The upcoming Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is really growing on me now that we can see it without that ugly Tron-esque livery. Now it looks even better than the Super Meteor!
I wonder if they'll move the USB port to a more sensible location (the handlebars)? It'd also be nice to see a centred speedo with no tripper, but I'm not expecting that.
@dHeinemann Seriously considering adding this to the garage. Still holding out for a 650 Adv though. Having said that, I had a good look at the new Himalayan at a bike show recently, that looks great too and has similar power.
@dHeinemann yeah, I can't see that happening, either. I think the fact that the Himalayan is their first top to bottom new bike in a couple years, and it's liquid cooled is really telling.
I just hope that RE don't lose their true vintage heritage. The simplicity of my Inty650 is what I love about it.
@kev Same here, the simplicity of the Royal Enfields is a major part of their appeal for me. I also don't like that all their new bikes seem to have an off-centre speedo and Tripper. Hopefully the Classic/Bullet 650 will have a vintage style instrument cluster just like the 350.
