This video shares my experience of the first ride out on my brand new Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Mark 2.

I decided that my Yamaha Tracer 9 GT needed another bike to keep it company in the garage 😊 After much deliberation I decided I missed owning multiple bikes and I wanted a second bike that is something different to my Tracer and I really like retro bikes hence my previously owning my Triumph’s, Thruxton R and Bobber Black. Started to look at Royal Enfield Interceptors and found nothing but positive reviews and folks waxing lyrical about what a great value bike they are. So I took the plunge, made my mind up I wanted the Mark 2 model as I love the chrome tank. Paid a visit to QB motorcycles in Quarry Bank in the West Midlands, and they were as good as their word and delivered the bike a week later, great service, friendly staff, highly recommended! QB fitted a set of Scorpion end cans as an extra. Due to work and other commitments I had to wait a couple of days before taking the Interceptor out for its first ride and to start eating into those initial 300 run (break) in miles.

Settled on the first ride being over to Long Mynd in the Shropshire Hills with a brief stop at Clee Hill on the return leg of the ride out. Unfortunately Long Mynd was shrouded in mist on this occasion so I wasn’t able to enjoy the stunning views across Church Stretton and the surrounding Shropshire countryside. A very restrained and laid back ride, needing to keep below 4k revs, but I could tell the bike has lots to give, so anticipating there are going to be many enjoyable rides on this machine!

Heading home I stopped for a break on Clee Hill and got chatting to a one of a group of lads who had also stopped to take in the view on route to Aberystwyth and was able to help him out with an allen key to tighten his bar end mirrors. Hello Gurps 😊
