What the heck kind of intro was that 😂😂😂
I definitely thought my iPad speakers we’re playing up 😂
LOLZ! My mouth dropped open and stayed that way for the first few minutes of the video
The lad has a proper sense of humour! most of these bike channels are way too serious.
Good job he tweaked his voice though....
With some of his theories I'd believe it was his actual opinion
Had to reboot my buds two times due to perceived bad signal. Brilliant !
Intro by Stuart Fillingham age nine and three quarters…
I thought something was wrong with my speakers 🔊🤣
Same here 😂
They should leave off the graphics. Nice solid colors with a set of classic RE badges on the tank and let the customer do whatever customizing they want.
I keep saying the graphics are ugly. This bike should ship blacked out and plain. Badges are enough embellishment.
Completely agree 100%. The bike in the video isn’t so bad but some of the other colors have way to much going on. I like my machines stripped down and lawyering over the stickers prevents removing them without causing issues.
I'm guessing a future 650 Classic will be very, very similar to the Shotgun, with traditional detailing and chrome.
I saved this to watch after work today (Friday treat). I sat down with a glass of Drambuie and quickly realised I'd gone mad or road fumes had poisoned me. Then I heard the comment about the world turning under the bike and, "I'll get me coat". Good one stewart. Love the videos
GORGEOUS.
I want one in maroon red.
Me too
Designers usually agree that less is more. Its what you do with the less that's the real test. They have certainly passed this time and the compact simplicity of this bike is heartwarming.
Ahh Les Ismore... I knew him...
Morning Stuart, Royal Enfield does actually make our world go round! 🙌👍😉
May it well continue to do so !
Cheers Mel 🍻
LOL I love this channel, its like a box of chocolates. You never quite know what your going to get but you always enjoy it. Top sense of humor sir, that intro was classic. Then you keep your word and give us all the details the generic channels have completely missed, Thank You!
I love the look of the shotgun 650 and it is stacked with some really well thought out mod cons such as that removable pillion seat. I hope they produce some more inspiring colour options and I wish that usb port was up on the handlebars. Nice to charge your phone whilst you use it as a sat nav. Anyway,
thanks for the content, always really great. Your classic 350 vids have kept me going whilst I wait for mine to be delivered on the 28th of this month.
Love this…the 1st minute review reminded me of some actual reviews out there! 😂
Got the opportunity to sit on the Shotgun for the 1st time yesterday & the grey 1 as shown here did look great.
Can’t wait to watch and listen to your thoughts over the next couple of weeks.
👊😎👍
A good introduction Stuart and I look forward to seeing the following reviews as this bike has my interest.
Enjoyed that and found the information useful/factual, Thanks Stuart.
Brilliant video as always Stuart and its a lovely looking thing, and I can't wait for the full review 😃👍🏻
Hello Stuart, thank goodness for a sense of humour and,,, my favourite background music.
A very detailed review, looking forward to a ride review.
Glad to see that you have this bike for review. Looked at them last weekend and what a thing it is. This is the first bike to come along and tempt me off my Interceptor. Looking forward to hearing you thoughts on it.
So... I would call it a bobber simply because it looks great without the rear seat and rack, so far I've heard that the seating position is pretty square, not like the Meteor.
If I had to get my hands on one, all I'd really change is the intake and exhaust, as usual, and I'd try replacing that tripper pod and Speedo with the Interceptor units.
RE raises the bar, again. You nailed it again, Stu.
Great introduction for the Shotgun. Can't wait to see your next ones too.
great balanced insight to what looks a wonderful bike 👍
Loved the Intro, thought I had found a Fillingham parody video! Made me chuckle - look forward to your in depth review.
Hahaha nice intro, I was waiting for this review ❤🎉
Absolutely loved the informative introduction, now I know why the tank is above the engine 😂. I through the same as you when I first saw the Shotgun that it had a look of the classic. I really like this bike and it has some nice detailed touches. I saw one in my RE dealer and they look great in the flesh. That is a clever pillion seat/rack arrangement.
Always worth my time, thank you sir. Cheers. Loved the weird intro. Keep em coming
Loved the chipmunk intro 😂 I recently visited a dealership that had all models on display,sat on the 650 Meteor,I was amazed at the quality of the finish.
Looking forward to your follow up videos Stuart, thank you.
I thought I had accidentally clicked onto a Habrio Starmix ad, or maybe Stuarts got a new sideline flogging sweets! Shotgun looks like the best RE model so far, superb!
Once again Royal Enfield have a winner with the Shotgun. A real looker and with everything you need and nothing more. The pillion seat/ luggage rack is brilliant and is a major selling feature for me. And of course the 650 engine has been tested and proven numerous times. Thanks once again Stuart for a honest ,comprehensive review. Cheers and ride safe,Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Restarted 3 times thinking my audio was playing up you wee scamp. Love the Shotgun, going to be a customiser's dream
Stuart: Your reviews qualify you as a gentleman and motorcycle scholar. Thank you!
Nice review Stu, great bike.
A very impressive motorcycle indeed the more I see of these the more I like them😊
Absolutely gorgeous looking motorcycle! Royal Enfield go from strength to strength!
Brilliant Intro. Thanks for my early morning laugh.
LOL! Nice intro once I double checked my settings!! Like I’ve always said, “never grow up”! 😂 Very much looking for more on this motorcycle. 😎
Excellent review, amusing too! 😀 stunning bike in my opinion👏👍😀🏍
Uncle Stu reaches the parts other reviewers don't!
I saw the similarity with the Bullet too! But the funny thing is RE is currently also testing 650 versions of the Classic and Bullet 😅
Can’t wait to watch your full review!
Best RE yet!
Cracking looking bike.
You had me for a few minutes with the beginning 😆 Excellent video as usual , the more I see of these Royal Enfields the more I fancy one. This Shotgun 650 certainly seems to fit the bill 👍🙂🚴
hi, i also would love to fit this in a bullet category rather than bobber or crusier but there is a bullet 650 comming already spied testing lot of times
Hi Stuart i purchased my Shotgun about three weeks back and i love it the same colour as the one you have reviewed my only grip as with the RE Interceptor and the Shotgun that i have owned is that the India community must have small feet because i have had to lengthened the gear leaver about 1 and1/2 inches mind you my feet are size 13 and 1/2 keep up the great work and happy riding Bob
I'm glad we're finnaly getting review samples because all the promo material was done with the color variants and we had almost no one covering this gray one. I'm still on the fence if I like this one more than the stencil white, I just wish it was closer to black than gray
"I'll get me coat" 😂.
I like it when you do a piece to camera Uncle Stu - even better when it's like this 😂
Suprising start to video . Whatever RE 650 someone buys don't think you can go far wrong..
Great intro! 😂. I really want to like this model. The tripper is a bit gimmicky for me. I dont see the need. The excessive weight is what really concerns me. Why in the world is it so much heavier than the interceptor? I have seen a couple of videos where the interceptor out paces the shotgun by a large margin. That being said. I could probably get a decent used interceptor and spend for upgrades to attain similar riding triangle as my circumstances would afford. The interceptor weight can be reduced as well. Thus would provide even greater power to weight ratio. The dimensions if the shotgun are very close to the interceptor and classic 500. I cant wait for your in depth review and comparison to the interecptor. There has been some discussion about seat comfort and the short rear shock travel. Information and pics are leaking about a classic 650 in 2025. But if the weight is still that much above the interceptor it will be a deal killer. I think topping the interceptor is going to be a difficult challenge. The interceptor makes better use of the 650 power plant. But hey its just my humble opinion.
Good morning Stu. Have you been eating Haribo. lol. Good video. I look forward to the reviews on this bike. I liked the concept bike when it was first shown a couple of years ago at the NEC but I think the bike has been improved since then.
First video I’ve seen with the bike in this colour,really like it,all the other ones have been blue,thought my phone was playing up on the intro ,nearly got me there.🤣
Shotgun small stepping stone to the new classic 650
Yes, essentially the same but with more "traditional" wheels, lamp/instruments etc. Waiting.....
What classic 650? Have royal Enfield even said they are going to produce a classic 650? I don't think so
@@simontilbey coming
@@simontilbey Google's your friend; Plenty of spy shots of it during testing. Even more Bullet-like than this bike.
@@mjrtensepian1727 I have seen these spy shots. I'm still not convinced although I would like to think they will produce a 650 classic or bullet. I would get one if I haven't got the shotgun already by then.
The Shotgun is custom made for me. I am selling my 2023 Classic 350 to buy this, in this color. The tired old saying that many say but few follow; “it’s all you need” applies to this exceptional motorcycle. Fun review!
Best intro ever Stuart.
That has to be the best looking RE to-date (to my eyes), although I do really like the Hunter 350. Love the intro! 😂
A great looking bike and dark grey is my favorite color. Why they don’t put the USB charging port on the handle bar escapes me completely
You have not said anything negative about this bike because it is a fantastic looking bike looks even better in the flesh. And with the rear seat removed and if you also want to remove the rear rack(why) it transforms the bike yet again. I can see one of these in your stable. Looking forward to seeing more reviews on it. 👍👍
Intro!, I'm like , wtf , that killed me, I choked on my coffee at the "makes the world go round" brilliant.
Nice bike. Love the pillion seat turning into a luggage rack. Soo cool
Do you do Haribo adverts too? 😉 - great video!
A quick start, couple of exhaust notes... and a small ride would have added a million dollar value to this review. None the less... I enjoyed it. Love from India 😇
Loved the intro. I was ready to listen hard to understand all of it as presented. As always, with a new model there will be minor dislikes. Most of the bikes I've owned in the last 50 years have had minor issues that moto jouralists have pointed out and made them major. One was my '85 K100RS with an unrideable seat that must be changed out immediately. I logged almost 100 K on that bike. Even my dealer said if you can't accept minor niggles, go to your auto.!!! I love that pillion seat removeal. I hope this works over to other models. 👍👍5🏍🙋♂️
😂🤩❤️love it Stu intro and bike ✅
Thank you. I’ve been waiting for this, I just didn’t realise it! I’m a child of the sixties, but don’t do bikes……….yet!
Hy up lad, what on earth was that beginning all about 😂 great video as per usual.
One of many reasons to get the Super Meteor over the shot gun would be the back rest to keep your pillion on your bike. The shot gun looks to me like you won't be able to put a backrest on it.
🤣Excellent intro! made me choke on my cornflakes!
Loved the intro, more please. The Shotgun is sort of growing on me, wasn't sure when I first saw it but my mind is changing. It's modern but undeniably Royal Enfield and, if it was parked outside the Ace cafe in the sixties at first glance it wouldn't look out of place, until you took a closer look. Just being picky, you can't use an FMJ in a Shotgun, wrecks the barrel.😀
All metal bike,mid controls,Showa forks & I like the black look on this bike.
Great looking bike & some alloy bling too.Tripper be handy & I wonder how they do it for that price too.
Great video bike looks great hopefully released where I live in the world soon blacked out looks fabulous. The rear rack is a great option.
I love that colour, it’s the best one of the shotgun range.
PS-your intro cracked me up😊
Can’t wait for the test ride , prices , pros and cons, fancy one of these
This color is the only color I like on the Shotgun. I wish it was actually black but this is really cool looking
Thanks Stu, if i had room for another bike i`d be giving this one some serious thought.(in green)
Love this colour ❤ thanks Stuart, I'm going to book my test ride with Manhattan motorcycles Sheffield 🎉
Gotta say, I love your Shotgun Black to the other colourways. I reckon I'll pop it on my shopping list.
Our Stuart's been on the Haribo!
When the video started I thought it was "Haribo Starmix reviews the RE Shotgun". 🤣Nice initial walk around, Can't wait for a more in depth review. Looking good so far, I do wish they had squeezed a bit more capacity into the fuel tank though. Nice touch with the pillion seat. Thinking outside the box, I like that. 👍
Very amusing intro. Lovely motorcycle.
This is going to be fun.
Love your channel and always really informative. I wonder how many times you have said the word “bullet”
Loved the intro 😂😂😂
It looks like a lovely bike. On looks and practicality.
I think I prefer this bike out of all the 650 range. Love the blacked out look. The only disappointment is the lack of a ‘shotgun’ exhaust. That would’ve looked superb! 👌🏻
brilliant intro, like the bike, need to comprare with the super meteor
What a fabulous start to a bike video and my day! Just what I needed right now 😂... As for the bike......oooooh, I'm tempted. Somebody lock up my bank cards! 😅
Certainly a well-equipped bike; pretty incredible for the money.
I think Shotgun would look very beautiful with Super Meteor rear mudguard. Closer to Classic models.
Add the clocks from the gt/int too?
Great start, can't wait to see your thoughts on the test drive!
Am seriously troubled by the choice between a Super Meteor and a Shotgun to upgrade from my Meteor 350. Will very much appreciate your support on the matter 😎
(considering I mainly drive with pillion)
I personally think the shotgun looks far nicer than the S- meteor and I too was looking at getting one. The shotgun also seems to have some great customisation options that you can do on the quick that make it a winner for me. Hope you have fun making the decision, get out and test ride them both. 🤘💀🤘 All the best
@@BikerMatt86 Waiting for the Shotgun to arrive here in Thailand... Testing the SM this weekend (for a second time)
Agreed as far as mods are concerned, the Shotgun is most likely to be a winner on that purpose, but I do very, very much appreciate the S-Meteor's look as well, even standard.
And, unless proven otherwise by road test, believe the SM to be better adapted to pillion riding...
That rack under the back seat is fantastic.
I like the pillion seat lock idea! Great looking bike apart from the speedo / tripper arrangement but it is just my opinion. Nice video as usual.
I wasn't expecting that reedy tenor voice! I'm glad I'd already swallowed my mouthful of coffee before he spoke 😅
So now we like the black ? Sat on one of these last week in Scarborough....very nice !
Always like your post Stuart Can't say blacked out bikes do anything for me.
And running on helium certainly is not advisable 😂
Safe riding mate
Lee
By Jove! That's one beautiful musclar bike!
Nice coverage and looking forward to more in-depth details. If possible could you explore the lowering options on the shotgun, as I have 27 inch legs and it’s a little too heigh for comfort. I was wondering if it “settles” down a bit after use. The Super Meteor is just about OK ;)
I thought I was watching another blog, soo funny. On you Stuart.
Good review, tnx..
Damn this full blacked out trim does wonders for the bike
Have to admit, I had to restart the video because I thought the sound was messing up. The second time, I figured out what was going on. Funny..😂
Royal Enfiled hit a grand slam! It is a nicely priced, modern and handsome motorcycle! None are available where I live (Thailand) yet!
Eagerly waiting arrival at RE Phuket as well 😍🙏
It looks great but I've got a super meteor and before that I had the GT continental. My wife will hit the roof if I get a new bike.
And now presenting, 'Stuart and the Chipmunks'. lol Looking forward to your reviews Sir. Particularly interested in the Shotgun's rider comfort.
Stuart I do enjoy your videos so much 😂😂😂👍 Dave K
