Customers unable to purchase the bike saw 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.”
Developed in collaboration with US-based Icon Motorsports, the model is based on the ‘Always Something’ custom motorcycle, displayed at EICMA 2024 and Motoverse 2024. While the overall structure remains the same as the standard Shotgun 650, this edition features a three-tone paint scheme inspired by racing aesthetics.
The front cowl is finished in light blue and white, while the fuel tank combines light blue, red, and white. The side panels display the number ‘24,’ and the rear fender incorporates red and white along with the Icon logo. The design also includes gold contrast-cut wheels, a red seat, blue rear springs, and bar-end mirrors.

The suspension system includes an upside-down Showa Separate Function Big Piston Fork at the front with 120 mm travel and Showa twin shocks at the rear offering 90 mm travel.
