The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 has topped the sales charts in the United Kingdom so far this year. The much-liked bike has been seeing success the world over, but, this surely will give the Indian manufacturer a boost towards similar future products.
The reasons for buying a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 understandably varies, however value for money as well as eligibility to A2 licence holders make strong points. This is indeed quite a change from last year, where the BMW R 1250 GS, which costs a hell of a lot more, stood atop this hill. The Interceptor 650 until June 2020 stood at 196 units sold, which barely scratches its sales figures in India, but still a large amount in Briton.
The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 along with its sibling the Continental GT 650 run on a 648-cc SOHC twin-cylinder engine that produces power figures at the crank of 47 hp and 52 Nm of torque. Transmission is done by a six-speed gearbox that works to a tee. Pricing for the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 in India starts at Rs 2.65 lakhs ex-showroom.
