Royal Enfield unveils Shotgun 650 'Son of a Gun' limited edition with Deus Ex Machina

Royal Enfield has shown a limited-edition Shotgun 650, called 'Son of a Gun', at the EICMA 2026 motorcycle show in Milan. The bike is a joint project with custom motorcycle brand Deus Ex Machina. Only 100 units will be built globally, with production planned for 2027. The details come from the company's own announcement.

The edition starts from a one-off custom build. Its colour scheme is deep red with cream and gold accents, which sets it apart from the standard Shotgun 650. Royal Enfield and Deus scripts appear on the fuel tank, and the body panels carry detailed graphics. The wheels are contrast-cut alloys, and the engine covers are piano black. The seat is brown leather with embroidered Deus branding, and the handlebar grips are matching brown.

Each motorcycle will also come with a Royal Enfield x Deus souvenir jacket. It is made from stone-washed sateen fabric, with heritage-style typography and an inner lining that matches the bike's paint.

What is not changing

The bike keeps the 650 Twin engine used across the range. Based on the information released so far, the company has not published a separate technical sheet, so output and torque figures for this edition have not been confirmed as differing from the standard model. The changes announced so far are mainly to paint, graphics and finish. The basic design of the motorcycle is unchanged.

What is still unknown

Royal Enfield has not announced a price, booking process or how the 100 units will be split between markets. It has also not confirmed whether the limited edition will be sold in India. Readers interested in the bike will need to wait for those details.
