Royal Enfield’s apparently working on a new bobber bike that could be their “most expensive bike yet” – and there’s potential it’s headed over here!
According to Divanshi Sharma from English Jagran, the Shotgun could show up in India as soon as November, with the machine being but one of the few that Royal Enfield has on the way. From the filing of a “Guerilla 450” to the recently-debuted Bullet 350 and a soon-to-be-debuted electric motorcycle Royal Enfield’s simply calling “E,” our favorite Bhārat bike brand has a long journey before they fulfill their original goal of pushing out 28 bikes in the next seven years – but hey, with so many motorcycles on the move, they’re certainly keeping up with their schedule.
We look away from RE’s docket to a filing made to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, as well as paperwork with the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI, NOT to be confused with our fantastic lid-obsessed mates across the pond). Based on the specs, Sharma tells us we’re likely to get an extension of the platform used for the Continental GT 650, Super Meteor 650, and Interceptor 650, with an apparent emphasis on the bike’s higher, shorter, and slimmer design (compared with the Super Meteor, that is).
Other features of the incubating Shotgun, according to the coverage, include the following:
- Twin exhausts
- Alloy wheels
- A dual-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS
- Wide handlebars
- An analog-digital instrument cluster with a Tripper navigation pod
- 85.4” bike length
- 32.2” bike width
- Potential for split saddle and single-seat options
