NEW DELHI: The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 costs Rs 4,01,002 to Rs 4,16,139 across the three standard variants listed on the company's India website. Custom Shed is the entry version, Custom Pro covers the middle pair of colours, and Custom Special sits at the top. The colour-price cards specify ex-showroom Chennai, rather than a Delhi quotation.
| Variant | Official colour | Ex-showroom Chennai price |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Shed | Sheet Metal Grey | Rs 4,01,002 |
| Custom Pro | Green Drill | Rs 4,12,947 |
| Custom Pro | Plasma Blue | Rs 4,12,947 |
| Custom Special | Stencil White | Rs 4,16,139 |
Price as of 27 October 2026, 23:27 IST. These are the standard range entries visible on the official page. Royal Enfield reverses the words in the green colour's name in different sections, using Drill Green on its price card and Green Drill in its variant FAQ. Both refer to the same listed Custom Pro colour.
What the variant names actually identify
The pricing structure is organised around finishes. Royal Enfield publishes a common engine description for the model rather than separate power ratings for Custom Shed, Custom Pro and Custom Special. A higher position in this table should therefore not be read as an engine upgrade.
That distinction matters more here than the elaborate variant names suggest. A rider drawn to the plain grey finish is not choosing a different engine family from someone who prefers Stencil White. The meaningful first choice is whether the Shotgun's layout suits the intended use; the paint decision follows that.
The custom influence has a practical consequence
Royal Enfield's original unveiling connected the Shotgun to the SG650 Concept and described a production motorcycle shaped by custom-bike design. That history helps explain the short-bodied appearance and emphasis on personalisation. The idea is visible in the standard motorcycle, rather than being confined to decorative accessories.
Most relevant to everyday use is the modular rear section. The company describes solo, passenger and luggage-carrying configurations. This makes the seating arrangement part of the ownership discussion: a bike shown in a stripped-back publicity photograph may not depict the arrangement an owner needs for a shared commute or a weekend bag.
For an Indian household where the motorcycle sometimes carries a passenger, that is a more useful question than whether the styling earns a particular category label. The practical check is what comes with the selected bike, how the intended configuration is assembled, and where luggage can be secured without occupying the passenger's space.
The mechanical specification in context
The published specification combines a 648 cc parallel twin with 47 PS at 7,250 rpm and 52.3 Nm at 5,650 rpm. The tank holds 13.8 litres. Royal Enfield lists a 795 mm seat and a 240 kg kerb weight with 90% fuel and oil, so seat accessibility and the effort of moving the bike are separate considerations.
A rider may feel comfortable reaching the ground yet still find reversing out of a sloping parking space demanding. That is why the low saddle should not be treated as a complete answer to suitability. Trying the motorcycle upright, moving it carefully at walking pace and checking handlebar reach reveal different things from merely sitting on it.
The layout includes mid-set footpegs and Showa suspension, with an 18-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear. These details distinguish the Shotgun's stance from an assumption that every low-looking motorcycle places the rider's feet far forward. A photograph alone cannot establish how the hip, knee and handlebar positions will fit a particular person.
Who it is for
The Shotgun is aimed at riders who want a factory-built motorcycle with a strong custom appearance and a rear layout that can serve different uses. Someone who enjoys the visual simplicity of a solo machine but occasionally needs passenger accommodation has a concrete reason to investigate its configuration options.
It also demands a realistic assessment of parking and manoeuvring. The relevant trade-off is not a claim that its styling makes it unsuitable for daily use; it is whether the owner is comfortable handling this particular motorcycle in the spaces they actually use.
