All six UK-allocated units of the exclusive Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 ICON Edition have now been delivered to their new owners, marking the end of one of the most anticipated limited-run releases of the year.

Created in collaboration with ICON Motosports, the Shotgun 650 ICON Edition is part of a global 1-of-100 production: six bikes for the UK, 26 for Europe, 26 for India, 17 for the Americas, and 25 for the Asia-Pacific region. The final UK handovers took place at Drayton Croft Motorcycles in Hinckley and Sycamore Motorcycles in Peterborough.

The project was inspired by ICON’s “Always Something” custom build, first shown at EICMA 2024 and later ridden at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The limited-edition model features the distinctive ICON One Thousand colourway with gold-rim detailing, bar-end mirrors, blue shock springs, and a red seat—designed to capture ICON’s bold aesthetic and Royal Enfield’s custom heritage.

Each of the 100 owners worldwide also received a made-to-order ICON Edition jacket to match their machine.

Adrian Sellers, Head of Custom & Motorsport at Royal Enfield, said:
“It’s exciting to see these unique motorcycles finally arrive with their lucky owners. Working with ICON Motosport allowed us to show off the potential of the Shotgun 650 and Royal Enfield’s commitment to distinctive, rider-focused machines.”

Powered by Royal Enfield’s proven 648 cc air-oil-cooled parallel-twin engine, the Shotgun 650 ICON Edition combines strong mid-range torque with agile handling, Showa suspension, 320 mm/300 mm disc brakes, and a low 795 mm seat height. It embodies the brand’s “Inspired by Custom. For Custom.” philosophy—a modern motorcycle built for riders who value creativity, performance, and individuality.
