I absolutely love mine! So much so that I bought two! Proud owner of a 2016 RE GT 535 (single) and a 2022 RE GT 650 120 Yr Anniversary Edition (#19 of 60 for North America). Great bikes for a beginner like me!

In high mountains and off roads of Ladakh I found absolute comfortable ride with GT. And not only me but I saw there a lot of Indians are preferring GT and Inte over Himalayan at the highest motorable road of the world.

I’ve got a 2022 classic 350, I can’t go anywhere without someone coming over and asking me about it. It’s definitely not fast by any means but I love the look and sound.

Proud owner of a 2022 GT 650. I've been a sportbike guy forever. Daily rides always ended up with felony speeds. This bike is a blast no matter what speed I'm riding. Every mod just makes it cooler. I've gotten more compliments on this bike than ANY other bike I've owned, and I've had many. Great review for a great motorcycle. Don't let anyone fool you. It's a great beginner bike, but that doesn't mean someone like myself won't find the magic.

I've had one for four years now. Love it, and have had no problems other than a frayed throttle return cable. I got mine when they first came out in 2019. Mods include: performance mufflers and large diameter, decatted pipes from TEC; DNA high flow intake; small LED signal lights; small headlight brackets; a tail chop kit from MK Designs that eliminates the rear fender; power module; solo seat; and a bunch of other little things. I think the HP is probably close to 60 now and it's lost 35 or so lbs. Now I just need to work on losing 15 lbs. off my body! Eliminating weight is the same thing as increasing horse power.

i know it isn’t practical, but i’m totally going to make my interceptor into a street scrambler. one of the best things about RE is how much customization you can do.

I've owned a bunch of bikes. the continental is the slowest bike I've owned. It's also one of my favorites.

I sold my '71 R75 BMW because this bike (same color as your test bike) is so much better in so many ways. Fuel injection, disc brakes, modern suspension, smoother engine and quieter! Love everything about it!! Nice review!

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentimental attachment to this genre of motorcycle. In the day, I had a '78 Yamaha XS650 vertical twin bike. Same basic design concept... British twin stying but with the dependability of a Japanese build quality. The bike was a bit heavy, not terribly fast, but it handled well (enough) and made wonderful noises.

I hope Royal Enfield makes a 900cc liquid-cooled version like the Speed Twin 900.

saw this same bike by work the other day, wanted to do a photoshoot with my interceptor 650! this is one of the best “vintage” bikes you can buy, i absolutely love mine. great for colorado cities and some mountain roads too.

Not mentioned in the video is just how nice that gearbox is. The clutch is also fairly light and works well. The bike is too heavy, made worse by the engine being mounted so high (if you drop this bike you will find out that for a 200kg bike it takes a lot to pick it up off the ground, don't ask me how I know). Still I love the bike. I've put self cancelling indicators on mine, not the easiest mod but for an absented minded guy like me well worth the effort.

My first bike. Lovely experience. Always wanted something like this forever. Everyday I'm amazed at this beauty actually being there to ride.

I've had an Interceptor for 10 months and about 2,400 miles. I'm still happy with it. It checks quite a few boxes for me: it looks great, sounds great, great gas mileage (about 55-60mpg) handles well, lots of aftermarket stuff. It'll cruise all day at 75mph no problem. Power and torque are plenty for most purposes. The six-speed gearbox is nice. The brakes work fine, the ergonomics are fine. It has a likeable personality and it's gotten *a lot* of compliments. But it's not a bike I'd want to ride to Alaska on. Or probably even 200 miles. The reason being that the suspension and seat are both stiff and kind of cobby. Around town it's fine but it wouldn't be fun riding it all day long. That and the foot pegs demand you work around them some because they're in the way when you put your feet down. The right mirror vibrates (the left one is fine) and it's hard to impossible to read the digital gas gauge in bright sunlight. Those are my only complaints.

The more I watch reviews of Royal Enfield the more I think of them as a the bike world version of the Miata.

I have a Scram 411 and its so great for the roads here in CO, Once i am more comfortable riding, i am definitely going to be looking into RE's 650 Platforms for my next bike. So excited for this companys bikes!

It looks really awesome. Last bike I rode was back in the 80s a 78 or 79 Yamaha XS650 which looks similar in a way. That bike had a kick start, and man if that thing couldnt jar your leg when it didnt align right. Also the points constantly needed tinkering. It was my pals bike and I didnt even have a proper license, just the learners permit, how I didnt kill myself is just amazing. I like the retro look and modern features, this time Ill do it proper and take some biker courses and learn stuff instead of winging it.

The royal enfield twins are really nice looking bikes in person.

Great looking bike at a wonderful price. Reminds me of a vintage Norton 750 Commando I once test rode and considered purchasing, but it needed so much servicing and vibrated to such a degree that I thought better of it.

These are great. I have an interceptor. Nice fun bikes that are simple to maintain and don’t break the bank. Your comments about speed/power etc are spot on. Buy the sports bike if you want that. In the UK you need a 50cc to keep up with traffic. It’s THAT busy now.

Great video. I've got a 2022 INT 650. You should give that a try. Only difference is some styling, foot peg position & handlebars. I was going to go with the GT, but also wanted to do some touring & a buddy that's got a lot more miles under his belt recommended the INT. Just got off a 1,300 mile ride in a week through IA, MN, &WI. It performed beautifully.

the exhaust bend pipe modification is so cool, loved it..bcz twin exhaust sometime makes the bike look wide.

I have owned the Bullet 350 iron, the Classic 500, the Interceptor 650 and now have the Classic 350. The Classic has a magic to it no other bike has.

Almost 5k miles on my Interceptor. Love that bike!

It truly is a gorgeous Bike after all the time and money and pile on frustration I really wish this was available10 years ago

That's why a bought a 2003 kawasaki W650 (there're about 250 of them in The States ) . I was actually going to buy an RE650 , then this one came-along too-cheap to turn-down ( a real-retro-too; 360-degree-crank) . Maybe one-day i will have an RE650 as-well . Dave NZ

You have great taste in vehicles 👍👍 I have a C4 ZR-1 and a Continental GT, such a great combo 😉

OOOO RE. You guys gonna do some of the new ones they've been coming out with recently? The Hunter 350 looks so cool.

The GT650 i own is a keeper due to the enjoyment it gave me. I wont sell it but i will add 1 more bike so my GT will not be lonely anymore.

I absolutely love my 2yr old intercepter,Done the usual mods Granted I only use it on my days off work as I’ve kept my Honda 125f for commuting to work(ideal for city rides & very cheap to run!) I’ve had no troubles at all with my beloved RE I look after her & she looks after me! Great bike!

I have this exact same bike with the TEC 2to1 exhaust. I love it. Next week I get my Hitchcock 865 kit and it going to be so much fun upgrading the bike to be as fast as it looks.

It is for those who have put their adrenaline days behind and just want to enjoy the ride without the pressure of seeking speed thrills. It is liberating in that way.

Keep the bike videos coming TFL

I know people prefer the Conti but I'm more of a Interceptor guy. In any case, both are great!

I agree. I have a 70s Honda. As reliable as Hondas are they can break down at a moments notice. After you’ve replaced every component on the bike it gets a bit better.

I love that this could be turn into a Cafe Racer very easily, it gives out the vibe of Cafe Racer little bit designed like a Vintage and cafe racer but still needs modifications, but it will be perfect for a Cafe Racer project

you nailed the title of this video! Says to much about what we struggle with 24 hours a damn day.

Great video. Thanks.

I absolutely love mine, very similar, just in Rocker Red, same 2-into-1 exhaust, and with DH air filter,very free revving, your at 70 mph as quick as anything 👍. So who needs more power, although I still think RE need to release also a 860 GT.

Pretty nifty, looks a lot like 1 of my bfs '67 BSA Lighting. That I happened to buy from a pilot friend who had it since new, who lived in Loveland(near Berthoud)When sold to us only 2800ish miles on it! Since NEW!! Definitely agree on if you want the LOOK, Without all the messiness 😂=maintenance

Funny I’ve had a few people ask me if my bike was fully restored… “what year is it” is common question.

I've bought one to track / Circuit test riding, so that I can eventually go racing on a 1950s bike. I will get all the practice I need with a lower powered rather heavy bike, without all the hundreds of hours spent working on the 50s bike as they are generally broken all the time! The RE will be reliable for thousands of miles and will only need minor maintenance along the way.

I'm going to get one. Love it good value for money

My dream bike. Still quite expensive for Indian standards. My father used to own a similar bike from RE. Would like to upgrade him to a new Royal Enfield hopefully by next year. We call this "Loha laat" bike in india because of it's reliability and mesmerizing road presence.

New subscriber Brother...🤝🏼 Love from NorthEast India...🖤 I have Rare Yamaha Rx135 and Gt650 Mr.clean🔥

We have 25 years old royal enfield, still using it in our village.

I would positively like to see more tests of the RE line of bikes!

My dad has one of these and it’s a fantastic bike I’ve been out on it a few times and absolutely love it, I’m thinking of selling one of my bikes so I can afford one of these.

I bought recently 😊❤ and i have this chrome tank one and twin exhaust too. And it's quite louder😅

The latest 2023 model of both interceptor and continental gt have got 18" alloy wheels with tubeless tyres and new headlight module similar to new super meteor 650.

RE is cranking out some super cool bikes. I noticed the RE American headquarters is in Milwaukee...hmm? Trying to make another company take notice?

thanks for the review! Also, where is your leather jacket from?

That TEC 2 into 1 pipe looks like a Sharpie mustache on the Mona Lisa.

I have the Interceptor.. in Ravishing Red.... recently solo'd nearly 2000 miles to the Ozarks. I'm not a fan of the interstates but wanted to make time early Am.... jump on I-35.... put the throttle lock at 75mph.... and ..Wow ..skily smooth... 4000 rpm's ( I changed the front sprocket )... I stayed on the interstate for three states. ... then discovered what attracts riders to the Ozark's. Twisities ! I tell others.. everyone built a 650 Twin over the years... Triumph, BSA, Yamaha... etc etc... they all were try'n to build.. the RE 650. 😎

Those are neat bikes. I’d like to have one eventually. I can’t justify it right now. I wouldn’t have time to ride it. Sport bikes are my primary thing. When I retire it would be fun to have one of these group rides and stuff.

May 30 4 o'clock in the morning and I'm heading from Kansas City Missouri area to Cedar Rapids Iowa to pick up a GT 650

I can't wait for the Super Metro 650 come to the U.S.

For the TFL Bike guys: If you guys like reviewing Neo retro bikes. I am up in Fort Collins and I have a 2019 Triumph Bobber black that you guys can review if you want.

Brilliant Indian engineering, kudos

One of the particularity of this bike are the 2 independant exhausts, 1 for each cylinder. That confers a gorgious stereo sound, especially at descelleration. That 2 in 1 is a modification you should avoid. It saves some weight, ok. And so what...

Love my INT650. Turned into a decent scrambler .👍👍👍

I have one, it’s a fun,beautiful,pocket friendly and easy ridding bike.

I drove an 80hp Corolla to USC and all over Los Angeles. 47hp in a 445 pound bike sounds like a huge weight advantage compared to 80hp in a 1980s Corolla.

What's the song in the intro, I'm in love with it

I'm no expert but it has a wobble issue which can be fixed by changing tyres. I'm one of the fans of this bike and I've seen others recommend that solution.

Love those yellow leather gloves. What's the brand?

I have a Hero Honda Achiever 150 Sports 19yrs old bike still running smoothly with a top speed of 132km per hour ❤

Time for a RE Super Meteor review !

Take this to the twisties. It's extremely rewarding.

I want a RE Meteor 650 Touring as soon as they come to the US.

7:31 its not British. . Its indian . . . 😂 . .

really efficient dynamics on that one

I have a '21 Interceptor, a '72 BMW R75 and an '82 Moto Guzzi 850 California. Well the Interceptor is nice but has nothing in common with my two other vintage bikes.

5:38 Imagine how 10.5hp would feel to you if 43hp on a bike seems like low amount of power to you. (my 125cc bike has 10.5hp)

Should try a Classic 350. It's a hoot

Such a stunning bike

It's a great looking and sound bike. After watching this video I want one now.

do you recommend this for newbies?

U have to ride it once. I fallen in love with classic 350 and continental although continental is little bit expensive but u want it u gotta spend it 😅

happy to hear that people are loving our Indian bikes.

The exhaust looks great, can someone please reply which brand are those

I loved my Interceptor 650. But for a modern bike, its still pretty maintenance heavy. Oil changes every 3k, and valve checks every 6k. Maybe not as extreme as a true vintage bike, but still a lot of service required for a modern bike.

More Royal Enfields please.

Get red rhoster exhaust u love the sound of it ❤

do you know what the exhaust system its so compliments the bike

Great video of a wonderful bike, but with all due respect: the analysis at 6:08 is misguided. Real classic motorcycle enthusiasts accept the headaches of owning one. It comes with a different outlook on life, which has nothing to do with ease of use, practicality or efficiency. There's lots of people out there who know what I mean.

Do a review on the Royal Enfield Classic 350

I own a Royal Enfield Continental GT650 in Rocker Red. I think that it is beautiful.

My 2022 GT has been in the shop for the past three months with an electrical issue that they havent been able to sort...

I have never owned or even ridden a motorbike. I've always been a petrol head. After discovering these things an hour ago I've fallen in love.

@TFLbike has he coloured the engine pipe.?

Please do a review of the Royal enfield interceptor 650.

Which exhaust is on the bike, the S&S or the AEW?

@TFLbike What gloves are you wearing?

Damn !! It looks good

Love you bro 💗💗💗💗 from India

You can make it more louder by removing DB killer if it can came with your country varient. 3:54

It has a wobble issues near top end Did u feel that I don’t think u mentioned it I think no media channels mentioned that

How hard is it to maintain chrome tank?

Good Morning Guys. I have the RE disease. 2022 GT 650, 2022 Classic 350, and a 2019 Trials Replica. Love them all. If you ever come up to the Black Hills I would be happy to share and have you ride Iron Mountain Road.
