Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Unveiled – Live Photos & Details

Royal Enfield has launched the all-new Himalayan 450 dual-purpose motorcycle at its annual Rider Mania event in Goa. Interestingly, the company has also showcased the exciting new RE Shotgun 650 at the event. It is basically the production version of the RE SG650 concept that debuted at the 2021 EICMA motor show.

The motorcycle shown in the pictures is a factory-custom and only 25 units will be produced; however, it clearly previews the styling of the production-spec model. The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is the brand’s 4th 650cc twin-cylinder motorcycle, joining the likes of Interceptor 650, Continent GT 650 and the Super Meteor 650.
