1967 Royal Enfield 750cc Interceptor

Description

1967 Royal Enfield 750cc Interceptor

Built to satisfy the North American market’s appetite for ever-larger engines, the 736cc Interceptor arrived in the UK in 1962 and was closely based on the Constellation but with the added refinement of a dynamically balanced crankshaft. In 1966 Royal Enfield was acquired by Norton Villiers and much of the business sold off. After a brief hiatus in production, Royal Enfield introduced the Series II Interceptor, with revised wet-sump engine, and the model continued in this form until the company’s demise in 1970. Although it sold in relatively small numbers compared to the more popular BSA and Triumph twins, the big Interceptor had a character all of its own and even today commands a loyal following.
