Bangalore based Bulleteer Customs has modified a
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 into a brat-style scrambler. The custom Royal Enfield
Interceptor 650 is christened 'Hooligan 650' and inculcates a split
personality. The motorcycle features a dual-tone black & white paint
scheme, which depicts the two different sides of the bike - Sober &
Hooligan. The black side is the sober avatar of the Interceptor, with its
heritage design. On the other hand, the white side is the brash hooligan
version of the motorcycle.
Cosmetically, the custom Royal Enfield Interceptor
650 features chunky upside-down forks up front, which adds stability to the
vintage tyres with massive sidewalls. The handlebar is placed ahead of the
custom-made triple clamp and sits below the fully-digital instrument console,
which is fitted into a machined piston from the Continental GT 535. The
motorcycle features chopped fenders at the front and rear and a short tail
section.
The side panels are wrapped with leather straps
while the Interceptor 650 gets a custom leather-upholstered seat. The LED
taillight is placed inside a Yamaha RD350's piston. The 'Hooligan 650' features
custom wire-spoke wheels with a black finish. The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650
gets scrambler-style side-mounted exhaust pipes, while the chrome-finish on the
engine is blacked out on one side while the other side receives a silver
finish. The tyres feature 'Hooligan' and 'Interceptor' branding on its tall sidewalls.
Cosmetic and mechanical changes apart, the engine on
the custom Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 remains unchanged. The motorcycle uses
a 648cc 8-valve, SOHC, oil-cooled motor with fuel injection that is good for 47
bhp of power at 7,100 rpm and 52 Nm of peak torque at 5,250 rpm. It is mated to
Royal Enfield's first six-speed transmission. A slip-assist clutch is standard
fitment.
