Can't resist..... Blame it on Ash.

not Honda, and this is 2 wheels, so meets general discussion criteria.

If anyone does not think this bike is gorgeous, then OMG !  i sold 2157 and bought this beauty last May.  Never been able to get the Interceptor out of my head since i saw the attached ad when i age 15, that was 1967....  The Interceptor pulsates, always starts first kick, and leaks oil like a real motorcycle should...

Quote from Royal Enfield Interceptor sales brochure:  "Not everybody can have one.  There aren't enough to go around.  That is why the owner of an Interceptor has some thing special.  Something the other fellow hasn't got."

1967 Royal Enfield Mk.1A, Interceptor - around 800 built by 6 men, 200 feet underground in an old WW2 skunk works during 1967 and 1968.  http://www.bradfordonavonmuseum.co.uk/archives/4240

I agree, it is gorgeous. In the sixties I was too young to ride a motorcycle but I used to drool over them in the magazines. My favorite was the Honda CL77 until the CB750 came along. But I remember the British bikes, Triumphs, BSAs, etc., and I remember the Enfields. If it wasn't for Honda I'm sure I would have had one of those.

Thanks, Mark!  yeah....  BSA had some really trippy full page color ads during 67-69, Bonnie and Clyde, go-go revolution, you get it.  Poor Royal Enfield could barely afford a 1/2 page b&w ad.
