I bought my 2020 Interceptor for its simplicity and ease of maintenance. In the days of manufacturers loading bikes up with electronics and features I'll never use or want its refreshing to buy a classic motorbike with just the basics. Good review by the way.
I will be buying this baby next month! wife gave me the green light ;) not had a bike in 10 years and can't wait! watched hundreds of reviews and almost all have been positive. Thanks for this reviews, now subbed.
The deciding factor in my purchase of a 2020 Interceptor.... besides the great look, excellent performance for a 650cc engine, was the price .... out the door, $5300.oo plus tax and license... our dealer didn't do the added freight, crate fees at that time. I did the seat upgrade, Cravin saddle bags from the UK... color matched... The 1000's $ I saved from a Triumph purchase will fund my adventures, basic maintenance on the RE for years.... The new 650 Meteor on the show floor with saddle bags.. as of yesterday.. is $9200.oo which would give me a pause for thought about just stepping up to the Triumph... 😎
He's back! Man I can't explain how excited I was to see a vid from you and that it is about an Interceptor. This year I've fulfilled my dream, got a full license and bought one of these (blacked out one). This to me is what a bike should look and feel like. Can't wait for more from you! All the best.
@@Willieswheels Yeah, I try to enjoy every sunny day we get these days. It’s exactly as you said… this bike is a trusty companion and can do much more than people think.
Sometimes less is more. End of May somebody reversed into my parked Tuono 660 Factory and wrote it off. Insurance paid out and I bought a Tiger Sport 660 blind as they had no test ride. 3 months on I decided it was far too tall for me but brilliant motor. I traded in and picked up a 14 month old bike with 1200 miles on the clock. I got a Scrambler 900 in black with headlight guard, fly screen, heated grips, LED indicators front and rear, rear seat replaced with rack, triumph single side bag with mount, centre stand, £500 worth of YSS shocks and tail tidy for £8900 😂 Looks and sounds amazing. I love it. I couldn’t have got a decent trade in offer unless I stuck with triumph but the Interceptor is a good bike.
Unlike the Triumph, you need not worry about radiator coolant and coolant pump. The tappet adjustments on the RE are done using a simple screwdriver and spanner. The RE exhausts sweep up and out of the way of accessing the rear axle for chain adjustment. Win, win, win.
I've just sold my T120 which I had owned for just over 2 years. It looked gorgeous and I enjoyed riding it. I wanted a cafe racer style bike so bought a 2 year old 3500 mile Continental GT for £3k 2 months ago. I bought a chrome tank plus some other customisation parts and I absolutely love it's looks and ride. It may be only half the power but the sound and the way it pulls I can really ride it to the full. And I haven't stopped yet where I end up having a conversation with someone.
I’ve had one of these for a few years now. No problems great bike. My only critics is the bikes weight. I fitted a 2 into one exhaust which shedded around 10kg. If you shop around you can pick these bikes up for around £5,500.
long time no seen mate. How are you, I hope you and your family are doing great and are healthy. What are the bikes are you looking for ? what is the best looking RE for you mine is GT 650. Wobbling is suspension issue ? I thought it is lack of sticky tyre. Take Care
It's been a while! Life has been very full on over summer so haven't been able to upload so much until now. We're doing well though, thanks so much for asking!
Nope you're right, I am WOEFULLY behind on editing, but will catch up to date in the next few weeks. So doing a little bit of a time warp in the next few videos!

Thanks so much mate! That’s so kind. Congratulations on passing that’s freaking amazing! Are you riding now?

This is a really good review, enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
He's back! 🔥🔥🔥
Got a LOAD of videos shot over summer to share 😆

Ooh i do LOVE the look of the Continental, I have a search saved on Marketplace if any bargains crop up!

Thanks for sharing! Did the exhausts boost power or anything?
@@Willieswheels I've not had it on a dyno or anything, but I think it picks up a little quicker with the weight loss.
Where are the gloves from?

Did I miss something? I thought you sold the scrambler 6 months ago

Small and nimble are not the adjectives I'd attribute to the interceptor. LoL
Small ? Not the correct adjective here
Nimble is still okay
Top tip, never ever pitch your goose on the sidestand side of your bike. Soft ground and you´re suddenly sleeping with the bike.
