Do people really mean what they say about the Interceptor 650 being beginner friendly?

For new riders, the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is regularly touted as a great option as it’s easy to manage power, has classic looks, and is relative cheap. But there’s some disagreement about whether its weight, lack of modern safety features, and questionable reliability make it a less than ideal choice for those just dipping their toes into the car shopping pool. Some say it’s too simple and forgiving to be a good learning bike, while others say newer, lighter bikes with more advanced technology are safer options for new riders. This discussion is based on the power delivery of the bike, its handling characteristics and maintenance requirements. If you’re a new rider trying to select your first bike, then you need to know what are the pros and cons of going with an Interceptor 650 over other options. Is the retro charm of it worth giving up for those who are still learning to play?

I began on an Interceptor and it’s a good bike to start on. It's stable at low speeds, there is good visibility, and it's smooth and predictable power. On top of that, you aren't going to get in trouble too quickly. At first, it was intimidating, but you get used to the weight really quickly.
