Royal Enfield Always Something (Based on the SHOTGUN 650) / Produced by ICON MOTORSPORTS
The form and riding position are reminiscent of endurance racers from the 1980s, evoking a sense of nostalgia. The gas tank is a long type, and the single seat is positioned at the rear.
The main frame and swingarm have been stretched to lengthen the wheelbase, and two Nitron rear shocks with reserve tanks are installed.

The two exhaust pipes extending from the twin engine are combined and exhausted at the rear with a silencer built into the tail cowling.
The front and rear wheels have been reduced in diameter to 16 inches (the standard is 18 inches in the front and 17 inches in the rear). Another feature is that they are the nostalgic Comstar type, which was also used on the famous Honda CB750F.
The base vehicle is the Royal Enfield SHOTGUN 650

Based on the SHOTGUN 650, it is a well-balanced combination of the builder’s sense and technique.
Named “Always Something!”, this vehicle is based on the Royal Enfield SHOTGUN 650 and is a sporty custom endurance racer style that perfectly combines the builder’s sense and technique.
The helmets were made by ICON MOTORSPORTS, an American helmet and motorcycle gear brand. The brand has released many items with cutting-edge designs based on a street theme, earning them high safety and popularity. To further expand the worldview of its items, it has produced a number of custom bikes under the brand name “ICON ONE THOUSAND.”
The “Always Something” exhibited this time also served as a strong inspiration for the limited production version of the SHOTGUN 650, of which only 100 units will be sold worldwide.
