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.

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

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

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.
