Despite its more modern design, the Interceptor 650 is another victim of the Royal Enfield brand’s historical reputation for questionable reliability. They praise the bike’s simplicity and say some owners had trouble free experiences. Some have had minor annoyances, while others have had frame cracks. Debate often revolves around how widespread or isolated these issues are, and whether they’re different than other bikes in the same class. That leaves potential buyers wondering if the Interceptor is a daily rider you can rely on, or if they’re taking a risk. Also in the discussion are factors such as build quality, long term durability and the availability of parts and service. The Interceptor's reliability is hard to pin down because of conflicting reports from owners.
