I have had my Sportster for 25 years and 400,000 miles on the original engine and 37 back tires and 17 front ones and 3 belts in 25 years. I have had my Triumph Tr-6 with a hard tail and magneto for 40 years. Vintage British motorcycles are rebuidable forever. Reliable and dependable transportation if maintained properly. No electronics waiting to have a expensive failure. Today's motorcycles are a collection of government regulations on 2 wheels.
Important is the feeling a motorcycle gives to its rider and not what anyone else thinks the owner should be riding.
Yes you are absolutly Right about that.
Some people still care about what other people think a Little Bit Deep down. Thats why i made the Video about the interceptor ☺️
Now I don't have to say it! Thank you!
I bought mine because:
1. It looks a hell of a lot better than most of the de-mechanized crap being manufactured today.
2. It's a new bike that's easy to wrench on, if needed.
3. Owners rave about them (deservedly).
4. It's the prototypical "slow bike that's fun to ride fast."
5. I was facing some health challenges and I needed a lighter bike.
6. The price.
7. Did I mention looks?
Bottom line, the RE INT 650 is a bargain. You're getting a heck of a lot of bike for the price. IMO, they beat Triumph at their own game by coming in with a bike that's 80% of a Bonne T100 at 60% of the price.
Especially point 4 is very true all in all I agree ☺️
I look at it a little differently. I don't buy bikes to make me cool. I buy bikes that I think are cool as a thanks to their designers. Today, what I like makes me the antithesis of cool. To be cool today, everything must be painted black, gray or some dreary combination of the two. I still like clean engine designs (free of all the hoses and wire bundles), shiny paint, and chrome. I don't give two shits about power specs. If I'm comfortable on it, can go around corners at decent speeds without dragging the frame, and it will pass traffic on a highway, I'm good.
That said, I had a young girl give me a thumbs up at a light the other day while on my Thruxton. That made me feel kinda cool as usually only other old men notice and wax nostalgic over the version of it they had 50 yrs ago.
That Sounds like a really nice experiance. The thruxton is a very beautiful bike I wanted one when I started riding at first
650 int is a great motorcycle, with a ton of style!
Absolutly agree
I completely agree. I rode it.
Great topic. Having a bike means that people will have different perceptions. The main thing is what you feel, want and think. :)
glad to see your channel growing eventually... Keep it going!
Thank you so mutch for this comment it is sutch a fight to grow this Channel, finally it’s moving a bit ☺️. I hope I can reach the 10k soon☺️
Ich drücke die Daumen!!!
hi man, very cool channel, I appreciate your honest and no bullshit approach to motorcycles and traveling.
I have a question for you since you are among few people that has ridden both the interceptor and the himalayan (ok, scram,but it is a same engine).
I have a himalayan for a few years now,first bike and all,and i learned about myself in that time that i rearly go off road,and that i like to travel alot,avoiding highways if possible,becouse they are boring.
I'm in love with Interceptor from the first time i saw it,and was thinking,after 3 years,it is time to move to something with more power and more road orianted. I'm 169 cm tall,and can flathfoot both of these bike, i'm not a speed lover,more of a cruise easy kinda person.
So I would be so happy if you could,in a few words, state your opinnion about that transition, about how they feal and handle, how does weight feel, etc..
Himalayan was a great first bike, comfortable and easy to ride,and easy to learn to ride,but i'm starting to wish for a just a little bith more power (and that classic roadster style)
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work
The interceptor definitly has enough power and you can also comptably Cruise on it, it alao feels light Even tho its above 200kg if you like road riding more I soûls say go for it.
I would go for thé blacked out one as thé crome Even tho its beautiful can be a pain in the ass
@@FreeMilesMC Thank you
So,like himalayan, the mass is down low... that is a great thing 👍
I'll think about the colors... I know that crome and polished alluminium need constant care...
Thanks for the answers
Love your vids!!!
Thank you, that is amazing to hear ☺️
At 79 years old, I am beyond being cool, even if it was possible. My INT650 is not a fake motorcycle. It stands as a complete and well thought out machine in its own right. Some say it looks old. I actually think it looks like a new bike should. It gets almost more attention than I want. It's simple, easy to maintain, and has a genuine mechanical soul that makes it a pleasure to ride. Just ditch the notion of coolness, it's a colossal waste of thinking. Get over it and enjoy the ride. Happy Travels.
Great video , people like honesty! Great bike and a great life style, well done you 🤘
Thank you, currently working on another honesty focused motorcycle video
For me, Royal Enfield is an absolute underdog brand that knows its stuff. I used to drive a lot of US classic cars because I liked the charm, the sound and the screwing. They were never perfect but always had a soul. I found the same thing with Royal Enfield motorcycles. Never perfect but always with soul and charm. Certain other motorcycle brands are too biased for me, such as Harley Davison, KTM or BMW GS. With RE you jump out of the mainstream and celebrate independence. No super high tech that will give you a headache, just simple, solid technology that works and is also affordable. If I were to go on a trip around the world, the only option for me would be a RE, just because you can repair it yourself and that brings trust. Speed only plays a minor role outside of Germany anyway, so performance is not as important as reliability. RE has managed to offer its products into this gap and has been very successful.
*Royal Enfield Global Sales are skyrocketing. In 2023 sales improved ahead any expectations reaching a new record of 0.92 million (+16.2%)
I also thing the 650 engine has enough power for most riding styles
The wooden spoon as microphone really sell the points you make during the video ngl
Yep very true, good video happy days 😎😎😎
Interesting what you say about Cosplay motorcycles. I'm old enough to remember when nearly all motorcycles looked like the Interceptor, and some of us believe bikes took an unfortunate turn with machines like the Suzuki Katana. That isn't to say that the Katana is not an interesting bike in its own right, but it represents a change from organic shapes and compound curves, to sharp edges and triangles, which every subsequent motorcycle adopted. Bikes came to be judged on their efficiency, low wind resistance dictated the front and side profile, and brake horse power and newton metres became a metric of absolute merit. Outside western markets different principles applied, automatic scooters and simple thumpers had traction where bikes were not lifestyle accessories to be ridden on summer Sundays and traded every two years. It's less Cosplay than the rediscovery of a parallel design universe that had been running in tandem all along.
I think this probably also comes from 2 diffrent Perspektives on these motorcycles. My perspective is probably also influenced by the fact that bikes that look like the interceptor were modern more than 30 years before I was born so that’s probably why I missed that perspective in my video. A very interesting point, thank you☺️
Never thought of it that way b4 but yes style-wise katana was maybe first “Japanese” bike.
@@collyernicholasjohn Japanese as in Manga, certainly. Sports motorcycles look like comic versions of what a sports motorcycle should be (frowning front profile, carved wedge shapes having little relationship to each other, tail as far as possible from the rear wheel), and the industry is in a feedback loop they can't get out of because that's what the market now demands.
I love der Kochlöffel !
People really seem to appreciate it ☺️
Daumen hoch für den Kochlöffel!
Kochloffel forever 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Ich hoffe es ist okay eine Frage auf Deutsch zu stellen: ich habe meine Interceptor seit 3 Jahren und bisher in meiner Region Marburg/Hessen niemanden gefunden, um gemeinsam mal "eine Runde zu fahren". Es gibt in der Gegend einen Motorradclub aber da ist der Altersdurchschnitt ca. 55 Jahre und alle fahren ne 1200er GS oder größer; mit diesen auch entsprechend schnell. Ich bin paar mal mitgefahren aber das war für mich sehr stressig mit denen mitzuhalten... Hast du eine Idee/Rat?
Ich kenne das problem was du beschreibst, Motorrad fahren ist ein Hobby was immer weniger junge Menschen machen. Es gibt um große Städte oft WhatsApp Gruppen die sich über Instagram finden. Ist aber oft ein wenig schwierig da reinzukommen. Es gibt in jeder großen Stadt Orte wo sich oft zufällig junge Motorrad Fahrer sammeln vielleicht entdeckst du ja sowas und kannst da Leute finden.
Ich hab über 2 Jahre gebraucht um wen in meinem Alter zu finden der auch Motorrad fährt
@@FreeMilesMC Ja, ich will einfach bissl entspannt cruisen...und mit den 48PS kann UND will ich auch nicht mit einer 1250 GS mithalten. Ich hab schon diverse Foren be- und versucht und nach 3 Jahren so langsam ratlos. Mein Schwager fährt auch und das macht mir Spaß aber der wohnt 300km entfernt und das ist halt keine Distanz für ne "Feierabendrunde". Eine Frage die ich noch an dich hätte... nimmst du bei solchen Events wie Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, Fellows Ride o.ä. teil? =)
Hey, ich mag deine Videos wirklich gern! Als Tipp für mehr Viewer und follower würde ich dir raten bei deinen Videos mit dir im Vordergrund mehr auf SCHÖNE Hintergründe zu achten und vielleicht doch zu überlegen deine Videos auf Deutsch zu machen - oder, falls nicht zu aufwändig, wie M Jambo Segelvideos, der erst deutsche Videos veröffentlicht und dann das selbe nochmal in Englisch! Ich gucke viele Motorrad Vlogger wie dich und die meissten sind englisch (aus Neuseeland MotoFeelz oder rob hamilton), du machst es als Deutscher am interessantesten, solltest aber genau deshalb mal die Möglichkeiten der Nische Deutsch überdenken! Wie auch immer - no Front 😂 👍👍👍👍👍 VG Stephan
Vielen Dank für all die lieben Worte ja mehr schöne Hintergründe ist ne gute Idee war bei dem Video besonders eher so mittel.
Tatsächlich die Videos ebenfalls auf deutsch zu machen wäre recht aufwändig und würde leider dem Kanal eher schaden aufgrund wie der Algorithmus funktioniert. Aber an sich wen der Kanal mal super groß werden sollte würde ein deutscher, französischer und spanischer zweitkanal tatsächlich vielleicht Sinn machen
Vielen Dank das du meinst das ich das am interessantesten mache das ist sehr lieb ☺️
Is it illegal to carry a surfboard on a motorbike where you are? I've carried 2x4s(6) boxed cases of beer(3)& frozen turkeys (2)for Thanksgiving, all legally in CA, 'Murca....
Here in Germany is a theoretically legal but most likely the police will tell you that it is legal so kind of a maybe😬
Der Kochlöffel in Kombination mit serious business talk macht mich feddich xD
Der kochloffel hat viele Fans bekommen☺️

I prefer your vintage Yamaha and don't care about what people thinking about your bike.
Thats Right, aslong as i can Ride i am happy ☺️
Totally guilty 👋
No, no, no, ya ride because ya can't afford a car & then ya realize how much fun it is & how cool, (ok, I admit) it makes ya feel, but never how ya look, 'cuz ya look like chopped meat before the accident & everyone knows it's a matter of when, not if....
Royal Enfield and Harley Davidson reminds me of the 1837 fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen called The Emperor's New Clothes. These are poorly engineered motorcycles with very low power for their engine size. Everyone sees these facts but pretends otherwise to avoid being thought of as a fool.
I would not say they are poorly engineered, with Harley for the price probably but I think with three pricetag on the used market the newer Enfields are alright
Big Twins have a lot of mechanical issues, the Sportster is the best reliable and dependable transportation.
@@FreeMilesMC I believe I'm correct in stating the 650 Interceptor requires valve inspection every 10,000 km whereas my 750 Hornet requires this at 24,000 km. I suggest that's down to engineering.
@@mrcintheuk4641 It's a different approach to motorcycle ownership. In Royal Enfield's home market, bikes are expected to survive home maintenance, a certain neglect, low quality lubricants and fuels, and still last for many years. So maintenance regimes are conservative to accommodate the motorcycle as a workhorse, not a show pony. In the west, most people take their bike to a professional service agent, who has special tools required to access its complexities and update the bike's software, and charge accordingly. Two different world views about what a bike is, and our relationship with it.
