I am confused about the upcoming 2027 royal Enfield interceptor <br>There will be any changes in the interceptor 650 <br>What should I buy, bear or interceptor 🤔

It's honestly criminal that Royal Enfield is shipping the Bear 650 with tubed tires with no option to get a centre stand. A simple puncture can be disastrous on this bike

Just buy a new Triumph T120, it'll satiate all your lusts for classics and moderns ❤

Surely RE can start fitting the new better brakes and shocks to the Interceptor, change the footrest design to allow for adjustment for different riders, and fit the Bear style seat ( along with the up-tilting rear frame rails ( at last ! ). The Interceptor and Bear performance can both be enhanced by various mods so the Bear's slight torque advantage is hardly an issue. Weight wise its best to just swap out the Interceptor's armour plated silencers and double-skin headers - that makes a massive difference to the weight and feel. A lithium battery also takes out another 3 kg high up. My personal preference is twin clocks but the Bear's clock is higher up and actually facing more towards the rider's vision - which is surely a safety feature !

I am thinking to buy Bear 650 , tell me which is good interceptor or bear
@ZachariahDeMario · 3 weeks ago (edited)
I bought a Bear and I would struggle to find reason enough own both a Interceptor and a Bear unless you're focusing the Bear to be more of an off-road bike which, at that price point, there are better options. So they are too similar to me. However, I do also own a Continental 650 GT. It's different enough to give one a unique riding experience over the other.

As someone who is brand new to riding at 60 years of age and hasn't a dyi bone in my body when it comes to engine repair/maintenance, I just want a bike that is going to give me the least amount of hiccups and will require the least amount of shop time other than for routine services. This is why I find Royal Enfield so appealing. No finicky electronics or massive liquid cooling radiators and water pumps to worry about. No fiberglass or plastic bits enshrouding them from front to rear. Just a beauty with classic lines and styling that screams "Here I am boys, just out of bed, no make up on or hair done up and I'm gorgeous!". And she is!!! Lol.

Aunque la Bear es muy bonita para mi tiene el mismo problema, la altura al suelo. Descarte esa moto por su altura y me quedé con la interceptor650 que para mi 1.70cm también es demasiado alta, comparada con una Guzzi V7 o triumph street, pero que tienen el inconveniente del precio. Pero estoy encantado con la interceptor650.

I don't like the blacked out engine
