Imagine trying to snag concert tickets to your favorite ban-only to watch them vanish in minutes. That’s exactly what happened with Royal Enfield’s Shotgun 650 Icon Limited Edition. With just 100 units available worldwide this bike sold out faster than a hot latte on a winter morning.
Why This Bike Is a Big Deal
Crafted in collaboration with ICON Motosports a U.S based custom motorcycle legend the Shotgun 650 Icon isn’t your average ride. Its design draws inspiration from ICON s showstopper build Always Something’which turned heads at major events like EICMA 2024 and Motoverse 2024. Think of it as a factory-made custom bike-no garage tinkering required.
Only 25 units were allocated to each region (India, Europe, APAC, and the Americas). When bookings opened on February 12, 2025, at 3 PM GMT? Poof-gone in seconds.

What Makes It Special?
Engine Power: A 648 cc parallel-twin engine pumping out 46.3 hp and 52.3 Nm torque, paired with a smooth six-speed gearbox.
Design Flair: A triple-tone paint job gold rims, blue shock springs and a bold red seat with an embroidered logo.
Price Tag: ₹4.25 lakh (ex-showroom India), roughly ₹65,000 more than the standard Shotgun 650.
But here’s the kicker: Each buyer also scores a Slabtown Intercept RE Jacket designed by ICON. Made with suede, textile, and leather accents, it’s the kind of gear that screams “exclusive club.”
Why Limited Editions Rule
Royal Enfield’s move isn’t just about selling bikes-it’s about storytelling. By teaming up with ICON they’re tapping into the global custom bike culture, blending craftsmanship with mass appeal. And with plans to expand their 350 cc 450 cc and 650 cc lines (plus an electric model in the works) this limited drop is just the start.
The Takeaway
Limited editions like the Shotgun 650 Icon aren’t just motorcycles; they’re rolling art. Missed out? Don’t sweat it. Royal Enfield’s next big thing might already be revving up.
