#shotgun650

I didn’t get much of a chance to experience all that the standard Harley Street Glide had to offer at the launch of it back in February because Mother Nature decided to rear its ugly head and cut our ride short. Other than feeling very comfortable with the ergonomics and satisfied with the torque from the Milwaukee-Eight 117ci V-Twin, I left the event feeling a bit unsatisfied.

Taking a giant leap into creating a motorcycle platform with customization in mind, the Shotgun 650 is, at its heart, the quintessential mid-sized cruiser, wrapped in sleek and simple bobber style cladding, and adorned with the latest technology upgrades.

In the past six years since Royal Enfield launched its first 650cc twin-cylinder bikes of the modern era in the 2018 model year, the well-developed, well-built and well-priced Interceptor and Continental GT have catapulted the Indian manufacturer into a leading role in the global middleweight motorcycle market.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has certified a new Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 model for 2024, confirming the production version of the SG650 bobber concept is coming to America.
