The Upcoming RE Shotgun 650 Bobber will launch alongside the Super meteor 650 and will be the priciest offering from the brand
Royal Enfield is testing not one but multiple variants of its 650cc cruiser. We have been covering the developments of the upcoming 650cc cruiser extensively for a while now (you can read about it here).
The upcoming Bobber variant spotted recently was covered in heavy camouflage and was carrying testing equipment. The Spied test mule is the same model that was showcased as a concept at the 2021 EICMA motorcycle show in Italy last year and will be called Shotgun.
Royal Enfield filed the trademark for the name Shotgun in April 2021. The Shotgun 650 Bobber will likely be the most expensive offering from the two-wheeler brand.
