Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 (2024)
1) Meet the Shotgun 650 Royal Enfield’s Shotgun 650 takes the brand’s proven 648cc parallel-twin platform and wraps it in a low, custom-inspired bobber stance.

The bike leans neo-retro: round LED headlamp in a nacelle, metalwork you can actually touch, and tasteful paint schemes like Stencil White, Plasma Blue, Drill Green, and Sheet Metal Grey.
