I mean, we do make them. Cars here are more focused on feature,comfort and Mileage. Indians love their fuel economy. For performance, expect an average of 150hp and 250nm torque on most cars. They also love SUV cuz of the mindset of bigger=better. So just like anywhere in the world, sedans and hatches are on the decline while SUV’s are being sold more. But I’m pretty sure manuals will never go away from India. Mainly due to the low maintenance and higher fuel efficiency it gives.

People who think 47bhp is fine, have never ridden a SV650. That's 68bhp, and is such a well balanced bike, with adequate performance that's still very managable for the inexperienced. Its not a sports bike, but that extra means you can still pass cars safely, and keep up to sped on a motorway.

@@jujuUK68 I agree with you but how much is the sv650, about 1.5k more, and does not have the classic look. Look at the Kawasaki w800, it cost about 4k more and has about the same power. The int650 is a good bike and i wish it had more power, but i had one and it was powerful enough to have fun on too! I testrode a CFMOTO 650 and it did not feel as good as the INT650. It was more powerful, but honestly not a crazy difference, it has about 65hp. I bet it is because the rev curve during normal or fun driving,(not maxed out), is very similar or better on the int650. Both my MT-03 and INT650 were about the same in 0-60 and that is about 6seconds... that is better than most pony cars of about 10 years ago, before the hp wars.. I grew up where a top tear v8 pony card would not even break 6 seconds. I don't know why the hate, you can get these bikes new now for a little under 5K!!!

Or RE could offer some BBK's getting the 350 near 500cc at least with some performance mods could be a fun ride. Great daily rider easy to get off stand and easy to get in out of garage.

It is not oil-cooled! It is a simple air-cooled engine, with an additional oil cooler. Huge difference. An oil cooled engine uses oil as a coolant (as well). From the cooler the oil goes directly to the cylinder head and absorbs some of the excess heat before returning to the reservoir. This cooler is used to maintain the oil temperature, true, but the oil is not used as a coolant.

650 looks both a cruiser and racing beauty

I have Continental GT, 35kw motor is almost enough, i canot imagine how enough is this 35Kw motor in 240 kg motorcycle.......but design is absolutely TOP!!! I thing, if Royal Enfield wont to follow competitiers, strongly need develop stronger engine....

It costs nearly as much as MT07 or SV650 I think I would go for SV650

For the looks I would get Triumph speed 400 for nearly 2k less , same power and it's lighter @@alphonsepipo1948

Those totally different motorcycles. You cant compare them just because they cost the same.

Lovely looking bike. In one respect, it's in the same class as a Rocket III, it's a cruiser with a modern twist! Two negative points for me, it's just too heavy for it's size and class, there's no need for it to be that heavy. Secondly, for the Euro market, I'd argue that RE don't need to match the competition on power, but likewise 55%(ish) of the power output of the competition isn't good enough. I've noticed some comments berating others for holding the same opinion as me, but if I'm expected/required to conform to somebody else's opinion, there's a political definition for that. I won't go there.

I think this bike would put a smile on your face on any day you feel like a ride. You're getting a lot of motorcycle for the money. It's not a superbike...It's not supposed be. It's a bike the masses can easily afford, and Royal Enfield is marketing itself to people who want to have some fun and enjoy themselves not hurting their pocket...These bikes are dependable and carefree riding. What more could you ask for...

I find it strange that this bike makes ten less horsepower than my 1978 kz750 kawasaki twin. Both are dohc balance shaft twins, what the hell happened for 45 years, are we going backwards?

It's the best looking RE 650 imo, looks such a useful 'just a bike', and I'm guessing (???) even tho power is only 6hp or so above the new Himalyan 450 and is much heavier, this Shotgun makes a better plodder at real life speeds. And at the price just above a midsize 300-400 scooter with much of the practicality. Mmmm, as they say

It’s lovely looking. But that’s a lot of weight for 40hp to carry around.
@tomryner58305 ай бұрын
Yes I Am a Triumph lover but can’t say I’m stupid about it But why would anyone buy this over a Triumph Speed 400? Much better power to weight, known quality and finish but almost 2000 pounds less. Don’t get it why pay more?
