[@BikeWaleOfficial]

[@AlberteZato]

No, the same engine with uglier shapes!!!!

[@goofy______5242]

Background music should be low volume 😂

[@Vishnu-B]

@BikeWaleOfficial, could you please O please give the link or the name to the background music used for the first half of the video?

[@doomguy2.0]

I love how laid back and detailed the review is, feels like I'm listening to somehow who actually knows and cares about the bike, in contrast to so many others that I've watched that have been all show and no real substance.

[@sans_1993]

Vikrant, I have to thank you personally for how you demonstrated the exhaust note. Basically, how it SHOULD be done. Take note fellow auto journalists! It is unlike any other KZbinr who straight-away revs the engine to the full to be done with the review. Thank you for teaching everyone how it's done gracefully.

[@martythemartian99]

Brilliant review as usual. Thank you Vikrant. 😊 The biggest plus for me with this new 650 is the seating position. It is near perfect. For an older rider like me, the Interceptor and Continental GT felt a little tight in the thighs, and the feet forward position of the Super Meteor was just a little unfamiliar for me, although I do think it is the best looking 650 RE have made thus far. I look forward to seeing one in the flesh. Preferably with a subtle colour scheme, and cloth saddlebags. 🤩

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Well said. Do check it out in person and let us know what you think.

[@NoBullFitness]

I’m still torn between the SM 650 and the SG 650. The SM is winning 70 to 30 because I’m in love with cruiser style motorcycles. But I learned riding on an endield bullet 500 in the Pindh. So this is closer to that bike, I’m not sure. I’m probably gonna end up with the SM650 but this is the best and most concise non biased review I’ve seen. In my honest opinion.

[@twowheeledparadox]

Nicely detailed yet concise review. The information on the behaviour of the front end is especially interesting. I wonder if the suspension on this bike could be better tuned within the bounds of its chassis' abilities while retaining its positive characteristics.

[@foreverDharma]

Wonderful comprehensive by Vikrant, enjoyed the details covered. Thanks

[@_abhimanyu.]

I think the Classic 650 might be the most comfortable (in terms of ergos) and practical option for the Indian roads. I hope RE does a better job in terms of rear suspension on the Classic 650.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

We'll find it out when it is launched towards the end of 2024.

[@almightyhimself9284]

vikrant & shumi are top G's of motorcycle journalism. really good.

Thank you for the appreciation.

Came from Gagan Choudhary’s video. He admired Vikrant’s riding so came here to see it!! Yes he was right!!!

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Thank you 🙏

[@samridhsk1419]

Slow riding dynamics are important in india rather than USA.better buy interceptor base model and with the money saved one can tube or modify the bije according to one's need as done by vikrant sir( host ) to his Deadpool ( interceptor 650).

[@vespaveloce1924]

Great review, very balanced. Thank you

[@FTStratLP]

Thanks for the very informative review. My only disagreement: the footpegs are not forward positioned at all. You can clearly see in this video, that the rider's knees are further forward positioned thank his ankles are.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

We have said that the footpegs are centre-set, and not forward-set like the Super Meteor 650.

[@ChiranjibSahooCottonUniversity]

I love how these aged guys give awesome reviews on motocycles.

[@platina4711]

Crisp n detailed as usual ❤

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@MTBrider26]

Love Peashooter pipes. Wish they were on the Super Meteor.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

We second that.

[@user-qq5kv2oq6x]

So the rear suspension of shotgun can be retrofitted onto the sm650 without affecting ground clearance?

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

It can be fitted. Check with RE's service centre to know if it affects the ground clearance.

[@TheFatalintention]

Yes, You can Buy a a yss 340mm suspensión and get rid of the horrible súper/Shotgun suspension

[@jayt2387]

@@TheFatalintentiongood to know. Any suggestions on where to find the exact one I would need for SM?

[@svaralen]

Lovely bike, do you think it Is beginner friendly as the first bike? Any bad vibrations or heat from the engine? And do you know to max load weight? Thanx ✌️

[@michaelreid2329]

Looks nice. It appears the exhaust is different from the Super Meteor and I'm wondering if the last short pipe extension us removable?

[@joshuathomas8529]

The downer to this over the super meteor is that it is not very adaptable to pannier racks. The super meteor seems to have fewer problems than the other two Royal Enfield 650's so this should also be a wonderful bike as long as you don't want to go on long overnight rides. I am a little biased because I am a super meteor owner. I did do lots of homework and verified that there are in fact super meteors out there without major problems at the 50,000 kilometers range. The shot gun dose come in better shade of green than the super meteor.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Well said.

[@ReverseWingover]

Watching the video the SG appears to have pillion footrests but only a solo seat. Given the SM & SG frame are the same is there a bolt on rear subframe which could be used for panniers? The small tank is the only downside from my perspective, I would have preferred a bit more fuel capacity.

[@Sankara561]

@@ReverseWingover MCN say (in the UK at least) the subframe and pillion seat are supplied with the bike, and you have to take them off to make it single seat.

[@ReverseWingover]

@@Sankara561Thanks, good to know. 👍

[@endlessgaming7501]

SG or SM which is better

[@arijitchief]

just needs a bigger handlebar and aftermarket rear suspension...and it is sorted...

[@josefuncovsky2274]

When you sat on the motorcycle, the rear shock absorber is almost at the end, there is not much reserve for the suspension...

[@zzush]

SM 650 looks really good as compared to shotgun.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

It's a cruiser, it will definitely look better than a bobber.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Okay

[@cluelessgaming1710]

I still prefer 650 twins❤️❤️over any other 650 models

[@narendrareddy2421]

Thank you for the review. SG is Not what we expected. They showed something and delivered something else. I waited for long and all time wasted. Priced high too. Disappointing RE.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Okay 👍

[@I_AM_RAZER]

This bike is good but gt650 still remains my most fav 650

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Okay

[@hariguduru]

I would love to have the new tft instrumentation of the Himalayan on the 650s.

[@AchimSpunkt]

@BikeWaleOfficial I wanted to buy the Super Meteor next spring, but I think the Shotgun is hot too. Do you know if luggage solutions are planned? Will there be accessories for forward controls? In principle, I would like to install the footrests and handlebars from the Super Meteor and then have a clever solution for luggage. Then it would be the Shotgun.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Then you should buy the Super Meteor 650 instead.

[@AchimSpunkt]

@@BikeWaleOfficial Thx for your answer. Appreciate it. Then I‘ll stick with the Meteor. I‘ll have a look at both when they are availlable next spring. Thanks

[@KennethEdwards-u7n]

SM 650 looks really good as compared to shotgun.. This Bike is a Beast Indeed .

[@S00rabh]

I hate the back. There is too much space between the mudguard and tyre, Looks like a skirt.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Okay

[@travellingison113]

Sir/madam could you provide me second hand honda h,ness in delhi delhi ncr

[@Ravichavalic]

So no need to wait for classic 650 ... I can upgrade to this from classic 350... Nice review though vik.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Unless the Classic 650's suspension setup is even better tuned than this one, you can definitely go for the Shotgun 650.

[@BikeWaleOfficial]

Okay.

[@solomarvel2681]

Wow this bike amaze me love it 🥰 ❤

RE should work on its new exhaust design in 650 series. This old design looks ugly. Should be like Harley 750 complete cylindrical

But that rocks in the sky are hotter than guns
