Royal Enfield has always been about comfort and style than power and performance although they've done a fair job in the latter areas. The rollout of Interceptor is definitely a sign that RE has got to rethinking their strategy to sustain in the market. its defintely a huge step-up considering the fact that RE has not made any significant changes to their engine design since the 80s! honestly, i had begun to wonder what RE engineers have been doing all this time, probably busy fixing tonnes of maintenance issues that comes with their bike. Anyway, whether you want to cruise on the highway or power through is a question of choice and with a 350 or 500cc bike you should be free to do both. but with RE you dont have that choice because the bike cant even rev past 4k rpm with its legacy pushrod ohv engine. but RE seemed to hide that flaw under the brand propaganda and make believe media hypes that states bullets are only meant for cruising not power and speed, which seems more like a lame excuse.. i was like come on guys stop the bs and get real! and after all these years of long wait they finally did! i own a thunderbird and i absolutely love the bike but i always felt the bike has been limited by its technology it could do a lot better if the RE folks had the bajaj attitude. interceptor is truly a beast resurrected from the past, i took a test ride and absolutely loved it. cant wait to be the proud owner :)
