Interceptor for me too, love mine! Super Meteor is beautiful but it seems like a more retro-inspired bike, whereas the Interceptor is straight up retro. If Enfield releases the scrambler version of the Interceptor or the classic version of the Super Meteor, I’d have a very tough choice.

Interceptor 650 is the " proper retro" . Waiting for the 850 Interceptor. If it ever materialises. Super Meteor is a wannabee Harley. If you want a small cruiser, get a real Harley. The small 2023 Harley Iron 883 is a nice way to go. But it is more expensive. Much better sounding though. However, the nicest most comfortable ride ( distance) here is the Interceptor. But, I would like to see a "larger" engined version with a slightly lower centre of gravity and a similar power to weight ratio. ( Don't make it too damned heavy !!).

@treklocura3156 it depends on your style and what you are used to. The way to ride a cruiser and a cafe racer type bike is different In cruiser your weight is on your buttocks and lower back while your legs do not carry any weight, on a cafe racer style bike your legs carry lot of your weight. So If your used to cafe racer style bike sudden increase of load on your lower back will feel uncomfortable when you switch to a cruiser. Another thing is in a cafe racer you lean forward more while in a cruiser you sit more straight, this can also cause uncomfort when your body sits in different position from what you are used to.

To be honest, I would be happy with either. They are both lovely bikes. So far, I am not overly keen on any of the SM colourways. In saying that, I also really don't like chrome tanks, but the interceptor does have a lot more colour options that I like. The blue and black is one that I love. If they started producing more colours for the SM, it would be a tough one. But for now, I would be forced to go for the Interceptor.

Clean, simple, no frills, just a motorbike. I'm 5'10" and my Interceptor fits me perfectly. So for the shorter riders, the Super is a fantastic way to go.

I bet if you chaps bought one you would swap out the exhaust cans to get the sound you want, and so would any buyer who *actually cares* about sound. Hence I say scratch the points for sound and you have 6-6. In addition, you should assess sound as an experience when actually riding, because the different rider positions and muffler angles mean that different sound attributes reach the rider’s ear on the road, plus different engine sounds getting past the different tank shapes, different knee positions, different helmet angles, different wind roar.

Not sure my reply will help but... I ride a Triumph Speedmaster which is very comfortable. I tried a Super Meteor recently and, though the riding _position_ is comfortable, the suspension feels hard, even compared to the Speedmaster, which some find hard. I'm a big guy, so have my Speedmaster rear shock pre-set hard and the Super Meteor was harder. That _may_ soften with time, but may not... I couldn't ride an interceptor at all, I think - the mid controls and cafe racer riding position would be uncomfortable quite quickly - but I think the Super Meteor looks more comfortable than it feels. Just to be even less helpful for your decision... Have you heard there may well be a classic 650 in the pipeline? I would imagine _that_ would be the perfect cross between interceptor and super meteor as it will not be a cruiser style, but probably be more comfort oriented than the interceptor...

I have heard rumours of the Classic 650, and it sounds interesting - though I'm not sure I'm prepared to wait. Seems there's always something "better" round the corner with RE. - gotta just bite the bullet at some point! (By the way, there's also an Interceptor scrambler version on its way - the Interceptor Bear 650 - people think poss. the end of this year).

The interceptor is a prettier looking bike ! Don’t like the dials on the Meteor either .

I wish the interceptor didn’t have the upswept exhaust. Low and straight out like the super meteor.

Seen them side by side, Meteor wins- though would be better with spoked wheels.
