Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2018

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2018

While the Continental GT 650 is not a completely new model visually (there is already the Conti GT 535), an Interceptor 650 with a two-cylinder engine is now coming onto the market for the first time in almost 50 years. The styling therefore skilfully reflects the flair of the 1960s, while the technology is up to date. You won't find any electronic features, but the parallel twin-cylinder engine with 48 hp and 53 Newton metres of torque is surprisingly agile and the handling is very neutral. The Brembo brake is also pleasing with good dosing and the Pirelli tyres do not show any weaknesses. The seating position is very comfortable, so if you don't want to ride your Interceptor 650 so sportily, you can cruise comfortably - it can do that very well too.

Agile and refined powerplant

cool two-cylinder sound

comfortable seating position

stable handling

good brakes

successful old school look

classic round instruments

ABS not quite sensitive, no electronic features - in case anyone needs them...

Triumph Bonneville 2010

Compared to the other classic Triumph models, the Bonneville is the fastest bike. The Scrambler, for example, offers less reserves because of the tyres alone, and the Speedmaster has even less lean angle clearance due to its design. However, the Bonnie is a fully-fledged and versatile motorbike with which you can experience many great tours.
