I test rode a Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor yesterday…nothing like the power of the Bonnie, but for the money it is an appealing package. Review to follow
Mmmm – sounds interesting – how much is one?
Look forward to reading it£5400…here is the review…https://bikemeet.net/forums/topic/royal-enfield-650-interceptor-the-empire-fights-back-review-and-pictures/
I was pleased to see this superb museum has been featured in the UK magazine 'Bike' in this month's edition (July 2019)
Came across this interesting blog about a CB100N taht somebody has just bought….

If the sidestand is the only major gripe then that's not bad at all, although it's something used at least twice EVERY journey. Maybe a £20 welding job would solve it and you'd have the perfect bike?
You're right. I am looking into actually buying on of these, but I need to re-arrange a few things first and have another ride and have a close look at the side stand as to what could be done with it
Very impartial review, especially for a guy who really likes Yamahas. Must have been hard
.Bland bikes do have a purpose, just like that bloke in the office. Look at how many units the Honda Superdream sold. Some folks just want a reliable commuter that doesn't thrill them but does everything safely and competently.
With a nice, comfy seat…
It is actually a really good bike in any measurable sense. Honda sold thousands of Superdreams back in the day and it was probably amongst the least exciting of the 250's then
The new Triumph is going well there Pete, the bloke on the Duke seemed to be under your feet much of the time. Liked the the way you smoothly transitioned from view to view and the calm commentary too! Top work all round!
It looks lovely and I am glad you are enjoying it so much. I tried a Yamaha 700 Tracer GT and a 900 Tracer GT yesterday. Got to say I loved the 900 GT
f I remember correctly you brought it to the 550 'Speed Build' in 2017
Indeed I did, thanks for posting up your photo. Since then I have improved the brakes by fitting a Brembo RCS master cylinder and a four pot Brembo caliper. Also replace the original tyres which had plenty of tread left but were horrible.
Good upgrades, are you going to Prescott or anyway else this year?
Could this almost be the perfect bike to take over to watch the Manx Classic?
Obviously only beaten into second place by the Thruxton High Power version
It would be great for that and I really do fancy the idea of a return to the Island
Well, lets chat about it – are you going to the Indian dealers with the burger van (Midwest Motos?) this weekend, Radar?
I was away in Scotland with the Thundercat owners group, so I missed the Open Day. Did you go?
