Simple, pure and evergreen love for bikes. This is the feeling I get from your videos, everytime I watch you two legends
Glad you like them! Thanks.
I just rode a shotgun few days back.. the engine as usual is a gem, rear brakes are too good and have a sharp bite... Quality is top notch and the ride quality and riders triangle is well sorted...
A good piece of kit overall 👍
🙌
During unveiling of Shot Gun by Siddhartha Lal at Goa, my biking instincts instantly asserted that this bike would be ideal for afficianodes . This will offer the best riding dynamics to all kind of riders for sure .I wish it had Chrome to add more visual appeal. Thanks to both for this revelations ❤
👍👍👍
Hi from the U.K. I’ve just ordered a Shotgun and I wanted to say thanks for an excellent “honest” and enjoyable video, I really enjoyed it and am now subbed :)
Many thanks. Enjoy your rides.
My Next Bike For Sure... Currently Using Thunderbird 350X For Past 5 Year... I Kept My Eyes On Shotgun From The First Concept Video Released
Same here thunderbird 500 owner from last 7 years😅
8 years travelling with Bullet 500 carburettor
👍
Aap toh mere jaise nikle Maine bhi meteor 350 liya hai aur aage chalkar bade cc ka lunga abhi nahi jab royal Enfield 800cc ke aaspas koi bike bana lega Jo Harley feel de sake
I have been riding standard since the last 6 years will upgrade in due time... But don't want to let go of the standard
Oh my.!! The way you both review the motorcycles..!!! No complex edits, no peppy music, just plain old joy of motorcycling in those words and the calm blues jazz music and the birds chirping…!!! You guys are just so damn cool..!!! And yeah.. am planing to get the Shotgun. Am coming from an Interceptor. Hope I don’t go wrong with my choice. Cheers guys..!!
Thanks.
Congrats!
Bought this beast and been riding it for more than a month now. Superb power and pickup. And the road presence is simply awesome. Best in its segment no doubt. The only problem I found is the heat that generates when you go long distance. Can be felt on the legs. Apart from that its a beauty!!!
👍
Love you guys for the clarity of your thoughts and the way you articulate. Another great review, thank you for uploading!!!
Thanks for watching!
As a ex GT 650 rider (sold GT due to discomfort on long rides), I was in dilemma whether to go with interceptor or super meteor or shotgun since I liked the 650 engine very much and its pocket friendly in 650 cc segment bikes. I finally booked shotgun and waiting for delivery but still had some confusion that I would have booked interceptor. Your review now clarified my confusion. I hope I made a right decision on booking shotgun.. very neat and clear explanation.. Thanks for awesome review.. _/\_.
👍
Just need this engine in Himalayan chassis 🥰🥰🥰. Low , Mid , High pure bliss at all Rpms
That could be interesting.
Exactly! I'm waiting for that to happen asap😍
The refinement of 650cc parallel twin engine and the suspension of Himalayan 450. God, I would go places with that setup
Thanks man for clearing the confusion by recommending a lean forward position bike over an upright position bike...now i can let go the old mindset and make my decision easily
Glad I could help.
@@bigbearbangalore you always do 🙏🏼
congrats bosky for goldstar and it will bring back the memories of your thunderbird, that tank and twin pods etc, for me it did for sure
👍
A great review as usual.. have booked the Shotgun and await its arrival..
your video just reaffirmed the feeling I had of nostaligia of my 1977 Bullet when I first rode the Shotgun..I was whistling just like you..
The bike looks pure and clean.. a returning bikers delight I hope.
Keep up the great work Sir.
Congrats. Many thanks.
Even if I buy this bike, where can I get a friend like you two who looks at any motorcycle like a lover. Because of people like you, it seems that pursuing the dream of becoming a biker at the age of 38 will not be a crime whereas in the eyes of the people of the society, such thinking is considered a negative thought.
😀🙏
Why bither about what others think. Do what gives you joy and peace. Enjoy responsibly. 😊
We are all well past 50 years of age and decided to wade into social media. We didn't care about what others may think. We decided to do what we enjoy doing in an appropriate manner. That's it.
@@bigbearbangalore 🙏❤️ Lots of love and respect to both of you from Lucknow.
Great review guys as always! I love the drill green colour... This bike makes me look forward expectantly for the scrambler/bear variant of the 650... The interceptor original lacked a quality feel to many of its parts, but was saved by price and a lovely engine and now that the quality from RE has improved so much, I hope they knock it out of the park with the scrambler!
Thanks. Agree.
I truly enjoy watching your mature conversation about bikes. I'm an Interceptor 650 owner myself.
👍
The only one thing I would change on this is that suspension, everytime going over pothole is like owoo owoo owoooo, its a great bike, still doesn't like our indian mountains we call speed breakers and craters we call potholes 😂
Great video as always, cheers guys.
😀🙌
Some designer from RE would be really happy to you guys appreciating the level of detail they have put in. Already booked it btw, eagerly waiting. Fell in love with it on the first pull of the accelerator.
Good call!
Sirs I differ on one aspect that it needs a wider handlebar. With a larger turning radius than the interceptor and GT, the handlebar width is actually perfect. Otherwise lovely review and a pleasure to watch you both as always.
Bang on!! That's the reason this stands out !!
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Hey bosky, had gone to RE today to checkout this beauty. I couldn't feel the weight even at stand still, probably because of low centre of gravity. Looking forward to buy one already
🙌
Love your descriptions...and the conversation between the two of you - Basky and GK. You both complement each other so well... love the details you present, with a hint of humour every now and then...
Typical Bengalurean humour...the despair of never winning, our men cricket games despite us playing so well...
the refence to Star Trek...its as if the both of us...or the three of us belong to the same generations...give or take a few years...
Lol at references to Bengaluru potholes !
Thank you so much! Cheers!
I like Star Trek too, Specially the space craft in it. Both of you just fit in the youngster's group any day but just a lot more experienced. The feel of passion towards the motorcycles and motorcycling are purely visible in every points you both make. looking froward to learn a lot from you sir.
🙏🙏🙏 many thanks.
I bought one in june.... Ssme colour stencil white....its a gem.... Shotgun rocks
🙌
Are there any vibrations in high speed ?
Got mine 🎉🎉 enjoying this bike. I had to sell my GT 650 coz of the riding posture. I can say this is the most comfortable one in RE 650 series
Great to hear!
Are there any vibrations in high speed?
Beautiful review. Superb USD Suspension. Recommended this to a very Dear Friend who got this Bike delivered from HSR and restarted his Motorcycling Journey! Ride Tastefully🎉🎉🎉🎉
🙌
Bought Shotgun after watching your video Sir ❤
Congrats
@@bigbearbangalore thank you Sir
Best bike for foreign markets
Good for India too.
LOL the final part where he "thunderbolts" the back seat is gold. hahahaha
👍
I am waiting for the Scrambler 650 twin. Hope RE gives similar fit and finish for the scrambler 650 as well. Any updates on this motorcycle Bosky sir???
None that I know of.
Mind says this is not for me, milage - by far below Indian standards, but heart says buy…. After watching your video I may buy this beauty!!!
👍
👍for Star Trek reference.
Live Long and Prosper 🖖
🙌
No drama, just pure words about the bike ❤❤
🙏
Would loved to hear how it sounds since it has different mufflers.
Yes. The exhaust recordings were not great hence did not share them.
Feels like a presentation with a FAQ, sir
🙏
i think the rear suspension should be improved for this bike , some gas charged or performance shocks can be more efficient . also the chassis should be more strong.
👍
Bosky sir, it is like an old flame coming back in life 😅😅❤. Indeed it is ❤
🙌
I kinda like the switches on the Himalayan 450 more than the Super meteor or the shotgun. Can we have the kill switch knob and the headlight knob of the 450 added on the shotgun or the Super meteor? Would look outstanding and goes well with the fit an finish of the Shotgun. Also if the design allows the customisation, I'd swap out that trippr console with a tachometer like that of a GT 650. Not sure how much of customisation the Shotgun allows, definitely being marketed as custom model.
👍
its all perfect just some after market manufacturer needs to make that brushed aluminium front visor/ headlight cover that went over the meter that we saw on that EICMA Concept of the Shotgun and also Harley styled dragster headlight and bar risers
👍
I own a GT and it is the first bike I m still nuts about, after 3 years. It will stay. But another RE will come, I love the SG a lot.
India did not only put a rocket on the moon, they produce damn good bikes and it s always getting better😊.
🙌
Hi Bosky, I want to change the P-shooter exhausts. They are protruding a lot, which can be cumbersome sometimes. What are the alternatives, please comment.
I know or none
I think RE stands as an example of what India represents: good craftsmanship, a keen eye and good taste…
Not to forget: giving us bikers around the globe fantastic and reliable machines to have lots of fun.
And it seems RE are still brewing more😂
👍
Nice way of presentation…. Love and emotion about bikes
Glad you liked it.
Confused between 650 shotgun or kawasaki z650rs which is more exciting not getting z650rs test ride in my place any inputs are much appreciated. Driving is within city limits mostly no highway crusing. Ground clearance of z650rs is lower side but your guidance will be helpful. Thanks in advance
Very different they are. Take test rides and buy the one you enjoy more being on.
I truly enjoyed the video review of Shotgun 650. I have a question though, Can a Top box and Saddle bags be fitted in SG 650?
Thanks.
Don't know aboit the availability of these items for the SG650.
Sir, could you give us a detailed tour on Hero’s new “Mavrick 440”? It will be such a pleasure to hear from you.
Noted
I really love that machine
👍
As a 2021 intercptr owner, whenever i see any of these 650 renditions by our revered RE, my sole interest is whether the rear/front suspension can be a straight swap. From reviews i gather the superMeteor rear suspension is horrible. This bike, as you put it, is rock solid in that regard. Wonder if this here suspn will fit the intercptr.
Have the 2015 bullet500 too...when RE could make a perfect suspension on that venerable bike, what did they unlearn in order to come up with the suspension on the Intercptr?
Bobber haan..heavier than the original article..?
Dunno...
Dunno....
@@bigbearbangalore touche!
9:36 Uppi dada🥰😍
🙏
brilliant review , to the point ,now you see the next bike is classic 650 whoch has got exact same setup with minor component changes will make video sooner
👍
Re will come out with crude ones to start with then introduce better variants and then bring in best accompanied by higher & higher tag... essentially all the same dugu dugu
And the dugu dugu sells.
15:48 "no it's royal Enfield man" 😂😂😂😂
🫡
Looks like sir is going to add this into his album of sweat hearts..
I do like the engine sound
😀🙏
I think The video on Yezdi Roadster and Bobber should be on your channel waiting for your openions on that engine performance and Driving Ergonomics 🙂.
If and when possible. 👍
1. Do you think the incoming Classic 650 is going to be lighter than the Shotgun?
2. How do the 41mm BP SFF Front forks of Honda NX500 compare with 43mm forks of Scrambler 400X? I want to know which one is going to be more supple and absorbent over broken tarmac. I can't test ride them readily as I ride a modified bike due to physical constraints, hence your opinion would help. I don't go ADV style offroads. i have a Speed 400, 6000kms done, absolutely love it's suspension over my earlier Meteor 350....but its a bit small, I now want something more substantial. Thanks.
1. Don't know. Likely to be similar.
2. Haven't ridden the NX so unable to comment.
The 400X suspension is quite good.
Hey! Dudes please show us the motor cycles when you describe them we have already seen your faces so many times❤❤❤. I've been meaning to comment this for some time.
When you compare the machines show us the machines how they differ not your old beautiful faces
Anyway love your attitude towards the bikes.
Keep doing the great stuff
Hey. This is all our able to show. Cannot possible more. 😀🙏
How does the rear suspension of the Shotgun compare to that of the Super Meteor 650? Users of the Super Meteor 650 were discussing its stiffness in comparison.
The SG suspension is far better.
What about the ground clearance? Is it good enough in the real world scenario?
Yes it's adequate.
Referring to Star Trek: Royal Enfield is boldly going where no man has gone before
🙌
Handle bar and exhaust need some modification. Any suggestions?
None at the moment
Definitely taking a test ride!
👍
Star Trek 😮❤ , I love it Too 😊
🫡
Awaiting for Bullet 650.
Anybody Else ??
👍
Your opinion on overall Ground clearance, seating comfort, rare suspension compared to super meteor
Adequate GC and better rear suspension than the SM650.
May I know which one is a good pick out of these two - Shotgun 650 or Husqvarna svartpilen 401?
Quote different they are! Quote different. Ride them to know more.
Does the Ground Clarence will be an issue?
Not likely.
Sir excellent and thank you. Sir can you suggest a good suspension for interceptor 650 (2020 BS6 model).
Thanks.
Check on YSS suspension.
@@bigbearbangalore thanks a lot sir. Will do
Like your channel 😊
🙏
I have 2 options 1 is to buy intrrcepyor 2022 model (new from agency ) at 325000 approx and 2nd is 365000 approx 2024 model please advice me which one is better deal for me the difference is approx 40000 .
It's your choice.
I will negotiate more for 60k and buy the 2022.
Liked it for uppi dada ❤
👍
Hi bosky, may i know which is better svartpilen 401 or shotgun. I know that they both are very different bikes but those two are in my final list. I commute mostly in banglore (70 % in city and 30% touring ). Which one wil be best pick according to you
Quite different. Unable to compare and suggest. Test ride and choose.
If possible please do a long ride review on this motorcycle sir
Will try.
I am waiting for the same…
I want to see "BENDA Napoleon 500" with u guys, sir
🙏
Sir what I can see from the images and videos, the SG’s exhausts are pretty much flared out! Do they look weird in reality as well or is it just me! I want to upgrade from my classic 350 and confused between SG and interceptor ( for a casual city ride)
They look good. Take a look in real life.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you
How easy is to remove the rear subframe and seat? Is torque wrench necessary?
Haven't tried this.
Please advise .. shotgun or super meteor .. which one you would prefer ?
I prefer the Shotgun
I am confused between GT and shotgun for my first bike I like shotgun more than GT but have doubts in ground clearance??
Check it out at a showroom.
Well for me, it's YES 🎉
👍
Simple as it is .
Nicely explained ❤❤
Glad you liked it
My first comment
I really love your experience towards the bikes.
But one thing which is disturbing from that you guys hope you are not doing any promotional stuff for RE or any other stuff
Pls confirm 😊
Don't be disturbed.
We all have a choice to do what we wish to do and a choice to take things as we see or analyse deeply for alternate intepretations. Exercise your choice.
Cheers!
Thanks for confirming sir
Now I will not be disturbed any more @@bigbearbangalore
As my first bike, Should I opt for this over the HD X440?
in concern about their city ride comfort and rider friendliness, which motorcycle would you add in your garage?
X440 has terrible build quality, but it's a better choice for City
Test ride and choose. They are quite different in many aspects.
Unfortunately, I don't have a Driving licence yet, even my learner's licence is on it's way! So I've to wait for about 3,4 months to take any test rides. And I need a motorcycle as soon as I can.
It'll be first bike and I'll keep it for a long time so maybe worth the wait🥲
@@souv1ck316 who said you need a driving licence 😂 just keep some 200 notes spare
@@Vikrum_ hyan? aisa bhi hota hain kya! I thought of going with my friend who have a licence and then will try to ride it midway!
I don't have bike but still I watch your videos. I don't know why but I do 😂
🙏😊
Sir what do you think of tuereg 660 listed on Aprilia India website.
Don't know. Haven't seen it in real yet.
👉Superb Conversation & Enjoyable Video.👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
In some time classic 650 is also coming i don't know how will they differentiate it
There'll be some.
This is not a bobber, if the rear wheel is connected to the rest of the body only via a swing arm and not connected to the bike chassis directly.
Ok
..please add a bit of exhaust note in the videos also ( only if you want that is 😅😅😅).... and the seat fitting at the end of the video was

Thanks! 🙏
confused, what to buy after my interceptor.... himalyan, this or nx500 directly..
Yes! Confusing.
One thing that this channel should improve is quality of the videos, camera angle and focus and lighting etc, if I could suggest!

Forsure better than that overhyped gt 650
🙏
Wow ❤
🙏
How does it do on long rides?
Yet to find out. Should be good.
You guys are more like comedian sales man 😂 whatever you guys talk about has no new information for example Super meteor also have the shimmer in the framework. The Shortgun is based on the Super Meteor just few tweaks on Suspension wheels etc Both bikes are beautiful but I prefer Super Meteor for pillion seat and prefer Shortgun as single seat as bobber, that framework for pillion seat is very ugly. I've driven both and they are perfect, forward foot pegs are not like typical cruiser it's comfortable Super Meteor is actually more better in traffic and on highway.

Guys, where are you located?
Bangalore
At this point it seems you guys just milk Royal Enfield.
