Our take on this /// Verdict

The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Baker Express is a standout model in the Royal Enfield lineup, and for good reason. After extensive riding, I can confidently say that this bike offers a unique blend of style, performance, and comfort. The Interceptor 650 handles exceptionally well, making it a joy to ride on both lazy backroads and highway cruises. The smooth and even power delivery from its 650cc parallel twin engine is impressive, and the lack of excessive vibration makes it a pleasure to ride for extended periods. While it may not be about raw speed, the bikes handling and power make it tempting to push the limits. The suspension is well-tuned, providing a firm yet smooth ride, and the braking, though not perfect, is adequate. Minor issues like the close gear ratios between 5th and 6th gears and some heat from the cylinder head are overshadowed by the overall riding experience. This bike is a testament to Royal Enfields ability to create a motorcycle that is both nostalgic and modern.

Price

In India, the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Baker Express is priced competitively. The ex-showroom price typically ranges between 2.9 lakh to 3.1 lakh, depending on the color and any customizations. Once you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to around 3.5 lakh to 3.7 lakh. Given the performance, build quality, and the brands reputation, this price point is quite reasonable. It offers a compelling package for those looking for a mid-size motorcycle that combines classic styling with modern engineering.

Latest Updates

Friday, 25 October 2024 11:01 AM The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is set to receive a significant update, as seen in recent spy shots. The new version retains its retro design but features updated suspension with larger front forks, circular LED turn indicators, and a new circular instrument cluster, possibly a TFT display. The bike also gets twin front discs with axially mounted callipers and updated exhausts. I believe these changes will enhance the riding experience and appeal to both new and existing enthusiasts.

Thursday, 02 September 2021 09:12 PM For the 2022 model year, Royal Enfield introduced several updates to the Interceptor 650, including new color options such as Canyon Red, Ventura Blue, Downtown Drag, and Sunset Strip, along with an updated chrome variant called Mark 2. The bike also gained Euro5 compliance with minimal performance changes, and it now features blacked-out rims and fork gaiters across more color variants. I think these aesthetic updates will keep the bike fresh and appealing to a wider audience.

Wednesday, 19 May 2021 09:37 PM The 2020 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 saw continued popularity, with owners like one from Dorset, England, customizing their bikes extensively. This particular Baker Express Interceptor 650 was modified with a S&S high lift cam, Brembo braking components, a Tec bikes Stinger 2-1 exhaust system, and other performance-enhancing parts. I believe such customizations highlight the versatility and enthusiast appeal of the Interceptor 650.

Sunday, 28 April 2019 01:22 AM When the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 was first launched in 2018, it marked a significant milestone for the company, especially with its Baker Express color option. One enthusiast in India waited anxiously for the bikes release, booking it just days after the launch announcement and taking delivery in April 2018. The Baker Express color was a key factor in his decision, adding a unique touch to his garage. I think the anticipation and satisfaction of owning such a bike reflect the strong following Royal Enfield has in India.
