I want a bike for long-term use and have shortlisted the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the
Jawa Perak. Which one would be the most comfortable on occasional long rides?

Abhishek Sreepal, Bengaluru

AAA We haven’t ridden the Jawa Perak yet and the bike isn’t expected to be ready until at least August 2019, so we can’t comment directly on that bike. What we can tell you is that the Interceptor offers a much higher level of refinement and performance than the Jawa and Jawa Forty Two we have recently ridden. As far as reliability goes, both products have much to prove in this regard. But if money is no concern, we suggest you go for the superior riding experience of the twin-cylinder Royal Enfield.

The 300 SEF-R enduro bike made for a relatively friendly introduction to riding in the dunes.

A rally navigation tower is seriously complicated and I cannot fathom how the riders monitor/control it while riding flat out all day long.
