Royal Enfield Shotgun 650

Quick review

Design

Well-finished bobber-style machine but twin exhausts stick out a little.

Usability

It's usable enough but you need to be mindful of the low 140mm ground clearance.

Engine

Smooth 648cc parallel-twin has an addictive mid-range, has a deep rumble.

Ride & handling

More upright riding position and mid-set pegs help improve ride comfort, composed in the bends.

Features

Same feature-set as Super Meteor 650.

Verdict

It's a reasonably usable motorcycle but comes across as a rather niche one.

Expected price

Will be priced below Super Meteor 650 that starts at Rs 3.64 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
