Discussions and Questions Royal Enfield Shotgun 650
How does the Shotgun 650 compare to other bikes of its price?
13 January 2025 09:28
I feel it is short of something like the Kawasaki Z650. Heavier, not as sporty, and less power. It’s got a totally different character though, so it depends on what you’re after.
Is the Shotgun 650 too expensive for what it is?
13 January 2025 09:28
It's only overpriced if you are comparing specs on paper. The style and experience is what Shotgun is all about and its harder to quantify. It’s worth every rupee for the right buyer.
Is the Shotgun 650 a gimmicky bobber, or custom bike true and through?
13 January 2025 09:28
I think you call it a legit custom bike. The three variants are designed with actual custom builders in mind, and Royal Enfield worked with them to create the bike. It's not one off, however, it's much more custom than their standard models.
Is the Shotgun 650's handling better or worse than other Royal Enfield models?
13 January 2025 09:28
It’s a bit of an issue weight wise for me. The handling is noticeably affected by the fact it's significantly heavier than the Interceptor, especially at speeds because of that. Once you're moving though it's pretty smooth.
Is the Shotgun 650's single seat practical?
13 January 2025 09:28
I actually like the single seat. This makes me enjoy solo rides and the freedom that goes with it. Also, it’s a perfect excuse when someone asks you to give him a ride!
