Dimensions in practice
The Shotgun 650 weighs 240 kg with fluids, has an 795 mm seat, 140 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1465 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.
The fuel tank holds 13.8 litres, good for about 297 km between fills in real-world riding.
Tyres are 100/90-18 front and 150/70-R17 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
USD front forks
Stiffer than conventional forks, so the front feels planted under hard braking.
Slipper clutch
Stops the rear wheel hopping on aggressive downshifts. Also makes the lever lighter.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Turn-by-turn navigation
Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.

Shotgun 650 specs: questions people ask
- What is the engine capacity and power of the Shotgun 650?
- It uses a 648cc engine producing 46.39 bhp and 52.3 Nm, with a 6 speed.
- Is the Shotgun 650 suitable for short riders?
- Mostly. Seat height is 795 mm, which suits riders from about 5'5". Shorter riders should sit on one at the showroom.
- Is the Shotgun 650 worth the premium over the Interceptor on the same engine?
- You are paying for the USD Showa suspension, TFT navigation console, and distinctive custom bodywork rather than more performance, since the engine output is essentially the same as the Interceptor. Buyers who value the styling and equipment will find it worthwhile; those focused purely on value should compare the two directly.
- Does the Shotgun 650 have ABS?
- Yes, dual-channel ABS on at least one variant; check the variant table, as lower trims may get single-channel.
- What features does the Shotgun 650 have?
- 17 items across 5 groups, including dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres and alloy wheels. Some are variant-specific.
