Nice!
Unit Construction but top end reminiscent of the old Enfield twins.
Hopefully the cylinder is a one piece unit rather than two as on the old engine.

Nice looking, but only 47hp (I assume at the crankshaft) is disappointing. Somewhere around 65-70hp with a weight of 400 lbs or less would be very entertaining.

47bhp 1 more than a 65 bonneville 46bhp?

Excellent looks. 47hp may not be detrimental if tuned for lots of torque.

 calling it an "interceptor" might be pushing it a little.

Wonder if it vibrates to...

Might be similar in performance. The original Interceptor was rated at 52 bhp for the 750, a bit less for the 700.
Hopefully this new version is not as fragile as the old twin.

Remember when the Hinkley Bonnies were first released? Deja Vu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sO4JTxrZmg  Would love to see a new XS 650 too!
