I also prefer the tank badge over the plain writing and think the side covers look much better too. All that's missing now, is, for a friend to gift him a 'guardian bell'. --------- Interesting comparison between the shotgun- and super meteor seating and riding sensations - thanks!

You should have asked Jobu for his opinion. He’s a pretty smart guy.

Yep, I can identify. I just dropped $22,000 for a new motorcycle. I still have my old motorcycle, and actually like it better. Motorcycles, and their accessories, are an addiction. Happy Trails!

I was surprised with the super meteor sound. Quite better than I expected! Nice burble to it. And that interstellar dark green is juat gorgeouse. Such a classic color. Beautiful!

This bike shines so much

Interstellar Green, Nice! Reminds me of the color on the ole Bullet 500 I picked up a while ago. Olive Drab would be awesome too!

What a fantastic colour and the sound from the exhausts was really cool. I hope you claimed your commission from RE!

You're a bad influence, Tom! Congratulations on the new bike!

Good choice. Having ridden neither, I think I'd choose the Shotgun, but I'm holding out for the Classic650 while my Classic350 glares at me....

The Super Meteor sounds great. Still, I’m not a cruiser guy. That green is nice; congrats on the new ride.

Congratulations 🎊! Miles of smiles.

Good change, the Interstellar green is a great color, i dig it for sure

I can listen to you talking all day.

Great review and precious comments. Unfortunately, You’re so wrong about the Alfa GTV 6… They’re enjoyable, stylish, full of soul and sensations, and reliable, a perfect daily. I recommend having a try on a nice one

P.S. get the stainless fenders 👍

I loved this video. You sir are an experienced motorcyclist. Myself included, with a lifetime of riding motorcycles as I can tell you have, we all evolve to this point of appreciating a simple bike with just enough power….having tried all the super powered sport bikes. No need for more. These bikes are more fun and satisfying.

I did all the upgrades you can think of on the baby blue classic 350. Its a eyecatcher and i can tour whole Day long without any issues, butttt ofcourse missing a bit of topspeed so after summer i think it will be the shotgun or the gt650 chrome. Enfield stole my heart for its character and when i look in the mirrors i can see myself grinnin all over. Thanks for another good video uncle. Love from Holland

Great video. Thanks from Holland. Watched your first video 7 months ago. We share a lot of the history on bikes. After 40 years riding and now owning a little classic 350, i am still drawn to the gt650 in the same colour you have. I have one question: how is the weight on the wrist after riding a long time? Again, thank you so much for these beautifull views in your country. Berry

Very helpful thanks mate!

Hitchcocks is about 12miles from where i live, guess where im heading tomorrow morning 😅

Loving your channel. Somebody that talks complete sense for a change. Currently in the process of buying a Continental GT 650 from Triumph dealership of all places. I got sneered at by an older gentlemen who for some reason was there on a Fireblade as i took the Conti out on a test ride. Got back signed the paperwork and he was still there. As we left and got in the car Mr Blade cut us up in the car and proceed to wibble wobble up the road. Way too much power for that old fart me thinks 😂😂😂

Haha! The smart key ninja! 😄

I watch this with some interest, i have some 500 classic royal enfields ,and i import accessories for them from India, the quality control on them is nothing short of a nightmare, you have bolt holes that don't line up etc,what should be a 30 minute job can take hours to complete have any one out there had the same issues.

I live in East Texas. This time of year you can’t go motorcycle camping, it’s just to hot. You end up laying in a pool of sweat all night.

If I see gravel or dirt on my Road King, I turn around and go the other way. I hit deep sugar sand one time, handlebars went full lock and down I went because it’s so heavy. 850 lbs.

The bike is a budget bike……..if you wanted better components put out the extra $6000 for a bonneville…….

What state is this? Thank you for the video

''0-60 time idc and a top speed of i dont give a shit''😂

That bikini fairing on the GT looks badass.

The Classic 350 is the RE for which I yearn the most. Interceptor 650 is in second place. For some reason the Himalayan leaves me “meh” although having had KLRs and GSAs, you’d think I’d like the Himmi more.

Had to search for dealers site. I'm sure I'm spotting a gorgeous Pearl Stardust Ninja 300?.........and sold? not showing in inventory. One of the last great looking sports bikes........and can kit with GIVI cases for a sweet, really light, fun, economical compact commuter/tourer for untall folk. Love RE and my INT, but that's a great bike too :)

Very nice and wow I got a laugh from the 2001 reference 😂. I'll be test riding its brother in 2 days (scram 411) and MAYBE a used Himmy if it's actually in stock. Tired of ky high rev WR250R dual sport. Capable bike, but I want something more relaxed. Great bideos, very helpful!

Great job on the overview of the RE lineup. They certainly are a great value for the price.

The Hunter was on top of my list, but ended up with the Triumph Speed 400. I need the extra power where I live.

How misfortate it is to have a vehicle laid up.Camera footage and sound is perfect, Uncle! We can hear the exhaust note and changing gears meticulously. I have a carport which is a cover against the house open on 3 sides where I keep the Himalayan. Maybe you could construct some kind of cover aside from a good tarp wherever you happen to relocate to. IMO, you are the RE advocate/ enthusiast in the south east! Great work as usual and get Jabu a cider😅. Do not let the competition deter your style. 💪

Thanks for the tour and so very different to my local shop. I am curious as to your boots. Cheers from Australia

Nice work on dialing in the audio. Happy Trails!

It’s absolutely gorgeous. Great job.

I'm a very happy Royal Enfield owner. But, I love that green bagger behind you in this vlog.

Perfect informational video for us enthusiasts Uncle! I believe the Royal Enfield Gorilla hit the Market today. I read on the RE site that Sadhartha was putting out 7 models each year over 4 years which is a huge undertaking. I myself am amazed they have the ability to keep us on our toes with continual new models to enjoy. Of course we over on this side of the pond see the models last in line. We will be lucky if the Himalayan 450 surfaces before the holidays and the Gorilla in spring 2025 which will be summer 2025. The RE dealer where you visited did seem to have a handsome collection of models. I am curious to see what happens with their HimE or electric bike in the future. May have to drive the 411 into the ground and then consider electric. I see natural gas bikes now also. Good to see you and Jabo out!

I'd guess that N.American sales are such a small % of RE overall, they don't pay much attention to it....

I feel the same way about the himalayan 411 vs the 450, i thought about trading my 411 in for a 450, then i saw what all they added and changed with the 450. you need a computer to work on the 450, well if i break down in the trails i wont have a computer with me so i'll be boned, but the 411 you can rebuild on the trail without any special tool. my 411 is carbratoted so i have very few electronics to worry about.

I’m not a huge fan of the metal decals on the tank of the Super Meteor, so I wouldn’t want it on the Shotgun. Just class it up with good color schemes and a classy painted Royal Enfield on the tank and Shotgun on the side panels and I’d be happy. Classy colors, not the yellow with Blue and Pickle green. Once again, my opinion. Where RE really messed up was releasing the Shotgun instead of a 650 Classic/Bullet. I’d have bought one already but now I bought a 2017 500 Bullet so I might not be interested if RE ever brings one out. Or maybe I will. 😂 Time will tell. I like the blacked out Continental GT and Interceptors but I’d have left the spoked wheels. I most hate cast wheels. I don’t mind them on my Ultra Classic because they are hidden. I agree on the 411/450 thoughts, I think the original will go down as a classic.

Hiya, I still have my himi, had for 3 years now and can't get rid of it but I have been looking for a classic in marsh grey (second hand) for about a year and picked one up last Friday with only 800 miles on the clock and 11months old. Perfect for the coast roads, country lanes and dartmoor. I did look at the shotgun and would have loved if they did it in the signals colours. Mark uk

Good walk around. I live in eastern Kentucky, and my area is not flush with Enfields. Whenever I stop somewhere on my Interceptor no one even knows what it is, so I’ve explained the brand to several curious onlookers. My nearest dealer is about 125 miles away. Today I saw a Hunter in the town where I live. It was the first Enfield I’ve seen besides mine except when I’m traveling. I share your dislike for the graphics on the Shotgun. I realize they’re trying for a younger audience, but you can’t fake coolness or hipness with graphics. The youth will either find something cool or they won’t. I agree about the Himalayan-the new version is probably better in every quantifiable way, but it misses the mark on value. In fact, aside from the 350’s, I’m afraid Enfield is slowly losing the value edge they’ve enjoyed. Once they start approaching other brands in cost they’re going to lose their advantage in the market. All their bikes had significantly lower prices until the Super Meteor came along. Now the Himalayan and all their 650’s have competition near their price. Choosing a Royal Enfield isn’t as simple as it used to be. Try to keep Jobu out of trouble and keep making interesting videos. I’ll be watching…

Hi great videos! 👍 Can I ask on your bike you have the matching mudguards that match the tank did you buy them like that or get them done yourself? I've got the interceptor chrome tank with red stripe I can not find anywhere that do them on the net.

If you get chance it is well worth having a go on the 450 Himalayan . I'm loving mine over here in the UK

👍👍

I agree 100% with your opinion of the Shotgun branding. I think all of Royal Enfield street bikes should have there metal name on the gas tanks and that's enough. That is like me printing my name Bill on the front and back of my shirts and shirt sleeves, pants, underwear, socks, shoes and hats. I know who I am and so do my friends. Also they don't need to Identify the size of the engine with cheap decals and clear paint over them, either do it with metal or chromed plastic emblem's that can be removed easily. I like the shotgun BUT I've already thought if I were to buy one I would have to sand all that cheap shit off and repaint it! And I'm not going to go to that expense. Wake up Royal Enfield, put a nice badge on the tank, stamp the cc's on the engine block, which you probably do and we can figure out the rest.

what happened to the car?
