The Continental GT 650 is definitely worth the look and time. The beauty of the Interceptor is in its simplicity

These are genuinely interesting, well-made, well-finished motorcycles that promise a lot of rides, a lot of memories

Overall, it's a completely new experience to ride the new motorcycles. And the change is definitely positive here

The prices are out and everyone has been blown away. It looks like Royal Enfield is now set to dominate the premium bike segment in India.

The Royal Enfield Interceptor, in a word, is desirable. It's simple design, classy execution and marvellous engine.

I could be wrong, but I think Royal Enfield has created my perfect motorcycle

20-years testing and 23-years racing means I ride a lot of bikes. It’s maybe once per year that a new model sticks out so quickly… Ultra smooth. Balanced. Torquey. Sounds sweet. Fun…

Overall, in my opinion, they are a much better ride in every scenario than, for example, Harley’s Street 500. And dynamically, it is a sweeter handling machine than the outgoing Triumph Street Twin.

It’s not about them being perfect motorcycles – there is no such thing, in a sense – but rather about how they let you paint your motorcycling dreams. And you know what the best thing about dreaming is? There’s never a bad time to start.

The INT650 has got a combination of retro-cool authenticity and modern day approachability. One of the game-changers the motorcycle industry needs right now.

5 Best Bikes to Grow Motorcycling - The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 parallel twin is an attractive buy with retro-cool style

BSVI Himalayan : First ride review by EVO India

This is only a ctrl+R for the Himalayan but the changes do make the bike better in some ways. Even for shelling out about Rs 6,000 more for the BS-VI model, the Himalayan still remains a brilliant value-for-money proposition.

If it works for you, then the Himalayan will delight you with its analogue sensations, confident stride (courtesy the 21-/17-inch wheels) and long-haul friendly ergonomics

The Meteor is such a relaxed, enjoyable, and involved motorcycle. It’s one of those bikes that you can spend hours on without getting tired.

The Meteor 350 is a considerable leap forward in comparison to its predecessor in terms of engine performance, quality fit and finish, improved convenience thanks to the Tripper.

The Meteor sets a new benchmark and the time and effort put into this platform can be felt the moment you get going.

The Meteor 350 marks the inception of a new generation of RE motorcycles, sharing its platform with future single-cylinder models.

The Meteor is a low, handsome cruiser in profile and the uncompromised overall quality oozes from its pores.

The Meteor 350 is a sweet surprise and unlike anything out from Royal Enfield in the 350cc segment. It is not only a new product, but a quantum leap in terms of retro cruising.

The latest Meteor 350 is one of the most refined product Royal Enfield has built. Fit, finish, ride quality and equipment-wise this would compete with most of the modern products

The price for which the Meteor is being offered, for how it’s built, and all the improvements they’ve made, the Meteor 350 is a thoroughly impressive first spark which will fire a shower of new-generation REs which are headed our way.

With the newly launched Meteor 350, one can cruise all-day in comfort without dissapointing themselves.

The Meteor is a promising forerunner of what we can expect from future offerings in terms of refinement, reliability and the overall ownership experience.

The Meteor 350 is the most refined cruiser made by Royal Enfield and has replaced the Thunderbird X.

The Meteor is a symbol of finesse and sophistication in a motorcycle and the new motor is a world of a difference compared to the old UCE engine.

Off-road testing the new adventure motorcycles

Royal Enfield's first launch for 2021 comes in the form of an updated Himalayan. The changes are largely based around comfort, practicality, and convenience, and the bike remains untouched in terms of the engine and chassis.
