Hi team,

The reason for me writing this review is because my classic 500 was my dream bike and i always had a passion to own a bullet. I always knew that it was going to be a trouble of owning a bullet and the time it takes to be on road but still owning one has its own charm and whenever i ride my bike i only have a feeling that my money spent was perfect.

I had bought the bike second hand from a person who was interested in selling his bike as the showroom had a waiting period of 10 months when i had bought it.It was the same black colour i was looking for and was happy to have it.The bike had not covered and mileage hence i was the person who going to use her extensively.

Riding a bullet is like riding a tank in itself that is what i always feel you get a planted ride and thump of riding a bullet.For sure it has its own share of problems like bullets are prone to fish tailing a lot at high speeds they lack abs and quality of parts have degraded a lot in the recent years which increases the cost of ownership a lot and there have many experiences of the bike skidding due to low quality mrf tyres.I have resolved the issue by upgrading the tyres and this had helped a lot.

The look of the bike is typically old school and is the same for so many years and will be same in the coming year as well but the all metal never fails to impress me as you know you are riding a bike full of metal and not fiber.

Servicing of a bullet can be a cheap or a costly affair depends upon how much you know the bike and how you maintain the bike.These bikes got famous and are widely famous because they offer the owner to service there own bikes and the same is in my case too.I maintain and service the bike myself and go in details of each and every problem failed.This has helped me in creating a bond with my bike and also enjoy my rides.

Royal enfield fuel pump goes kaput often and the cost is 14000 i had resolved the problem by changing the motor of the fuel pump and i advise people worldwide for the same as i am the only person which has done it and the cost is 1000 rs only.

Fish tailing is due to fibre bush in the swing arm and this creates fish tailing i had resolved it by changing it to iron rod and it changed all the thing for the bike.

Same goes with tyres i had upgraded tyres to bigger diameter and better gripping tyres which resulted in good handling.

I do maintain most of the bike myself to keep all things in check.

Pros:

You get to ride a vintage bike

Metal instead of fibre give you a longer life

Basic engine has less moving parts

Sturdy stance and glory

Cons :

Maintenance cost can be high and quality issues pertain to all the parts.

Fishtailing effect add the risk of accident

Niggling issues increase with the age of bike

You cannot vouch for quality

Fuel pump and tank are very bad quality and need to be checked urgently.

Tips for Royal Enfield Classic 500

Maintain the bike by yourself and try to less rely on mechanics most of them just try to fool you and make money by doing very small things

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+rpm
Cons- Heavy weight and the colour is little Handle with care.

Made like a gun !! goes like a bullet

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 classic 350 model review after driving 50000 kms
2 years ago
Pallav Tyagi
- Previously rates were good but nowadays its too much expensive as compared to performance
- comfortable to ride on long route good grips on road
- good look compared to other cruise bike of this price range.
- service & maintenance is way too high as you have to pay service charge for each part individually which sometimes higher than the actual part cost
- must buy bike for cruise experience but if you are low on budget don't buy because maintenance is too high

Bullet mean bullet
2 years ago
Nagarajs
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.

Re classic 500 amazing versatility
3 years ago
Keshav
The thump of a royal Enfield and a 500cc engine is an experience to behold while discovering new roads and less traveled paths. Re classic 500 has a smooth riding experience, sleek looks and a value for money option for road trips. The servicing assistance is available almost in most remote places within India and the spare parts are easily available as well.

My mind calms down when i go on a ride on this bike

I purchased this limited edition beast online. Only 500 of them went on sale in feb 2020 and i'm one of the lucky ones to get it. This is my first royal enfield that made me interested in everything that the company makes.I owned a jawa classic, kawasaki eliminator 180, hero splendor and a hero honda street 100 and this was certainly the best when it entered my parking lot.I love the low-end torque, ability to pull off in 3rd or even 4th gear even at speeds as low as 25-30 kmph. (jawa can't do it). My mind calms down when i go on a ride on this bike.

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+rpm
Cons- Heavy weight and the colour is little Handle with care.

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 classic 350 model review after driving 50000 kms
2 years ago
Pallav Tyagi
- Previously rates were good but nowadays its too much expensive as compared to performance
- comfortable to ride on long route good grips on road
- good look compared to other cruise bike of this price range.
- service & maintenance is way too high as you have to pay service charge for each part individually which sometimes higher than the actual part cost
- must buy bike for cruise experience but if you are low on budget don't buy because maintenance is too high

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.

Re classic 500 amazing versatility
3 years ago
Keshav
The thump of a royal Enfield and a 500cc engine is an experience to behold while discovering new roads and less traveled paths. Re classic 500 has a smooth riding experience, sleek looks and a value for money option for road trips. The servicing assistance is available almost in most remote places within India and the spare parts are easily available as well.

Riding experience in this motorcycle is awesome you can hit 250 - 300 km stretch in this without stopping.. Top speed you can hit 120km/hr without any hassle.. Breaking is good in this motorcycle.. Mileage i got 30kmpl in bangalore city and highway you get 32-35 kmpl depend how you ride the motorcycle. Servicing and maintenance is cheap compare to other premium bikes in this segments..

My mind calms down when i go on a ride on this bike
3 years ago
Uss
I purchased this limited edition beast online. Only 500 of them went on sale in feb 2020 and i'm one of the lucky ones to get it. This is my first royal enfield that made me interested in everything that the company makes.I owned a jawa classic, kawasaki eliminator 180, hero splendor and a hero honda street 100 and this was certainly the best when it entered my parking lot.I love the low-end torque, ability to pull off in 3rd or even 4th gear even at speeds as low as 25-30 kmph. (jawa can't do it). My mind calms down when i go on a ride on this bike.
