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 Triumph Thruxton R

Pros

  • Powerful engine 
  • Good braking
  • Excellent suspension

Cons

  • Needs better gearbox
  • Uncomfortable 
  • Limited service network

Verdict

The Triumph Thruxton R looks great, sounds great and it's so much fun to ride. Practicality and trackside bragging rights about power output figures may well take a back seat because the clean café racer lines and a decent list of features, coupled with a delightful engine make this a beautiful motorcycle worthy of your garage. The steep asking price maybe a problem and the availability as well.
