![Have Royal Enfield Hit The Target? [SHOTGUN 650 Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Lz2zIAoujDQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Sorry, did you say "smaller manufacturer"? I think they did a million units last year, world wide....
Hahahaha true story!
I guess Americans consider RE a "smaller manufacturer"
Royal Enfield currently sells motorcycles in more than 50 countries. Royal Enfield surpassed Harley-Davidson in global sales in 2015.
Their lineup is definitely small and they are the upcoming (they didn't innovate for decades nor did they try to sell worlwide) that's why I said upcoming) company compared to globally established ones.
In the following years they will be able to buy HD and Indian together
On the World stage, Royal Enfield is a major player. They are not a "smaller player".
They make more than 800.000 units a year as far as I've heard...
That was the only thing that got me, RE is pretty big worldwide. I'm guessing they were comparing to Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki.
RE is not a small manufacturer or small player in the motorcycle industry. They are nearing one million bikes produced in a year. As RE continues to evolve some of their products, they will become a bigger player in the states. Currently in he US, they are not mainstream... They are simple, appealing, well made bikes that are more premium than many that cost considerably more. My garage seems to sprout a new RE every six months or so. Of all the bikes I have owned, from HD, Yamaha, Honda, etc... the RE's are my favorite to own and ride. The Classic 350 REborn has some odd mojo than I can not explain. I can not ride that bike enough. Royal Enfield is doing something I do not see from any other motorcycle company... it's as if they have created a new class of bikes "budget premium"
You gotta excuse his proud ignorance.
Thanks for covering this. Glad to hear it has a 31” seat height and foot pegs that are mid-mounted vs the Super Meteor’s lower seat height and forward mounted controls. I have the Classic 350 and the seating position is very good for me and the Shotgun looks similar. Glad it’s already in the US as well…we often have to wait another year after a new RE release
I got a classic 350 too. This is basically a classic 650 with a more modern look.
I want to see them all! Royal Enfield is great.
Looks like a great bike. I’m holding out for a 650 Bullet/Classic.
My mate is interested in the Shotgun the blue or green one if it arrives in NZ 🇳🇿 in the next 4-5months otherwise be a Celestial Green Super Meteor.
I got a email today from RE NZ 🇳🇿 saying that they're taking Pre-orders for the Himmy 450 which arrives in March.I also
got a email last week saying the new Interceptor/GT Dark models have arrived & for sale so hopefully not to long for Shotgun.The new Interceptor/ GT would've been better if they put 41mm Showa forks in them that would've been awesome.
@@ruahinesrider The Interceptor/GT Black would be a sweetie as well!
I haven’t heard much here in the States. The Super Meteors have arrive at dealerships so that is good news.
Classic 650 will be an instant buy!
@@aumkar2 Same here. If they build them like the 350 Classic then it’s going to be awesome superb bike.
@@pinkiewerewolf The 650Classic will be the last 650 variant that's why the Super Meteor & Shotgun been released first.Hopefully Classic 650 be next but wouldn't surprise me if there's another variant a Scrambler 650 most probably.
New Himmy looks good but harder to work on at home than current models.
Lovely video, would like to know more about RE Himalayan 450 and when it is coming to USA. Thx
Yes, it's heavy and there was a time that "creating your own niche" was a major gamble, but at this point RE aren't creating their own niche, they're leaning heavily into the global niche they created and others are tying to break into.
The weight makes it feel solid on the highway. You'll appreciate that on a windy day over a lighter bike.
Really cool looking bike, excited for this to start arriving here in the US. Do we know when US buyers can purchase this?
Smaller manufacturer, well researched guys. RE are one of the biggest bike producers in the world
True, but not one of the biggest sellers in the US. Yet.
@@aaronleverton4221 As global constriction bites, I think more people will go for cost effective options and fuel efficient bikes, maybe HD can pull the rabbit out of the hat with its new engines, but it may have left it too late. The Chinese are coming ( not that I want this) but they will do to the market what the Japanese did in the 70s
@@motechRevolution I think the "too late" for HD was about 20-odd years ago. They started it with the water-cooled, but they didn't have the courage to go all-in and I can't really blame them. Like Corvette and Land Rover they were locked into a specific image. Try something different and meet pushback from their traditional sales base. (I really don't like the new Defender) But, by sticking with what the dinosaurs liked they were fencing themselves off from the future.
Then they tried something radical with their E-bike venture and the shareholders screamed blue murder. There's a point at which you just have to feel sorry for HD as the only manufacturer even older than them drives the nails into their coffin.
Anyway, RE exist in a world (South Asia,/South-East Asia/East Asia) where step-through/underbones Supercub clones rule and they are making strides there.
@@aaronleverton4221 I think you are totally on point. It will be interesting how things pan out. I can't see Jochen Zeitz, pulling HD out of the mess it's in, no more than Land rover competing with other more innovative brands. A whole new world of interesting possibilities.
Oh, that sheet metal grey color gives my girlfriend a concerned look. She knows if it looks that good in real life I'm bringing her home. She owns a Classic 350 in Halcyon Blue so this one here's my pick.
Waiting for the 650 classic, that could be a bike for life.
Great vid from down under.
All Royal Enfields are built to withstand Indian riding conditions, these bikes with a dual seat are used as an mpv on there own territory, it wouldn’t be unusual to see dad,mum, two kids and a baby out for a ride, that’s why they’re built strong.
S&S cycle makes big bore 865 kits for Royal Enfield 650s for those who more kick.
I love that bike.
It's a nice bike for sure, but it just doesn't make enough power. Around 47 HP to me is too low. I think they don't stress the engine so there will be less warranty problems?
Well, Royal Enfields in India are not the cutting edge of technology but they are built solid with heavy robust and repairable parts. They do last a long long time and are easier to fix and even restore. That is what saved them from the Japanese mosquito onslaught in the 80s and 90s. I believe they are never going to drop this. Else they would be just another manufacturer.
The Hunter 350 is the new smaller size and it kicks butt fellas. Would love a review on Hunter 350. Let’s go!!
i have the super meteor 650 at 531.pounds wet. and you do not feel the weight when you are going. yes in 1st gear at slow speeds but not on when you are moving. also the poached a number of triumph engineers as well
Nice Sportster.
It's filling in the void since HD killed their 883 Sportster.
perfect bobber/cruiser/roadster type of bike for a bike enthusiast with a budget of 4 lakh INR
royal enfields are suppose to be heavy cruisers like Harleys
so high weight is not a surprise
This dude called Royal Enfield a "smaller motorcycle manufacturer ". Do you even know how many motorcycles RE sells in a year?
well, it looks better than the last 650 they did
The bike is now on the Australian Enfield site and I;'d been interested until seeing the way toooo much black paint.
Royal enfield is a international company & compliant with multi country regulations unlike some other bike manufacturers
Smaller manufacturer ??? You need to research bro.
Probably price will be rs.400000/- nearly 4500$ in india when it will launch 😊
Not fastest but the coolest bike on the block
How bad? Scale of 1-10. 10? lol Would like your dad to give input on this Kase. He has a style that might appreciate these.
Royal Enfield a "smaller manufacturer"?
Oh yeah … interesting. It’s a little less cruiser style / design than the Super Meteor. I might like it a bit better. Can’t wait to actually throw a leg over, possibly trade in my little Hunter 350.
Ach, but that Hunter is such a breath of fresh air. Lovely little thing.
@@903lew Indeed, it’s like a large mini-bike, I DO have fun riding it!
"Smaller manufacturer"...lol are you for real? Americans 😂
Americans be like if it's not a Harley, it's not a motorcycle. 😂😂😂
LOL But maybe outside of India people are less familiar with RE. In India, you cannot escape these. Used to hate these old heavy bikes as a kid. Had to fall in love as I grew older.
Harley will be lucky to sell 150,000 bikes this year, Enfield will sell around 900,000 bikes this year, so they aren't a small manufacturer and make affordable bikes that people want.
I even picture CF Moto out selling Harley Davidson and Indian Motorcycles world wide.
@@daakuredpanda5782its popular outside India too very much popular
You are really calling RE a "smaller" manufacturer? LOL! RE is selling more bikes a year than Harley, BMW, KTM and Triumph combined. You must not forget, that India, which is RE's main market is the largest motorcycle market in the world.
I’m tired of RE just reinventing around their 650. We need at least a 900cc bike.
true maybe 838cc is coming
They really need to get a bigger bike with 75+ horsepower.
royal enfield is not that small... they can make another engine for cruisers
More than a hundred pounds heavier than a 500 Rebel and makes less hp.
Smaller manufacturer? 😂
“ smaller manufacturer “ haha
Not much point in watching the video if they have no idea what they are talking about.
+500lbs is disgusting, there's no excuse.
Oh i see, a spec sheet warrior 😅
@adityan3208 well, it's as heavy as the 4 cylinder superbikes I rode in the 80"s such as the CB900F, Z1000J, Katana 1100 but with half the power. Imagine that. 👍🏻👍🏻
Where have I seen that seat design? Poor choice
This bike feels a bit pointless tbh. Also, Royal Enfield is by no means a “small company” lol.
LOL.. scraping foot pegs or silencers- it seems like a poorly engineered bike
oh for the love of either bring back 500cc or make a twin engine like 350 single
dont shove 650 cafe racer engine in everything it's weird
super meteor is weird and doesnt feel like a cruiser because it cant cruise! which you can only do with high torque engine which are undersquare one like classic or a harley
