However, the waiting period on the Royal Enfield 650 Twins is still a month or two. The waiting period is also dependent on the variant and paint job chosen. Our dealership sources reveal that Interceptor 650 is the better selling of both.
Talking about its competitors, KTM Duke 390, TVS Apache RR310, Honda CB300R, Kawasaki Ninja 300 and BMW G 310 R. All these bikes fall in the Rs 2 Lakhs to Rs 3 Lakh budget.
The figures reported by Duke 390 and Apache RR310 are much lower than 300 units per month. Since Ninja 300 and G 310 are from a premium motorcycle manufacturer, their figures are still respectable.
