If straight-line speed is your priority, the W800 ABS takes the lead. With 4 HP more than the Interceptor 650, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Interceptor 650 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 8kg less than the W800 ABS, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the W800 ABS. Its seat height is 14mm lower than the Interceptor 650, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the w800 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the interceptor-650 if you want the alternative brand character.
