Royal Enfield has released the 'Shotgun 650 x Rough Crafts Drop,' a 100-unit limited run based on a custom by Taiwan builder Winston Yeh of Rough Crafts. The 648cc parallel-twin is untouched, with gloss/matte black paint split by a hand-laid gold stripe, gold-anodized upside-down forks, and a leather solo saddle. Each buyer receives Yeh's signed artwork.

Winston Yeh's work just made it onto a factory production line — that's huge. I've walked the Rough Crafts floor in Taipei more than once, and that low, planted stance isn't something you get from a spec sheet. Only 100 units, each with his signed artwork — that's treating a builder like an artist. I want to see more of this.

Rough Crafts' build sense is still great, doesn't feel like a Taiwan shop at all.

For the same money a Harley custom shop build has more buzz honestly.

If the 648cc is unchanged, performance is basically the same as the regular Shotgun.

Engine's untouched, price just jumps because of gold paint. Classic.

For real, but 'only 100 units' almost makes me loosen the wallet. Gotta resist.

Gold lines with gold anodized forks, so sharp. I want one.
