Tradition and Quality, finish and value are back again in a company that cares about building motorcycles for people who are looking for something they can afford and put their faith in. I like the way this bike looks and performs. It's a winner for me.
Fun fact: Eicher Motors (Company owning RE brand) made all of the RE employees to ride bikes for their commutes and weekends just to make them get a feel of owning, maintaining and riding a motorcycle. RE's quality and engineering has just taken off from there. The new Himalayan 450 is just so damn good
I own 3 Enfields. My problem is - I buy a particular model and love it. A year later a new model (that I love) gets released. I get very tempted to buy it. Some time later yet another Enfield is released that I also love. Do you see my problem?
Hadn't really noticed this bike until I walked into my local dealership last week for a brew and a chat. Now I'm seeing them all over UA-cam. 😄 Nice review, Tomboy. 👍
You are one lucky girl, already riding the Shotgun. Here we’still waiting and waiting… It’ a marvelous bike, reminding me the old beauties from the 30 and 40’s. Makes me think of the K series, except the engine.
I think it is the best looking RE 650. My brother spent an other grand to get his interceptor to look the way he wanted when the Shotgun is already there. Great review. Not many reviewers look at the whole riding experience like you.
I think RE have nailed it (again!) with this bobber. I haven't checked the colours available but have to say I'm a sucker for blue! And this is possibly tomboy's best bike review to date. Pleasure to watch and gives me a real idea about the bike. What a cool channel. :)
Love the Shotgun so much, but also 100% love my SM 650 Astral Black with black solo seat finisher. (Royal Enfield Barend Mirrors as well!! Must have!) Only wish I could maybe add the Shotgun seat to my Super Meteor! The floating Bobber seat looks just so awesome! Having said that, how could I not resist a test ride! Who knows what the outcome might be! Beautiful bike! Great video!
@@benjamin.f.b. Cheers! May be the challenge once removing the Super Meteor 650 standard riders seat is that it seems to be protecting relays etc. And access to them. I need to see maybe....🤔 (Thinking out loud) How on the Shotgun they are protecting the insides under the seat... Hence thinking it may not be a plug and play aftermarket part seat for the SM. Not a game changer... Curious 'if'. I am expecting that there will be some Super Meteor owners wondering if the Shotgun mid controls will fit or be available for Super Meteor. For that I sit in-between. The SM forward controls in my opinion are in between mid and full forward controls. I enjoy where they are yet understand and do have moments I think mid controls in commuting would be accommodating.
The SG650 shotgun consept was one incredible fine looking motorcycle. Too bad the production model doesn't look like that. If they made the consept bike, I would buy it in a heartbeat, it was simply gorgeous.
Well, that's the strength of Indian 🇮🇳Bike RE. Absolutely unparalleled. The Exhaust sound, perhaps, gets customised as per other country's norms because here in India, Which is a home to RE Bikes, the T-H-U-G - T-H-U-G -T-H-U-G 💨💨 sound is just an emotion. No wonder, here in India, Royal Enfield says " BUILT IT LIKE A GUN ". 🔥 Impressive & comprehensive review of RE.

Great review , always love that you give plenty of time to the feel and the look of the bike . The ride outs are great , too and I particularly like how you use different camera angles to all round effect.. One of your best …
Great review, definitely a worth subscriber❤. As a Indian, I'm so glad, Siddhartha, the CEO of the company saved this Indian motorcycle brand from shutdown a decade ago. Now Royal Enfield presence is not just only in india but the whole world. I always amazed how royal Enfield choose so classy name for their bikes, like Hunter, Meteor, Thunderbird, Himalayan, Interceptor, Continental GT, Bullet and now Shot Gun.❤ Made like a gun, goes like a bullet.
New subscriber here. This is the first video of hers that Ive watched. Very informative!! RE have really come a long way. Cant wait to test ride the Shotgun and Super Meteor. She has alot more videos I would like to see.
the sheet metal grey option looks bueno. still prefer the look of the continental GT, but if the local dealer carries these out here i'm going to take a look in person. great vid!
They're a good bike for the money, I was tempted by one so much, but a bit small for me after trying, I'm quite tall. Will keep saving pennies for the Indian Chief Dark horse 😁
A beautiful bike, beautifully reviewed in great detail, giving would-be purchasers a great insight into it's handling and comfort during the beautiful test ride, I just love your enthusiasm!
Well Dee you have most definitely put the cat among the pigeons with this one ,,,its a beautiful bike and I was just looking at a Sportster 1200 C ,now I need to look again ,,,first thing I would do is ,lose the black exhaust and a different color not blue ,but I love it I also love the passenger seat / carrier.
Great vlog, certainly the shogun looks like a great bike. As you say the quality of the bikes are getting better. You'd make a great bike salesperson as you have a feel and a passion. 💖💖
Love this lady and all her vids, her accent has mememerised ,could watch and listern to you for hours, the way you describe and give you4 opions are great
Yesterday I finally got to test ride a RE 650 Super Meteor and it was a fabulous motorcycle!!! I have 2 motorcycles now if I had the room for one more, the Super Meteor would be it.
Good review. Interested to hear a comparison with Super Meteor, rear suspension, handling, etc. I thought you looked almost too big for this bike at 5 9 … unless you have a super long torso.
Tomboy You did it again. Another fantastic review! I love the color of that bike and I agree it looks nice without the pillion seat and rack. It looks very "Bobberish" ish, ish. I love what Royal Enfield are doing with styling. They have so many choices now and variations compared to just 2 years ago. You look perfect on it! I love your riding skills, the enthusiasm you have, and your love of motorcycles! To me, you make some of the best honest motorcycle impression videos on the internet. I wish every woman was like you! After watching this wonderful video, I think Triumph needs a "Bobber" version of the Speed 400. What do you think? I think it would be a sellout bike! Fantastic video Lady D! 🌹 Ride SAFE and BE safe! 👍👍
Thanks for the well articulated review! Your accent seem very intercontinental. I really can’t pin it down. A bit of South African maybe? Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
I was going to buy a triumph Bobber, but bought a Speedmaster....but went off it because it was too flashy and chromey, and attracted too much attention...I think a Shotgun in Black would look good
Replace that oddly awkward rear mudguard with the one from the Super Meteor or an enlarged one from the Classic 350, and you have a classy ride. That mudguard just bothers me
Definitely a very nice bike. Good report as well. Was it maybe the camera, I had the impression when going over a road bump the suspension was reacting a little hard and giving that bump into the whole machine ?
Nice bike, love both the style and the colour, they look good and match well. But, the sound definately needs some work done on it! But other than that, it's certainly one that I would consider buying, and probably would, if there was any money left, after buying the last two bikes you have reviewed..., both of which I feel I need to have. So, with my two, this one, and the last two you've reviewed, that makes five, and I only have room for one in my garage. Oh, just remembered, I need a Suzi Katana as well. That means, first I need a large Barn to store them all... oh why is life so expensive and so short? If you help me rob a bank, i'll let you share the Barn... lol !!
Interesting video to watch. I plan to have a test ride on this bike in a few months 👍 Not as good music as in the chopper build video 😂. It was not bad but did not reach that same high level 😁
Great review (and love the accent!) but the torque number displayed on screen (8 min and 16 seconds into the video) is incorrect... Should be 52.3nm not 32nm. Nevertheless, I have just subscribed and given you one of these 👍😉
Royal Enfield is best for off roading raiders ❤....bcoz it's so soomth in plain way and also for mountains area special design ( royal Enfield himayan) ❤
super cool looking bike I love it I would probably take 0ff the 650 sticker I know it's big for royal infield but it's nothing to brag aboutI have an iron I told you before but I don't know if you remember who I am I just like to put around town that bike looks sweet as long as they take off faster than most cars I'm good.
You call it brilliant I think you're brilliant the way you can navigate that phone! I wish the controls we're arranged differently so that the speedometer was right in the middle. It's got the most character then the interceptor you say, good.🏁
The shotgun is far cooler than super meteor. The super meteor looks like a american design done as a British twin. Shotgun has its own look like nothing else ever before, it oozing character.
I watched this review straight after watching the Norton review where the engine clattering was awful compared to the RE and I felt you were just being polite to the Norton, but why did RE make the tripper so small why not make it the same size as the speedo it would look much better and be more visible
This 32Nm of torque figure seems a bit slim to me. I could imagine to round it up with another 20Nm. Even the Scrambler 400X from Triumph manages to develop around 37Nm. Rode them both, so I could state that despite the nearly 60 extra kgs, the Shotgun is out of the small Triumph's league.

sounds like you need to start selling the old ones. They hold their value quite well
Nice problem to have.
You have money Problem 😂
By donating you will solve 2 problems with one stone.
The Royal Enfield suits this bobber look and does a good job (as always, an excellent review job too).
Luv Indian Scout Bob but luv this too.

Thanks for the video. I have a Super Meteor and going to get the Shotgun too👍(Got a Classic 500 as well😁)

So you've got same problem as other RE lovers. They keep buying the new one.

Great review of the bike. Love the way you segment it out and the quirky background music.
Royal Enfield and this channel are both excellent.
sold my Enfield because had to run away from my home city. One of the first things I ill buy when I get a decent job.
I love this bike, I plan it to my first bike after passing my test this year 👍😎
Best of luck!

Congratulations 🙌

Nice colour. Seems to have a high pitched whine from the engine/gearbox. I prefer the Harley Sportster 883 or 1200. Lovely review, cheers.
Cool channel! My fingers are crossed that you will review a RE Himalayan 450 soon?!
As soon as it’s available!
Came for bike and fell in love with her way of talking
RE is moving up. Classic 650 and Hunter 450 is coming soon.
I honestly am a fan of 650 but I love shotgun as well.
It was a pleasure to enjoy your ride.
Love from India❤
1st time seeing this reviewer,think I'd watch if oven chips were being reviewed!!!
1,75.5,9.not single. Ok. Got it😊.L+R from Greece🎉
The U.S.A. Headquarters for Royal Enfield is in Milwaukee, (Harley), Wisconsin, FYI
Love this lady and all her vids, her accent has mememerised ,could watch and listern to you for hours, the way you describe and give you4 opions are great
Been riding harleys for 40 yrs.but am seriously considering a shotgun nw
Been riding harleys for eysenck
One more custom part would be to replace the rims with classic wire ones, for that classic look.
Yep. Please if you can do the Super Meteor. That would be interesting & cool❤
8:15 Maximum Torque 52.3 Nm @5650 rpm.😀
Exactly, thirty something would be unbelievably low for 650 engine
Thank you 🙏🏻 Typo mistake.

@@tomboyabitHello Lithuania❤❤❤❤
Suspension can be adjusted on these bikes. Always adjust the suspension to your comfort. Its one of the perks you paid so much money for.
I'd definitely remove seat but keep the rack 👌
Just a tip - if feeling cold then perhaps wear winter gloves and jacket. Nice vid though
Respect from India
I was going to buy a triumph Bobber, but bought a Speedmaster....but went off it because it was too flashy and chromey, and attracted too much attention...I think a Shotgun in Black would look good
In india royal enfield got some sound like when you ride in full speed on a flyover , the flyover starts vibrating
Gages and gas cap are better than the Interceptor. The current Interceptor needs updating.
Replace that oddly awkward rear mudguard with the one from the Super Meteor or an enlarged one from the Classic 350, and you have a classy ride. That mudguard just bothers me
Definitely a very nice bike. Good report as well. Was it maybe the camera, I had the impression when going over a road bump the suspension was reacting a little hard and giving that bump into the whole machine ?
RE designer team forgot to design the rear.

every man likkes a decent size Rack on the back of there Bike 🤠
I know what you mean. Ha ha.
😂😂😂 nice one
And the bigger her rack the better in my opinion😊
Hahaha
I don’t want anyone behind me on my Bike. Not even for millions!
Looks really cool 👌
I love this bike and colour... So gorgeous ❤❤
what about upgraded rear shocks? any options?
this bike would look amazing with a chopped rear fender, a side plate mount and wrapped pipes
You call it brilliant I think you're brilliant the way you can navigate that phone! I wish the controls we're arranged differently so that the speedometer was right in the middle. It's got the most character then the interceptor you say, good.🏁
is it better than your harley sportster ? do you think ? i mean before you upgraded the engine
Shotgun 650 is affordable and very reliable.
I love shotgun 650 but love from Xtreme 125R
hello Miss .. beautifull review.... the bike is 52 Nm not 32 ...just for info thanks
Thank you. Typo mistake.
The 👑 standard 350 bullet
thanks for nice video
i need next video!!!!!
comparison to super meteor~~
The shotgun would look great with bar end indicators
They could have easily called it the Classic 650
Nice bike ❤… it has the right look and curves
I'm Big bike lover I watch first time your videos so good i am from Pakistan i like it
Nice design! 👍
How much price of this bike
Beautiful indian beast bike ❤
That's royal Enfield for you

I watched this review straight after watching the Norton review where the engine clattering was awful compared to the RE and I felt you were just being polite to the Norton, but why did RE make the tripper so small why not make it the same size as the speedo it would look much better and be more visible
Royal Enfield bikes are very popular in india 🇮🇳, specially 350cc bikes .
RE❤ The pride of India❤
Royal Enfield ❤>>>
wonderfull analysis
This 32Nm of torque figure seems a bit slim to me.
I could imagine to round it up with another 20Nm. Even the Scrambler 400X from Triumph manages to develop around 37Nm.
Rode them both, so I could state that despite the nearly 60 extra kgs, the Shotgun is out of the small Triumph's league.
Hi David, I made a terrible typing mistake. Shotgun is 52Nm.
