I can imagine what it would feel like riding a twin enjine enfield with 52 BHP. Wish i could own one. Can I find one in India or can I get it from abroad. I dont mind getting a old one and restoring it.

^^ Same as Akshay said. Read about it on the net, heard about it from a few people but never seen one in real life.

Thats a rare species ... would be very difficult to find one in India. Infact, I dont even think that the interceptor was ever produced or sold in India. This bike was made mostly to target the Japs which were becoming popular in the US markets at the time and unless a collector/enthusiast imported one into India, it'd be difficult to find one in India.

You can find some interceptors online for sale abroad, ranging for $5000 to $15000 depending on the condition.

And yes, if you do manage to find one, send details
