Why shouldn't I buy the Shotgun 650?

I currently own a 2024 Hunter 350 Dapper White.

My wife and I are looking to upgrade. We’ve checked out the Scram and Himalayan 411 because we like their style and the ability to handle light off-roading.

However, we do ride on highways, and the Hunter falls short on top speed and comfort over longer periods, the 411 models, while more comfortable, also seem to struggle a bit in that regard.

We aren't fans of the riding position on the Interceptor, GT, and Super Meteor for a bike used for both touring and city riding, and the Himalayan 450, Guerrilla, and Bear don't suit our style (aesthetics).

My wife liked the Classic 650, but the color options available in Brazil didn't appeal to us, so we settled on the Shotgun 650—a bike whose style I personally love.

​

But to counter my own bias: why *shouldn't* I buy it?
