About the Reviewer

Nice when compare to another bikes The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 burst onto the scene as a surprise unveiling at the 2023 Motoverse / Rider Mania event in Goa, capturing the attention of motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide. Positioned as a sportier take on the Super Meteor 650, the Shotgun promises an invigorating riding experience while retaining its cruiser DNA. Royal Enfield chose Los Angeles as the destination for us to try out this motorcycle - not only because America loves the quintessential bouquet of cruisers, but also because Los Angeles and the fabled "sunny California" have some of the best riding roads. Is that a bit much for a cruiser derivative? We will delve into that in a bit.
That said, I don't like to approach a new vehicle with any preconceived notions - but the utterly stiff suspension of the Super Meteor had me convinced that RE wanted to take our attention away from the firm ride by offering us the Shotgun on the smooth and arguably flawless American highways. So let us begin by addressing that elephant in the room.
Ride Quality
The Super Meteor 650, while a formidable cruiser, has faced criticism for its stiff ride quality, a common concern in the cruiser segment given the low suspension travel especially at the rear. Royal Enfield took this feedback seriously when crafting the Shotgun 650. It's evident the moment you see the increased height of the rear fender. This seemingly subtle modification liberates an additional 8-9mm of wheel and suspension travel, addressing the most significant pain points of its donor.
Venturing onto the roads of America, a pivotal market for Royal Enfield's 650 range, we experienced firsthand the impact of this alteration. Riding on some of the relatively rough terrains showcase a noticeable improvement in ride comfort. Though not as plush as the Classic, the Shotgun handles undulating surfaces with greater finesse, promising a more forgiving ride even on the pothole-ridden roads typical of every day commutes.
It's important to note that the enhanced suspension setup of the Shotgun isn't a plug-and-play solution for existing Super Meteor owners, given the low fender height and the difference in wheel sizes.
Different Ergonomics
While the Shotgun retains the suspension mounting points, chassis, and engine from the Super Meteor, Royal Enfield has significantly changed the ergonomics changes to infuse that sportier character. Lower handlebars, an 18-inch front wheel, a 17-inch rear wheel, dropped front forks, increased rear suspension, and a nuanced adjustment to the rake angle collectively redefine the riding posture to a more aggressive and forward biased stance.
The mid-mounted foot pegs not only pay homage to Royal Enfield's heritage with a classic 90-degree knee angle but also contribute to the different riding style that sets the Shotgun apart from its stablemates. Riding through the winding roads near Mulholland and the Angeles crest, the more aggressive posture translated into an engaging and dynamic riding experience. The Shotgun immediately feels sharper than the Super Meteor 650 but it's crucial to highlight that there remains a perceptible disconnect between the front and rear suspension. The rear feels noticeably softer than the front and on sudden direction changes or switchbacks, the motorcycle seems too flexible. It isn't unnerving though and once you get the hang of it, the Shotgun becomes a hoot to ride.
It feels more responsive to rider inputs, offering a sense of connection with the road that enthusiasts crave. You can lean on the front end a lot more and the front end feel and confidence is of a higher degree than any of its 650 siblings - and that says a lot about the handling package of the Shotgun. So much so that I'm now yearning for Royal Enfield to use this magic potion on the Continental GT, which will now feel lethargic in comparison to the Shotgun's quick turn-ins.

About the Reviewer

This bike has a very different design and looks very beautiful with retro design and modern technology. The engine of the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is very powerful and reliable and is a great bike for city riding. The engine provides excellent power delivery and the riding posture is very comfortable for safety it gets dual channel ABS but comes in a single seat which is not very practical and the fit and finishing are less as compared to its rivals. It provides lots of customization options and is a great-looking bike.
