I’m buying my first bike and was so conflicted between the Shotgun and Super Meteor, but this video has helped me realize that I still want the Super Meteor, I LOVE the look of the Shotgun, but I want the classic American look of the Super Meteor and the fact that it’s intended to be a cruiser. In a perfect world I would have both.

You won't be sorry, the Super Meteor really delivers, you'll love it. Royal Enfield have really excelled themself with this bike. Believe me I know I own four Royal Enfields and I love them all, but this bike is the pinnacle, just superb 😀🤩

I fell in love with the looks of the Interceptor, just stunning! But after I bought it I just didn't like the feel or the riding position, so I sold it. At that time I wasn't interested in the Super Meteor at all as I'm not into cruisers and that whole scene. But strangely after thinking about it for a few months I gradually got to like the looks of the Super Meteor more and more. So I ended up buying one and it is the best bike I have ever owned or ridden, I simply love it! But for me it was definately an acquired taste, but I am so very very glad I bought it, it's the ultimate touring machine 🤩😍😁

I own 2020 Interceptor Mark Three. After 1st season I modifide it. Put on it LSL Sixties handlebar, wider rear tyre, some parts from Tec, Baak blinkers and rear taillight and etc. Finaly got more sporty and comfortable position, but not so sharp as on Continental Gt. I like how it handling now, easy cornering, and with Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2 tyre set, I easily can turn in forest, and use country roads. Last year I tested Super Meteor and every time I tried to find foot pegs😂 Position similiar as you watching movie in the evening on your favorite sofa wile drinking mint tea with some bisquits😀 So I think, if you are tall, for example 180cm+ you can choose Shotgun650, replacing seat to SuperMeteors single!!! You will have same sporty position, with more beautyful silhouette, with these nice alloy wheels and sexiest Enfields rear mudguard!!!! Thats will be not expensive alternative of HD Sportster, and you can limitless modified this bike as well! So good luck to everyone, and remember only your own choice will be correct!!!👌

The best video comparison for real for sure! Thank you! As a SM 650 owner in Astral Black I added the RE Barend mirrors (highly recommended as with video. The vision behind is excellent!!) and converted to solo seat with the RE solo seat finisher. (Fender rack) Looks great stripped back! Despite Royal Enfield marketing, I have experienced the SM 650 as a brilliant commuter bike for riders who love a 60's (ish) style motorcycle. Very comfortable and relaxed. The forward controls are not as forward as some HD's I have ridden, so easy and comfortable to get along with. A smooth introduction to forward controls. Super smoth gear shifts and confidence inspiring rear brake control when needed. Front span adjustable brake, pulls the bike up with plenty. Perfect for a weekend ride for a few hours each way, but not sure I could enjoy the super touring miles! The output on the SM isn't at super performance level, however, absolutely for sure will at stop lights shoot you forward into clean air ahead of cars! Having ridden the Shotgun, love the single seat looks, I found the seat to be firm, the handling nice, but for me at 5'10 felt a little small for me in comparison. In this video, I think, both riders looked more in proportion (if that's important for looks) on the Super Meteor. Build quality and value for money on both bikes is awesome! Service intervals I wish were further apart! Not expensive but perhaps re-assure my confidence riding on a well serviced bike.🤔 Ride your own way, but both bikes will give you 'smiles for miles!'

I traded in a sportbike I didn't ride for a Super Meteor 650 Celestial late last year and just added the RE bespoke hard side bags. It's an enjoyable bike and my bum knee doesn't complain that it's bent too far to be comfortable like it did with the sportbike. This past May, the RE demo truck was at my local dealer (I'm in the US) so I took a test ride on the Shotgun. It's similar but different so kind of on the spur of the moment, and because the dealer was offering a discount on all REs in stock while the demo truck was there, I traded in a tall adv-like sport tourer for the dark gray Shotgun they had just gotten in. It's sportier handling than the Super Meteor. I love that RE 650cc motor. But I miss not having a windshield on the Shotgun especially when I take it out on the highway. So I'm currently looking for one for it. If you can't decide which one you like best, buy one of each. :)

I also like the leg position on the Shotgun where the pegs are mid set and your legs rest in the middle. With this you can also saddle every time there are bad roads with undulation and pot holes. You cannot saddle on the super meteor so every time there is a pot hole you have to remain seated and the jerk is felt straight to your back bones and it's painful. Even though it's good for good roads as you seat relaxed with your feet stretched up front.

Ive test ridden them both at a dealers myself, the Shotgun is great, but I wouldn't mind the Super Meteor with the Shotgun footrests on it , as I don't like forward footrests myself. I've weighed up the actual mounting points, they're on the same place on both frames, it doesn't look a difficult job to change them, just depends weather the cost of the footrests brackets and controls would be worth it?

Great video 👍👍👍 - I’ve been waiting for a comparison video! I was interested in a Super Meteor but local dealer only had a Shotgun demo available. Took it out to get an idea of the engine and instantly fell in love with it; now I’m conflicted about which to get! I’ve ridden cruisers in the past so have no problems with either fwd or mid controls but would have to see how much of a stretch the SM is as I’m 5’10” but short in the leg. I definitely prefer the SM colour choices over the SG but would need to see them in the flesh (so will probably wait for the NEC). I tested the blue SG and wasn’t a fan, it looked a bit cheap

I did a double-take, hehe, looks like one of my videos because you no doubt came from Colchester Kawasaki (EDIT: Oh no you didnt! hehe) and I ride around that region all the time. I tried the Super Meteor from there. As a Speedmaster rider I found it excellent, but feeling too 'modern'. Not as characterful and classic-feeling as my Speedmaster. Quite high revving like a modern engine. A bit too much of a 'normal' riding position. Those things, of course, are perfect if your used to modern mid-control bikes. An easy 'into' to cruisers. For me, though, it was too 'easy' hehe.
