Mesmerizing
ATTENTION CATCHER! It will make peoples head turn in your direction and amazing ride quality. Not for city ride. Engine will heat up rapidly.The best part of it is stance and way it is shaped. Totally different looking bike than any other Enfields bike.It is a mixer of cruiser and sports bike.One should consider this....

Super bike just dont expect superbike like power.
Good bike who are looking for low rider type bike....styling is best so far. Disclaimer not for weak people or chapri Weight is its pro not a con as it stabilises it on the road, maintainence is slightly on the upper side but thats ok if you want to drive a 650 cc u also have to face its consequences.

Shotgun 650
I brought this bike for around 4.7lakh and i you ask me if the the bike is worth that much i will say "definitely it is" because shotgun can give a comfortable seating posture and is comfortable for long term ride but in the case of seats i will only give a average comfortable rate as the seat will give u pain in the back if rode for long. The mileage efficiency depends upon how well you ride the perfect rpms gear shifts etc soo in the sense of mileage i have about 25~27 which is excellent. service cost are not much expensive still the parts are expensive. the gear box has a issue like the gear gets stuck in between 2&3 5&6
