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.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS Launched At Rs 161 lakh

Rumours of an ABS-equipped Royal Enfield have been doing rounds for quite some time with many stating that the entire range would get only single-channel ABS, barring the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the upcoming Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 .

The instrument cluster now features a low fuel light and an ABS light instead of the ammeter that's offered on the standard Classic 350. The serial...

Kawasaki W800 Street Five Things To Know

Kawasaki has launched its neo-retro W800 Street in India at Rs 7.99 lakh. This is the second retro bike in Kawasaki’s India lineup after the Z900RS. However, the W800 Street offers quite a different ride experience when compared to the Z900RS . Here are five things you need to know about the retro roadster. It has heritage: The W800 Street pays homage to the 1966 Kawasaki W1. This bike had the distinction of having the largest displacement motor of any Japanese bike of that era: a 650cc parallel twin. The W series became known as Kawasaki’s performance lineup and went on to deliver more iconic models like the Kawasaki Z1 and more recently, the Ninja H2 . Simple mechanicals: Unlike the Kawasaki Z900RS, the W800 Street offers a more simplistic experience. It has simple underpinnings in the form of a double-cradle frame, a 41mm conventional telescopic fork and dual shock absorbers. You also get 18-inch spoke aluminium wheels with narrow section 100/90-18 front and ...
