Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and GT 650 have really developed a liking in the Indians for an high-capacity simple looking motorcycle. The 650 Twins are the most affordable parallel-twin machines that you can get in India right now.

Interceptor is the better selling of two, primarily because it is more affordable and gets a relaxed riding position. The GT 650 is an old-school cafe racer and thus gets low-placed clip-on handlebars.
