I bought my Continental GT in the States, and spent a bit of money modifying it. I liked it so much, I shipped it to Ireland when I moved rather than start again.

Been living in India for the past 3 years now and knowing the latest in RE news is a plus.
There's a Classic and Scrambler version of the 650 twins currently undergoing testing, along with a Hunter version of the 450 Sherpa engine.

I ended up buying a Kawasaki in the US due to a lack of dealer support ( Columbia, Maryland). There are some dealers, but none even close to local. I've become aware of the popularity of RE motorcycles in the UK and agree that they are a great choice as an everyday riding motorcycle. My Kawasaki Vulcan S has more horsepower that I don't put to use, really, but has even less tech than the Shotgun does. My last Yamaha motorcycle didn't have a fuel gauge. The Kawasaki has two trip meters, a fuel gauge and a clock. Wow!

A friend has just returned from India & and the word on the street is definitely the clasic 650 & will be shown in late 2024/ early 2025 . India generally was happy with the 350, but the younger affluent wanted that extra power in the clasic style.

In the 80's BMW clocks suffered from condensation, they cured it by adding a small vent hole covered by a Gore-Tex membrane

I love all the different Royal Enfield styles and colours. The Army Green and Fluorescent colours are amazing. I find them all very refreshing indeed. I think they are a brave company that have slowed down all the technology and made their bikes appealing to all ages. Well done. Nice Vlog Kate. Thank you. Xx

[JohnLongdin]

One of the best looking bikes they produce in my opinion and it sounds a lot better than I expected. Refreshing that you can change the look so much, so simply. Great review as always!

My Continental GT didn't really start loosening up until it was past 2500 miles.
Not just the engine and box but the suspension too. It just became more supple and fluid .
I think most of the 650s are the same probably because they're relatively crude and solidly built (in a good basic way) and live up to the old strapline of Made Like a Gun.

Absolutely beautiful bikes the more you ride them the BETTER the engine gets. I love my Super Meteor 650 best bike I've ever owned, thanks to Kate's review, I fell in love with it.
Great review as always Katie 👏

Royal Enfield are literally on a roll nowadays. I can still remember it for being a brand that got the odd “just for laughs” test with the unavoidable comment that they tended to break down all the time. By now they have become the dream of many an ICE traditionalist.

Listening to you is a breath of fresh air.

What makes Royal Enfield great is that it took some major que's out of Honda's playbook. Like Honda has done with its 500cc class by building multiple different machines using that engine and frame and adding different subframe etc. RE have done this with the 650 and some with the 350 engine. The further they progress the quality of the bikes get better.

This going to be my first bike , love looks of it 👏👏👏😎

Nice video. What I like about my Shotgun is it lets me ride at whatever speed I want to go as opposed to my Z900 that wants to go fast all the time...

[timsatchell]

The next 650 will be a classic. Spy shots confirm this.
If RE want it to look as if it jumped out of the 50s, it will need to be maroon with a tucked in 2 into 1 exhaust.
They do a beautiful maroon Bullet on the US market. Really looking 50s ish.
Gr8 review btw.

I wasn't keen on the Shotgun when I first saw it, but it is growing on me. In the market for a second bike to go with my Scram within the next few months, so this will be on the list.

Another stellar review! RE is really covering the style market! I think their sale will go through the roof this year. Great video Kate! I can't wait for the next one and especially another Lillie video!
Ride SAFE and BE safe Lady! 👍👍

Goed morning from Belgium. Had a testride the other day. Loved it. I would have loved the dash from the himalayon on the shotgun with a rev counter. 9tyerwise love the sound of the exhausts. Good pricing. A winner

[winchesterstevebrook]

I really like the Shotgun, but I'm holding out to see if they bring out a 650 "Classic" to compare it to. Loved your review.

[TheHdleif]

You get a lot of motorcycle for the money on the Royal Enfield, it seems. Great vid as per usual Kate! Keep up the great work!
