- čas přidán 7. 08. 2024
- The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is the fourth model on the 650 twin platform, and as we see it, it is the bobber version of the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. The Shotgun 650 sits under the Super Meteor 650 in terms of price and positioning, but will be priced more than the Continental GT 650. But, how similar or different is the Shotgun 650 from the Super Meteor 650? And crucially, is it more comfortable than the cruiser? And should you consider buying one? We answer these questions in this video.

What do you think about the #RoyalEnfieldShotgun650? Would you buy it over the #SuperMeteor650? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
No, the same engine with uglier shapes!!!!
Background music should be low volume 😂
I love how laid back and detailed the review is, feels like I'm listening to somehow who actually knows and cares about the bike, in contrast to so many others that I've watched that have been all show and no real substance.
Vikrant, I have to thank you personally for how you demonstrated the exhaust note. Basically, how it SHOULD be done. Take note fellow auto journalists!
It is unlike any other CZcamsr who straight-away revs the engine to the full to be done with the review. Thank you for teaching everyone how it's done gracefully.
Brilliant review as usual. Thank you Vikrant. 😊
The biggest plus for me with this new 650 is the seating position. It is near perfect.
For an older rider like me, the Interceptor and Continental GT felt a little tight in the thighs, and the feet forward position of the Super Meteor was just a little unfamiliar for me, although I do think it is the best looking 650 RE have made thus far. I look forward to seeing one in the flesh. Preferably with a subtle colour scheme, and cloth saddlebags. 🤩
Well said. Do check it out in person and let us know what you think.
Nicely detailed yet concise review. The information on the behaviour of the front end is especially interesting. I wonder if the suspension on this bike could be better tuned within the bounds of its chassis' abilities while retaining its positive characteristics.
Wonderful comprehensive by Vikrant, enjoyed the details covered. Thanks
Great review, very balanced. Thank you
Looks nice. It appears the exhaust is different from the Super Meteor and I'm wondering if the last short pipe extension us removable?
I’m still torn between the SM 650 and the SG 650. The SM is winning 70 to 30 because I’m in love with cruiser style motorcycles. But I learned riding on an endield bullet 500 in the Pindh. So this is closer to that bike, I’m not sure. I’m probably gonna end up with the SM650 but this is the best and most concise non biased review I’ve seen. In my honest opinion.
Lovely bike, do you think it Is beginner friendly as the first bike? Any bad vibrations or heat from the engine? And do you know to max load weight? Thanx ✌️
Slow riding dynamics are important in india rather than USA.better buy interceptor base model and with the money saved one can tube or modify the bije according to one's need as done by vikrant sir( host ) to his Deadpool ( interceptor 650).
Crisp n detailed as usual ❤
Thanks a lot 😊
vikrant & shumi are top G's of motorcycle journalism. really good.
Thank you for the appreciation.
vikrant bawa s baat krwao mere @@BikeWaleOfficial
I love how these aged guys give awesome reviews on motocycles.
Old is Gold
Came from Gagan Choudhary’s video. He admired Vikrant’s riding so came here to see it!!
Yes he was right!!!
Thank you 🙏
I think the Classic 650 might be the most comfortable (in terms of ergos) and practical option for the Indian roads. I hope RE does a better job in terms of rear suspension on the Classic 650.
We'll find it out when it is launched towards the end of 2024.
Will it be comfortable for long distance?
I would love to have the new tft instrumentation of the Himalayan on the 650s.
Thanks for the very informative review.
My only disagreement: the footpegs are not forward positioned at all. You can clearly see in this video, that the rider's knees are further forward positioned thank his ankles are.
We have said that the footpegs are centre-set, and not forward-set like the Super Meteor 650.
Love Peashooter pipes. Wish they were on the Super Meteor.
We second that.
When you sat on the motorcycle, the rear shock absorber is almost at the end, there is not much reserve for the suspension...
I wish to know the location that this video was shot at?
@BikeWaleOfficial
I wanted to buy the Super Meteor next spring, but I think the Shotgun is hot too.
Do you know if luggage solutions are planned?
Will there be accessories for forward controls?
In principle, I would like to install the footrests and handlebars from the Super Meteor and then have a clever solution for luggage. Then it would be the Shotgun.
Then you should buy the Super Meteor 650 instead.
@@BikeWaleOfficial Thx for your answer. Appreciate it. Then I‘ll stick with the Meteor. I‘ll have a look at both when they are availlable next spring. Thanks
Wow this bike amaze me love it 🥰 ❤
Hope you liked the review as well?
just needs a bigger handlebar and aftermarket rear suspension...and it is sorted...
True, I booked the same colour
Sir/madam could you provide me second hand honda h,ness in delhi delhi ncr
So the rear suspension of shotgun can be retrofitted onto the sm650 without affecting ground clearance?
It can be fitted. Check with RE's service centre to know if it affects the ground clearance.
Yes, You can Buy a a yss 340mm suspensión and get rid of the horrible súper/Shotgun suspension
@@TheFatalintentiongood to know. Any suggestions on where to find the exact one I would need for SM?
SM 650 looks really good as compared to shotgun.. This Bike is a Beast Indeed .
The downer to this over the super meteor is that it is not very adaptable to pannier racks. The super meteor seems to have fewer problems than the other two Royal Enfield 650's so this should also be a wonderful bike as long as you don't want to go on long overnight rides. I am a little biased because I am a super meteor owner. I did do lots of homework and verified that there are in fact super meteors out there without major problems at the 50,000 kilometers range. The shot gun dose come in better shade of green than the super meteor.
Well said.
Watching the video the SG appears to have pillion footrests but only a solo seat. Given the SM & SG frame are the same is there a bolt on rear subframe which could be used for panniers? The small tank is the only downside from my perspective, I would have preferred a bit more fuel capacity.
@@ReverseWingover MCN say (in the UK at least) the subframe and pillion seat are supplied with the bike, and you have to take them off to make it single seat.
@@Sankara561Thanks, good to know. 👍
SG or SM which is better
I still prefer 650 twins❤️❤️over any other 650 models
Where is a review of Honda cb350?
This bike is good but gt650 still remains my most fav 650
Okay
SM 650 looks really good as compared to shotgun.
It's a cruiser, it will definitely look better than a bobber.
Okay
Beautiful 🎉❤😊
I hate the back. There is too much space between the mudguard and tyre, Looks like a skirt.
Okay
So no need to wait for classic 650 ... I can upgrade to this from classic 350... Nice review though vik.
Unless the Classic 650's suspension setup is even better tuned than this one, you can definitely go for the Shotgun 650.
Okay.
This Bike is a Beast Indeed 🔥
Yes, it is.
Thank you for the review.
SG is Not what we expected. They showed something and delivered something else. I waited for long and all time wasted. Priced high too. Disappointing RE.
Okay 👍
Can you please tell me the name of the helmet he is wearing
Icon Domain. It's made in collaboration with Royal Enfield.
Im waiting for the day the interceptor and gt come shod with the usd forks
Okay 👍
Factory customization adds up to one lac rupees to the base price....just a footnote for my peeps in India...Clever clever Royal Enfield
Jawa bobber clear of this one seat super meteor
RE should work on its new exhaust design in 650 series. This old design looks ugly. Should be like Harley 750 complete cylindrical
I have this bikes daddy ...classic 350 single seat
Okay
Ground clearance? 👉👈
It is 140mm.
@@BikeWaleOfficial major jump of 5mm from the Super Meteor
Why the hell RE is launching bikes in USA and not in Bharat first?
First one to comment🤔 #trend
Thank you 🙂
The Ugly 650
Bhaisahb... RE should bring back classic 500. Inse nahi ho payega. Hard suspensions with low ground clearance and 200+ weight... Sadak ke har speed breaker pothole ubad khabad sadak in general pe thukegi with pillion
Test it out before passing a judgement.
Guns are cooler than pieces of rocks in the sky.
Okay 🤣
In this context, yea
But that rocks in the sky are hotter than guns
The shotgun would definitely be the killer to supermeteor 650..
35Kw motor in 240kg motocycle..............?🤨Make not sense......
bakwaas hai city pe chalane pe
Did you ride it in the city?
Buckwas bike hai. Chessies to crack ho jati hai wo bhi Bina kisi accident k.
Flop Product , When we have Super Meteor, Interceptor, GT
Looks trash ,priced even worse ,not gonna recommend anyone to buy
It isn't launched yet. Let's wait for it to be launched, before passing a judgement.
का बोला भाई कुछ समझ ना आया 😮😢
What is the ground clearance @BikeWaleOfficial
It is 140mm.
