I saw this YouTube video a few days ago on the Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor, and I’ve been meaning to post it here on the ExNotes blog. I think YouTube motorcycle reviews are generally a time suck, but I enjoyed this one. The dude who made it (MotoSlug, a guy I never heard of before) nailed it, I think, with his description of the Enfield, its capabilities, and the riding experience. It’s no BSA, Senator, but it’s still a fun ride. Actually, it’s way better than any BSA I ever rode.
I’m inspired. It’s late afternoon here in So Cal, which is to say it’s hot. When things cool off in a couple of hours, I’m going to fire up my Enfield (that’s it in the photo above) and go for a ride.
Read our story about riding Enfields in Baja here.
The guy does get it… thanks for the link.
“It makes you turn around and take a look every time you park the bike.” Love it! It is a really nice looking bike. IMO, the so called “retro” bikes look far better than the newer styles with all the plastic and funny looking Transformer mirrors. The “retro” bikes look like what a motorcycle is supposed to look like. Thanks for posting the review.
