Hey Everyone,
I hope you are well!
I had great fun riding this bike! It turned out to be a bit of a lil bimble but hopefully I can get back out on it on some crazy roads soon!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 testrode one like this today! Same colour! And that one had 2into1 S&S downpipes from a the other 650's and an S&S endcan. Sounded wonderful! And actually made the engine "healthier" according to the owner. I used to have a Triumph Speedmaster 865cc with 68bhp and I must say, this Shotgun feels (at least with those pipes) quicker. If someone handed this bike to me, not knowing size or power, I would never guess it's a 650 with 48bhp. I would say less...no! Just joking! This is a really good bike! Thank you!

I enjoyed the vlog. I hope you do a follow up when your time with the bike is up. I took one out on a very short demo ride last month and hope to get on one again at the end of this month when the RE demo truck will be at my local dealer. The lack of wind protection (windscreen) for it is almost a deal breaker for me. I have a Super Meteor 650 Celestial Blue. I think the Shotgun would be a nice stablemate but the stumbling block is the lack of a windscreen as I ride on US highways a lot.

Royal Enfield basically took a shotgun to the market with two cost effective cruisers. This bike really surprised me it rides better than it should. I mean it corners well and is just a joy to ride around I was having a lot of trouble deciding between this and the interceptor. I chose the interceptor in the dark colour scheme the gold as I wanted more diversity and I had a Harley 883 Iron 2017 for a while wanted to move to a more sit up and beg seat (back issues)

Harley and Sportsters in the 1950'swere HD's dirt bikes. Some company gives you a bike for a week or a month and you rave about it like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Lets see when these bikes have 50,000 miles on them what they are like. Vintage British motorcycles were made to be serviced and rebuilt by the rider and lasted the test of time. Today's motorcycles are a collection of government regulations on 2 wheels as well as being disposable.

I really like the looks of this bike and would probably keep it stock if I was to buy one. I have ridden the Interceptor, the Meteor 350, and the Himalyan/Scram 411 quite a bit, so I feel confident it being a great bike. This is the most Sportster looking Royal Enfield so far. I wold go for the Green Drill, or perhaps the Sheet Metal Grey.

Nice one Kate. A great clear review of a bike that I confess didn't know that much about. The only bike that I've owned that I can loosely compare to this one is a Yamaha MT03 650 single thumper I had in the noughties. That had similar power but was pretty light. It was brilliant on the twisties and hills with plenty of torque and a shorter wheelbase but could get a tad tiresome at constant motorway speeds. I've owned other bikes twins with similar power decades ago and they were better for motorways but needed some more cog swapping to make progress. I like the idea that you can have it single or two seats with a rack though. Back in my twenties bikes were my only transport as well as fun they so needed a modicum of practicality as well so having something to chuck some bags over or tie to a rack would always be a good option say if you are going away for some days and didn't want to smell like a hippo's toothbrush. Personally I see no excuse for condensation in the clocks these days. Oddly the only bike that I've owned that had this issue was my MT03 that was on its third set of clocks under warranty before I sold it. All my other bikes and there have been many had no issues even going back to the 80's including one of the very last Triumph Bonneville 750 T140V's. Many thanks for sharing. I look forward to your thoughts on the bike after you've had more time with it.

I'm really into these Modern Retro bikes, or whatever the correct classificastion is. It also pleases me to see you on another "retro classic", as I think the corresct term is. Yes, of course you most probably like the Triumphs better, as they are are a bit "meatier" if that's a word, delivering you more of the power and performance that you need to satisfy your riding style. Fantastic colour, a good review and with my 32" inside leg length, probably a good fit for me. Unfortunately, I don't think i've ever seen one yet in the dealers in my neck of the woods! You wrote above, it turned to be, " a bit of a lil bimble"...., that Kate, is surely exactly what one does on a bike like the Shotgun?

Hi nice review, Am from India, I have both the Super Meteor, and the recently got the same bike the Drill Green Shotgun , am over 6 feet feet but I have never experienced any lower back pain etc ( and am over 40). At the price point in India, one cannot expect what both these bikes offer. RE is always improving and I have their Interceptor, the GT and the single cylinder Signal series and the newly launched Bullet even those are fantastic leave alone the twin cylinder, yes the only thing is one needs to put RRP performance exhaust and a performance air filter of choice and they transform their performance by leaps and bounds!

Not even having preload on the front is a huge miss. You don't need upside down forks. Do right side up forks to save money and include adjustable cartridges in the front forks. Rear is easy to upgrade on your own. Not a ton you can do to fix the front as they currently are configured and sold

This one looks more of a roadster riding position. I prefer the cruiser looks of the Super Meteor. There's a few of them knocking around North Wales now. Quite dinky (small) but nice-looking and comfy I suspect. Good for Sunday afternoon pottering but I can't see any serious riders buying them. Plenty of bigger, better secondhand bikes around at the same money for them. Speaking about metrics, as you were, I reckon most people understand torque better in pounds/foot rather than newton/ metres. Manufacturers prefer the latter because they're bigger- sounding numbers.

I love the fact that RE don't have all this "tech", the simplicity of the RE is it's charm, I mean, do we need all this "tech" anyway?, i for one i don't, But i am from the seventies. RE are great bikes, i'm pleased they're giving the new bikes more power, the 350s and the 400 engine just don't have enough top end to get you out of trouble, I would not do motorways on their smaller machines. but the new 450 engine is a real plus. Great review Katie 👍

Personally I think that making a bike without a tachometer is cutting the tech too low. Also, I don’t know how much tech went into the Interceptor fuel gauge, but it wasn’t enough. Only has about 8 bars, and it can’t make its mind up with an error margin of 2 bars. So if you pass a petrol station at 3 bars, you know that next time you start the bike you could have anywhere between 1 and 5 bars of fuel. Do you fill up? Because you are somewhat between almost empty and more than half full.

Would go with the Shotgun over the Super Meteor 650 or vice versa?

They just need add the lineup with something of around 65 to 70 hp and that would be golden

There are poss 5 bike scheduled for this engine, but having ridden the 450 himalayan is a very vibey engine. Not sure if it would suit more Road biased bikes.🤔

personally I think they need to update the conti and the interceptor with USD front suspension, and other little tid bits to compete with the triumph 400s before coming out with another model surrounding the 650. because honestly it feels like they've forgotten those two bikes after giving it the switchgear of the super meteor.

Kate, Steve here in New Hampshire. Not gonna lie. I have been really trying NOT to spend time on these You Tube videos of yours. But Kate. Here you have me. Here there is fbMP. I think you all have this stuff too. You know On that Mark Bugglebirg fb stuff. Anyway here in New Hampshire. It's the local town registration Kate. No title? No keys? No Problem. Get a VIN and a bill of sale and your all set for a licence plate. So yea. Three bikes Kate. I am a mess. Three bikes. A cb750 (95'), TWO Bandits ~ A 1200(98')~ and A 600(02'). Well Kate you know, time to get off the internet. Don't you think? But Kate. This bike. Well now. I'm talking with the Indians at the package store about their Himalaya's back home in India. but here, The Shotgun. I love this bike. Thank you Kate, This is just great. Thank you for your distraction from my "good trouble." 😜

I'm disappointed the running gear only comes in all black and is a major turn off. I've decided I'll give my black and cream 2020 Classic 500 the Hitchcocks 612 upgrade instead.

Not my scene, but those Enners 650 motors are an excellent unit As for Intercepter aftermarket cans, I have found the Powerage stainless items pretty fruity. Far as im aware they're 47 hp, 1 hp makes a huge difference 🤔😆😆
