The Interceptor GT I test rode was a 650 twin, had bigger bore mufflers fitted, I didn’t think it was terribly underpowered and sounded great.

Definitely go for a test ride - but DONT expect anything like the performance of your other two bikes mentioned! Seat, I didn’t ride for long enough but I doubt it would be comfortable for much...

I can’t find it, it hasn’t arrived! Now I’ve finished being a smart-arse.... on the test bike ride I found it was almost a scooter in comparison to the Electraglide Classic bulk. It did go well,...
