    On a serious note this is excellent fuel efficiency figures.

    Those are indeed great fuel efficiency figures. Is this the norm? Ever since the running in period I don't seem to have broken past the 25 kmpl barrier.

      Well in the city I am getting 22 to 24kpl the worst was 19kpl, on the highway if ridden very sanely the max i once get was 31.6kpl otherwise on highway it is 26 to 29.
      Keep the airfilter clean chain slack in chk and chain lubed. Tyres should also be not under inflated.
      On highway if i ridder around 80 to 100 the fe would be good it starts declining post 110kph.

        Calculated the fuel efficiency today , tankful to tankful. 119 kms in 4.22 ltrs.
        This is mix of 70 percent highway max speed 125kmph and 30 percent city with some choked b2b traffic. So this stands at around 28.1kpl can easily stretch to 30kpl with sane riding on highway.
        City only fe stands at 22.5kms as per last calculation.

          Due to my short height I want to sell my costom seat from perfect seat maker for Interceptor 650 as it has more height from the original seat. It is hardly used for 1 weak only. If any one interested to buy at Navi Mumbai . Pm me.

            i also get similar figure, during one puncture occasion it gave 24 other than that it give 27.5 to 28 always.(speed 80-90 max-)
            My 2014 yamaha Ray Z gives only 35, it gave 55 for first 3 month after that, it is 35 sometimes 38.
            Whenever i do service i always tell the service people regarding this but the mileage is static 35. In comparison to that figure 650 twin is a gem,
            I wonder how did RE managed to tune these machine

              How do you all even calculate the fuel efficiency figures even with such a pathetic fuel meter? Since the day i've got the Continental GT i have been having a tough time guessing the quantity of fuel in the tank! I used to fill everytime the fuel bar starts blinking, but when i go to the fuel pump i get to know that there is already a decent quantity of fuel in the tank. Can anybody help me with the fuel bars?

                Re: Interceptor 650 Twin

                Now that this BS6 saga has delayed my INT650 even further (😭), I'm beginning to have second thoughts! So I have a dumb Q for you folks, in terms of urban practicality, is the Himalayan better than the INT650?

                I'm looking for my forever bike, so it will be a do-it-all. Tour 1-2 times a year. Occasional weekend rides. And thrice a week commute of 50km (round trip), through b2b and highway. I loved the INT engine but the ergonomics are a little questionable. Is the Himalayan more agile? Is the pillion seat better? Trying to figure which one is easier to live with. Both have personality.

                The off-roading aspect we can ignore. My primary two wheeler is my mountain bike which I ride (and race) often. So if I have the Himalayan I will take it off-road, and if I have the INT, I will just take my MTB off-road. Thus, the Himalayan isn't a gateway to off-roading.

                Thanks!

                  If pillion comfort is a deciding factor, the Himalayan wins hands down. But i feel the Interceptor is better in overall quality and has a gem of an engine.

                    Thanks. I can always ask my wife to take the bus My main concern is how easy it is live with the bike in the city. Handling, comfort, parking.

                      Do a tankful to the inner brim of the tank cap collar, ride around 100kms or so then do the tankful again to the same level , now you can calculate the fuel economy with easy. The fuel gauge has it sown mind I also fill at when the last one starts to blink and always find bit more in the tank[emoji12]. But on the second thought almost all fuel gauges behave like this Never came across any fuel gauge which is 100percent true be it digital or analog.

                      I suggest look at the other royal Enfields than Himalayan , as the cone issue is still there in Himalayan. Know few guys who have got cone bearing replaced 4 or 5 times one in 20k kms and one in 16k kms and others also having same situation.

                        Handling is a breeze, parking not so much. It requires more space than a regular bike and pulling one out of the parking takes a fair bit of effort... I have not faced any other difficulty in almost a year of owning one.

                          Thanks, I assume you're talking about handling/parking of INT?

                              How do you know when the tank is full? When the fuel cut off automatically while filling or we have to fill the tank upto the brim? I use fuelio app and whenever i fill my tank i don't know how much fuel is there in the tank.
                              Peace

                                Auto cut happens way early as the nozzle is lower down in the tank , after the cut you have to ask them to lift it up and keep and eye on the level. Inner brim is the most you should top up to. I do this on every tankful.
