Modified Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Looks Like Yamaha RD350, Check Exhaust Note In Video

Recently a video was shared on instagram which shows what appears to be Yamaha RD350 but the bike is actually a modified Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. The video was posted by Yamakaze, a motorcycle restoration shop that focuses on 2-stroke bikes primarily.

In the video, we can see that the Royal Enfield bike has been fitted with a RD350-inspired body kit and undergone a few other design changes that have made the bike look entirely different. For a second it almost made us believe it was an RD350.

Coming to the changes made, the Interceptor 650 has now received new halogen headlight and turn indicators featuring round bulb-type indicators. The fender is a fully chromed-out unit, the fork gaiters have been removed and the fork has been fully chromed-out as well.

Additionally, the handlebar has also been changed to a raised one, like we have seen on the RD350. The only thing that gives away the fact that it’s an Interceptor when looking at the bike from the front is the radiator guard which has the RE logo.

The fuel tank and side panels are the same but have been repainted with ‘Interceptor’ written in the RD350 style stickering and graphics. The seat appears to be a custom unit which looks more in line with the RD350’s. Coming to the rear, the tail section has been redesigned and now looks similar to the RD350’s, with the chrome fender and round tail light plus indicators.
