Peak torque is nicely down the rev range so they should be satisfying machines to ride. By the way no offense intended about the gif, I like it a lot despite a normal aversion to animations!Richard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631151486253265842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734523550620209708.post-36328288400788337452017-11-08T12:51:46.157+00:002017-11-08T12:51:46.157+00:00I agree that criticism of the displacement seems a...I agree that criticism of the displacement seems a bit unfair. The post-war Royal Enfield parallel twins didn't start at 736cc; they were 500cc. The slightly smaller displacement and the much shorter stroke of the new 650 (compared to the original Interceptor) should add reliability and reduce vibration, I'd assume. The (actually) 648cc new Interceptor is only 88cc smaller than the original's 736cc. And it would be nice to think that Enfield can equal the W650 in quality.David Blascohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506975186222681171noreply@blogger.com
