Model Introduced in 1963 the mighty 750cc Interceptor was closely based on the Enfield Constellation but with 736cc engine added refinement of a dynamically balanced crankshaft. Most of the production was destined for the USA (only 947 made) to satisfy the North American market’s insatiable appetite for ever larger engines, although it sold in relatively small numbers when compared to the more popular British brands.
The 750cc Interceptor is probably one of the most underrated British motorcycles of its era, the handling and performance exceed the equivalent Triumph and BSA and its rarity makes them both prized and collectable today.
