Absolutely fantastic news! Looking at the 650 twins myself this weekend. Motone if your listening, alloy mudguards and side covers for the RE. Cheers and happy riding.
Mine arrived early and its now fitted to the already beautiful red tank. It looks absolutely great, all of the original classic looks and yet infinitely better all round. Very simple to fit, Liam
My SS rack arrives on Tuesday, will be fitted on my 2018 Street twin red tank, should look very nice indeed and will allow me to reminisce about the past Triumphs I have had that had a tank rack. Usefulness and design don't always mix, but in this case they do blend together and add much to the beauty of the bike, Liam
Been deliberating for months to re enter the world of motorcycling after a long pause. Seeing that red delivery van and been following your channel over a long time just placed an order for an Interceptor,have to wait two months here in Sweden but looking forward to doing a bit of tweaking!
Many congratulation Stuart! I'm glad you bought the same bike I own so I'm going to get some good modification tips from ur future videos. To start with, the tank rack lol...
Congratulations on the new edition to you collection and your channel 👍. I look forward to seeing more of it as you transform it into another masterpiece.
Congrats on getting the Enfield Stuart, will look forward to your updates on it. Love that Motone rack, my ‘65 Tiger 90 had one back in the day so got to get one for my T120!
@@hartzogLovesScience Hi Kevin, I think this is a question for Stuart. I haven't bought a Motone one yet, the rack that was on my 1965 T90 was factory fit and screwed directly to the tank.Apologies if I caused any confusion.
Well, that didn't take you long Stuart. Congrats on the Royal Enfield, classic British Heritage delivered in classic British weather. Tank rack was nice too.
Not surprised at all to see the Interceptor arrive at your door Stuart & won't be surprised at all if a few Motone custom parts that were originally designed for Triumphs don't actually bolt straight on or are fitted with just a little fettling. Just got to get some storage space sorted & feel my order won't be far off. Look forward to future features on this bike.
T120 owner here. I have been looking at the Interceptor over the last few months and I see what tempted you. I wouldn't mind having it as my other bike. It ticks a lot of boxes especially here in Thailand where there are many small custom companies that are really good. Look forward to your content on the Interceptor Stuart.
Great choice! I'm tempted to put down my deposit soon, before I complete my A2. Love this bike in the red and black. Will keep you posted and really looking forward to future vids on the Interceptor!
After 3 in the stable you need an assistant. My favorite will most likely always be the 120 black however I do fancy the Royal Enfield also. Looking forward to the education. Thank you sir
We've had a lot of rain in the past few days in the UK. Hope it stops soon because I'm testing out a few bikes at the weekend. I'm returning to biking after about 30 years, and Royal Enfield is on the list. Congrats on your new bike Stuart.
Thanks again for your excellent appraisal of this product Stuart, I wanted to get one but was not sure how good or bad them suction cups were, I had visions of it flying off going down the motorway.
@@jimdunne3696 Maybe it's due to a manufacturer having to work out the bugs on the first-year production models? I don't know. I do know some people are touring around the world right now on it.
What's happening? Ha. Love it! Welcome to the RE family. Hope it fits in swimmingly for you. I look forward to hearing more about it. She's a beauty. You're going to need a larger garage soon!
Absolutely love this Motorcycle and have been looking at the colour options for a while...was choosing the right colour for you an easy decision for yourself? Have to admit that I saw lots of Motorcyclists out on the road last Week and this RE in this particular colour stood out so much from the crowd. 👊😎👍
Aftermarket is going to be sparse this first year, then I'm sure it's going to be gangbusters. I really enjoyed your review last week. Very tempting indeed.
I think Triumph stopped fitting the parcel racks after 1968 or around that year. My 66 Triumph has one, I think they look great myself. Very interested in the Interceptor too, there just happens to be Royal Enfield dealer just 4 miles away from where I live. came as a surprise to me, I thought it was just a scooter place.
Hi Stewart,great see your new bike and look forward to see how you get on and the things you are going to put on .Good utub video look forward to Friday paul
Watched your video on the aero racks and the union jack tank pads. I have ordered both and will be sent to India. My question is as follows. I plan to apply the ppf ( paint protection film) on my interceptor orange crush. Would you know if these accessories will stick on to the tank once the ppf is done. Thanks and great job with the videos 👍
Congrats Stuart on the new bike. Would love to test drive one of the 650 REs, but they are pretty rare here in the states. Anyway, I'm looking to add either a Tiger 800 XRx or a BMW F750GS to the my T120. BTW, I owe much of my decision to get the T120 to your videos. Just passed 5000 miles and just love my Bonnie. So thank you very much...indeed!
Hahaha! I knew you wouldn't be able to resist an Interceptor, well done!. I'm planning to get a Classic to keep the Monster company and scratch my retro itch.
Hello Stuart, totally off the subject of this video, and I have seen many of yours in the process of upgrading my '23 Interceptor....my concern is with the EVAP system and it's potential to become clogged, therefore hindering performance. I'm in the US, in Oregon, and California 😢 seems to dictate many requirements for emissions. Do you have any information about this, or a video? I looked for one in your archives, to no avail. If you have a moment, please drop me a line. Thanks, Tod Hale, a fan from the US.
It’s number 7 in the top 10 uk bike sales with not a triumph in sight. Motone customs take note you will miss out if. You don’t make some goodies for it
I knew you were seriously tempted after your test ride. I picked mine up Tuesday afternoon from Sheffield. Rained all day & hasn’t stopped since! Have you seen the UA-cam vids by tech bike parts? They bought one & are making bits for the Interceptor.
Nice addition to your fleet Stewart! Love that color. Could you tell me what the measurement between the suction cups are? Curious if it would straddle the tank strap on my Thruxton r?
Hi Stuart, awesome new bike mate love it.. 😍. I'm looking at changing my bike, growing up i always wanted a T120 and now I've seen these I'm abit stuck. They seem reasonable similar with a big difference in price. What would u recommend?? All the best tom.
Another good video Stuart, love the Aero rack, want to put one on my Street Scrambler, is there any chance you could say what the dimensions are, length and width. I’ve emailed Sam at motone but as of yet he hasn’t got back to me. I’ve got a Kriega bag I want to attach to it. Many thanks.
@@stuartfillingham Thanks Stuart. SInce I am returning to doing my own servicing, its been 30 years since I did it last, I want to make sure I do not muck anything up.
Triumph deleted the "tank rack" following the castration of a rider who went on to sue Triumph for fitting the poorly designed rack, or at least that was the "story" when they started being released without the rack. The riders name was Mr Nostones Jones.
Summer of '68 i bought a real Triumph T120R and rode it all over Canada but as to luggage racks... On a highway west of town a farmer pulled right out onto the road and I ended up running into him. Guess which part of me went over the luggage rack? when I rebuilt I trashed the luggage rack and if i had it I'd mail the bloody thing to you. It was months before any hanky-panky!
@@stuartfillingham want to know your experience on riding the bike ; your pros and cons on being the owner of the RE 650 interceptor when there were other choices. That sort of stuff

The most cheapest triumph is about nearly 10 grand ,the royal enfield interceptor about 7 grand ,ok the horse power of the enfield is nowhere near the horsepower of the triumph ,but really who gives a monkey's, you can only do legally 75 on the motorway so why buy a bike that does more ???,take care on the road
FINALLY an example of someone attaching a bag/anything to the rack 🎉 THANK YOU
