The custom Shotgun 650 reminds us of iconic designs from films such as Akira and Ready Player One. It boasts a neo-retro aesthetic and distinctive features. A square-shaped LED headlamp encircled by a thick ring-shaped LED DRL defines the front, while body fairings covering the forks display the Royal Enfield name. The minimalistic design extends to the tail light, a single long unit protruding outside the frame. Noteworthy details include the number 47 on the body fairing below the tank and 'RE_1901' on the tank, signifying Royal Enfield's founding year, 1901.
