The pricing is just fantastic. I just really wish the bike is at par with other 650 cc offerings on the quality aspect.

Let the Beta Testing Phase finish first. Even the best of brands/manufacturers develop early bugs.

Am not doubting the capabilities of RE in any manner. But truth be told, this is the very first attempt by RE in an uncharted territory.

If this is the pricing, it invites even RE haters such as myself!!! Wow.

Pricing..spot on! Looks like RE has a winner.

ksameer1234 · 14th November 2018, 18:35

This pricing, if true is unbelievable. RE has the potential to cause huge disruption now. If the bike can cruise comfortably at 100 kph, it more than meets the touring needs. Though my apprehension is that this may not appeal to poser folks who would probably stick with classic 350. If that happens, this won't sell by thousands, but will certainly appeal to ninja, Bonneville customers.

Launch event postponed by 15 minutes. The wait continues.

LOL Gutter and Dust color

It should be Glitter and Dust. So much for quality control!

EDIT: Not directly from RE, I stand corrected! Thanks for pointing out.

What a sweet price!! I mean, if this is indeed true, then RE couldn't have been smarter than this. They are going to laugh all the way to the bank.

It reminded me of the Ecosport pricing during the launch.

Ride Safe,

If this is what it is then RE has a winner going by the positive reviews. The engine, performance and quality levels are reported to be good. This would make the Interceptor, the most affordable twin cylinder 650cc motorcycle

The pricing is on par with RC/Duke 390.

That's DriveSpark's article in case you mistook it to be RE source. I'm sure you did because it would have been 'proof reading' instead of 'quality control'.

pramodkumar · 14th November 2018, 18:57

I am gonna say lets wait for official announcements and not speculate

People are going to run behind RE with their pitchforks if the prices are above what is speculated

Let's hope there are no nasty surprises after launch and the first buyers don't get taken for a literal ride like with the Himalayan.

Sure, all the reviews are great, but, it's still a short ride in the context of ownership. Lovely chrome and looks, hope it doesn't start rusting in a couple of months.

Instead of a low price I hope RE has a grip on quality and does not make a debacle again. A premium over the suggested prices but a good, clean product would be perfect. Good quality and cheap don't go hand in hand folks!

Cheers
