The Classic 500 motorcycle is a part of Royal Enfield’s Retro Street series. The bike sports retro styling that distinguishes itself from the rest of the motorcycles on the road today. The Classic range is the highest selling motorcycle in Royal Enfield’s range. Don’t be surprised if a dealer asks you to wait for six months before you get your bike.
The Classic 500 is powered by a 499cc single-cylinder Twinspark engine that produces 27.2bhp at 5250rpm and a maximum torque of 41.3Nm at 4000rpm. This engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox that transfers power to the rear wheel via a chain drive. It gets Keihin electronic fuel injection, helping the motorcycle deliver linear power and torque. It gets both an electric as well as a kickstart. A rear disc brake and ABS have recently been introduced to the range.
Royal Enfield sells the Classic 500 in three colours –tan, black and silver. It is priced at Rs 1.85 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)
The average of the Classic 500 is 33 kmpl, as per the owners of the bike.

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.

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
1 year 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
