Royal Enfield Interceptor

The Royal Enfield Interceptor was a British motorcycle made by Royal Enfield between 1960 and 1970. The 700 Interceptor of 1960 was a tuned version of the 692 cc Constellation, sold only in the United States and Canada, with engines stamped with the VAX prefix. In 1962 the company introduced the 750 Interceptor with an all-new 736 cc twin-cylinder engine whose dynamically balanced crankshaft made it one of the smoothest British twins. After the main Redditch factory closed in 1967 the Interceptor was the only model kept in production, moved to Bradford-on-Avon, where the Series 1A brought coil ignition and the Series 2 a wet-sump engine. A batch of Series 2 engines went into Rickman chassis as the Rickman Interceptor, and a 778 cc Series 3 prototype never reached production. The name came back in 2018 on the Interceptor 650.
