Royal Enfield enthusiasts witnessed a frenzy as the limited-edition Shotgun 650 Icon Edition sold out within seconds. With just 100 units available globally—and 25 allotted for India—the motorcycle was gone almost instantly after the sales window opened at 8:30 pm IST on February 12.
A Collector’s Dream: 100 Units Gone in a Flash
Priced at Rs 4.25 lakh (ex-showroom) in India, the Shotgun 650 Icon Edition was priced Rs 65,000 higher than the base Shotgun 650. Despite the premium, buyers didn’t hesitate, quickly snapping up all units. Indian buyers who missed out were met with a message stating,
“The Legacy of the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Icon Edition has come to an end. Thank you for participating in the sale.”
Designed in Collaboration with Icon Motorsports
