Buying a yacht is a big commitment, especially your first one, and with the used-yacht segment shifting to a buyer’s market now is a good time to start scouting options.

Top 5 Azimut Motoryachts You Can Buy For Under $500K

April 23, 2019 7:07 pm

The pre-owned Azimut market has many choices ranging in size from 42 feet up to over 100 feet. A recent search of the yachting MLS turned up these popular models that can often be found priced below the $500,000 mark.

Azimut 55 Evolution [2002-11]

Overview:  The Azimut 55 Evolution (called the 55 Flybridge in 2001–04) displays a styling scheme very different from earlier Azimut motoryachts. Gone are the tiered cabin windows of previous years, replaced in the 55 by a pair of distinctive fin-shaped salon windows. Also new were vertical glass panels in the hullsides, a design innovation that introduced natural lighting into the master stateroom. Stepping inside from the covered aft deck, the open-plan salon of the Azimut 55 features a C-shaped leather sofa to port and entertainment center to starboard. The galley and dining area are forward, two steps up from the salon. Below, there are three staterooms and two full heads including a full-beam amidships master, VIP queen forward, and guest cabin with side-by-side berths. Lacquered cherry wood cabinets and trim are used throughout the interior. Note the power side windows at the lower helm. Crew quarters with a single berth and toilet are aft, accessed from a hatch in the aft deck sole. The spacious flybridge has a large sun pad to starboard, opposite the helm, while a refreshment/entertainment center holds a barbecue grill, ice maker and sink. Cat 715hp C12 V-drive diesels cruise at 25–26 knots (30+ top).

Azimut 50 Flybridge [2003-10]

Overview:  A popular model in the U.S., the Azimut 50 Flybridge—not to be confused with the newer Azimut 50 Flybridge introduced in 2015—is a richly appointed cruising yacht whose distinctive shark-fin windows set her apart from other yachts in this class. Offered with two or three stateroom interiors, a triple-panel sliding glass door provides entry to Azimut 50’s expansive salon. The U-shaped settee immediately to starboard converts to a double berth at the push of a button, and the cherry wood table can be raised or lowered by remote control. A facing settee is to port and the lower helm is forward, two steps up from the salon level. Opposite the helm and a few steps down is the Azimut 50’s beautifully appointed galley. The galley size depends on the layout—it’s spacious in the two-stateroom configuration (shown at left), but small when the third stateroom is added. The entire interior of the Azimut 50 is done in high-gloss cherry woodwork and trim. A washer/dryer combo is located in the crew quarters aft. A staircase to port in the covered cockpit leads to the flybridge with electric grill, wet bar, and lounge seating aft. Cat 715hp C12 diesels cruise at 26–28 knots (30+ top).

Azimut 47 Flybridge [2007-11]

Overview:   Like other Azimut models from the design board of Stefano Righini, the 47 Fly combines style and grace in a motoryacht of timeless elegance. Introduced in 2007, the 47 features a three stateroom, two head layout plus optional crew quarters aft. The owner’s suite is forward with a full-size double bed, two hanging lockers, and private ensuite head. Aft from the central lobby with its nicely integrated portside galley are two doors, each leading into nearly identical twin-berth guest cabins with standing headroom at the entryways. The starboard cabin is the VIP with berths that convert to a double and access to the second head. Both heads have circular shower stalls. A portside dinette is opposite the lower helm and the U-shaped lounge aft of the helm lowers to form an extra berth. In the cockpit, a sun lounge runs along the transom and a hatch provides access to the engine compartment. Additional features include a foredeck sun pad, teak cockpit and flybridge steps, bow thruster, and flybridge grille. Powered by dependable Caterpillar 575hp C9 V-drive diesels, the 47 Fly will cruise at 25 knots (29–30 knots top).

Azimut 43 Flybridge [2007-12]

Overview:   Sleek, luxurious, and powerful the Azimut 43 combines the signature features of Azimut’s larger flybridge yachts in a smaller, more personal package. The 43 is a relatively small motoryacht by European standards but there’s nothing small about the impression she makes to anyone who steps aboard. With her luxury-class accommodations and spacious flybridge, the 43 is an impressive yacht with as much eye appeal than anything in her class. The layout includes a comfortable owner’s stateroom with centerline queen berth, guest cabin with two single berths and a convertible sleeper in the main salon. Both heads contain circular stall showers. Large windows bathe the entire salon in sunlight. Headroom at the lower helm position is tight, but most 43s sold into the American market will likely be operated from the flybridge so that’s probably not a serious issue. Note the opening port over the galley counter. The flybridge is huge for a boat this size. An extended teak bathing platform, cockpit table with chairs, bow thruster, and a foredeck sun pad are all standard. On the downside, the engine room is a tight fit. Cummins 480hp diesels cruise at 24–26 knots (about 30 knots top).

Azimut Magellano 43 [2013-Current]

Overview: The Magellano is an efficient semi-displacement coastal cruiser whose distinctive styling (note the plumb bow) offers something very different in Italian motoryacht styling. Available in both flybridge and hardtop models, the yacht is fitted with first-class materials and an extensive list of standard and optional equipment designed to make living as comfortable as possible. The Magellano’s innovative layout includes three roomy cabins — a forward master with en suite head, a portside double and a starboard stowage space that can be configured as a single. A second day head is on the starboard side. A large aft swim platform makes boarding easy, and a transom cut-out provides access to the cockpit with its L-shaped lounge seating and folding table. Wide side decks are protected by sturdy railings with gates for side boarding. The 43’s flybridge helm station provides an ideal overlook. Next to it, there is a large reversible C-shaped sofa offering guests total relaxation. According to Azimut, the 43’s hull has proven as efficient at trawler speeds of 7 knots as it is at 18 knots. No lightweight, Cummins QSB 5.9 350hp V-drive diesels cruise at 15–16 knots (low 20s top).

Hundreds of Americans are in Haiti amid the violence. One Indiana couple is desperately trying to evacuate 2 teens they adopted

It’s been more than a week since Missy and John Tennant spoke to the two teen boys in Haiti they recently adopted.

The boys, 13 and 15 years old, are trapped in the Caribbean country, hiding with other children inside an orphanage surrounded by gang violence, Missy Tennant told CNN. They’re scared – and when they hear gunfire, they take cover under their beds, she said.

“They don’t understand why they can’t come home,” she said. “They are very fearful.” But they’ve kept their faith and “they are trusting in God, that He will protect them,” she added.

The Tennants are among a number of Americans working to evacuate loved ones amid rampant gang violence , political instability and an escalating humanitarian crisis in Haiti.

Many other US citizens in the country are hoping to get out – either with the help of the US government or independent rescue efforts usually led by volunteers – as the situation deteriorates. More than 30 US citizens were on a Sunday State Department charter flight that landed in Miami, and nearly 1,000 Americans in Haiti have reached out to the US government, State Department Deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel told CNN Tuesday morning.

On Tuesday, Haitian airline Sunrise Airways announced it will operate special flights between Cap-Haitien, a city on Haiti’s north coast, and Miami on March 25. The airline told CNN on March 1 it had suspended “all flights” due to safety reasons.

The evacuation efforts offer just a small glimpse into the danger and chaos that many people desperate to flee – or desperate to rescue family members – are faced with. And most Haitians don’t have the option to leave.

The crisis in Haiti intensified earlier this month as criminal gangs and militias began wreaking coordinated havoc, security sources said, emptying once-bustling streets and leaving necessities including food, medicine and gas in short supply.

In the capital city of Port-au-Prince – more than 100 miles from Cap-Haitien – the airport is shuttered and under siege by gangs who are  fighting  with police in the area. The gangs have taken control 80% of Port-au-Prince, according to UN estimates.

Back in Indiana, the Tennants are desperate to get their two children home.

They met the boys a few years ago, shortly after starting the adoption process in 2018, Missy Tennant said. Since then, they’ve developed a strong relationship. The teens call them “mom and dad,” she said. The Tennants brought the children’s dog from Haiti to the US in anticipation of the teens’ arrival, she added.

The adoption process was finalized last year, but remaining paperwork and travel documents were slow to be processed, especially due to the ongoing violence in Haiti, Missy Tennant said. And when the couple thought the teens were close to finally making the journey to the US, the nation’s deteriorating situation brought everything to a grinding halt.

Missy Tennant said there’s still documentation the two children need in order to travel to the US, but amid the violence and chaos, it feels “virtually impossible” to get it.

“We need to have our paperwork so we can jump on it and get the kids out. This is what a lot of parents are struggling with right now,” she said.

‘Feels like we are sinking in quick sand,’ trapped American says

As the crisis continues, nearly 1,000 Americans have filled out a “crisis intake form,” which helps the State Department track Americans and to ensure information on evacuations and consular services gets to them, Patel, the department deputy spokesperson, said.

That number includes people who want to leave Haiti but also others who “might be interested in staying in touch with the embassy” and want to receive more information, including departure opportunities, Patel said.

The US is “continuing to look at what options are available” in light of limited commercial options, Patel said, but did not discuss any concrete plans for another airlift.

The situation in Haiti is now “one of the most dire humanitarian situations in the world,” Patel had said in earlier remarks Monday.

Among those still trapped is missionary Jill Dolan and her family, who are stuck in Port-au-Prince. They are hiding in a guest house near the closed airport, CNN affiliate WPTV reported.

The family continues to provide updates online through its nonprofit, Love A Neighbor , which oversees an orphanage and a family preservation project in rural Haiti.

“Feels like we are sinking in quick sand,” Dolan’s organization wrote in a Facebook post on Saturday. “However, we are grateful to be alive.”

Project DYNAMO , a nonprofit search, rescue and aid group run by veterans and based in Tampa, Florida, has also been conducting evacuations of Americans from Haiti. It says it has received more than 100 rescue requests.

“It is very hard,” cofounder and CEO Bryan Stern told CNN in a video interview Monday. The group has been focused on Americans stranded in remote areas where no other rescue resources exist. That has often meant several modes of transportation are required to complete an evacuation. “We’ve been working day and night,” Stern said.

Some have evacuated. Many can’t leave

Stern was in the neighboring Dominican Republic during his interview with CNN Monday, sitting alongside Florida residents Miriam Cinotti and Linotte Joseph, who were in Haiti for missionary work and were evacuated by the nonprofit on Sunday.

“We took a plane, a boat and a bus,” Stern said, describing that rescue operation. “And we had to walk on the beach for a little bit.”

“It is hard, it is complicated, and it’s even more complicated without any assistance,” he said, adding the group relies on nothing but donations to fund their missions.

Both Cinotti and Joseph said they were relieved to be evacuated, but they worry about others, including Dolan, who are trapped amid the violence.

“We’re here, and we’re safe,” Cinotti said. “But on this end, it’s like, you know, it should have been them that came first. Those (are) things that go through your head.”

Boyce Young, a 75-year-old former Marine from Georgia who arrived in Haiti in mid-February to do aid work, was trapped with another American until Monday afternoon when they managed to escape, his daughter Kim Patterson told CNN.

The pair found a boat that took them up the coast to the border with the Dominican Republic. They got off on the Haitian side, had their passports stamped, crossed the border and drove six hours to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, where they remained Tuesday morning, Patterson detailed.

While some Americans have managed to escape, many locals must navigate daily life with dangers often lingering at virtually every corner. CNN spoke to one local aid organization who shared what the violent crisis has done for their work.

Friends of The Children of Haiti was founded by an American couple in 1992 and has often had to operate under challenging conditions. But in the past few months, the situation has severely worsened and the organization has completely run out of at least one critical medication, the group said.

André Boyer starts and ends his day at the clinic of Friends of The Children of Haiti in Jacmel, about four hours outside of Port-au-Prince, where he has been sleeping at night and working during the day to serve patients in dire need of medical assistance. He oversees the organization’s Vital Health Clinics and Weekly Urgent Care, which provide free medicine to the people of Haiti from infants to the elderly.

That mission has become a balancing act as supplies have dwindled dramatically, leaving Haiti’s most vulnerable without the lifesaving medicines they desperately need.

One medicine in particular, Medika Mamba, known as “peanut butter medicine,” has been used to treat malnutrition in children from infancy to 3 years – but the organization is completely out of it with no access to any more, Nathan Ruby, its executive director, told CNN.

“It is the closest thing to a miracle I’ve ever seen in person,” Ruby said. “This will take a 2-year-old child who is going towards starvation and literally grab these kids and pull them right back into a healthy physical body.”

“We’re out and we can’t get any more,” he said, adding for the children who were on it, “it becomes a life-and-death situation because these kids are so severely malnourished.”

‘dune: part 2’ topping $500 million worldwide.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Discovery’s Dune: Part Two is ahead of expectations with spectacular 63% domestic and 60% international holds. It should top $500 million globally by close of business Sunday on the West Coast (which includes morning screenings in all Asian, Oceania, and some other markets). The sequel stands at $495 million as of the calendar weekend, likely passing $500 million shortly after midnight Sunday in Honolulu.

Timothée Chalamet stars in "Dune: Part Two"

The current box office tally puts filmmaker Denis Villeneuve Dune: Part Two back on track per my early estimates, after its weekday and second weekend performances initially led me to dial my expectations back somewhat to a more conservative (but still impressive) 40-45% hold. It’s now highly likely Dune: Part Two will top $560-570 million next weekend, and from there should have no trouble making its way north of $600 million by the following weekend, if not sooner.

But that following weekend is set to be a doozie — Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire arrives as the first major challenge to Dune: Part Two’s primary target demographics, and could result in at least a temporary end to those phenomenal 30-40% drops Part Two has enjoyed.

The sequel is the latest chapter in Legendary-WBD’s MonsterVerse shared universe of Godzilla and King Kong franchises, entirely separate from Toho Studio’s own record-smashing Godzilla series, including recent Oscar winner Godzilla Minus One .

300 Billion Crypto Price Crash Suddenly Accelerates As Bitcoin Ethereum And XRP Traders Brace For A Fed Shock

Apple’s surprise update just made iphone more like samsung, wwe raw results, winners and grades on march 18, 2024.

If anything this month can take a big bite out of Dune: Part Two’s momentum, it’s Godzilla x Kong . Animated sequel Kung Fu Panda 4 briefly slowed Part Two , but not by much more than a typical modest second weekend drop before the Dune sequel bounced back and started winning almost every other day again on box office charts.

April is where we are likely to see more sustained and average weekly drops for Dune: Part Two , because of Monkey Man and Civil War arriving in the first half of next month. By then, Dune: Part Two will probably be nearing the end of its theatrical run, or will have held well enough that it is still generating a couple of million per week and hanging on until The Fall Guy hits theaters May 3rd.

I expect a final cume in the neighborhood of $625 million for Dune: Part Two , but if it keeps overperforming even against Godzilla x Kong and still has low 30-40% weekly/weekend declines, then it might reach $645 million or a bit higher.

I have trouble seeing a scenario at this point where Dune: Part Two tops $650-700 million without some miraculous holds — and perhaps holiday boosts such as Easter weekend — or maybe a re-release if some of the upcoming wide releases flounder or flop at premium screens. But that’s a high-end outcome and the film is already a big hit at $500 million, let alone the eventual $600+ million it will enjoy, so missing the $700 million mark isn’t a knock on the film’s performance.

Dune: Part Two has already surpassed the $434 million lifetime gross of the first Dune back in 2021, and will best that figure by roughly 40-45%. The studio was hoping for 50% and $650 million threshold, if not closer to $700 million territory and up. But I think the film needed the Christmas holiday release slot taken by Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom to have the clearer runway and greater momentum buildup — and in retrospect, I suspect it would’ve benefited both films to swap calendar dates.

Regardless, Warner can now boast $1.75 billion in combined global receipts for their December 2023 and early-2024 releases Wonka , Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom , The Color Purple , and Dune: Part Two . And with the upcoming Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire , WBD will push that figure past the $2 billion threshold.

As I’ve noted repeatedly in the past, 2023 was a bad year all around and a particularly bad year, and WBD relied on the massive success of Barbie and Oppenheimer — $1.44 billion and $959 million, respectively, or $2.4 billion combined — to offset (and soften the narrative) of their otherwise mostly painful box office outcomes. This was of course the story for most studios as well, including Disney’s family of franchise-making production companies.

So this is all wonderful news and a nice change of pace for WBD so far, even if those holiday numbers mask the fact Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom underperformed badly, The Color Purple basically flopped (and the weak marketing plus lack of notable Oscar campaign didn’t help), and Wonka played precisely at the moderate level the studio needed from least one of their holiday releases.

Those aren’t really anything to write home about as a collective holiday performance, but it was enough to let Warner shift the conversation, and now a new year starting off with a Dune -sequel-sized bang is furthering that narrative for the studio at a time when they desperately need to prove the studio can put up big numbers and fight its way back to dominance.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s release slate for the rest of the year could do the trick, albeit with inevitable underperformances and flops along the way. I think by end of summer, WBD will be sitting at around $3 billion in cumulative box office, starting from their December 2023 holiday slate (which I’m using as an example of the narrative “turnaround” moment for WBD and the impression of a “string of success” that legitimately includes enough success this year to move the narrative into the truth column, so to speak).

And of course, October 4th brings what is expected to be one of the biggest and most anticipated films of the year — Joker: Folie à Deux , the sequel to 2019’s $1 billion supervillain origin blockbuster Joker . That and the Christmas season release of the animated The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim should be enough to push WBD’s holiday-to-holiday box office run to a grand total of over $4 billion worldwide.

Of course, those 2023 December releases account for $1.1 billion of these sums, so the 2024 WBD box office is likely to be around $3 billion, but this is obviously an early best guess. But with Dune: Part Two , Godzilla x Kong: The New Kingdom , Joker: Folie à Deux , and The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim likely to combine for at least $2.25 billion, there shouldn’t be much heavy lifting to be done by the rest of the studio’s 2024 slate to get to $3 billion for the year.

Anything north of $3.5 billion is cause to break out champagne at WBD headquarters, and anything in the $2.5 billion range will be bad news signaling several underperformances, several more moderate to expected performances, and only a couple of strong plays.

The news now is good, though, and the prospects are good for a a much stronger performance this year for WBD despite the fact it’s also an overall softer year for Hollywood with far fewer tentpole releases and expectations that box office will shrink this year. But that could produce lots of opportunity for the films that do get released to overperform if and when they connect well with audiences, and WBD is lucky that their slate features several movies with potential to be standouts.

Dune: Part Two is the first such standout, and it will also come back to the forefront in the fall and winter for awards season. Which is why I expect WBD to do a double-feature rerelease of Dune and Dune: Part Two — especially if summer IMAX and Dolby Cinema numbers are struggling with other new releases.

That could be enough to put Dune over $450 million and Dune: Part Two north of $650 million and maybe even closer to $700 million. But I’m more inclined to guess a Christmas season rerelease to take advantage of the holiday, and to get the film into Academy voter conversations again.

Thai PM Meets $500,000 Albino Buffalo In 'Soft Power' Push

• Order Reprints
• Print Article

Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin took the bull by the horns Wednesday as he welcomed an unusual visitor to his offices -- an enormous white buffalo that recently sold for $500,000.

The bulky bovine, named Ko Muang Phet, was renowned in Thai farming circles as a stud animal but hit the mainstream last week with its big-ticket sale, and earned a trip to Government House to meet Srettha.

Standing 1.8 metres (six feet) tall, the four-year-old albino from western Phetchaburi province weighs 1.4 tonnes -- almost three times more than the average buffalo.

Ko Muang Phet has already become a minor TV star, featuring in an episode of the hugely popular "Sound From The Field Of Love" soap opera.

Srettha -- no shorty himself at 1.92 metres tall -- went nose-to-nose with the horned celebrity in front of Government House.

"I had no idea we had such beautiful buffalo," Srettha told gathered reporters, gingerly patting one of the creature's huge curved horns.

"Are there more like this?"

Water buffalo are ubiquitous in the Thai countryside, prized as sturdy and reliable farm animals, and albino specimens are particularly valuable because of their rarity.

And big bulls are big business -- last year a farmer in northern Phitsanulok province reportedly sold his 1.4-tonne bull for more than $1.45 million.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Srettha said the Thai Buffalo Breeding Association had asked the government to promote the animals as a tool of "soft power".

Ko Muang Phet's delighted owner Jintanat Limtongkul was all for the idea.

"I want people to get the know buffalo more. Thai people used to be close to agriculture and buffalo, but our lifestyle nowadays has distanced us," he told reporters at Government House.

He pledged to bring four giant buffalo to meet tourists at Bangkok's backpacker hotspot of Khao San Road next month for Songkran -- the Thai new year festival which sees thousands of revellers soak one another in the streets in a mass water fight.

2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 vs Honda Rebel 500: The $7,000 Cruiser Comparison

2024 royal enfield shotgun 650.

The Shotgun 650 is Royal Enfield's second 650cc cruiser. It's the production version of RE's SG650 concept shown in 2021 and carries forward the funky bobber-inspired design. Its contemporary looks are easily its USP, followed by the tractable parallel-twin mill and likable set of features. 

Engine 648cc, parallel-twin

Transmission Six-speed

Torque 38.5 pound-feet

MSRP $6,899

• Funky design
• Trusted 648cc powerhouse
• Likable features
• 529-pound curb weight
• Low claimed efficiency

2023 Honda Rebel 500

Expert Opinion: The Honda Rebel 500 is an agile cruiser squarely set in the mid-displacement range. Ample low-end torque and high-end performance make the Rebel 500 suitable for riders looking for a sporty standard as well as new riders looking for a confidence-building starter bike. Features such as all-LED lighting and LCD instrumentation combine with updated styling to make the Rebel 500 a modern ride with classic charm.

Engine 471 cc Parallel Twin

Transmission 6-Speed manual

Torque 31.9 LB-FT

MSRP $6,449

• Proven 471cc engine
• Simple yet stylish aesthetic
• Barely any features
• No major updates since inception

Cruiser motorcycles enjoy an unmatched popularity in the United States of America. While much of the credit goes to Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycles, several non-American bikemakers are also swarming the segment in 2024. Particularly, in the metric segment between 500-650cc.

One of the biggest names in this space is the Honda Rebel 500. It more or less kickstarted the entry-level metric cruiser segment and remains a key player today, even without any drastic updates since its inception. After all, it has a likable stripped-back design, a punchy parallel twin, and the Honda reliability we all love.

This year, however, it’s under big threat by a variety of names. We’ve already told you about the 2025 CFMoto 450CL-C, and now, Royal Enfield has announced its Shotgun 650 here. So today, we’re focusing on just how the Shotgun compares against the Rebel 500. The goal? To find out whether the latter is still a worthy pick with the SG650 in the picture. Or whether it’s severely outgunned. Let’s find out.

In order to bring you the most up-to-date and accurate comparison possible, we've relied on information sourced straight from the manufacturers (Royal Enfield and Honda). For information regarding our ranking and grading procedures, please refer to our methodology policy.

New CFMoto 450CL-C vs Honda Rebel 500: The 500cc Metric Cruiser Comparison

Design and technology.

The Shotgun 650 serves as a funky sibling to the mature Super Meteor 650 . As a result, you get a modernized aesthetic from head to toe. Up front, there’s a new X-shaped housing for the LED headlight, topped by bar-end mirrors and a short fender. The fuel tank is new too, with a peanut-type shape and funky graphics (depending on the colorway).

Our favorite bit, though, is the bobber-inspired tail end. It comprises a dangling single-piece saddle, joined by a wide fender and two pea-shooter exhausts. All the mechanicals are blacked out for a pinch of sportiness, and you won’t find any chrome treatment. It’s safe to call this a breath of fresh air in the 500-650cc cruiser space .

On the flipside, the Rebel 500 is anything but fresh. It’s had more or less the same aesthetic since 2017. Yes, Honda threw in a quad-LED headlight in 2020, but everything else has been unchanged for a while now. Some of its key aspects include a swooping fuel tank, a small front fender, and a chopped rear fender. It’s a simple and likable design which we have no complaints about. Our issue, though, is with the ignorance and lack of updates from Honda.

The Shotgun 650 takes the cake in the livery department, too. It’s offered in four colors–Stencil White, Plasma Blue, Green Drill, and Sheetmetal Grey–while the Rebel comes in three options–Laurel Green, Pearl Black, and Pearl Smokey Grey. More options aside, RE’s liveries are much more intriguing than the simple options offered by Honda. So bonus points there.

As for technology, the ball is again in the Shotgun’s court (yes, a Royal Enfield trumps a Honda in the feature department!). The RE comes armed with a semi-digital instrument cluster, complete with smartphone connectivity via a Tripper pod. This is topped by adjustable levers, a USB port, dual-channel ABS (as standard) , and all-LED lights. In comparison, the Rebel simply has all-LED lights and a puny digital negative LCD.

Engine Performance And Capability

The Shotgun 650 and Rebel 500 both employ parallel twin engines . They’re paired with six-speed transmissions, a slipper clutch, and a final chain drive. But aside from these similarities, the two bikemakers have taken different approaches elsewhere. This results in some sizable differences between the two.

Powertrain Comparison

Royal Enfield has equipped the Shotgun 650 with its 648cc, twin-cylinder engine from the Super Meteor 650 . Whereas, the Rebel 500 comes with Honda’s 471cc, parallel-twin engine seen on the CBR500R and CB500R. This extra capacity helps the SG produce 1.5 horsepower and 6.5 pound-feet more than its rival. To make matters worse, RE’s power output kicks in earlier in the rev range for better tractability than the Rebel’s output.

However, it’s not a clean sweep. The Rebel might be low on power, but its engine is good for a claimed efficiency of 65.6 miles per gallon. This is a sizable 13 MPG up from what RE claims for its new cruiser. So even though the Rebel has a smaller three-gallon tank, its overall range should be 196 miles–some miles more than the RE’s 189-mile range from its 3.64-gallon unit.

Ride And Handling

Like everywhere else, the Rebel 500 is a simple motorcycle in the underpinning context. It has a tubular trellis chassis , suspended on telescopic forks and dual shock absorbers. This is partnered by 16-inch alloy wheels, each with single disc brakes to slow you down.

On the flipside, the Shotgun is built around a steel double-cradle chassis. It relies on more modern Showa USD forks and dual shocks, attached to 18/17-inch wheels. Along with the forks, the SG has bigger disc brakes than the Rebel. Another pro is the 650’s 5.5-inch ground clearance–0.6 up from the Honda.

Honda Rebel 1100: Every Model Year Compared

But the Rebel 500 strikes back hard in other aspects. It has an uber-low 27.1-inch saddle height–a whopping 3.9 inches lower than the SG. Another big punch is the 408-pound curb weight. This is 121 pounds down on the RE, which would not only affect overall performance but also the riding dynamics.

Pricing And Availability

Finally, let’s talk pricing. Royal Enfield has priced the Shotgun 650 at a starting MSRP of $6,899 . The price goes up to $7,099, depending on the color option you pick. Meanwhile, the 2024 Rebel 500 sells for $6,499 for the non-ABS version and $6,799 for the ABS version. So essentially the price difference is just $100 between the Rebel’s ABS version (we won’t recommend the non-ABS model) and the Shotgun 650.

For that 100 bucks, you’re getting a more modern, more powerful, and better-looking product. Yes, it’s not perfect (the weight is a big concern), but there’s no denying the Shotgun justifies the extra money impeccably. So are you ready to give the new Shotgun a chance? Or will you go for the old-but-trusted Rebel? Tell us in the comments.
