I bought the SM and I changed the exhausts as well as the rear suspensions. I will not change this bike for anything in the world. The more I drive, the more I love it. ❤❤❤

I’m buying my first bike and was so conflicted between the Shotgun and Super Meteor, but this video has helped me realize that I still want the Super Meteor, I LOVE the look of the Shotgun, but I want the classic American look of the Super Meteor and the fact that it’s intended to be a cruiser. In a perfect world I would have both.

Rider since 2006. I own 3 REs and a Harley... a pure cruiser Boi and the SM650 is THE BIKE❤ to own right now....Just loving the ride!!

I test rode both of them and ordered a stencil white Shotgun, will have it in a week. Great video!

Love the comparison video. Thank you. I use my Shotgun 650 for riding to work and 90 minute Sunday rides. She's a real looker and almost everytime I stop somewhere, people ask me about her.

Evening Tomboy. I love my 650 Super Meteor, it fits me like a glove. Although I have arthritis in both knees, neck and lower back, no riding pain at all. But I do think she would benefit from a decent set of rear shocks! Next thing on my list after my Cornwall ride 🤘. Safe cruising girl, and see you in the next one 👍😊...

I test rode the Super Meteor about a week ago, exact same color also, and I absolutely loved it. It would make a great third bike.

if Tomboy is making a video about your product, then you are definitely going places! RE!

Test rode both today and booked the shotgun. Sm is very relaxing n easy to ride. On the other hand shotgun felt a bit weird in beginning me being 5’11 still had to lean a bit and handle not wide but once I got used to it it turned out to be more engaging n fun. Since I’d be using it mostly for city n short weekend rides I booked shot gun. Found it more fun n engaging

I fell in love with the looks of the Interceptor, just stunning! But after I bought it I just didn't like the feel or the riding position, so I sold it. At that time I wasn't interested in the Super Meteor at all as I'm not into cruisers and that whole scene. But strangely after thinking about it for a few months I gradually got to like the looks of the Super Meteor more and more. So I ended up buying one and it is the best bike I have ever owned or ridden, I simply love it! But for me it was definately an acquired taste, but I am so very very glad I bought it, it's the ultimate touring machine 🤩😍😁

Happy watching the detailed comparison and listening to your voice. Enjoyable road. You are awesome.🎉

I like Bobbers but I also like Cruisers. I'm not keen on Blue especially on a bobber, I don't like black exhausts (sorry Sparrow) so I think, today I will choose the Cruiser. All REs look good, they obviously have a fantastic team in the Styling departemnt at the factory, who really did a good job with this Super MeteoR !

Got to test ride these both this past weekend. Love the Super Meteor. One of my favorite bikes. Shotgun left a little to be desired in my opinion but still a great bike.

Happily sat watching and then there you are riding through my home town and back at Cooper bs , im the same though which one to go for it would be a hard choice

Like you both say, that Shotgun really is screaming out for modification and personalisation. It'd be quite affordable to do. I personally don't like the standard paint options on the Shotgun but that's soon changed.

The best video comparison for real for sure! Thank you! As a SM 650 owner in Astral Black I added the RE Barend mirrors (highly recommended as with video. The vision behind is excellent!!) and converted to solo seat with the RE solo seat finisher. (Fender rack) Looks great stripped back! Despite Royal Enfield marketing, I have experienced the SM 650 as a brilliant commuter bike for riders who love a 60's (ish) style motorcycle. Very comfortable and relaxed. The forward controls are not as forward as some HD's I have ridden, so easy and comfortable to get along with. A smooth introduction to forward controls. Super smoth gear shifts and confidence inspiring rear brake control when needed. Front span adjustable brake, pulls the bike up with plenty. Perfect for a weekend ride for a few hours each way, but not sure I could enjoy the super touring miles! The output on the SM isn't at super performance level, however, absolutely for sure will at stop lights shoot you forward into clean air ahead of cars! Having ridden the Shotgun, love the single seat looks, I found the seat to be firm, the handling nice, but for me at 5'10 felt a little small for me in comparison. In this video, I think, both riders looked more in proportion (if that's important for looks) on the Super Meteor. Build quality and value for money on both bikes is awesome! Service intervals I wish were further apart! Not expensive but perhaps re-assure my confidence riding on a well serviced bike.🤔 Ride your own way, but both bikes will give you 'smiles for miles!'

Top info.What to choose? So many mods available, and on the way to transform into the perfect bike.Personally would love the upswept exhaust on the SG on the SM but retaining the luggage/more touring focus.The SG sadly seems a quick blast around town beast.

I bought a Shotgun 650 in Stencil White and it is so good

Не, всё же Shotgun. Как ни крути, приятная машинка. Синий очень классный цвет у них. Ну и Дейманте всегда приятнее смотрится на любых мотоциклах, чем мужик какой-то :)

I don’t like forward controls I prefer mid ! Good video x

Great video 👍👍👍 - I’ve been waiting for a comparison video! I was interested in a Super Meteor but local dealer only had a Shotgun demo available. Took it out to get an idea of the engine and instantly fell in love with it; now I’m conflicted about which to get! I’ve ridden cruisers in the past so have no problems with either fwd or mid controls but would have to see how much of a stretch the SM is as I’m 5’10” but short in the leg. I definitely prefer the SM colour choices over the SG but would need to see them in the flesh (so will probably wait for the NEC). I tested the blue SG and wasn’t a fan, it looked a bit cheap

Love both bikes but Shotgun graphics convinced me that the SM is the best choice. The author of the Shotgun color choices and graphics should imitate Triumph work in this department.

I would like you to try the Honda Rebel, how about a comparison between the 500 and the 1100, and know your opinion. I also like the Shotgun better for aesthetics, but I think its seat is too high for a bobber, so I think I would buy the Super Meteor. Greetings ✌

The shotgun looks badass but that's due to my preference, and I'd spend more time riding the streets than travels.

I traded in a sportbike I didn't ride for a Super Meteor 650 Celestial late last year and just added the RE bespoke hard side bags. It's an enjoyable bike and my bum knee doesn't complain that it's bent too far to be comfortable like it did with the sportbike. This past May, the RE demo truck was at my local dealer (I'm in the US) so I took a test ride on the Shotgun. It's similar but different so kind of on the spur of the moment, and because the dealer was offering a discount on all REs in stock while the demo truck was there, I traded in a tall adv-like sport tourer for the dark gray Shotgun they had just gotten in. It's sportier handling than the Super Meteor. I love that RE 650cc motor. But I miss not having a windshield on the Shotgun especially when I take it out on the highway. So I'm currently looking for one for it. If you can't decide which one you like best, buy one of each. :)

Royal Enfields have soul ❤

Great review but like you say they are the same but different. Might need to go ride both of them to decide. Keep up the good work Diemante. 🤓 💖

I love my SM! I only want to change the exhaust it’s so heavy. Maybe the suspension but Idk which to get. Any suggestions?

I'm considering on getting this bike. Is is possible to modify the seat to a lower position?

I also like the leg position on the Shotgun where the pegs are mid set and your legs rest in the middle. With this you can also saddle every time there are bad roads with undulation and pot holes. You cannot saddle on the super meteor so every time there is a pot hole you have to remain seated and the jerk is felt straight to your back bones and it's painful. Even though it's good for good roads as you seat relaxed with your feet stretched up front.

Do you think you could put mid-mount controls on the Meteor?

A girl on a Royal Enfield! Marry me, please! A very enjoyable video, though. Thank you for this comparison. Could you throw light on the engine noise, sounded unsettling.

Beautiful video.. thanks for amazing content ❤

Have tried to touch the exhaust on the road, but not successful yet! 😅 They do look low... The forward controls are quite high and not sure if they would scrape. But maybe I am not riding hard enough 🤔 😂

I've already got a 350 classic and gt650 not sure I've got room for another one😎

Sorry I got a bit confused. Was the Super Meteor the slightly more aggressive/sporty feeling bike?

I do love the look of the Shotgun.

Ive test ridden them both at a dealers myself, the Shotgun is great, but I wouldn't mind the Super Meteor with the Shotgun footrests on it , as I don't like forward footrests myself. I've weighed up the actual mounting points, they're on the same place on both frames, it doesn't look a difficult job to change them, just depends weather the cost of the footrests brackets and controls would be worth it?

Can u do a vedio on himlyan 450 ..and it will nice to see u in trump 400s the new talk in town .. like 400 500 segments are really bouncing back right .. u vedios r too good it heleped me i. Choosing my first bike .. i just ordered my shotgun Hopefully i will get it in a few days time

Great review, 🥰🥰🥰

Wheelbase length? I believe the Super Meteor is longer. The frame is completely different? Maybe just the rake of the fork is a smaller angle on the Shotgun...giving a shorter wheelbase.

How did you like both bikes? Great video 🤘🏻❤️😎🌹🤘🏻🎉

Ou wow today is my lucky day … two most beautiful bikes in one video … feel like i win jackpot … whata Beauties 😍

SM is better deal. It comes in 3 different seat options. So, perfcet for city rides and also with the luggage trailor for highway long rides. Shotgun have been cool if it was like a Jawa 42 bobber.

OMG.........!❤beautiful. It shall be possible someday,l believe!😊❤

Have seen some Super Meteors made into bobbers and they look better than the Shotgun because of the slightly longer wheelbase of SMeteor.

Got to see a shotgun in real life yesterday. The bike was very small for my 6’ frame. It’s a diminutive bike. Also the seat was very stiff.

For someone who loves the Hunter 350 but not 20hp, the Shotgun is very tempting as an "at home" serviceability compared to the competitors with shim valves. Its a big deal if you live hours away from the nearest dealer.

Hello, I Love your Video's an the Testrides are ver emotional 👍

I definitely agree about the peg position I too also much prefer mid to sport peg position leaning forward slightly, it feels much more natural. Great comparison and nice vid, big thanks 👍. Ps taller by a mm or a cm is still a win 😂 and what can you see in his mirrors? Was that a f@ck all 🤣🤣

Not my cup of tea ,,,BUT very interesting and lovely to see your partner giving his point of view ,,, even if he is wrong ,,just joking .Bobber all the way all day.

Boys can we put that SG footpeg to SM????? Need help . For SHORT rider the peg position in SM is very uncomfortable.❤❤

Classic 350 is the best

ShotGun❤❤❤❤❤

9400 euro in ireland 😮, RE are no longer a "cheap" option, if they ever were, based on what you get. I fear for RE in Europe, Triumph's new budget bikes will eat them for breakfast and if they bring out a low cc version of the speedmaster, then RE will be in big trouble.

I like them both looks wise but I'm 186 cm tall and their both a bit cramped for me .

Когда ноги вытянуты вперёд, то они не участвуют в амортизации тела, в итоге голос райдера, подрагивающий на каждой неровности, это очень четко подтверждает.

Clicked the video thinking there are 2 reviewers 😮

So beautiful 😍

Oh no! Not Wellingborough!

Think the bsa goldstar looks better than either. That iggy should have a pay rise as well for having that rucksack to carry round.😂

Out of the 350cc id go Hunter,Super Meteor 650 out of them

Nowadays 1080p looks like 480p.

I did a double-take, hehe, looks like one of my videos because you no doubt came from Colchester Kawasaki (EDIT: Oh no you didnt! hehe) and I ride around that region all the time. I tried the Super Meteor from there. As a Speedmaster rider I found it excellent, but feeling too 'modern'. Not as characterful and classic-feeling as my Speedmaster. Quite high revving like a modern engine. A bit too much of a 'normal' riding position. Those things, of course, are perfect if your used to modern mid-control bikes. An easy 'into' to cruisers. For me, though, it was too 'easy' hehe.

Darn girl 🔥

what I dont like about these 2, is speedometer. No RPM gauge

❤

nice motorbike......

Your vibrating voice nicely displays the main downside of the Super Meteor: the rear suspension gives you no doubt about the condition of the road.... for me, the poor suspension is emphasised by the feet forward driving position. Not my choice...

Conclusion: Super meteor would look cool on Old Mascular or a Fat guy with tatoo on his triceps. Where as Shotgun would look cool on Young lean handsome guy with leather jacket on him

Great review thanks. They are great value for what you get. I prefer the Shotgun over the Super Meteor because of the foot controls as you pointed out, I can’t do fwd controls.

good to see Tomboy on a Royal Enfield, anyways, they are more of a Girls Motorcycle Brand nowadays!!

I think the colour range for the shotgun is very poor & would put me off. (p.s. You've accidently washed your tee shirt on the hot wash.)

THEY ARE SAME MACHINE. ONLY DESIGN IS DIFFERENT.

Id rather choice the gorgeous lady ❤️

I didn’t think I would like the blue and yellow Shotgun, but then I saw it in person, and it’s quite fetching. And I’m already thinking a smaller swingarm mounted rear fender would look cool.

Shotgun. More classy. 😉

I like fat tyres, which bike has fatter tyres.

Easy, the shotgun looks like a toy. The SM is a proper motorcycle.

hahahahaha LOL 🐎🚗

Neither. Both are ugly. The rider, however, is lovely! ❤

Worst bike

Absolutely neither. Ugliest bikes I have ever seen. Designed by Stevie wonder 🙄
