How does the Shotgun 650 compare to other bikes of its price?

Priced between ?3.59 lakh to ?3.73 lakh (ex-showroom) the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is a part of a competitive segment in the Indian motorcycle market. The engine is a 648cc parallel-twin that pushes out 47.65 PS at 725, rpm, and 52 Nm of torque at 5,250 rpm. That puts it in the same ballpark as many other bikes, from other segments such as sport nakeds, adventure tourers, and other cruisers. As much as the Shotgun's straight line speed and power figures, it's about the entire riding experience — throttle response, mid range punch and engine character. I know riders are curious how it stacks up to other similarly priced options from the likes of Kawasaki, Honda, or even other Royal Enfield models in real world performance. And there's also interest in how its unique bobber styling might affect its performance characteristics relative to more conventional designs in this price range.
