In addition to having the classiest name in motorcycling history, the Royal Enfield Interceptor featured a tuned version of RE’s biggest engine at the time. They were only sold in the US and Canada – as a ’69 model, this is a MkII model.
The MkIIs got forks and brakes from a Norton as well as an upgrade to the wet sump lubrication. The bike weighed about 410 pounds wet and was motivated by a 736cc engine. For more on the Interceptor, and why Motorcycle Classics called it “British motorcycling’s best kept secret”, check out this write-up.
