Royal Enfield

Interceptor 650

Royal Enfield's Interceptor 650 packs a characterful 648cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin at the lowest entry price in the retro 650 class — the three-year unlimited-mileage warranty is a unique ownership assurance that no Japanese competitor matches at this price point. At 47 hp and 480 lb, it is built for character and affordability over outright performance; compare it against the Bonneville T100 and Honda CB650R, not the Z650 or MT-07.

Known strengths

  • Characterful 648cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin with 270-degree crank delivers a thumpy exhaust note and 47 hp at an unbeatable sub-$6,200 price
  • Upright neutral riding position, 18-inch wheels, and twin rear shocks provide a planted, classic roadster feel
  • Three-year unlimited-mile warranty, LED lighting, and USB port make it a compelling value proposition backed by a growing US dealer network

Buying intel

Common issues

  • 47 hp and 480 lb wet weight result in a modest power-to-weight ratio compared to Japanese 650-class competitors
