Given its modern design and production techniques (on a state of the art new production line) and under stressed mechanicals, I’ve got no doubt these will be reliable bikes and complete all rounders.
I was attracted to the Interceptor as a replacement for my written off 1200RS as I felt the BM was just too sterile and soulless and I wanted something more than speed and efficiency after 44 yrs of biking(my previous BM, an R1150R had far more character, and was more engaging as a result, pity it burned more oil than fuel......a common oil head trait!).
I intend to use The Interceptor for all my biking needs - back roads, city work, long haul touring. I have no doubt that it will cope admirably. I just have to adjust my mindset in terms of the available performance, although having said that, it’s probably just as quick in real life as the BM for 90% of my riding.
Like my other bike, a 79 MZ TS250, it just has that “feel” about it that suggests a long life........and its a whole lot quicker than the MZ.........but alas, doesn’t smell as good!
