      • 650cc engine is easy to use in the city and very capable on the highway
      • Handles quite well for its 240kg kerb weight

    • Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

      • Soft and narrow seat is uncomfortable on longer journeys
      • The instrument console is pretty basic
      • Wide footpegs hit your shin quite often while crawling through traffic
      • 218kg kerb weight is on the heavier side

      Royal Enfield Shotgun 650

      • 240kg kerb weight can be felt at slow speeds or when moving the bike around in parking lots
      • Ride quality is far from good. People under about 75kg will be tossed around a lot
      • Given its weight and size, it should’ve had at least a basic traction control system for more safety

      Dont buy if you are underweight
      I choose this bike because. It gives you good features in this range and it moves smoothly on highways as compare to city but it is comfortable in city also. If you are buying this for long drives then you should buy this. Smooth on highway as compare to city its feature are far better than any other bikes and handling is so smooth if you are beginer than you should buy this one it will give you comfort while riding the bike. You should have Muscle power to control this above 20 year old person should buy this because if customer weight is not much then he can't even move it while off. Because of its heavy weight u can see some problems but i can give you the gurantee this is worth it bike i have ever seen i have more than 11 bikes but this is my favourite one.

      Love and Hate for this amazing ride Continues
      I chose this bike because of the Smooth ride, great pick up and effortless torque with its parallel twin engine. Also the safety on long distance rides with its anti breaking system (ABS). While it is little heavy for city traffic, but it is unbeatable for price and performance. I have bought the bike second-hand from another person. While he had clocked 15000 km on the odometer, I have already done 17000 within a year, with 3 cross-country and 1 coastal route ride covering the entire coastal belt. I am loving it, though sometimes the low mileage and frequent pit stops are annoying. I would recommend this bike to people who will use it for long-distance rides and not use it for going to office or riding in traffic. In city traffic a lighter 150cc is better. But on long distance rides, interceptor is smooth like a hot knife through a butter.

      Worth it..
      This is an excellent bike and had great fun riding. The back seat is include along with the bike. Had 1250km run including office travel and long rides and it has been fun doing both. Great comfort. The sheet metal grey gives a batmobile feel and experience. Looks damn good without the back seat, I generally carry it in my backpack.

      Review on Shotgun 650 (best in segment)
      The reason I buy this bike was to get a reliable bike with price range up to 5 lakh, and I wanted a comfort and a good looking bike, so rather than getting GT 650 I chose this, and honestly I didn't regret my decision. Its a bike with comfort and power. Even Super meteor is there but that is more suitable for Long ride. So for shorter and comfy ride I chose Shotgun 650. Talking about positives, Really good looking bike, you we be the centre of attraction. Royal Enfield reliable engine with one of the best performance in this segments. Gives confidence on high speed. Talking about the Negatives, its a Heavy bike, so not suitable for every person, heating issue, not a major issue as this is ha heavy bike and so this is common. Yes, a person who want a good looking bike with a satisfying mileage and comfort and suitable for city rides. Even a person who want long tours with this bike is also possible but still there are better touring bike with this price range.

      Best bike under 5 lakh .
      This looks very cool on road. I'm impressed by his looks, and it come with 650cc engine. It gives me extra attention on road. I also looked for re super meteor650 but I personally love this one. It's seat height, exhaust everything is amazing. It's feels very comfortable while riding. I went for long ride with this bike around 130 km from patna to my home town it felt so comfortable. However, the mileage is less It gives u around 17 - 18 per litre. I personally recommend this bike to people age above 25 because it is a strong machine with heavy weight. Even this bike is so stable but it needs power to handle. It's gives u old bullet vibe with extra features and power overloaded .
