Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Best Colours To Choose From

Watch Video Review

The much anticipated 650cc twins from Royal Enfield have finally been launched internationally, and are expected to enter the Indian market in the next couple of months. From the first impressions, the bikes seem to have delivered in spades and we cannot wait to get out hands on them for a through road test review. And we’re sure many of you have already saved up enough cash to get one for yourself once launched in India.
That said, the various colour options available for the Interceptor 650 might put you in a quandary. So, just to make things simpler, we’ve listed down all the colour options available for the Interceptor, and our pick of the lot. The bike is available in Mark Three (Black), Glitter & Dust (Chrome), Orange Crush, Ravishing Red, Silver Spectre and Baker Express (White and Red).

Let’s start off with Ravishing Red since it’s one of the first colours that was showcased at EICMA 2017 alongside Orange Crush. The use of contrast colours brings back the essence from the 60’s and looks sporty; however, it's a little too loud for our taste.

The Glitter & Dust colour option is sure to grab attention wherever you go. But although an interesting colour scheme, the chrome on the tank might be a fingerprint magnet, and we’d most definitely stay away from that. If you like to keep you ride spick and span like most bike lovers do, it’ll be a pain having to clean the tank every now and then. Also, given that chrome behaves a lot like a mirror, the reflection from the sun might blind you or other riders depending on the direction of the sun.

Mark Three, which is a plain black colour, contrasts well with the mechanicals, but it isn’t interesting enough to earn a second glance. It's a similar story with the Silver Spectre. Having said that, if you’re into minimalistic design with plain solid colours, they aren’t bad options.

So, that narrows it down to Orange Crush and Baker Red.

Which one would we pick? If we were to choose, we’d go for either one of the two as both are proper head turners. The Baker Express is reminiscent of the Triumph T120 Bonneville colour scheme from the late 50’s, which was quite a vibrant colour back then. The one on the Interceptor, though, gets a modern touch and gels pretty well with the neo-retro theme. While we’ve seen a lot of the Orange Crush colour option, it still haven’t gotten boring and will surely make you stand out of the crowd -- especially since there are very few bikes in the market that can pull off this colour.

We got to ride this new and more offroad-focused Scrambler in India and here are our views about it with detailed images. Also read: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC: First Ride Review While every other bike manufacturer seems to be coming up with its own vision of what a neo-retro scrambler should look like, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC has stuck to its guns by staying as close to the original British scramblers of yore as possible.

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike. For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX. It is likely to feature a traditional front fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends with ABS as standard. For an added retro appeal, expect it to use spoke wheels with tubed
