The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is a motorcycle from Royal Enfield. It is currently on sale. With a 648 cc engine it sits in the middleweight 450–800 cc class.
Power comes from a 648 cc twin-cylinder air- and oil-cooled engine that makes 46.39 bhp at 7,250 rpm and 52.3 Nm of torque at 5,650 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (78 mm x 67.8 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 196 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. The claimed top speed is 170 km/h. It has electric start.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 5-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. Its slipper clutch lightens the lever and stops the rear wheel hopping when you downshift hard.
It is built around a steel tubular spine frame. Suspension is by showa separate function big piston fork, USD, 120mm travel at the front and showa twin shock, 90mm travel at the rear. Braking is by a 320 mm disc at the front and a 300 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 18-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 100/90 - 18 at the front and 150/70 - R17 at the rear.
The seat is 795 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 240 kg ready to ride, which is heavy, so parking and tight U-turns need care. Ground clearance is 140 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 2,170 mm long, with 1,465 mm between the axles. Its 13.8 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 22 kmpl work out to roughly 304 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.
Equipment includes an LED headlamp, USB charging port, gear position indicator, service due indicator, centre stand, shift light, low fuel indicator and low oil indicator. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, side-stand engine cut-off, side-stand warning, hazard light switch and malfunction indicator.
The manufacturer's warranty is 40,000 km or 3 years. It comes with 4 free services, the first due at 500 km or 45 days. For the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹2,999 doorstep service.
