Thanks for your honest opinion, I've ridden the 650 meteor and am inclined to agree with you, guess I'll just have to ride the shotgun and my 900 bonnie back to back to see, but thanks again, keep the reviews coming 👍😊
How does the shotgun compare to the speed twin 900 in your opinion, plus and minus, I'd like to hear as I currently own a 900 bonnie but really like the look of the 650 shotgun?
The speed twin 900 has more power both are nimble , without riding them back to back I couldn’t say which was better. If they were the same price age and warranty then I’d probably buy the Triumph (lots around so not that unique) the Shotgun is fun but ultimately doesn’t have the same power. But will be the most Interesting in most bike line ups. The price makes the Royal Enfield more attractive to most & the Triumph has a longer service interval to those who don’t want to be servicing the bike frequently.
This machine is just a little more interesting than those bikes, the NC 750 is not really a proper motorcycle because its a scooter chassis and engine, and I'm sure the NX is as boring a my CB500X was. I ride CB500f for the commute and Shotgun 650 for weekend fun. Ride safe.

Good review bud! ❤
Thanks it’s been awhile since I did one.
Button to scroll the screen is on the far side in front of the headlight switch on the classic 350, I presume in the same place for the Shotgun?
Looking at the manual for clarity it’s a switch where I’d of expected the flash switch to be on the left control. So I’d agree with your suggestion.

Suits you very well
Yes, my crash helmet does have to match my bike-style 🙂
I have a vote on this in the community tab , if you haven’t voted 😉
Only downside of the 650 Enfield is relatively poor fuel consumption compared to the Honda NX500 and NC 750
Those Honda engines are very economical ,which was part of the design brief I suspect.
