The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 has earned a name for itself across the world for its retro looks, powerful engine, enjoyable rideability as well as reasonable price and great mod potential. Along with its twin, the Continental GT 650, the Interceptor has become the favourite bike among modifiers of late. The Interceptor 650 is doing well in terms of sales too and has left the competition behind in the dust. We have already seen a lot of good examples of modified Interceptor 650 of late and joining the list is this brat theme inspired custom bike. Take a look at the video below by INDIAN MODIFIED BIKES to check out how the bike looks like.
As seen in the video, the bike has not been extensively modified or transformed into a different style bike. Rather, it retains the look of the stock Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 but looks much cooler due to the brat inspired design elements. The headlight is a full LED unit now and gets a matte black powder coated ring around it along with a CNC headlight bracket. The indicators on both the ends have been replaced by cool looking blacked out units. The handlebar too has been replaced with an aftermarket unit and features bar end mounted mirrors along with custom grips.
The instrument cluster has been updated with a custom cover around it giving it a premium look. Another noteworthy bit here is the leather tank strap that runs across the length of the tank and adds to the overall beauty of the vehicle. This is followed by a customised flat seat which gives the bike a true brat look. The footrests, oil case cap and a few other bits have also been replaced with customised parts along with the addition of frame sliders and fork gaiters. Talking about the mechanical changes on this bike, it gets an air fork valve, Adelin hydraulic clutch and brakes, Power Flow exhaust system, YSS rear shock absorbers among others.
In its stock form, the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 gets powered by a 647 cc, twin cylinder, air-oil cooled engine which is a newly developed unit. This engine churns out 47 Bhp of power along with 52 Nm of torque, which makes this the most powerful Royal Enfield engine ever. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox along with a slipper clutch. Both the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650 are the most powerful and advanced bike from the company yet. The double cradle chassis upon which the bikes are built has been designed with inputs from Harris Performance, UK. Prices for the Interceptor 650 starts at Rs. 2.50 lakh and goes up to Rs. 2.70 lakh (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi). The difference in price is only because of the paint scheme as the bikes are identical mechanically.
