I'm saving to buy this bike, I already did the test drive, I guess I tried everything to take a safe decision, I even crashed it against a car and got to keep the broken front brake lever, maybe I'm gonna turn it into a keychain as a lucky amulet, thankfully that's all I had to pay. All in all, a nice bike which I plan to buy

I've been motorcycling since 1978. I live in the EU where a new Suzuki SV650 is 2600 pounds cheaper than the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650. The SV650 is my second Suzuki. My first one was the two stroke three cylinder GT550. It took my girlfriend and me from Denmark to Monaco and back with all our camping gear. After 2000 miles the SV650 has not disappointed either.

I think it would look so much better with a small exhaust.

I'm old enough to remember that these were known as motorcycles, not pigeonholed into some bs category.

And then you have to buy all the correct gear for that category. BS, indeed.

bought one a couple months ago, came from a poorly maintained 2008 250cc so it was an almost dull how smooth it was initially, but its it gets a bit more crunchy after a couple thousand K's on it. Also one thing i've never seen reviewers mention is the absolute whistle on this champion, maybe it's common but initially there were times i mistook it for a police siren with its volume, consistency and length, ive grown to love it and will miss it when i change out the exhaust eventually

I have done 600 miles on mine, agree pretty much with everything that you said. I'm still not sure what it is, does take some muscling around corners and she is heavy. Riding her after getting off my cb500f (my commuter bike) requires a whole different riding style! Balanced review, thanks.👍

You own an interceptor, your should have compare the ergo and handling. I was looking to purchase an Interceptor. I m 6' tall. Tired the interceptor and liked it before shotgun came up, I ride the super Meteor didn't like it tho

@@kommonman.5011 Sorry, perhaps I wasn’t clear - the Interceptor was a long-term test bike, not one I own. We’re about the same height, tho, and to my mind an Interceptor with the better suspension of the Shotgun would be the best mix!

I booked shotgun, then waited a month. Then the day came for test rides. Riding shotgun was ok but nothing special. Then I jumped on Interceptor, right away I made my mind on Int650 chrome tank and took it home. Also saved couple grands :)

Despite the ugly big radiator you keep calling it an air cooled engine. Why? What is induction noise? How do you feel induction under the seat? Do you wear a tin hat under your helmet?

It's an air cooled engine, but with an oil cooler. The heads & cylinders do not have any liquid cooling.

99% of People riding 100 HP+ Bikes are not even close to really handle that Power. Except on a straight road. If you think 50 hp are low power than you are a good rider or a bad one whos thinking he is good.

It is not a really heavy bike at all..yes on paper it is but all that way is down low..it feels no different then most 200kg motorcycles
