Why Royal Enfield created a limited edition

Royal Enfield doesn’t have a history of limited editions. Usually associated with updated versions of legacy motorcycles, Royal Enfield has broadened its lineup and vision. The Himalayan adventure bike and Scram 411 Crossover are recently introduced for contemporary riding styles. Royal Enfield is also developing the Flying Flea brand of electric motorcycles scheduled to debut in 2026.

Many motorcyclists customize and personalize their bikes. Recognizing this worldwide desire for self-expression, Royal Enfield chose the 648 cc parallel-twin engine Shotgun 650 as a platform to demonstrate customization. The Limited Edition Shotgun 650 is influenced by Icon’s Always Something custom-built motorcycle displayed at international motorcycle events in 2024.

The limited edition represents Royal Enfield’s history of classic motorcycles. It starts with a proven platform: the Shotgun 650. The moderately powerful 648cc parallel twin air-and-oil-cooled engine has a six-speed transmission. The engine has a 9.5:1 compression ratio and develops 46.4 horsepower and 38.6 ft-lbs of torque.

In addition to a front Big Piston Fork with 120mm travel, the Shogun 650’s rear suspension features Showa Twin shocks with 90mm travel. The bike also has twin-piston disc brakes at the front and rear, with dual-channel ABS.

Like supercars? Gordon Murray is teasing a new one on the way for Monterey Car Week
Machine, Wheel, Alloy Wheel

Monterey Car Week got underway this weekend, and there is a bevy of incredible events happening to make any car enthusiast salivate for ten days straight. Starting last Friday, visitors spent the weekend exploring the history of races, checking out a slew of historic race cars, and yesterday was the historic hillclimb many come to see pre-reunion. Today, racers get a chance to collect Poker cards and eat great meals on the route during the Poker Rally and also check out the British side of Monterey Car Week. However, we are looking forward today after Gordon Murray dropped a teaser of what we will get to see at The Quail later this week.

It is always a pleasure to return to California, and I am looking forward to sharing our latest Special Vehicles creation with everyone attending The Quail and enthusiasts around the world. We have been working on something very special – I can’t wait for the covers to come off. – Professor Gordon Murray CBE, Group Executive Chairman

Porsche just proved the Cayenne Electric is the most impressive performance vehicle you can drive
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

I have seen the movies. I know there is no way that a car can survive in the jet blast of a plane. I remember the scene from Casino Royale. And for me, that is science. But the engineers at Porsche and Stratolaunch aren’t so sure. They operate in the real world of science, and they came together to see if the Porsche Cayenne Electric could withstand the take-off power of one of the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world. Why? Because they can and because curiosity oftentimes leads to something awesome. Spoiler alert…the car holds up. But don’t take my word for it.

The car is its own beast. It’s got the ability to keep up and play in this space. – Orlando Bloom, Porsche ambassador

Indian commits to American artistry with Signature Series
Machine, Spoke, Helmet

There is something about sitting on the back of a motorcycle that you can’t feel anywhere else. Road trips feel different on the back of a bike versus in a car. Maybe it is the solo aspect of it. Maybe there is the feeling of the wind. Who knows? What I do know is that there is nothing like a bike ride through the countryside. The winding roads, the sunsets through the visor of the helmet, all of it is unrivaled. Indian Motorcycle understands this, and they have since they became the first American motorcycle company. Now, they have dropped a new Signature Series of four motorcycles echoing their commitment to American artistry and craftsmanship.

Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has pursued the ultimate intersection of form and function – motorcycles that are as beautiful in design as they are sophisticated in performance – Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle
