Royal Enfield Shotgun 650: Design

The Shotgun 650 gets a custom-inspired retro roadster design with a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, round LED headlight and a single-piece seat. The engine and the frame are blacked out and so is the handlebar with bar-end mirrors. But do keep in mind that this is the one-off Motoverse edition of the motorcycle, and the regular production motorcycle may differ in terms of fitments, colours and features. Royal Enfield says that the model is a nod to the SG650 Concept that was showcased about a year ago.
