" I was wasting my time watching motorbikes tear up the hill all day, when the best bike in the world was sat here all along!”, remarked a spectator at Shelsley Walsh, before going on to ask a dozen questions about Royal Enfield's new Interceptor 650. You see, you just can't go anywhere without the Interceptor drawing a crowd. Petrol stations, cafés, local shops, even stopped at traffic lights, it'll be charming anyone who so much as even glances at it.”

"Designed to appear as a classic but with refined, stylish, minimalist lines, the Interceptor offers easy and manageable motorcycling with appeal to A2-licence holders. With the expected price tag in mind (for now), on offer is a classy ride from a cracking chassis coupled with an engine that’s smooth, receptive and beautifully fuelled, the Royal Enfield resurgence led by the two 650 twin cylinder bikes is firmly underway."
