Royal Enfield traders have begun taking bookings for the upcoming BS6-compliant variations of Continental GT 650 motorcycles and the Royal Enfield Interceptor. Dealers suggest that these models will cost approximately Rs 10,000-15,000 more than their incoming BS4 counterparts. Deliveries for all these bikes are set to begin.
To give you an idea, costs for the BS4 Interceptor begins at Rs 2.65 lakh and goes up to 2.86 lakh. When the version will not get BS6-compliant its beginning price will return to around Rs 2.75-2.80 lakh. Meanwhile, the Interceptor could cost close to Rs 3 lakh. The prices for its Continental GT 650 sibling are predicted to go up with similar amounts.
Traders also tell us that we could see the BS6-ready versions begin reaching dealerships. Deliveries are said to begin after days.
The 411cc, single-cylinder adventure bicycle lost 0.2hp with the new BS6 engine and exhaust installation. We might see something similar happen with the company’s 650 twins, for BS6 compliance are restrictive since changes made.
