Royal Enfield’s 648cc parallel-twin has easily become one of the most characterful engines in the brand’s lineup, and the Shotgun 650 feels like RE’s coolest experimental project built around it.
From that deep twin-cylinder rumble at idle to the smooth pull across the rev range, this engine gives the Shotgun a personality of its own.
But interestingly, motorcycles like the Super Meteor 650 and the new Classic 650 seem to have found even more purpose and meaning while sharing the same platform.
