Our verdict

The Interceptor 650 reworked into a genuine scrambler: a torquey, low-revving 648cc twin, a proper Showa fork and real style, honest about being heavy and modest on power, and unbeatable on character per euro.

Pros

  • Torquey, characterful 648cc twin with a real story
  • Proper 43mm Showa fork and genuine scrambler stance
  • Outstanding character and style for the money

Cons

  • Heavy at 216 kg
  • Modest 47 hp and a tall 830mm seat
