Great video! I'm the proud owner of a Shotgun 650 in plasma blue, just like the one you rode, and I absolutely love it. I had a Meteor 350, which I loved as well, but it just couldn't quite keep up on the freeways here in Phoenix, AZ. The Shotgun looks a lot like my Fireball Yellow Meteor, with all the blacked out bits. And with the 300 extra cc's, it's just perfect. So I traded my 350 in on one after test riding one at a demo event. I fell in love immediately. I still think the Meteor 350 is a brilliant bike as well, and in a perfect situation, I would be able to own both. But having to choose one, the Shotgun was the clear choice for me.

yes. that's my view as well. if only we all had bigger garages and more money. you made the right choice though. its a good upgrade on the 350.

I want one

me too. I think we should just treat ourselves. (If only I had some more money)

The Shotgun 650 has a 2 step ignition, it's usually good practice to do one click and wait 5 for the fuel pump to kick in and then go for ignition...just my 2 cents

I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for the info 👍

I just took advantage of the Motogb sell off. I got a Meteor 350 for £3200 on the road from Robinsons of Rochdale. They were superb to deal with.

Great stuff. You definitely have to take advantage of these low prices. It’s going to be a shock for people when the prices jump up £2000 over night.

Great vid mate. Love this bike, but rode it in appalling weather. you got the sun today, lucky you. Cheers Mick

Yes mate. Definitely made the most of the sun. 😎

Good review sir. I rode this very bike at the beginning of June & loved it. I told them at the time that the rear reflector had fallen off. Obviously it's slipped their minds 🙄. Regards, Mo 😊 👍.

@GillyBikes No. Two days later l tested a V7 Stone and loved that even more 😄. I haven't decided on a change yet. My current bike is a Gen2 ZZR1400 which lve had for over 5yrs so l'm still considering my options as comfort & weight are starting to become my priorities. Regards, Mo 😊 👍

@momarsden3053 the smart thing to do is just keep trying bikes. So many to choose from now.

That is a really nice looking bike. Great to see you riding around with more blue sky. Out in all weathers. I’ve bought you another Coffee. Well deserved.

A very nice bike and at a great price 👍 I had a Hunter 350 and totally agree with what your saying regarding power 👍

these are a step up in power. you cant beat the 350's though for around town riding. great bikes.

best looking RE bike they produce now, and looks like they go ok, obviously not fast but fast enough to break any UK speed limit and that is enough for many people, great review by the way

They do look nice. I agree with you about the looks. Definitely fast enough and thank you 😁

looks quite nice but honestly prefer the style of the hntr, shame they've not done a larger engine version of that yet

I’m a big fan of the hntr as well. That would be amazing with a 650 engine. Hopefully that’s one they do in the future

Good review. Glad I don't live in England cause your yellow number plates are way too large and detract from the beaut motorcycle. Here in Australia our rear only number plates are half the size and you can put on a customised coloured plate!

@GillyBikes

Yes. They are pretty bad over here. If you put a small plate on you will definitely be fined. Stupid rules.

I wish get some other colors too. I would love a plasma versión in red.

Some other colour options would be good. No doubt RE will bring some different colour options within a year. They seem to do that with their bikes.

Are u using the wide angle lens while riding the bike in your action camera or its just normal view

I’ve not really messed with the camera since I bought it. Do you think I should change it? Pretty much out of the box and attached to my helmet.

Было бы интересно посмотреть замену масла, к примеру, на данном мотоцикле. Но не просто короткое видео, а очень подробное: какие уплотнения менять, какие шайбы и прочее
