Aruj, the owner of the bike says that it is a fantastic motorcycle and does not fit his riding style. He would rather have bought the Triumph Bonneville T120 instead of the Royal Enfield Interceptor. He bought the bike for its power and smoothness but got completely inclined towards the Triumph Bonneville after he took a test-ride of the bike. The owner also adds that he prefers the Harley-Davidson and Triumph bikes when it comes it ergonomics. He expected something completely different from the bike but it does not fit his riding style at all. This is not the first Royal Enfield owned by Aruj. He previously owned a Royal Enfield Classic Desert Storm but sold it after 6 months as he did not like the vibey engine.
