    We reached out to several dealers across three metro cities- Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore and all on a common note gave the same timeline. Executives at the Delhi based company owned Royal Enfield dealership shared that the motorcycle maker will start with the deliveries in the metro cities first and sooner will take it across India. Though none of the dealers shared exact details about the booking numbers, they said that they have been receiving enquiries for about two months which suddenly spiked from the day of the launch. The dealers have also started with the test-rides of the 650 Twins and in some cases have also provided door-step test rides at the homes or offices of the prospective buyers. They also mentioned that the customers who have taken the test rides were impressed with the refined and smooth cruising nature, especially of the Interceptor 650.
