  • 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.

Interceptor is the most affordable multi-cylinder bike in India, Power delivery is linear and friendly but still exciting, Extremely refined. On the other hand, probably the most un-KTMish KTM of them all, the 250 Duke with its relaxed motor and comfy suspension is a great choice for those who aren’t looking to set lap records but want something quick and convenient for everyday use. KTM 250 Duke is powered by a 248.8 cc engine. This Duke 250 engine generates a power of 30 PS @ 9000 rpm and a torque of 24 Nm @ 7500 rpm.

    Heavy duty bike 

    Royal Enfield interceptor 650 comes with a classy old school design and good build quality. it has a 650 cc engine which is much powerful than other bikes in this segment which gives decent mileage of 25-30 kmpl. the fit and finishing is perfect and the sitting posture is comfortable. body weight is little bit heavy which makes it difficult to handle at low speed. overall beside the pricing and body weight I am satisfied with this bike

    Low price high power 

    My best buy in life Interceptor 650 gives me a better ride quality with good to handle and is the most affordable 650 cc bike in india. With the refined engine the power delivery is exciting and i feel it is better than Continental GT 650 but the features are less. The power and weight is very high of this bike and the mileage is around 25 kmpl but at high speed it feels heavy. The torque is amazing and there is no bike with this level at this price.
