Hello Paul
In Oct 2025 , I bought my New 2023 Interceptor at my local dealership just south of the TN border (AL) .
I hadn't recovered enough to ride it ... but I was recovered enough to find it on the dealer's web site .
The deal was too good to pass up ! It had been lost in shipping for a year and was titled as a 2023 but manufacturing date is 5/2022.
It had 2.1 miles on it where it had been test rode once and the dealer said they had it sold but the buyer's financing fell through and now they wanted it gone ... so they drop the web sight price to $4500 + fees . I went to look at it and offered $4500 OTD .
I got out the door for $4550.oo as an out of state buyer then paid tax on it when I got back to TN. Tax was almost $400. but < $5,000 total for a NEW BIKE with a 3 year bumper to bumper warrantee .
I think about $7000 plus fees is normal for a 2026 Interceptor.
Its the same engine my Super-Meteor had (650cc) . That RE 650cc engine has a small oil cooler but not the big liquid cooler. Apparently in Europe there seem to be some limit on the power new drivers can have for their first bike ... it's cut off is 47HP ... so Royal Enfield rates their 650cc motor a 47HP ?... I've had two of them now and have a hard time believing the 47HP claim limit , it seems artificially low.
They have bore's bigger than their stroke (7,500rpm-red line) and 4 valves/cylinder , 270 deg. crankshaft (twins) , hot tuned and oil cooled engines. Their easy to like too - the smoothness is boxer engine smooth.
I suspect most all modern engines are smooth now and are made for the "World-wide" shipping ?
