Nate, Mark, et al.

Hard to believe that your INT650 is the same as the Interceptor 650
(called the Interceptor INT650) in Australia!

[diesel_mercedes] Royal Enfield INT650 Retro

 


Thanx Mark ! .

That's a good looking and great sounding bike, I'm sure the EFI makes it run far better increased fuel economy and all that .

The six speed tranny sound nice too although I wonder if it is because it needs it , 47 horsepower should be plenty .

I still have my battered 2000 Kawasaki W650, I'd love to get it running again .

? do you have any ideas why the piston melted ? . high speed runs on foo-foo gas perhaps ? . I know supposedly you can run regular in anything but I no longer use it in any thing because the difference in running even in a CT90 is palpable and it degrades so quickly .

My current daily ride is the Brazilian made 1984 Honda CB125S (e) ~ it's a tiddler and so doesn't beat my broken back, neck and forearm to death .

I managed to melt down the right piston on my '72 CB450 last month.  (ZOIKS!)  The '69 BSA Rocket 3 has held up without complaint, though it's using too much oil.  I suspect it needs a liner and piston/ring job....

Years ago, I was asked, "If you could buy any new car made, price be damned, what would you get?"  I replied that I couldn't think of one, but there was probably a motorcycle out there that I would consider.  More recently, I learned of the Royal Enfield INT650.  If I should ever buy a new... anything (it would be my first, ever), it's probably on this page:
