Greetings from the mountains of southern California. Everything you say is true to my experience of over 37,000 miles since 2019 but ... I think the fuel gauge is reasonably accurate once riding for just under a minute. Mine flashes a warning with at least 2-3 liters left. I think that's a very good thing. At 36k miles my speedometer cable cracked from flexing. This is my only (ONLY) breakdown. I say this is excellent quality overall
NIce one, I have had INT for 4 plus years now, agree with most of your points, Yes it does heat up, thank God I didnt have the wobbling problem but most others do, I did change the seat else cant tour, closing on 1lakh KM, couldnt be happier :) Cheers
4+ plus years! Wow! Glad you could relate to the video as an actual owner for such a long period. Hope to see you again on the channel! Ride safe & do subscribe and share! :)
My points of corncern are. 1 The shimmy in the rear…this can be fixed by getting good tires, like Bridgestone BT46, The fuel pump is cooled by the Fuel- NEVER run out or you risk burning it out, and the gearbox issue for the 2021 and 2022. If you’re getting low on your warranty perhaps see if they can check it because if it goes, it’s very expensive to fix. These two years have incorrectly hardened gear parts causing a catastrophic failure. You will know if it is going to happen to you because you will get false neutrals between 5th and 6th…when it happens you will lose third (dogtooth issue) and bits of gears will go everywhere in the bike (should have been a recall but RE are hoping it goes away or the warranty expires). Lastly, if you ever get an engine warning light on, especially if you run out of fuel and overheat the fuel pump, turn the bike on and off 5 times. If it was just a warning that will reset the engine warning light….if it was a true fault it will just come on again.
As a newbie youtuber, I appreciate you for the effort. It did put things in perspective to an extent.But, going forward if you try to give a standard for the data that your actually basing yours cons upon that would make it more of an informative and helpful video.
My Interceptor... in Ravishing Red ! is a excellent machine... perfect ? No... I fully agree it's a bit hefty in the parking lot, but it fades away once on the road.. I simply tell others it's the 650 all other manufactures wanted to build in the pass 70 years. :)
Glad you found my video useful bro! Before completely disregarding the bike I would recommend you to go and test ride it! Also Do subscribe if you haven't already! :)
Can you tell us what is your height and if a 5 Ft 6 rider can handle its weight specially with a really hot engine sticking out and with the awkward positioning of the footpegs
How about a chain driven oil pump? One guy made a video about his seizing his engine so bad it couldn't be taken apart. RE gave him a new motor. They should have given him a new one and let him keep the old one for parts. Gear drive Oil pump on my 60 year old Triumphs TR-6 works fine. I doubt any RE 650 will still be running in 60 years.

Worst thing about int and gt is the soft suspension.. front forks are worst.. going to put adjustable suspension soon on my Gt650

I really liked the way you set the stage for the review

Thank you. These are deal breakers. Especially the peg placement

Wobble issues are with all the bikes in RE...it's because of the handle placement more on the right side
thanks for the video it was great to to watch ❤❤❤❤❤
Change tires thats gonna slove wobble soft compound tires with 200+ kg motorcycle obviously will get wobble issue
Noted my friend! Thank you!
some says reise moto tyres fix it .
The Interceptor is 220kgs? 😲
It's 202 kgs right?
with fuel
@@nitc9242 by that logic isn't the TB 500 also about that much with fuel?
yeah. we can say that
100% correct
Go for new model (2023).....most of issues has been resolved as i see.
wobbling issue ? I do not think engine heat up and foot peg position are fixed .
Bro polish ur engine see how the engine is dull not looking attractive
there r much more issues than that dude
Might be buddy! But these are some of the issues which I faced with this particular bike! :)
Royal Issues
