Have Royal Enfield Hit The Target? [SHOTGUN 650 Review]

Channel Partners:

Have Royal Enfield Hit the target, Or have they missed? This new RE Shotgun 65o takes aim right at Harley Davidson with the gap they left in the market when they discontinued the Evo Sportsters. Those bikes had oodles of character and charm.

Royal Enfield seem to be doing a good job at filling that gap with the super meteor 650, but does the shotgun live up to its brother? In todays video I find out. I go into detail on the power, handling, engine, feel, sense of occasion, stopping power, styling and more...

You just did a SOLID for Royal Enfield with this review.

I've watched a couple dozen shotgun reviews & came away ABOUT THE BIKE !

Not here man. The way you present a motorcyle in all aspects ;
The optics
The choice of words
And of course wrap it up in the way cool Darcy style 😎

Spot on brother, I'm impressed again on this channel AND I actually like this machine.

I, m 74 and been riding since I was 16. I had 45 years of Harley’s and loved every minute of ownership. A big decision I decided to downsize I went for the RE super meteor 650 and absolutely love it. It does everything I need from a bike and it’s not intimidating for an old timer. Great channel.

When even Honda starts copying you, you are doing something utterly cool. Good job RE

Went into my local dealer for a browse, left as the owner of a shotgun, coming from big capacity sports & tourers I wondered if I’d miss them, nope! bags of character, the style & ergo’s great, handling was surprising, smiles for miles, exactly how riding should be, simple & fun, Haven’t had that in years!

i want to buy every model of Enfield's they all seem to be such a lovely bikes to ride hopefully this spring i'll have one.

I am anticipating the Shotgun coming to the Western United States. I'm particularly enamored with the Stencil White paint option. The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 will be my next bike ;-)

Thanks in helping me decide on my new bike - it will be the Shotgun (have to test ride it before, but man - the looks! the price! the ability to customize!)

The reason why RE is so good is because they actually have years and years of experience from improving by listening to bike riders and lovers.

I have had my Shotgun less than a week, and it just keeps growing on me more and more. It's a "modern retro" done right. All the charm of an old school bike, but with EFI and modern electricals, tubeless wheels and tires instead of spokes and tubes, and a great chassis/suspesion. People probably won't believe me, but having ridden an Interceptor for several days last year, and now my Shotgun, the Shotgun handles/feels better on nice curvy back roads.

I'm an Interceptor owner, but love the look of the Shotgun. And the blue is gorgeous, as you said. Some nice instruments too, which seem like an upgrade to those on my bike.

There are so many things I love about my RE, one of them is the simplicity and that I can do all the servicing on the bike on my own and still have warranty. I have a GT 650 in a few years I would not be surprised if the Shot Gun would be my next bike. I love the Blue and yellow the bike looks and sounds really nice. love it.

I think this is the best looking Royal Enfield they have made so for, I really enjoy your real world reviews 👍 so many bike channels think everyone is a racer, and faster is better!? This is a really dangerous way to sell and promote bikes ! Like you say, bikes are about character and how they make you feel ! Great work 👍

This comes with a center stand … beats HD in that alone … 🎉

I watched because I love the way you and your father review bikes. It helps that your cinematography and backdrop are amazing.

This is the third vlog I've watched on this new RE and everybody is raving about it. I must agree if I was able to afford one it definitely would be in that shade of blue. Great vlog, well done, ride safe 🤓

I really love everything Royal Enfield has made so far in the last 6 years. They really offer something for everyone and for a fair price no less.
Am also a big fan of the focus of smaller cc engines as I think the trend has been a bit to much "bigger is better".

[SimonPass]

Amazing time to be a motorcyclist. I'm 57 and when I was a teenager it was Japanese or something else if you were rich. The choice these days is unbelievable. Never been a cruiser biker but this or a Triumph Bobber just appeals in my cruiser years!

[vincesacca]

I've heard nothing but positive reviews, on this new bike from Royal Enfield. For me it's a lovely bike. The price is unbeatable. They are building attractive styling motorcycles that the people can afford to buy...And the engine on the bike is bullet proof. Quality, finish and value. That's hard to find in the world today. This company is very conscience in building brand loyalty in my opinion and its sales are a result of just that. I would like to try one of these 650 Shotgun motorcycles. I have a good feeling one would be parked in my garage.

I've got a Classic 350 and love it so much....

I was initially hesitant, but that bike is growing on me, especially in that blue.
