To stick to the bobber styling, the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is a single seater motorcycle. It is different to other models in RE's range by this design choice and helps give it that unique look. But it also brings up the question of whether the bike is practical for those who occasionally need to haul a passenger or need extra storage. An accessory pillion seat available from Royal Enfield can be converted into a luggage rack but at an additional cost and alteration to the stock setup. Not only does the single seat design affect passenger carrying capability, but it also influences what luggage can be taken for longer trips. Riders are weighing the cool factor of the solo seat against the practical limitations, wondering if the optional pillion seat ruins the bike's bobber look.
