Conceived as a revolutionary neo-retro roadster, the intent of the Shotgun 650 was to break free from historical constraints while preserving the brand's core DNA.

The Kawasaki Versys 650 has been part of the Japanese firm’s range since 2006, providing a dependable introduction to road-focussed adventure touring for riders of all experience levels and carrying salt-crusted commuters across years of dependable service. Early the next morning, the KLR now loaded with gear, I set off solo for Arizona. Route 60 rolls across the plain and into the Gila National Forest, where a massive thunderstorm provided an opportunity to test handling in the rain and the waterproofness of the hard saddlebags that come standard on the Adventure model. I was on the non-ABS version, which coped admirably, as did the side bags, which remained bone dry inside. Loaded up for the long ride home.

This latest model is no different, featuring the same steel diamond chassis and twin-pot motor as the previous incarnation, allowing for a claimed 66bhp and manageable Kawasaki Versys 650 seat height of 845mm.

About the inspiration and the design of the motorcycle, Mark Wells, Chief of Design at Royal Enfield, said, “ Designing the Shotgun 650 was an exhilarating journey into the future. After we had shown the SG650 Concept at EICMA in 2021, it gathered huge interest from international custom builders and consumers, so much so that we decided to build it as a production motorcycle. The motorcycle is built by the same team that designed the Concept and is therefore remarkably close to the concept. It retains the cast aluminium nascelle, chopped fenders, angular bodywork and that confident, aggressive stance. At the heart of this motorcycle is the simplicity of its form and the pure metal composition that is testament to its inspiration - custom culture. The Shotgun 650 offers a perfect canvas for experienced builders as well as for someone who is just starting on their journey of customization.” Exactly where the Versys fits in will have to be be decided in a later group test, but the Kawasaki shines in isolation as a no frills easy going tall roader.
