Please do a long term review on any BENELLI ( preferably imperiale or leoncino 500). Everybody says that maintenance cost is high...so would be appreciated if you do a video on exactly how much it costs.
Mohd Jassir oh if that is the case why is Yamaha R3 which is a 4L bike maintenance cost is low... There are several reasons.. one being non localised parts and unusual maintenance... Benelli changes synthetic oil once in 4000 kms which is unusual because you can use synthetic oil upto 10k kms... Not sure why they do that but your argument of “paying more maintenance for 3L bike” is definitely invalid...
Hey, if you're planning to get one, go for it. True value for money bike. Comparatively less vibration, good service and ecoomical as well. And has a good cursing speed, btw we own one.
The oxidation is easily avoidable. This bike can still look great, even in places like the northern US states and the UK. Just keep it clean and use waxes and protectorants. Simple! But it was great to see that if it was basically ignored, it did rather well. Any idea if the footpeg problems - front and rear - will get any attention from the factory? Pillions are not happy on the Int. Thanks for the review!
I really appreciate these long term reviews. Almost all channels just review the bikes during their launch and then just forget about them. Nothing about long term durability and problems
This long term review and certain mods performance and COL with bike does gi es the exact review for any person while thinking of buying a bike or car. Cheers!
Would be great to see longlively updates how these 650ies bikes hold. (20k, 50k, 100k, 150k km) since they are fairly new. Something like a french magazine did with yhe cb500 pc32 years ago. Too bad you had to send it back.
Thank you! I've been looking for a motorcycle I can put a sidecar on and this may be it. I found a sidecar dealer here in the USA that has mounting kits for the RE Interceptor so no cutting, drilling, or welding required. I'm old so I need that third wheel to keep riding 😁. I was worried about long term reliability so you answered my questions about that. I wish RE would offer one without any chrome and all blacked out like the new Honda Rebel 1100 but that bike is not suitable for use with a sidecar.
I have been watching Autocar videos for all kind of review. Basis on the Autocar review I have bought Tata Nexon and RE Intercepter 650 in line ... May be I will get it by mid Fab ... I found this video very informative about the product .... Great Job Done
I would be glad to hear about electrical components of the bike being reviewed. These days more than half of a motorcycle's mechanics requires the aid of a battery, that's why I request you guys to it a few pointers on that.
A great report on the 650, I really appreciate you showing all of the good and bad points. Have you considered a review of the Royal Enfield Himalayan? Thanks again for your review
You can also start with bikes made for the masses, such as Radeon, Splendor i3s, Platina, Dream Neo... etc. These are going to be the bread and butter of the sales chart.
Initially I have come across reviews pointing out couple of negative things about interceptor, however after using it for one year my experience is very good but I don't like it's suspension.
Good segment to start with. Would like to see long term reviews of Suzuki Access 125 & Burgman Street. Also, a review for the Dominar 400 will be appreciated too.
I bought a new interceptor in september 2019. I liked the bike really. Still I think Royal Enfield has annoying problem with gearbox. Even after 300 km and after first inspection 500 km. I am facing difficulty with gear change. So , for this money, a quite good bike. İmprovement in gearbox necessary.
Those foot pegs ! They got a special mention in every review :) I hope RE design team will take care of it in future updates. Rest are routine issues, part of every moving machinery.
It wobbles after 160 on interceptor 650 .what to do.. Didn't do earlier...stock pirelli tyres.. Alignment? Weight reduction? Air in tyre?...what's the issue..
Great segment. Long term reviews tell you what its really like living with the bike. In future videos, could you also add info on service frequency required if regular weekend rides are assumed. Most common part replacements required in 15k, 20k or 25k kms depending on the motorcycle.
Great review, very informative. I'd like one but they're not quite fast enough for me, do they, be honest now, make up for it in the fun stakes? It did look a bit tatty on the casings after the monsoon. Is is due purely to the water or do you thunk road dirt contributed? Here in England we, obviously, don't have monsoons but we do get a lot of rain. And there's lots of dirt too!
Is it necessary to opt for buffing and polishing? Because I have to give my bike for the second service in another 2 months and I dont see any need to opt for buffing and polish.
Really appreciate this new segment "Long Term Review" 👏👏👍
Yeahhhh🙌🙌🙌
*long term ownership review is the real and practical review of any motorcycles*
Appreciated work keep it up
Finally you guys started doing this segment, thank you. Do for cars too.

I own an Interceptor too. 5300 kms done and so far it had been great. Had minor issues with the fuel meter. Got it fixed for free anyway.
Akshay K Shaji yes my interceptors fuel meter is inaccurate too
How did you get it fixed? Mine has this issue too

Long term review on R15 v3
I wouldn't bother about rusting or losing chrome parts shine as it is a common thing in Mumbai's environment.
Initially I have come across reviews pointing out couple of negative things about interceptor, however after using it for one year my experience is very good but I don't like it's suspension.
The dominar UG 2019
Good segment to start with. Would like to see long term reviews of Suzuki Access 125 & Burgman Street. Also, a review for the Dominar 400 will be appreciated too.

Mine is 8000k running. And I get noice from both front and back shock absorber and damper on a bad surface.
real review for real people
Please do long term video on Royal Enfield GT Twin 650 also
We need a long term review about the continental gt 650
It will be similar.
Any long term video on Thunderbird 350x
Within 1 season it got this much rust...???
🥺🥺🥺
aditya singh Mumbai weather :)
@@AlizasKitchenrecipes and I guess without salted roads ? In northern Europe or US/Canada this will turn into a rustbucked in two seasons ...
What do you expect from Metal?
@@jatinrawat9816 not just metal there is quality too but its an royal Enfield so we can expect this much for this price
If it rusts that much in India, imagine a British winter.
Those foot pegs !
They got a special mention in every review :)
I hope RE design team will take care of it in future updates.
Rest are routine issues, part of every moving machinery.
I think it's ok. Always put your foot in front of those pegs and you won't have any problem.
good review...next should be continental gt 650 and please update on drive comfort after a long drive.
Is the seat enough comfortable for pillion for long drive? and what are the options for conformable seats?
This bike has put the ghost of the legendry Yamaha RD350 to RIP!
Appreciate Autocar to come up with a long term video like this!!
Duke 390 had done that in 2013.
One similar review of cb300r🙏🙏🙏
Was that rust on the engine @0:48?
Yes. He mentioned that it was rust genius.
@@neerajwaghmare7714 thank you. May be I missed in the subtitles coz i cannot hear the audio 😃. But thanks for pointing.
Can you do a long term test on royal Enfield classic 350 and Himalayan
Really appreciate want more!!
Please do a long term review of RE Continental GT 650 too
They are pretty much same
kindly honestly make a new video on bs6 interceptor 650
It wobbles after 160 on interceptor 650 .what to do.. Didn't do earlier...stock pirelli tyres..
Alignment? Weight reduction? Air in tyre?...what's the issue..
The break pads for interceptor are for 180/- only.
Hi Team,
It's a very good start..please consider RE Himalayan too.
Long term review of 310gs would be great
Plz make a long term review of Jawa 42...
How was seat comfort? It doesn't look wide enough to be very comfortable
Great segment. Long term reviews tell you what its really like living with the bike.
In future videos, could you also add info on service frequency required if regular weekend rides are assumed. Most common part replacements required in 15k, 20k or 25k kms depending on the motorcycle.
How is the seating comfort ?
It will be pleasure if you drop same video for apache RR310..
It’s Nice series of videos...
Please make a long term on Hornet 160R
A lot of people talk about the uncomfortable seat. What was your opinion on that
Thanks for the review @autocarindiA
I would like to have the long term review of street twin n speed twin.
Continental gt 650 long term review video please. Btw... liked this one... thanks🙂
Do long term review on RE classic 350
Great review, very informative. I'd like one but they're not quite fast enough for me, do they, be honest now, make up for it in the fun stakes?
It did look a bit tatty on the casings after the monsoon. Is is due purely to the water or do you thunk road dirt contributed?
Here in England we, obviously, don't have monsoons but we do get a lot of rain.
And there's lots of dirt too!
Do you notice any drop in oil level after installing the air filter??
Did you faced Any Problem With Seating For Long Rides ? as It Has Short Seat for The Rider .
With those silencers positioned that way, wouldn't that pose a risk of pillion getting burnt?
Do the long term review of Dominar 400 please
Can we install a thicker rear tyre on the Interceptor ? At least 150mm thick ?
Do more of these
Long term Video on Jawa....pls
Is it necessary to opt for buffing and polishing? Because I have to give my bike for the second service in another 2 months and I dont see any need to opt for buffing and polish.
Please do the review of royalEnfield himalayan BS6. Waiting for ur review
I want to know about the braking of this bike? How it is?
Has there been any issues with fine vibrations from the handle bar at higher rpms which causes hand numbness. I'm facing such an issue.
Is there any solutions for both footpegs??
Do a video on continental gt also
How good is for tall riders, I am 6.2 and foot rest is bit sporty. Is there any mods where we can push the foot rest forward like classic 350.
