Admin Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Royal Enfield’s 2024 Shotgun 650 is now available in North America, with a base price of $6,899 US. (Royal Enfield/) After months of silence, Royal Enfield has announced that its 2024 Shotgun 650 is at last available in the US. The brand simultaneously released pricing for the new “custom-inspired” 650 model, and it’s better than we thought. The Shotgun 650, introduced back in December at a global launch in LA, will retail starting at $6,899 (9,199 Canadian dollars) for the base model in Sheet Metal Grey. At the launch, we speculated that the Shotgun’s pricing would be near or above the related and already-available Super Meteor cruiser, which goes for $6,999 in base trim, so we’re pleasantly surprised it’s less. That’s well below competitors like the Kawasaki Vulcan S ($7,349), and only a little more than the smaller Honda Rebel 500 ($6,499). The Shotgun 650 comes in four colors: Stencil White, Plasma Blue, Drill Green, and Sheet Metal Grey, available in all markets. As with the Super Meteor, pricing varies with the color option selected. The Shotgun 650 in this Stencil White scheme retails for $7,099. (Royal Enfield/) That bit of good news was followed up by welcome updates to Enfield’s Continental GT 650 and INT 650, which now has six new colors as well as LED headlights, improved tires, and a more comfortable seat with new foam-mesh material. Both bikes also receive aluminum switch cubes, handlebar grips, and adjustable brake and clutch levers similar to the ones that first appeared on the Super Meteor and Shotgun bikes. The 2024 Continental GT 650 will start at $6,349 (C$8,499), and the INT 650 will retail at $6,149 (C$8,199). Both are available now. 2024 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 and INT 650 models also get minor updates this year, and include four brand-new blacked-out variants. This GT 650 with spoked wheels and chrome finishes has a starting MSRP of $6,349. (Royal Enfield/) With this latest development, it looks like Enfield is continuing its steady, focused march into the North American market. In January, the brand had announced that it would be introducing the 2024 Bullet 350 to the Canadian market, albeit in a very limited run of just 100 units. The 2024 INT 650 model gets six new colors for 2024, including this new Black Ray option which has a blacked-out engine and exhaust. Price is $6,849, and it is available now. (Royal Enfield/) Although that’s an extremely low volume, the Bullet 350 brings a certain cachet, being the only motorcycle in continuous production for over 92 years and a cornerstone of Royal Enfield’s 123-year history as one of the company’s most popular bikes. The 2024 Bullet is powered by the same 349cc fuel-injected air/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine found in the newest versions of Royal Enfield’s Meteor, Classic, and Hunter models. The 2024 Bullet 350 in Standard Black, retails for $4,499. (Royal Enfield/) The Canadian market gets two variants: the Bullet Standard in Standard Black or Standard Maroon, finished with hand-pinstriped tanks embellished with chrome and gold badges. Retail is C$5,899. The second variant, the Bullet Black Gold, gets copper pinstriping and blacked-out engine and components, and has an MSRP of C$6,199.
