Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2020

The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 offers a very coherent overall package in the retro segment. A relaxed seating position, lots of chrome and the cultivated two-cylinder make it a pretty object of desire that also stands up to everyday use. You won't find any modern features, but with an output of 47 hp, traction control and riding modes would be superfluous anyway. If you long for decelerated, relaxed cruising and purist motorcycling, you will definitely be happy with the Interceptor 650.
