I am riding this beast for the last 12 years on the streets of pune for my daily commute to the office, practically doing anything whenever I go out. Strong built, reliable, good torque helps you cut the city traffic. City mileage ~ 28kmpl. Servicing costs ~ 3500 to 4000 /-. One issue: frequent clutch cable breaks.

Royal Enfield 500cc Desert Strome

Advocate Khalid
Bought Desert Strom 500cc in 2014, Not planned, not even thought of buying it. But this is one of the finest bike I had, I have changed around 30+ bikes by now but this is still the champ.Looks and Performance are Ultra pro max. You feel complete when riding it.Luxury comes with price, So maintenance is little costly for poor people like those who are reading this review.Pros - No vibration even 90+rpmCons- Heavy weight and the colour is little Handle with care.

Bullet mean bullet

Best power bike in this category, feel great while riding. Bullet is bullet no match. I love 500cc than 350cc and low maintenance if you keep your bike clean with soft touch. While parking long time put it on center stand, carry tools, clutch wire , spark plugs, check oil level once in a week and clean chain and lubricate regularly.
