Interceptor 650 Gets Classic Exhausts! New Channel Bike

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 | New Channel Bike | Exhaust Upgrade & Classic 650 Project Begins Welcome back to Ride with T and welcome to the new channel bike — a 5-year-old Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. In this video, I explain why I chose the Interceptor 650, how it compares to my Royal Enfield Meteor 650, and why this bike is the perfect base for an upcoming Classic 650–style conversion. After completing a 1,300 km motorcycle tour across Thailand, the mission was clear: get a custom stainless steel exhaust system fitted by a highly skilled Thai fabricator, KJ Petchabun. These handmade peashooter-style exhausts not only transform the sound of the 650 twin, but also drop serious weight — making the bike lighter, lower, and more engaging to ride. I’m joined by my good friend John, who you may remember from earlier Ride with T videos, and the man responsible for introducing me to the RS Tech belt drive conversion. In this video we talk Royal Enfield history, why the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 changed everything for Royal Enfield, and how the proven 650 engine platform led to bikes like the Meteor 650, Shotgun 650, Classic 650, Bear 650, and more. In this video you’ll see: Why the Interceptor 650 is more comfortable than the Meteor 650 (even without mods) Custom handmade stainless steel exhausts and sound test Weight savings and ride feel improvements Plans to convert the Interceptor into a lighter, lower “Classic 650” RS Tech belt drive sponsorship and gearing discussion Real-world touring feedback after 600 km on new exhausts Honest talk about comfort, suspension, foot pegs, and ergonomics Royal Enfield Interceptor vs Meteor 650 comparison insights Shout-outs to talented local builders and the Thai motorcycle scene If you’re interested in Royal Enfield modifications, Interceptor 650 exhaust upgrades, long-distance touring, or wondering which Royal Enfield 650 is right for you, this video is for you. 👉 Subscribe to Ride with T for the full Interceptor 650 build, Classic 650 conversion, touring videos across Thailand, and honest Royal Enfield ownership reviews. 🔧 Bikes featured: Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Business Enquiries - ridewith.t ⁨@yahoo.com⁩ If you want me to post to Europe / UK its possible for a small admin charge 🙏 Video Chapters: 0:00 New Channel Bike – Why I Bought the Interceptor 650 0:40 1,300km Ride & Custom Classic Exhaust Mission 08:00 Interceptor 650 vs Meteor 650 – Comfort & Ride Feel 10:00 Future Plans – Classic 650 Conversion & Belt Drive 🎥 More Royal Enfield videos on the channel: Interceptor vs Meteor 650 • Touring Thailand • Exhaust upgrades • Comfort mods • Real ownership experiences #RoyalEnfieldInterceptor650 #RoyalEnfield650 #RideWithT
