What the heck kind of intro was that 😂😂😂
I definitely thought my iPad speakers we’re playing up 😂
LOLZ! My mouth dropped open and stayed that way for the first few minutes of the video
The lad has a proper sense of humour! most of these bike channels are way too serious.
Good job he tweaked his voice though....
With some of his theories I'd believe it was his actual opinion
Had to reboot my buds two times due to perceived bad signal. Brilliant !
Intro by Stuart Fillingham age nine and three quarters…
I half expected him to start singing "We represent the lollipop guild, the lollipop guild!"
I thought something was wrong with my speakers 🔊🤣
Same here 😂
They should leave off the graphics. Nice solid colors with a set of classic RE badges on the tank and let the customer do whatever customizing they want.
I keep saying the graphics are ugly. This bike should ship blacked out and plain. Badges are enough embellishment.
Completely agree 100%. The bike in the video isn’t so bad but some of the other colors have way to much going on. I like my machines stripped down and lawyering over the stickers prevents removing them without causing issues.
I'm guessing a future 650 Classic will be very, very similar to the Shotgun, with traditional detailing and chrome.
Imagine the bike in bright metallic red, blue, yellow, green etc
Morning Stuart, Royal Enfield does actually make our world go round! 🙌👍😉
May it well continue to do so !
Cheers Mel 🍻
I saved this to watch after work today (Friday treat). I sat down with a glass of Drambuie and quickly realised I'd gone mad or road fumes had poisoned me. Then I heard the comment about the world turning under the bike and, "I'll get me coat". Good one stewart. Love the videos
GORGEOUS.
I want one in maroon red.
Me too
Designers usually agree that less is more. Its what you do with the less that's the real test. They have certainly passed this time and the compact simplicity of this bike is heartwarming.
Ahh Les Ismore... I knew him...
Do you do Haribo adverts too? 😉 - great video!
The only thing I don't like is the decals, I think it cheapens the look. I will possibly own one of these and if I do, I will sand the decals away and repaint. This one will work on American highways.
🤣Excellent intro! made me choke on my cornflakes!
hi, i also would love to fit this in a bullet category rather than bobber or crusier but there is a bullet 650 comming already spied testing lot of times
I love the look of the shotgun 650 and it is stacked with some really well thought out mod cons such as that removable pillion seat. I hope they produce some more inspiring colour options and I wish that usb port was up on the handlebars. Nice to charge your phone whilst you use it as a sat nav. Anyway,
thanks for the content, always really great. Your classic 350 vids have kept me going whilst I wait for mine to be delivered on the 28th of this month.
It looks great but I've got a super meteor and before that I had the GT continental. My wife will hit the roof if I get a new bike.
Waterwheel powered!! Don't give the government lackies more eco ideas Stu.
Uncle Stu reaches the parts other reviewers don't!
So... I would call it a bobber simply because it looks great without the rear seat and rack, so far I've heard that the seating position is pretty square, not like the Meteor.
If I had to get my hands on one, all I'd really change is the intake and exhaust, as usual, and I'd try replacing that tripper pod and Speedo with the Interceptor units.
LOL I love this channel, its like a box of chocolates. You never quite know what your going to get but you always enjoy it. Top sense of humor sir, that intro was classic. Then you keep your word and give us all the details the generic channels have completely missed, Thank You!
Man the graphics are ugly on this bike. Even this blacked out model. RE should’ve stuck with the retro theme that’s worked so well thus far. Those circa 2001 “EXTREME!!!!” graphics look totally out of place on this motorcycle. And look at that gap between the tank and the tree. As well, the design cues are a mash-up of vintage and modern, which gives the impression that the designers and engineers had only a vague overall vision for this bike. The bike can’t decide what it is, and it’s definitely not a Bullet. Complete fail. Heavens but do I hate this design.
Great intro! 😂. I really want to like this model. The tripper is a bit gimmicky for me. I dont see the need. The excessive weight is what really concerns me. Why in the world is it so much heavier than the interceptor? I have seen a couple of videos where the interceptor out paces the shotgun by a large margin. That being said. I could probably get a decent used interceptor and spend for upgrades to attain similar riding triangle as my circumstances would afford. The interceptor weight can be reduced as well. Thus would provide even greater power to weight ratio. The dimensions if the shotgun are very close to the interceptor and classic 500. I cant wait for your in depth review and comparison to the interecptor. There has been some discussion about seat comfort and the short rear shock travel. Information and pics are leaking about a classic 650 in 2025. But if the weight is still that much above the interceptor it will be a deal killer. I think topping the interceptor is going to be a difficult challenge. The interceptor makes better use of the 650 power plant. But hey its just my humble opinion.
A very impressive motorcycle indeed the more I see of these the more I like them😊
It's kind of fills the void left by the disappearance of the traditional HD Sportster. It looks American and Sportster like.
RE have done it for me again in as much as they've interested me in a style of bike which I probably wouldn't usually consider.
I own a Continental GT 650 and if it wasn't for this and the Interceptor I wouldn't have been looking at air cooled middleweights.
In terms of the platform ejecting subscribers....if you've spoken out or voiced concerns about certain agendas and policies since, say, March 2020 then this is what they do. I've experienced the same. People keep having to resubscribe.
I think the people that like the totally blacked out look don't actually like riding motorcycles, they just like owning the "look." Sorry, I don't find it appealing. It needs contrast. Black is hard to keep clean and can't be polished. It shows every rain drop that hits it.
You go out in the rain?🤔😅 Respect.✌️😉
Good morning Stu. Have you been eating Haribo. lol. Good video. I look forward to the reviews on this bike. I liked the concept bike when it was first shown a couple of years ago at the NEC but I think the bike has been improved since then.
Morning Stuart,, what’s going on with the sound on the latest blog, it sounds like you are about 5 years old😂
Shotgun small stepping stone to the new classic 650
Yes, essentially the same but with more "traditional" wheels, lamp/instruments etc. Waiting.....
@simontilbey coming
@simontilbey Google's your friend; Plenty of spy shots of it during testing. Even more Bullet-like than this bike.
@simontilbey it will be coming its RE they tend to launch 3-4 motorcycle with 1 engine and part sharing plus they have officially said they will be launching 1 motorcycle every 3-6 months so this is done coming Aug sept it will be classic 650, we have seen bike testing in India looks similar just with a single long seat and few other changes next bike will be scram 450 sharing with new himalyan 450
@simontilbey They've registered the name too. Classic 650 Twin.
Where do the hamsters go? I always thought they had a part to play inside the motor... 🤣
I'm supposed to be relaxing, now I'm confused😀
I'm only 25 seconds in and I thought WTF are you doing Stuart lolol I'm going to watch the rest on my Big screen television lol
Great intro , thought your partner had finally got revenge for spending more time with bikes than with her!!!! Ps bike looks great.
A great looking bike and dark grey is my favorite color. Why they don’t put the USB charging port on the handle bar escapes me completely
I think Shotgun would look very beautiful with Super Meteor rear mudguard. Closer to Classic models.
Add the clocks from the gt/int too?
I think of all the reviews I've seen about this bike, you've hit the nail square on the head, it's the modern Bullet........but why do I still want a 500 single Bullet? Yes this is " THE MODERN BULLET" but I still hanker after that single ploddy bike. I realise that Enfield have moved with the times for the youth of today, and this bike is lovely, I'm sure you will agree however if you want a Bullet you want a Bullet. I'll have to wait and see if Royal Enfield bring out a 500 Bullet again. If not I'll have to settle for a 350😢
Love the Looney tunes intro
I consider myself to be a bit of a Royal Enfield fan boy, but I don’t like the way they do graphics with the decal, obviously extending beyond the graphic itself. It just looks cheap. And while this may be petty, it matters.
Have a look at the Jawa Perak 350, in style more of what I would like for the ShotGun/Bullet 650. Sure, can exchange the wheels and other parts, but why not offer immediately.
You fkin confused me with my headphones. I had to check YT setting for FF or speed.
Why all painted? My immediate thought is that it will comply with the EU ban on the use of chrome.. Looking forward to your views on how it performs Stuart.
You bl###y comedian. Thought my phone was broken.🤣🤣
Love this…the 1st minute review reminded me of some actual reviews out there! 😂
Got the opportunity to sit on the Shotgun for the 1st time yesterday & the grey 1 as shown here did look great.
Can’t wait to watch and listen to your thoughts over the next couple of weeks.
👊😎👍
Royal Enfiled hit a grand slam! It is a nicely priced, modern and handsome motorcycle! None are available where I live (Thailand) yet!
Eagerly waiting arrival at RE Phuket as well 😍🙏
Absolutely gorgeous looking motorcycle! Royal Enfield go from strength to strength!
Be interested to see where they have moved the rear brake fluid holder., from the position on the Super M650. When you do a review, would you please mention this. Cheers...
Restarted 3 times thinking my audio was playing up you wee scamp. Love the Shotgun, going to be a customiser's dream
Hy up lad, what on earth was that beginning all about 😂 great video as per usual.
One of many reasons to get the Super Meteor over the shot gun would be the back rest to keep your pillion on your bike. The shot gun looks to me like you won't be able to put a backrest on it.
Great start, can't wait to see your thoughts on the test drive!
Am seriously troubled by the choice between a Super Meteor and a Shotgun to upgrade from my Meteor 350. Will very much appreciate your support on the matter 😎
(considering I mainly drive with pillion)
I personally think the shotgun looks far nicer than the S- meteor and I too was looking at getting one. The shotgun also seems to have some great customisation options that you can do on the quick that make it a winner for me. Hope you have fun making the decision, get out and test ride them both. 🤘💀🤘 All the best
@@BikerMatt86 Waiting for the Shotgun to arrive here in Thailand... Testing the SM this weekend (for a second time)
Agreed as far as mods are concerned, the Shotgun is most likely to be a winner on that purpose, but I do very, very much appreciate the S-Meteor's look as well, even standard.
And, unless proven otherwise by road test, believe the SM to be better adapted to pillion riding...
😂🤩❤️love it Stu intro and bike ✅
So if two of these bikes facing each other try to turn the world they cancel each other out and can not move.
great balanced insight to what looks a wonderful bike 👍
I restarted the video thinking it loaded and playing wrong 😂
I think that R.E. designed the Shotgun with the US market in mind. It is the bike that Harley should have made......
It's like an old style flat tracker I thought.
Do you think this could effectively replace an interceptor as a daily driver during summer?
What are your thoughts about it’s touring potential?
You been trolled Stu? That intro….bit weird
Hello Stuart, thank goodness for a sense of humour and,,, my favourite background music.
A very detailed review, looking forward to a ride review.
Loved the Intro, thought I had found a Fillingham parody video! Made me chuckle - look forward to your in depth review.
Classic 650 is also coming soon in 2025
How many parts do you think are the same as the super meteor?
Enjoyed that and found the information useful/factual, Thanks Stuart.
Hahaha nice intro, I was waiting for this review ❤🎉
Always like your post Stuart Can't say blacked out bikes do anything for me.
And running on helium certainly is not advisable 😂
Safe riding mate
Lee
RE raises the bar, again. You nailed it again, Stu.
And then, at 1:40, I felt comfortable again.
Stuart I do enjoy your videos so much 😂😂😂👍 Dave K
Glad to see that you have this bike for review. Looked at them last weekend and what a thing it is. This is the first bike to come along and tempt me off my Interceptor. Looking forward to hearing you thoughts on it.
Brilliant video as always Stuart and its a lovely looking thing, and I can't wait for the full review 😃👍🏻
This color is the only color I like on the Shotgun. I wish it was actually black but this is really cool looking
A good introduction Stuart and I look forward to seeing the following reviews as this bike has my interest.
So now we like the black ? Sat on one of these last week in Scarborough....very nice !
Loved the intro 😂😂😂
Plot Twist... that was his real voice.
Thank you. I’ve been waiting for this, I just didn’t realise it! I’m a child of the sixties, but don’t do bikes……….yet!
All metal bike,mid controls,Showa forks & I like the black look on this bike.
Great looking bike & some alloy bling too.Tripper be handy & I wonder how they do it for that price too.
Sir I invite you and fellow US riders to visit India. Rent a RE and tour around India. You have Desert, Snowy Himalayas, Coastal regions, Jungles, Plateaus, Arid land, Islands just like Maldives. And everything is Affordable as F😂.
I Guarantee you that one trip to India will change your life and will be happy about it for whole life.❤
Aw … only ‘US riders’?🤔 I guess that means I gotta ride my own, beautiful, Super Meteor 650 all the way there, from the UK, yeah?!🤨 Seems fair.😉✌️🙏
@@razzle1964 Everyone is invited. Actually we have more people from UK than USA. UK tourist do come to India quite often than US ones.
Brilliant Intro. Thanks for my early morning laugh.
Have you transitioned Stuart 😂
That was a weird intro 😮 (?)
It have a Honda Rebel vibe but a bit more compact, I like it. :D
Can’t wait for the test ride , prices , pros and cons, fancy one of these
That has to be the best looking RE to-date (to my eyes), although I do really like the Hunter 350. Love the intro! 😂
very very nice mate enjoy
Absolutely loved the informative introduction, now I know why the tank is above the engine 😂. I through the same as you when I first saw the Shotgun that it had a look of the classic. I really like this bike and it has some nice detailed touches. I saw one in my RE dealer and they look great in the flesh. That is a clever pillion seat/rack arrangement.
I think I prefer this bike out of all the 650 range. Love the blacked out look. The only disappointment is the lack of a ‘shotgun’ exhaust. That would’ve looked superb! 👌🏻
Loved the chipmunk intro 😂 I recently visited a dealership that had all models on display,sat on the 650 Meteor,I was amazed at the quality of the finish.
Looking forward to your follow up videos Stuart, thank you.
Once again Royal Enfield have a winner with the Shotgun. A real looker and with everything you need and nothing more. The pillion seat/ luggage rack is brilliant and is a major selling feature for me. And of course the 650 engine has been tested and proven numerous times. Thanks once again Stuart for a honest ,comprehensive review. Cheers and ride safe,Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Always worth my time, thank you sir. Cheers. Loved the weird intro. Keep em coming
Excellent review, amusing too! 😀 stunning bike in my opinion👏👍😀🏍
Is the shotgun much haseavier or higher than a metior 350,as I'
M
Certainly a well-equipped bike; pretty incredible for the money.
😂 it’s the latest ‘haribo’ ad
I thought the video was playing the wrong speed. Lol. I would rather have the Shotgun than the Super Meteor I think. But the USB port would be better on the bars like the Hunter.
Have to admit, I had to restart the video because I thought the sound was messing up. The second time, I figured out what was going on. Funny..😂
"I'll get me coat" 😂.
I like it when you do a piece to camera Uncle Stu - even better when it's like this 😂
Best 1m30 of my life
First video I’ve seen with the bike in this colour,really like it,all the other ones have been blue,thought my phone was playing up on the intro ,nearly got me there.🤣
great video but its a version of the classic not the bullet
I may be proved wrong tho :)
Hmm find a picture of the original bullet. It cant really be a classic can it!
Does anyone else think the rear looks strange? the rear seat, mudguard assembly?
I also question the durability of the blacked out engine and exhaust system.
But agree they couldnt do much else.
I bet its good though👍
they moved the footpegs to the right place that makes it more rideable
That was a rock solid review/walk around Stuart. I've never watched you before but I have liked and subscribed. I was impressed when you said you don't watch other tubers reviews as you don't want them influencing your own review.......very smart......but this is truly is a beautiful motorcycle.......we dreamed of them when we were young.....I think I will buy one....Thanks again, Karl
