Oh I understand, its because it is made in India that you don't like it. Well that's fair enough, but that hardly makes it a knock off in the sense of a fake or copy of the real thing. We don't all have to like the same things, but it does seem that across the range they are rather popular at the moment, and certainly as a sports machine the Interceptor stands comparison with the significantly more expensive Triumphs.
I can remember with sufficient clarity back to the 60s and 70s not to get too misty eyed about motorcycles of that era, including Hondas, and cars as well for that matter. There is no doubt that the Japanese took quality, reliability and performance to a higher level, but I happen to have a soft spot for more traditional thumpers of the classic english style. There is still a good number of "greasers" running around on them in their dotage judging by the forums.
