With the famous 648 cc parallel-twin powering the show, Alex tests the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 - and with a fairly budget price, is it a budget bike - or does it outperform its fairly modest spec sheet? It could be the perfect cruiser motorcycle for an A2 rider!

I don’t know why most UK based riders would even think they want or need anything bigger than this. The whole country is basically a day ride. The roads are mostly slow. This is a perfect bike for it.

Some people see it ugly, some people see it beautiful, and I see a good upgrade for my HNTR 350 ~

How good do these look. Definitely another step up for RE

I'm taking my msf course in two weeks and I'm seriously considering this bike as my first bike. I LOVE they styling of this bike

@DarrenPitt-w6s 21 день назад

Hi can I ask how tall you are, I'm consider the shotgun 650 and at 6’4 wondering if it will be a good size for me. Thanks.

@VespaGTSiskiller 16 дней назад

I love the color of that red and white one

@michellewilson8845 29 дней назад

Great looking bike, bit pricey though. Great videos good mix of riding shots and static shots

@christopherpekel6096 22 дня назад

You seen the prices of the more expensive brands new models? Everything is going up a lot

@paulsymonds820 Месяц назад

Did you clip the pegs around the bends? Great looking bike and good review.

@BikeMatters Месяц назад

A few times, yeah. Once the hero blobs are skimmed down you'll be alright! Glad you enjoyed the video.

@nigelcb1300 День назад

Not sure about the colour options compared to the super meteor but otherwise lovely, Sadly stopped riding now but I would have loved one these

@davidcoleman4941 3 дня назад

Hi from Australia, I've owned a Super Meteor and found the seat painful on rides, in your opinion how does the Shotguns seat feel when compared to the Super Meteors.

@drdoolittle5724 Месяц назад

I want to like it but to me a cruiser is a feet forward jobby! Any idea if feet forward controls will be available?

@Rayraysplums Месяц назад

You need the super meteor

@donovandale7077 Месяц назад

I like the standard foot control position, they have forward controls on the super meteor version of this bike. Although, as forward controls go, they are pretty tame.

@EveraldoBezerra Месяц назад

These types of bikes always have a bunch of accessories from third-parties, so yeah, probably at some point someone is gonna start selling forward controls.

@BikeMatters Месяц назад

Super Meteor 650 would be the best bet - great bike, too.

mám šedivou a je super.

@g_rr_tt 19 дней назад

would this be a bad choice for a 1st ever motorcycle?

@BikeMatters 17 дней назад

As long as you're steady with the bike as you get to grips with it, this would make an ideal beginner's bike. Just be steady with the torque, it's surprising!

@drpancake4103 8 часов назад

Just that plastic headlight looks like tupaware

@jamesnoonan7450 Месяц назад

Is it too heavy for a new pass, A2 rider ??

@BikeMatters Месяц назад

You'd soon get used to the weight, but just be extra steady when moving it around by hand - you'll be fine!

@AZQ891 4 дня назад

You’ll notice the weight taking it on and off centre stand, especially with full tank. Found the easiest way to take it off, just by sitting on bike at rocking it back and forwards. (With side stand down for safety). Their is a knack to putting it on centre stand, which you do get used to.

@skaraborgcraft 19 дней назад

120 miles per tank is NOT little to no fuel.

@BikeMatters 17 дней назад

Fair point, but it's not quite the consumption figure quoted by Enfield. I'd personally hope for more from a 650cc twin. But that's just me.

@skaraborgcraft 17 дней назад

@@BikeMatters Fair comment, it sounds worse than my 1991 Honda 650 Revere v-twin, if so, so much for injection and low emissions.

@deanletter335 15 дней назад

How many miles are on your test bike? Sometimes the fuel economy improves as the engine wears in. I have a BMW R1200 that consistently gets over 50 miles per gallon. I would expect more from a lighter bike.

@PlagueKing_LordFalix Месяц назад

Am I the only person who thinks dual exhausts look stupid on motorcycles? The bike is awesome, but those damn dual exhausts turn me off.

@donovandale7077 Месяц назад

I like the look of dual exhaust, but I'm not a fan of how these splay out at an angle. I'm hoping that the dual exhausts on the classic version of this bike run out straight with the body line.

@UltronX Месяц назад

Ofc they look good but need to be properly aligned with the vehicle

@EveraldoBezerra Месяц назад

I'm with you in this. In Brazil there are some guys that sell a unified dual > one exaust for the INT650, which looks awesome. When I buy my sg650, that's probably the first thing I'm going to change. These dual exausts also weight a lot.

@deanletter335 15 дней назад

Depends on the bike.
