![Have Royal Enfield Hit The Target? [SHOTGUN 650 Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Lz2zIAoujDQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Looks great, proven reliability, I think it'll sell like crazy
I'll buy India or Thailand all day long (my '18 KLR-650 is Thai)
No CCP China.....never
I already have no choice on my phone
Thanks for the preview, Adam 😀
Yeah but the engine is made in Japan that's why the KLR is so Ridgid
Good to hear you after a long time Adam. That was a crisp breakdown of this good looking 650. Looking forward for your views on how it rides as well.
Pretty cool bike that's affordable and obtainable. I'm waiting for the Himalayan 450 though!
Hope the rumors of the scram 450 are true.
I think my smaller inseam and tired old back will like this
I’ve been to the Motor Bike Expo in Verona, here in northern Italy, last weekend (yes, the Romeo and Juliet city turned into a Motorbike Rally for a few days). I had the chance to hop on and off back to back on all the RE range, especially this Shotgun, the Continental GT and the Interceptor. I have to say that the Shotgun felt the best of the bunch: more comfortable than the GT, but with a lot more personality than the Interceptor. I’m into bigger engines and more sporty ergonomics, but If I had to choose a bike for a relaxed Sunday afternoon ride along Lake Como, this would definitely be an option!
Nice review and thank you!!! Any bad vibrations or bad heat from the engine ? Do you think it is beginner friendly motorcycle ? Cheers :)
A daily rider Bobber they say
Nice!
does anyone else feel the front forks could use a little visual 'heft' ? other than that i love the lines of this bike.
I like it a lot.
i thought it was 47 HP and 52 Torque??
Nice bike, great price, haters - go ride yer $30k HDs, if the weather is nice enough....
You don’t have to adjust Harley’s valves after 300 MILES 🤡. Actually, you never do as Harley always uses hydraulic valves, just like Royal Enfield did for their last generation of bikes (at the same low price). Now they use the most maintenance heavy engines possible on a modern bike. It’s laughable
I'll ride my $7,000 Yamaha.
I think it's good bike for the price.
The tail should have been a little lower
Love it. Stunning bike, genuinely. The badge also looks nice, So why oh why did they use such awful type face on the paint work. That sh*t would have to go before I rode it!
Passenger seat is missing
The pillion is demountable, along with the rack.
500 pounds is heavy? Pick up any Harly ever made 😂
It's fairly heavy for a 45 hp 650cc bike. I think it's pretty pointless to compare it to a full size Harley with a massive v2 with at least twice the displacement.
@@jarekpszuk6944Yeah, HDs get all of 80 hp out of 1700 cc to push 800 lbs. You do the math…
@@marcoluoma3770 yes, the ballpark math tells me they both have a similar power to weight ratio. However, I wouldn't compare these two bikes directly. I would compare them within their class, HD to other big touring cruisers and the RE with other cruiser styled bikes within the A2 license limits. And I happen to own a 650 cruiser bike within A2 limits, a '97 Suzuki LS650 Savage, and that boy comes in at 170 kg (375 pounds) ready to go. That makes the RE coming at 500 a *relatively* heavy bike.
I've ridden a 2023 Himalayan for about a year and it is pretty much junk. I'd never buy an RE product again. Transmission is horrible and nearly impossible to get into neutral. The infamous relays under the seat problem that keep the fuel pump from working. Handlebars collapsed under normal strap tie downs. Easy enough to bend them back, lol. Not good. I pulled the tags from the bike and just use it for farm stuff.
There's only a little Orange pell. Love it a new bike showing bad paint job.
KAABIR ALMIGHTY GOD CREATOR of all SOULS❤😊
needs fatter tires
This is a beautiful motorbike, but overweight and underpowered - which seems to be RE's MO.
I'm still waiting to watch, read, a motorcycle review where complaining about weight isn't a thing.
Stop skipping leg day.
Complaining about the weight has nothing to do with lifting the bike on the stand. The problem with mass is more inertia leading to less agility through the bends, and worse performance in general, braking and acceleration.
My 2000 Kawasaki W650 weighs 400 pounds and makes 50hp and 40ft/lb of torque and it's 24 years old already... That's the disappointing thing about the Enfields. They weigh as much as a Triumph Bonneville but make less power than my old W650. And my W is not a powerhouse, just a great classic, standard parallel twin bike. I like the 350cc Enfields because they fill a gap for simplicity and they're pretty nimble and peppy for what they are. The 650s I've ridden didn't spark much joy.
Glad to see the belt and no chain.
It's a chain drive.
Another spray can special
air/oil cooled 🤢🤮
Worst modern engine you can buy. Needs a valve job after 300 MILES 🤡
Air cooled that's why. And it's 3000 after the break in service. Super simple job compared to other modern engines.
@@jtmotolife7970 Air cooled? 😂 Do you know anything about bikes? Let’s take a look, genius. First of all, their last generation of AIR COOLED bikes had hydraulic valves that NEVER needed adjusting. Harley’s AIR COOLED Sportsters were the same. And so on… So, they went from hydraulic valves (at the same low price) to the most maintenance heavy engine on a modern bike. 3,000 miles afterwards is still a joke and most riders can’t change the oil, let alone mess with a temperamental rubber gasket, hard to remove cover and then try to work with feeler gauges. That’s about $500 after 300 MILES (for the first valve adjustment). Even more after only 3,000 miles. It’s laughable 🤡
@@madrat5176 yes I know about bikes. It's an air cooled and also oil cooled (will admit I left that part out) engine of their own design. Air cooled engines in general have shorter service intervals than liquid cooled. Harley's air-cooled V-twins are a completely different story compared to air cooled parallel twins like Triumph and Royal Enfield. But they are still cheaper to own than air-cooled Ducatis/BMWs. People get bikes for different reasons. It's not hard at all to follow a TH-cam guide on how to do your own maintenance. I know people with little experience that have done a ton thanks to TH-cam. If they don't research that stuff beforehand then they're the clowns not Royal Enfield. They're reliable bikes that are forgiving and super simple to work on. Harleys can be simple to work on as well. Not having valve checks is nice but there's a host of other things to do/watch out for on just like any other bike.
@@jtmotolife7970 The valve checks are absurd at 300 miles. Name another air cooled engine today that has anything close to that. Especially when they’re coming from hydraulic valves from the last generation. That’s what makes it so unforgivable. I’ve been working in bikes since I’m 10 years old, own a 22 Continental and recently rebuilt an old Iron Barrel Bullet 500 down to a new crankshaft and crank case bearings. So, I know a thing or two about Royal Enfield and working on bikes. Most buyers aren’t like me and don’t have the tools (or space) to work on their own. At this price point, they’re likely beginners that just want to ride and let the dealer service it. A $500+ charge after only 300 miles on a bike this cheap is again unforgivable. An air cooled engine needing a little more attention and one this maintenance heavy are two different things entirely. All modern motorcycle engines from major manufacturers are reliable. This isn’1 the 1980s. And if you have some issues with anything (I’m looking at you KTM), all are covered by warranties. These parallel twins should definitely have hydraulic valves or at least much better design. BMW’s R18, for example, has the same kind of screw-type valves with 6,000 mile service intervals and NO 300 MILE BS.
It's a valve inspection not a valve job after 3000 miles... The whole valve clearance job is every 6000 miles.
These bikes are trash i thought about buying one the salesman talked me out of it said they are ao unreliable. Showed me a few in the shop that needed major work. Glad i dodged that bullet
