Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Review | Is It More Comfortable Than Super Meteor 650? | BikeWale

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.

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 Youtuber 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. 🤩

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.

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.

Wonderful comprehensive by Vikrant, enjoyed the details covered. Thanks

[almightyhimself]

vikrant & shumi are top G's of motorcycle journalism. really good.

[_abhimanyu.]

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.

Came from Gagan Choudhary’s video. He admired Vikrant’s riding so came here to see it!!
Yes he was right!!!

[vespaveloce]

Great review, very balanced. Thank you

[samridhsk]

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).

So the rear suspension of shotgun can be retrofitted onto the sm650 without affecting ground clearance?

[ChiranjibSahooCottonUniversity]

I love how these aged guys give awesome reviews on motocycles.

[joshuathomas]

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.

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.

[rockintigger]

I would be interested to know if the seat would fit the super meteor

[MTBrider]

Love Peashooter pipes. Wish they were on the Super Meteor.

[josefuncovsky]

When you sat on the motorcycle, the rear shock absorber is almost at the end, there is not much reserve for the suspension...

[cluelessgaming]

I still prefer 650 twins❤️❤️over any other 650 models
