Pros Cons of Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

Pros

  • Beautiful looking motorcycle
  • Smooth, torquey engine
  • Good performance

Cons

  • Vibrations at top end
  • Awkward footpeg positioning
  • Heavy motorcycle

Verdict

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is possibly all the bike you ever need till the time you stick to tarmac. It looks good. The quality of fit and finish is commendable and the performance is solid too. The engine is one of the finest we have seen in recent times, on a middleweight motorcycle. Yes! It has a couple of chinks in its armour, but nothing that could be a deal-breaker. It works wonderfully as a daily ride and will be good company on your occasional highway jaunts too.

Pros Cons Kawasaki Ninja 650

Pros

  • Refined engine
  • Comfortable riding posture
  • Value-friendly

Cons

  • Dated design
  • Slightly heavier
  • Low ground clearance

Verdict

The Ninja 650 may be a middleweight, but it feels like a small bike, and it doesn't have the intake roar or exhaust note associated with a high-performance motorcycle. It feels at ease handling traffic, and is equally comfortable on the highway, if you're in the mood for occasional long-distance touring. If you're looking to upgrade from a smaller bike, or you're new to motorcycling, the Kawasaki Ninja 650 could well be all the bike you need.
