Everytime I decide what RE I want, they come out with a cooler one in 6 months bruh

Was in San Diego a few weeks ago. I was surprised at dinner when my Marine brothers started talking about RE. These dudes are hardcore Adventure Bike dudes who've been all over the world. I guess I'm not the only one interested...

Classic 350 owner here. That's a Classic 650 if I ever seen one.

On Nov 4th I test rode the Super Meteor here in San Diego and put a deposit on one even though the rear shocks almost killed my back. After a few weeks of thinking about it I changed my mind and put a deposit on the blacked-out Int 650 and should be here sometime next month (February) God willing. As far as the Shotgun it is really a strange looking bike, they should have put a Tach instead of the tripper. Thanks for sharing. 😎

Ergonomics on this bike are superb for comfort and no back pain..suspension could be a little softer but other then that the bike is nearly perfect

[Chris-xcjr]

I do have one and I love it!! Got it because I wanted some kind of cruiser bike but still wanted to sit aggressive enough to get around corners without any problems. And that's exactly what this bike is!! I love to cruise it and just let the World around me appear like a good place but if I want to go fast and ride a little more sporty I CAN. Overall that thing just leads to me not being able to stop smilling while I'm having a ride. AND IT LOOKS AMAZING TO!

cant wait to buy a bike this year. lots of thanks for your videos, getting a z650 since i didnt really fit on the 400 bikes.

WE WANNA SEE YAMMIE IN A BLOOPERS FOR TRYNA POP THE FRONT WHEEL XD

[GoofusPlays]

Enfield is doing a great service for riders by introducing solid bikes at a reasonably price point. I think this is how we get more people into the sport, especially young people who can't afford to drop 10 or 20 thousand bucks on a bike

[irishtrash]

6:13 is the exact spot I had my accident a few years ago, before I won the bike, where my leg got pinned and shattered my tib/fib!

[jauken]

Bought a Scram 411 a little over a year ago, and I think the SG650 is going to be next.

[BMRTV]

10:50 Is a way to attach some leather saddle bags, I bet this things could do some short touring. Looks like a great machine.

Start watching this channel a few months back when I decided to buy my first motorcycle and when Royal announced the shotgun 650, I was really hoping you guys do a video on this bike. I'm super excited to have watched it eve. Thought im getting a classic 350 tbis weekend. I do plan on upgrading to the shotgun in a few year when they get the kinks out and i got the money to upgrade

[jashsylde]

wat I would do is get it looking like the concept shown. That muscular and angled silver head, bold wheel covers, custom paint job matching the concept. As far as I see, this bike's a blank canvas.

[kevinmcdonald]

An intelligent, informed, objective and useful review.

[BudoReflex]

Ridden both the interceptor and continental, neither really had what I want. Love the engine though. Predictable, lovely sound. This one has potential. Hopefully has that something I am looking for. Certainly has the looks,

[emmanueledallavecchia]

I have a meteor 350. It’s my first bike and I love it. The shotgun could very well be my next in some time! I think it’s a better evolution (to the meteor) than the super meteor

[spitfirefrench]

Love my interceptor and with a new open exhaust, new intake filter and fuel manager - it’s got a bit more kick

[oozlefinchoozlefinch]

I am pushing 68, I rode in my 20’s (Honda Hawk 400 and BMW R65) then got married, had kids, the bikes went away. Divorced, retired and moved to Mexico, second childhood kicked in, and now have a Royal Enfield Himalayan, ideal around town and in the country, but looking for something with more horsepower for the highway. I test road an Interceptor (it was not a good fit for me) and then a Shotgun 650. The SG 650 fit quite well, I was impressed, the suspension is a little stiff for the roads here in Mexico and we have “topes” or speed bumps all over the place that you have to deal with. I am not sure how much adjustment the rear suspension has in it, or what can be done to soften it. That is something I need to look into. I agree with what another guy said, " they should have put a Tach instead of the tripper".

The best ever RE! Great platform at a great price to play around with. Great review!
