Best Colour Options For Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

The upcoming 650cc twin is coming with a lot of colour options. We help you choose the right one

With Royal Enfield launching the Interceptor and Continental GT 650 in the US it is only a couple of months before the bikes are launched here. The bikes have a lot of Indian enthusiasts thrilled as pricing is expected to be below the Rs 3 lakh mark. That will not just make it the most affordable 650cc bike around but effectively get you a larger capacity parallel twin cylinder motorcycle priced at par or less than 300cc twin cylinder motorcycles. While the bikes are low on tech, the 650cc twin cylinder motor has lots of bottom end grunt. It also has a unique, V-twin like exhaust note thanks to a 270 degree crank angle. RE also promises this bike has enough performance to hit the 'ton' (160kmph) with ease. 

When the Interceptor is launched in India, we expect it to be available in all six colours that the International market gets. Of the six colours, three are solid colours: Mark Three (Black), Orange Crush and Silver Spectre. Then there is are two two-tone Ravishing Red (Red and Black) and Baker Express (White and Red) colour option and a special Glitter & Dust (Chrome) paint job. The chrome one is special as Royal Enfield claims to be the only two-wheeler manufacturer in the world to offer that paint job from the factory. 

As much as we like the chrome one for its bling factor, given our sunny conditions, the vast reflection given out by the chrome panels can render you momentarily blind while riding and that can be extremely hazardous. While the solid colours do have their charm, they do do not feel as special as the two-tone ones.

The Ravishing Red (Red and Black) is a good option but it does not stand out as much as Baker Express (White and Red) colour scheme. This one gives out the right retro vibes and reminds us of the much more expensive Triumph Bonnevilles. The  Baker Express (White and Red) is our colour choice for the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
