months Have test ridden the bikes and found them amazing, but what worries me is after sales maintenance and
availability of parts etc. fact is I love Neo-Retro bikes and frankly at that price point there is no other
option. What do you guys think

Q. I wanted to purchase between Continental GT 650 and Interceptor 650 but confused.
- What do u prefer more funtionality (interceptor ) or good looks (gt 650). Are u willing to sacrifice comfort for some good cornering them go for gt if ur lookimg for short rider then gt if looking for touring long rides then interceptor if want good 2 seater then interceptor if for solo mostly then gt occaional pillion rider then gt. If ur porpose is impress women then difinetly gt coz that ride posture is more aggressive makes u look strong its like ur on this heavy looking bike ur shoulders really arms look agressive thats the actual reason of that sitting posture people like gt more specially chrome model bcoz it looks so good on road u stand out of crowd and yes functionally interceptor is a better package its all about using the bike that bike is more versatile both bike are designed for people with diferent personalities and yes u should test ride then to feel then in real world only then u will know what i mean
- Bro for a sporty feeling u shuld choose GT650 otherwise if u are a tourer u shuld go for Interceptor 650 choice is yours in how the way u ride for.. But for a short tour and a sporty feel u shld go for Gt650

A fun filled thrilling ride, its great joy at canyon carvings. Breeze on highway and easy in city rides even. A great value for money product with superior quality hardware and certainly that 650 cc twin cylinder engine is a gem. Having 25 kmpl out of most of my highway rides. Service cost is so feasible and even service period is longer compared to any other bike in its price range. In comparison with Interceptor Conti GT adds on its sporty feel. Happy Riding 😊

It is a retro styling sports bike offered by the RE.It has 0 vibes but it vowels when it ruined on 160 or more,rest the bike is very impressive.

I feel comfortable in gt650 2021 bs6 i own a british green i like the bike but the bike has a complain that is side stand sensor so i wanna order
Kevin Kevin few weeks ago -
Overall it's good, but more power could have been taken out from a 650 cc engine, which will reduce the mileage for sure😋
Vishal Chauhan few weeks ago -

I booked intercepter 650 colour is Baker Express and as per dealer they will be able to deliver the bike in Jan 2020 end. whatever information I have gather through YouTube videos ... it's looks with minor change which need to be done after delivery.I am looking for better headlight reason being headlight isn't matching what rest of the bike is offering and I believe Thunderbird headlight would have been awesome additions and seat which is not great as per the bike standards.. so looking for seat changes with better qauilty for sure.

Very Good Bike , The money you pay for the vehicle has value. Ride, Breaking are exceptionaly good. What I don't like is the head light which is not powerful and it should be modified. Also tail lamp they should change it to LED. Royal Enfield should come out with mag wheels for this bike.

Best one from RE . The engine is well refined and maintenance level is very less. More than enough for my needs . Its an all rounder and is easy to maintain.
