    Man, I really wanted the 2025 Indian Scout Sixty Bobber and came across this bike. I don’t think I’ve seen one bash video. From New Zealand, to India, Europe and the US. Everyone loves it. The price is so hard to beat. I’m going to get this over the scout for now just for the price alone. Great video man, you answered a lot of questions I had. I hope my local power sports dealer has one in stock!

      That’s awesome dude! I can say this…..I have a 2019 Indian Scout Bobber…is it a beautiful and powerful bike yep it is….but if I was choosing between that and the Shotgun today…..I’d buy the shotgun…..without a doubt……it just so much more nimble …still has plenty of power…. Is heavy enough to take it on the highway and will easily do those highway speeds ….and for thousands of dollars less….. take the extra $$$ and buy yourself all the coolest gear you want for riding :) Cheers 🍻

    I purchased this bike and I love it. It’s very capable. I’ve still got my Honda CB1100. The shotgun is 100Kilo lighter and such fun to ride.

    Such an awesome video and you explained a lot of the things including riding around town which is so important. How would you say it would handle if I were to ride it in some heavy traffic? Will it be easy to maneuver and merge into or switch lanes in slow speed to get around the cars? FYI I live in Bangkok, Thailand. Major traffic in rush hours lmao! Thanks n appreciate if you can reply!

    • @FASTLANEMOTO
      @FASTLANEMOTO  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Great questions. First thank you so much for watching …I love hearing from people like you from all over the world it’s so cool :)
      Your heavy traffic compared to ours in the states is pretty different….from what I’ve seen in videos ..so I’m not sure if I can answer accurately … here’s what I can say….. my commute to work is about 10 miles and the speed tops at 40 mph….. the traffic is two way single lane and not very heavy so it’s a really easy commute. I have had the bike on the freeway as you saw and had it upwards of 90 mph it absolutely zips in and out of traffic in those setting perfectly. As far as very dense traffic such as you experience I really wouldn’t know if it would be great for you or not. I do think it’s a really maneuverable bike. It’s just such an easy bike to ride and from what I’ve heard pretty much the easiest bike to flick around in Royal Enfield lineup :)

    I've had a stencil white Shotgun since April. I absolutely love it. More than enough power for everyday use and it handles way better than it probably should. I would have loved a 650 Classic but obviously thats not available "yet". I did look at the 350's and they are beautiful but, they just aren't quick enough to keep up with traffic. Great review fella. 👍

      Personally I like it better as far as style and that may cloud my judgment. I would say the Super is probably better set up for touring. But yeah if I was going to get one I’d get the shotgun….its just got more attitude :)

    I don't know where to start here !! Some parts of your review where right on point with what I was looking for. However your taste in music is just terrible and the way you pump it loud over the video just ruins everything. Its a motorcycle review not a music review. I'm still going to give you a like because you answered some important questions I had about the bike. But I feel your channel could build a lot more with some tweaks.

You have sold me on this bike because my biggest concern was will it go 75 or 80 when I need it too. P.S. The music was less overbearing still sucks to me LOL since you look like a real rocker or head banger. Keep up the good work I have now subscribed.
