Trending Questions on Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Jainon Dec 8, 2025

I currently ride a Classic 500 and am considering upgrading to either the Bear 650 or the Moto Morini Seiemmezzo. I ride mostly on weekends, covering over 200 km and do a bit of city riding during the week. Which of these bikes is the better long-term choice for both city use and long rides?

Between the two bikes you're considering, we'd recommend you steer clear of the Moto Morini because of its minuscule dealer network and because this bike has yet to prove its reliability in our market. 

Coming to the Royal Enfield Bear 650 is a great bike in many ways, but its stiff rear suspension can be a dealbreaker over bad roads. Instead, we recommend you look at the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 for highway usage. 

If you're open to the idea of a pre-loved machine, a good condition, used Kawasaki Versys 650 should be available around the Rs 5 lakh mark, which is a similar amount of money as the bikes you're considering anyway.

Asked by: Vamshi Naiduon Dec 1, 2025

My Dominar is showing signs of aging and the ABS is almost done. Wanted a city friendly bike which is comfortable for the pillion as well, have shortlisted Honda H'ness or a Triumph Scrambler X. A Super Meteor is also on the list, but it feels too much for the city and little out of reach.

Between the Honda H'ness CB350 and the Triumph Scrambler 400 X, we would steer you toward the Triumph bike purely because it offers you significantly higher performance for not that much more money. The Scrambler is also a smooth, comfortable do-it-all motorcycle which has good passenger accommodations as well. The H'ness is also comfortable for two-up riding and is a good city bike, but it will not be able to match the Triumph's performance advantage. 

We would advise you not to go for the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 because it is a rather heavy bike at 240kg, which will not be the best fit on traffic-riddled city roads. Moreover, its stiff rear suspension will be the bigger reason to look elsewhere. If you want a RE 650, we would recommend taking a look at the Royal Enfield Interceptor, as that has more pliant suspension and is also much lighter.

Asked by: Abhishekon Nov 18, 2025

Seeking advice: I’m 6’1”, mid-30s, well built, and want a motorcycle for commuting in Bengaluru (~25 km/day) and weekend pleasure rides (I already own a scooter for errands). I need strong road presence, plush suspension, and a comfortable riding position that handles busted city roads—without going full track monster. What models should I consider?

Since you haven't specified what your budget or your preferred style of motorcycle is, we'll give you a list of diverse options. In the ADV space, you can look at the TVS Apache RTX 300, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, and any of the 250 / KTM 390 Adventure models, depending on the sort of power you want and your budget.  
In the neo-retro space, you can look at the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 models and the Honda CB350 trio at the lower end of the scale, and the Interceptor 650 if you want something bigger.
If you want a sporty naked motorcycle, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 and the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 will fit the bill. Do take exhaustive test rides of all machines you shortlist before putting your money down.

Asked by: Chethan hon Nov 14, 2025

I am 5 ft 11 in tall and currently own a 2018 Dominar 400. I plan to upgrade to a Bear 650 for my daily commute of about 60 km each way to an office on the Outer Ring Road. I am attracted to the Bear 650’s performance but am concerned about maintenance costs. Please advise whether the Bear 650 is the best choice, and suggest other 650 cc bikes with lower maintenance.

We would advise you to look at other options than the Royal Enfield Bear 650 because we found the rear suspension to be very stiff in our time with it. This means that on less-than-perfect city roads, your back will bear the brunt of the bumps, which won't be ideal given your long daily commute.

Instead, we would recommend you look at the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 because it has much better suspension comfort and will have exciting performance while also fitting in your price range. 

If your heart is set on a 650cc bike, then the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is the best bet for city use with its supple suspension, neutral ergonomics and creamy smooth engine. 

Take a test ride and decide before you buy.

Asked by: Pushpen Mondalon Nov 9, 2025

I am 6 feet 3 inches tall. I own and ride a Honda CB 350 H'Ness Anniversary edition, bought in 2022. I love the engine. But I want to upgrade to anything between 500CC to 750CC. May you please recommend a bike in that CC range for city commute and long road trips. Budget between 4 Lakhs - 6.5 Lakhs.

If you want a retro-looking motorcycle, look no further than the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. With its old-school looks, smooth yet punchy engine, reasonable comfort and relatively affordable price tag, it is an option that warrants serious consideration. 

Since you already have a Honda, you can take a look at the NX500, which will be a good option with its refined twin-cylinder engine and comfortable long-distance capability. 

If you are open to the idea of a pre-owned machine, in your budget, you can get a Kawasaki Z650 / Ninja 650 / Versys 650. All three are good both in the city and out on the highway, but the Versys would be our pick because it will be the most adept at tackling Indian roads.

Asked by: Siddarthon Nov 7, 2025

I want to buy a high-bhp Royal Enfield bike. I’m 6'3" tall and love to ride, but 90% of my riding will be in the city of Bengaluru. Which powerful RE bike is the best fit for me?

You can consider one of the bikes from Royal Enfield 650cc, twin-cylinder lineup. Considering that your usage will mainly be in the city, either the Interceptor 650 or the Bear 650 would be a good pick. Take a test ride of both bikes and see which one suits you better.

Asked by: Anurag Sharmaon Nov 1, 2025

I’m planning to upgrade from my Scrambler 400X to a parallel-twin bike. My on-road budget is around ₹7.5 lakh. I prefer a motorcycle with a lower seat height than my current bike and decent ground clearance to handle Indian roads. My primary use is Sunday breakfast rides and one tour every quarter. What options do I have?

If you want a brand-new machine, your options are limited to the pricey but capable and reliable Honda NX500 and the charming-looking and soulful but heavy Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. You could also look at a lightly used pre-owned Kawasaki Versys 650 if you don't mind a second-hand machine. Check for a comprehensive service history from an authorized Kawasaki dealer and a meticulous previous owner.

Asked by: Sankar Udayagirion Oct 31, 2025

I’m looking for a motorcycle for city commuting and touring. I want a classy, understated look and comfortable suspension for Indian roads. I’m 5'9" tall and my budget is ₹3–4.5 lakh. I need a reliable engine I can keep for 8–10 years. Currently I ride a Honda Hornet 160, but it vibrates above 40 km/h (~4,000 rpm). I don’t ride fast — I want to comfortably cruise at 100–120 km/h with minimal vibration. Which bike should I choose?

Keeping all your requirements in mind, the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 will be a good fit for you. Its engine is buttery smooth at highway speeds, its suspension is reasonably comfortable, and it has that neo-retro look you are looking for. 

If you're open to the idea of a pre-owned machine, you could even stretch your budget a tiny bit and get a Triumph Street Twin / Speed Twin 900.
