Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 based custom motorcycle unveiled

Thor Drake of See See Motorcycles has unveiled a new custom based on the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 at The One Motorcycle Show in the US. Called the Reload 650, the motorcycle follows last year’s Shotgun 650-based custom showcased by Winston Yeh’s Rough Crafts at the same event in a similar colour scheme. However, this latest build takes a much more radical approach.

  2. Rear section and solo-seat setup are reminiscent of 1980s bikes

Royal Enfield Reload 650

Based on the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650

The Reload 650 draws inspiration from 1980s AMA racing motorcycles, a fitting direction considering that Drake himself was the 1998 AMA 250GP road-racing national champion. In line with that theme, the motorcycle gets a period-correct rear section with a boxy tail unit and solo-seat setup reminiscent of superbikes from that era.

The custom also features upgraded suspension, five-spoke Morris wheels and a 2-into-1 S&S race exhaust. The front end gets bar risers and a wide handlebar, giving the bike a more upright riding posture despite its race-inspired styling.

While the colour scheme bears some resemblance to the Shotgun-based custom unveiled by Rough Crafts last year, the Reload 650 stands apart with its more focused racing-inspired design and extensive visual changes.

390 Duke or Interceptor 650: Best bike for casual riding under Rs 4 lakh?

-
Image
Looking for advice on which new bike to purchase. Few things to note - Budget is INR 3-4 Lakhs. It will not be my primary mode of transport as I mostly use my car. The bike will be used 60-70 percent for Sunday morning rides, 10-20 percent touring and 10-20 percent maybe the odd office commute or coffee run. Prefer comfortable upright ergonomics. Do let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks in advance for your help! Rahul Khurana, New Delhi Autocar India says: You haven’t mentioned whether the bike you are looking for is meant to be sporty and exciting or calm and relaxed in nature, so we’ll share a few options at both ends of that spectrum. Since this is going to be a casual use motorcycle we’ll keep things like fuel efficiency as a low priority but all options mentioned here will have upright ergonomics. At the sporty end, there’s no beating the new Gen 3 KTM 390 Duke which offers the strongest performance available at this price as well as outstanding handl...
