The more reviews I see on the Shotgun the more I'm falling in love with it. Seems like guys all the way from London, to India and Australia are just loving it!!!

That does look the nuts 👍

The thing is Nick, arguably, the Shotgun is not better than the Original Interceptor 650 For one, it costs more, so you should expect better switch gear, upsidedown forks, and Navigation devices ect for the extra money you are paying, It's all to do with seating position really, some folks like myself don't like forward foot rests, I'm thinking folks who review these Shotguns and Super Meteor's get a bit carried away, Because they are the latest bike's out, The Ultimate Royal Enfield is Still the Interceptor 650 in my opinion 👍 And the Interceptor is Definitely Much more Sportier riding position that the Shotgun. (More prone), I've been riding motorcycles for 50 years and owned many different types and sizes of Motorcycles, And in all those years, I can tell you, The Ultimate Machine is the Royal Enfield Interceptor 👍 Great video though, good to see you doing a decent subject again Nick 👍 By the way my Interceptor which I've owned from new since 2021 has never had issues with revs dropping and stalling? It's perfect 👌 Cheers Paul

It's all very much down to opinions. Im just expressing mine having owned an interceptor. the first gen interceptor is better value for sure. Have you tried one paul? If not, please do and let me know. Cheers for your write uo. They are both great bikes, nevertheless

Looking to purchase one of these myself for my first bike! They look great! However seems near impossible to get a quote for these in the UK with the bike being so new! Feel I’ve exhausted all angles!

Try the 350 meteor. It’s just as fun. Cheap to run and insure

Slightly better than the intercepter makes this the best 650 twin on the market. Buy it.

Ye - a nice bike. Also nice to see that Jodie is on the case too 😀 Since I can not ( the only dealer hasn't got it here yet ) try it, I'll ask : How are the brakes ?? - HONESTLY ! ( only 1 disc in front - for a 240kg bike...) ... How is the shock absorbing ( front / rear ) ?? I did like alllllot the Interceptor, but the tubed/spoked wheels and the horrible ( to my taste ) seat didn't do the trick 🤷‍♂ May be this one will 🤔🤔

@@nicksepisode i loved the dynamic...but yess no pressure...just do it because it is what excites you! I loved Jodie's story cos I was getting up from the automatic scootes into geared motorcycles at the same time Jodie was learning to ride! And seeing her just kept me motivated! So a big thank you to her! Bigger bikes (ahem even the 350s are big bikes here) are unfortunately relatively more of a luxury thing in India so I still haven't bought mine! Hope to get that sorted out soon! Take care you two!

How would you rate the Shotgun to the Super Meteor 650?
