Anyone tried/owned one or know about issues/things to look out for?

There seems to be an awful lot of low miles ones for sale...

I assume you mean the current model not the original?
Most owners I know are very happy but I have heard hey can be a bit cramped for taller riders.
Get a test ride at a dealer?

I have only ridden one for about 50 miles.I didn't like the handling on tight turns. But that's me.

The light at the end of the tunnel maybe an oncoming train

Ah, ok, I'd thought they looked fairly spacious!! I shall try one for size and report what it feels like.

Re: Enfield Interceptor?

They definitely feel a bit like an old Triumph 500 for size. With some noisy exhausts, they sound very good.

I bought one of the first - had it for 6 years come the beginning of next month. No regrets on the purchase and I would probably replace it with another one if anything happend to this one.

Just on the way out now, but I can give in-depth owner experiences later if that would be of interest ?

Test ride only! I found the front end "crashy" and ended up buying the super meteor with the USD forks. Great engines.
