Glad to help :)

Appreciate you watching and dropping a comment!

Hmmmn could be … but as the sportster of that particular year can take 430ish lbs for passenger weight …. I would’ve been completely fine at like 215 at the time :) hell I ended up riding a Honda Rebel 300 and I know the sportster can handle more than that lol 😂 and never had any issues. I appreciate your thoughts though. And Yes there probably are better bikes for bigger people but it’s completely capable.

@ maybe a 1200 sportster and if that’s just the shock weight. But with your size and frame, the positioning of your body is the unsafe part. But when you say sportster, a lot of people think the little 883.

@ I understand what you’re saying I just feel as if capable is not safe or enjoyable but you’re 100% right when you say it’s capable. But so are the tricycles the Bears ride at the circus. You do you brother keep the shiny side up

@@Yeti-v7q hahahaha true true!!!!! You too my friend :) appreciate it.

Ha yeah maybe so :) he still had a really nice truck though so IDK 🤷‍♂️

Totally Luke!!! Which color do you like the best?

Nice dude…. Yes I probably should’ve 😊 Thanks for sharing your personal experience :)

Thanks buddy! Appreciate the support!

Depends. The Shotgun is a bike you can easily do the maintenance on…. Including if something went catastrophic… the scout is just a far less forgiving or accessible design to do any serious wrenching on. You’ll get more power with the scout but also more weight. That’s great on the highway but honestly the shotgun is plenty on the highway and the weight is perfect not to let you get thrown around. Shotgun is a more maneuverable bike and has better suspension including those upside down front forks which are amazing. The scout hits hard on bumps….Anti lock breaks are standard on the shotgun which I believe you still have to add them to the scout so extra $$ and the shotgun is just far easier to jump on and go or just turn around/ move around the garage….. stylistically it’s kinda a matter of taste…. The scouts fit and finish is pretty superb but the shotgun is fine as well just not quite as dialed in cosmetically….. I’ve kinda grown to like it looking a little rougher than the scout. Not to mention if you buy a shotgun new you get a 3 year unlimited mile full factory warranty…. And I’m pretty sure if you are financing it you can get some amazingly low interest rates through royalties Enfield if you get a 22 or 23. At least that’s what it is on most of their bikes. :)

Thanks from the heart for your reply!😃 The weight is the same. The Shotgun in Portugal costs 7682.00 Euros, almost half the price than the Scout Sixth Bobber that costs 14,000.00 Euros.😔 In Portugal we cannot do the maintenance at home, otherwise we lose the warranty.😞 I'm going to buy the bike in cash, because thank God I don't need to ask for credit. In Portugal, interest rates on installment purchases are very high!🤯 Right now, I'm between the Shotgun 650 and the Fantic Caballero Scrambler 500...😌

@ absolutely no problem dude! I love chatting with people from around the world it’s so cool. 😎 I personally would get the shotgun over the Scout…. I have the scout and it’s an amazing machine and a very beautiful one as well but there was something really magical about riding the shotgun it just made me feel really happy :) reach back out with anymore questions and let me know what you end up with :) blessings

Bro, Thank you very much for everything from the bottom of my heart and Sorry for my English!😃 If you need anything from Portugal, please tell me!😉 I will try both and then I tell the one I choose - there is 1 or 2 more to be launched there I'm curious about...🤔 May God Bless You and Yours Richly and Greatly and until soon if He wants!🤗

@manueldiaspereira8347 thanks man appreciate that :)

Thanks for sharing Joe. Sounds like you have some sweet bikes :)

That’s awesome!!!! Check back in and let me know your thoughts :)

Good to know. What bikes have you found that work well for people of your height?

Thanks dude! Appreciate it. Nope I’m 6.2 as well fits me super comfortably!

Thanks for the support!

That’s awesome David! Glad you got the bike you love dude!!!! And I am a total fan of buying used…. Your $$$$$ goes so much further and you usually end up with all the upgrades for free!!!!! Love the Lowrider S dude!

@@FASTLANEMOTO thanks 🙏 man

Wow that’s cool dude! Interesting to hear someone’s inside look into it.

@@FASTLANEMOTO I assume he went to the York PA Plant.. Totally Disorganized. They have cleaned up their Manufacturing act many times over since then. I recently watched a video on the Ski-Doo Snowmobile plant in Quebec. Everything is State of the Art. They are very aware of their History. They keep adding buildings to the original 2 bay shop they started with. I noticed the workers were working at a rather slow leisurely pace. Union Workers were not Hustling very much. It sounds like CF Moto of China is going to purchase Arctic Cat from Textron. I think the reason that HD closed their new Modern Factory in Kansas City at a cost of $400 Million to close it is because of the Union Labor issues.

That’s awesome dude! I can say this…..I have a 2019 Indian Scout Bobber…is it a beautiful and powerful bike yep it is….but if I was choosing between that and the Shotgun today…..I’d buy the shotgun…..without a doubt……it just so much more nimble …still has plenty of power…. Is heavy enough to take it on the highway and will easily do those highway speeds ….and for thousands of dollars less….. take the extra $$$ and buy yourself all the coolest gear you want for riding :) Cheers 🍻

Thanks for the advice man. And appreciate the 👍 like.

@@FASTLANEMOTO Thanks for not being offended. Everyone gets so butt hurt theses days. I just finished watching this video of course and it was good !! You have sold me on this bike because my biggest concern was will it go 75 or 80 when I need it too. P.S. The music was less overbearing still sucks to me LOL since you look like a real rocker or head banger. Keep up the good work I have now subscribed.

@@njt4253 hahaha thanks man… yeah I’ve been in several bands over the years none of which ever went anywhere ..lol….yeah dude this bike will do 90 with ease. And in total honesty it just handles so easily that it’s really a joy to ride….waaaaaay easier to push around the garage as well than my Scout Bobber is….. and I think it’s only like maybe 20- 30 lbs lighter … which is wild. I’m really missing the bike…..gotta try and pick one up. The price is just so reasonable for what you get as well that’s it’s crazy! 🤪 Hope you have an awesome weekend dude. Thanks for the Sub very much appreciated.

Ha!

Thanks for sharing Dude. Appreciate your perspective as you obviously have 1st hand experience.😎👍

Great questions. First thank you so much for watching …I love hearing from people like you from all over the world it’s so cool :) Your heavy traffic compared to ours in the states is pretty different….from what I’ve seen in videos ..so I’m not sure if I can answer accurately … here’s what I can say….. my commute to work is about 10 miles and the speed tops at 40 mph….. the traffic is two way single lane and not very heavy so it’s a really easy commute. I have had the bike on the freeway as you saw and had it upwards of 90 mph it absolutely zips in and out of traffic in those setting perfectly. As far as very dense traffic such as you experience I really wouldn’t know if it would be great for you or not. I do think it’s a really maneuverable bike. It’s just such an easy bike to ride and from what I’ve heard pretty much the easiest bike to flick around in Royal Enfield lineup :)

Awesome dude! Yep I miss it since I had to give it back to RE. I may have to buy one :)

How has the Shotgun 650 been doing?

@@manueldiaspereira8347 well Manuel it was just a loaner from Royal Enfield that I was given to review for about 3 months. So it’s back with them now and I’m sad 😞 I LOVED that bike it is super solid and a really capable machine that will do around town or the highway with ease. And it looks amazing doing it. The manager where they had me turn it in has been riding it as his daily commuter and absolutely loves the bike as well. I’d take one in a heart beat 😊👍

Thanks for sharing that info man :) Happy Friday to ya!

Thanks for sharing Will! Who in their right mind would tell a 6.6 man he was riding a girls bike?????!!!!!😂

@ never underestimate how dumb some people can be lol they will always surprise you

@williammorgan5987 ha so true!

Hmmmn I’d have to see what you’re talking about…. Can you send a picture of the issue to [email protected]?

Sorry man that was just me misspeaking…DOH! We also call it the Interceptor but it can’t be badged that in the U.S. I guess because Honda owns the rights in he U.S….. at least that’s my understanding.

Thanks for watching.

Yeah I know…lol 🤦‍♂️

Absolutely!!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THAT BIKE !!!!! Probably the thing I’m most excited about with its release is all the extended cables and electronics that will now be available for customizing the other 350’s….. I’ve been wanting to g to do a custom 350 meteor for awhile and I k we o e of the hardest parts was going to be tying to locate the extended cables!!!!!

Wow 750 maybe 😎that would be pretty sweet!

@FASTLANEMOTO there is mention of 750 or 850 cc engine. We'll see

You can already buy full kits to upgrade the engine to 750 or 860cc. Hitchcocks in England.

Ooooh nice 👍

Yeah I know 🤦‍♂️

Awesome Paul!!!! That’s super exciting dude! Which one are you getting?

@ toss up between the TWO FOUR NINE or the WILD HONEY variant.

@Paul-g4v1f nice dude!

Right on thanks for sharing! 😎

Good point dude! There’s just something that Royal E is capturing that sparks ⚡️ like childhood memories for me…… and I’m certain it’s gotta be cool to be younger than me and to be able to go out and essentially buy a bike that so captures the 60’s/70’s and even earlier…. And at such a reachable price point…… I mean there are brand new 350’s for sale end of the year for like $2899 …. Of course closer to $3500/$3900 with all the fees and such but still….. it’s made a world a younger person can easily step into or if your older and always wanted that classic bike it’s reachable and easier to convince say your wife because it’s so inexpensive….. and to walk out into the garage everyday and see this beautiful machine that’s now yours….how cool is that :) yeah man I’m with you I absolutely love RE. Thanks for sharing dude!

You got my sub with your response. I just do not get why simple has not been understood in the last two decades. We have gone past most peoples expectation of knowledge. Better doesn't mean better. I like things that work. Not having to tend to it every day or week. I like we have got fuel injection and carbs are the past. But 20k bikes are for the few today. And the ones that buy them dont use it. I have a 500 dollar watch... why my first wife got it for me is mind blowing. But it doesnt tell me time. It needs to be worn every day and in the sun.... give me simple and it works. Then make shit for people that want to flaunt it. Lol😊​@@FASTLANEMOTO

Amen 🙏

We call them Allen Wrenches but yeah it’s a hex key

I would say mine was pretty tight as well

Thanks for the support Shawn!
