Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 secure outdoor motorcycle storage

Introduction

The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is a modern classic motorcycle, valued for its traditional styling, exposed metalwork, and everyday usability. When garage space isn’t available, outdoor storage needs to protect both the appearance and security of a classic bike while remaining easy to use in a residential setting.

This installation shows how an ArmadilloBoxes steel motorcycle storage unit with an extra-wide door provides secure, weatherproof outdoor storage for a classic motorcycle like the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, while remaining discreet at home.

Customer requirement

The owner required outdoor motorcycle storage that:

• securely accommodates a classic motorcycle – the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

• prioritises ease of use for regular riding

• provides genuine theft resistance rather than cosmetic deterrence

• remains visually discreet within a home environment

The real-world challenge

Classic motorcycles are often used frequently and carefully maintained, making ease of access and protection of finishes particularly important. Narrow door openings and lightweight sheds can make everyday access awkward and increase the risk of contact with handlebars, mirrors, or painted surfaces.

A suitable storage solution needs sufficient door clearance, rigidity, and stability to allow smooth, repeatable access while protecting a classic bike’s appearance.

The solution

A 1200mm wide ArmadilloBoxes secure motorcycle storage unit with an extra-wide door was chosen specifically to suit a classic motorcycle used regularly. The rigid steel construction forms a strong base layer of security, while the extra-wide door opening allows controlled, straightforward access without compromising the bike’s finish.

For owners comparing options, the ArmadilloBoxes size guide helps identify suitable unit widths for classic and modern motorcycles alike.

A steel unit also provides a stronger security foundation than timber sheds, which is why many riders review motorcycle security options alongside their storage choice.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 storage FAQs

Will a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 fit in a 1200mm ArmadilloBoxes unit?
Yes. The 1200mm ArmadilloBoxes unit with an extra-wide door provides ample clearance for the Interceptor 650’s handlebars and mirrors in typical configurations.

Is an extra-wide door beneficial for a classic motorcycle?
Yes. While not essential for fit, an extra-wide door improves ease of use and reduces the risk of accidental contact when storing and removing a classic bike regularly.

Is a steel motorcycle shed more secure than a wooden shed?
Steel storage units provide a much stronger base level of security than timber sheds, which can be forced quickly.

Do I need a concrete base?
No. An ArmadilloBox does not require a concrete base. The unit is structurally sound and can be installed directly onto grass or gravel without damaging the sub-base. Its own weight keeps it stable even before the motorcycle is stored inside.
The units are very rigid and can be packed during installation to bring the door square, allowing accurate alignment on uneven ground. However, like any structure, they should not be installed where water is allowed to pool, and the ground should be free-draining.
