its slightly aggressive riding position may not be comfortable
for long rides. The GT’s sporty riding position makes it much more suitable for twisty mountain roads and even high-speed straight-line blasts. This cafe racer will be the most affordable 650cc parallel-twin in the country. Upgrading the bike completely depends on one's choice and preference but once you get going you get used to it. Moreover, there are many options available under 250 cc, to name a few are Bajaj Pulsar 220F, Honda CBR250R, Yamaha Fazer 25. To explore details regarding the options. click on the following link. Also, do take the test ride of the bike in order to clear all your doubts. https://www.zigwheels.com/new_bike_search.php?bypricerange=100000-200000&bybodytype=sports&byenginecapacity=201-500&sortfield=popularity&sortdirection=desc

Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 question
Q.
What's the difference in seat height of old GT 535 and new GT 650? Whether the new GT will be comfortable when compared to previous one?
A.
The old Continental GT 650 gets a 10mm decrease in the saddle height if compared to the Continental GT 535 which has a saddle height of 800mm. The new GT650 has a saddle height of 790mm. The riding posture on the new GT650 is more aggressive than the GT 535 but it is the engine refinement and the presence of parallel twin which makes new GT 650 a delight to ride.
