Royal Enfield is all set to storm the Indian two-wheeler market with exciting new launches including the Hunter 350 and the Shotgun 650.
Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 was spotted recently in a near production-spec guise. RE has been quite active in our market lately with a ton of exciting launches planned for the coming months. One of the immediate models that will be launched in India is the Hunter 350, which is a version of the Meteor 350. And then, we might see the much-awaited Shotgun 650 that would carry the engines from the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650.

The image has been shared by MCN. It clearly indicates that Royal Enfield is trying to achieve that Bobber or Cruiser bike kind of look with the Shotgun. To start off, the front end has the trademark round headlamps with a compact cowl around it, the round turn indicators are positioned near the main headlight, and the front USD forks are also visible along with a uniquely designed pair of alloy wheels. From the little glimpses of the fuel tank, we can confirm that it bears the tear-drop type design, and the round digital instrument cluster and Tripper Navigation is visible too.

Apart from that, the motorcycle has a long twin exhaust pipe on either side, solid black side panels, single-seat setup with a place for a huge luggage carrier since this bike is designed to be used as a cruiser bike for long journeys, there are full-length rear mudguards, round taillamp unit with tiny round turn indicators at the rear too. All in all, this bike certainly looks like it has pulled off that Bobber style quite well and would appeal to the masses who are looking for a proper compact cruiser bike.

Just like the RE Interceptor and Continental, the Shotgun 650 might come with a 648-cc parallel air-cooled twin-cylinder engine that produces a healthy 47 hp and 52 Nm of peak power and torque. The transmission duties are carried by a 6-speed slipper clutch gearbox. We expect the prices to be around Rs 3 lakh, ex-showroom. The launch is expected to be sometime next year 2023.
