Royal Enfield, an Indian multinational motorcycle manufacturing brand, has launched the Shotgun 650 in Canada and the USA. The two-wheeler giant is widening its reach in international markets by unveiling new products. Recently, the company has also launched the Indian-spec Royal Enfield Bullet 350 in Japan. The bobber-styled factory-custom Shotgun 650 is placed below the Super Meteor 650 bike in the brand's motorcycle lineup, which is visible in its pricing as well.
In the US market, the Super Meteor 650 motorcycle comes at a price of $6,999, and in Canada, it is priced at CAD 9,599. In the Indian market, the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 comes at a price range between INR 3.59 lakh and INR 3.73 lakh (ex-showroom). The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 has been underpinned on the same platform as the Super Meteor 650. The motorcycle is powered by a 648-cc parallel-twin air/oil-cooled powertrain, which is fixed to a tubular spine frame. The unit can churn out peak power of 46.3 bhp at 7,250 rpm and maximum torque of 52.3 Nm at 5,650 rpm. The unit is paired with a 6-speed gearbox for transmission duty.
