We reached out to several dealers across three metro cities- Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore and all on a common note gave the same timeline. Executives at the Delhi based company owned Royal Enfield dealership shared that the motorcycle maker will start with the deliveries in the metro cities first and sooner will take it across India. Though none of the dealers shared exact details about the booking numbers, they said that they have been receiving enquiries for about two months which suddenly spiked from the day of the launch. The dealers have also started with the test-rides of the 650 Twins and in some cases have also provided door-step test rides at the homes or offices of the prospective buyers. They also mentioned that the customers who have taken the test rides were impressed with the refined and smooth cruising nature, especially of the Interceptor 650.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
