I'm going to buy this cheap yet so brilliant equipped and so good looking classic bike and i'm dying to ride on this one. The looks are so damn cool and hot at the same time and with an mileage of 32 km/l, it has definitely made up my mind to buy this beauty. The servicing and maintenance is very less and it catches up really quickly with the wind and i can feel my heart beating and hair juggling up in the hair. Thanks, i will live my life fullest with it.

Tips for Royal Enfield Classic Desert Storm

Maintenance after atleast 10000 km and servicing is very less.

    Royal Enfield's King of Road feels like you are the king of the road with great pickup and handling
    Even if you just rock on having this machine I have already driven a classic 350 for many years but this machine just feels you. You can't wait to drive this.
    Great mileage according to engine cc and the pickup is so good you just accelerate and you will feel the power with control.

  • Buy 3 normal bikes instead of 1 bike

    43 weeks ago


    Arun R

    I bought the bike in April 2015 and I felt the engine overheating instantaneously. Despite complaining, no proper response from residents. Within 2 years, my engine got seized and the reason said to me was due to an oil pump failure. So I got it repaired from the showroom. But again very soon the same problem happened. They are least bothered about customer satisfaction.

  • Smart boy

    I have purchased in 2019 Jan from Teknik motors Indiranagar Bangalore. Within a week I received royal Enfield classic desert storm 350. Weekend i used to travel from Bangalore to Palakkad very good for city/ off road/ highways. Every very 2000 km ( currently 75,000 km crossed).You must check/recheck the condition of your smart boy. Well-known local service station. Not in showroom or show room reference service center. Advantage you can trust and more keep up the boy in good dressing ( regular service and maintenance)
    Disadvantages n/a I couldn't find any. Minor like chain lubricant on every 200 km.

    Kunal Sharma

    1. Minimum vibration as compared to 350 or standard 500 because of fuel injector, comfortable riding.
    2. Awesome for highways as well as city.
    3. On demand torque at any speed till 100.
    4. Mileage 35+ within city if maintained properly.
    5. Mileage highway 40+ if kept below 100.
    6. Only issue is with fuel pump as it's delicate and costly item.

  • Royal Enfield Classic Desert Storm Review

    3 years ago


    Vinay

    First of all it’s royal. Even now when I ride it’s an attention grabber. Riding experience is great. Doesn’t need much of maintenance efforts only regular servicing. The most important thing I love about this bike is even at 110 km/l there is no vibration. It’s love of my life. This is my third royal Enfield bike I have been riding royal Enfield since 1992 until date I can’t even think of riding any other bike. I tried other bikes but royal Enfield is royal Enfield. Now I am 46 but can’t resist royal Enfield. The moment I saw desert storm
    I immediately bought it and I intend to keep it till last. There is something that makes you different from other bikes in the same category it really carries the legacy which can’t be challenged.

  • Never go for royal enfield

    3 years ago


    Rajesh

    Guys! here is a genuine review who want to buy classic 500 desert storm. I bought this bike on aug 2017 as usual with high hopes. Since than everyday i am thinking how will i get my money back. 1st prob- withing 6 months my fuel pump got leaked, and that's not reparable for your information. It costs rs 8000/-. Showroom people said you have to replace. I replaced. After 6 months again at same point it got leaked i complained to service engineer. They kept my bike for 1.5 months at showroom and then they replaced. Again within 6 months a hose connected to engine and temperature sensor got busted 3 times within a month . Again after complaining they replaced the hose in 1.5 months. Now its near about 3 years, warranty got over in 2 years and my original silencer got hole. The bike had run only 10515 km, only 2 long trips. If they would given any option to upload picture. I would have uploaded, guys don't go on looks. If you are investing so much money in a bike take wise decision.

  • Real torque machine with decent top performance

    4 years ago


    Krishna Kumar

    I am owing this bike from 2014 and ridden approx 21000 km plus no any critical issues , Perfect bike for them who consider it as machine not as bike. just proper oil change , monthly health check like tightening of each bolt , a bit of issue with gear . Otherwise all is good and as expected . Even a mileage of 31 km plus on highway at 80-90kmph. Pretty satisfied.

  • The machine you will love

    4 years ago


    Arunabha Ray

    Dear bulleteers, I am riding this bike for about 3 years. Frankly speaking its really royal to ride this bike. The mileage pinches a little, but I can tolerate considering the feeling. The only thing I hate is braking. otherwise this is a head-turner and eye-catcher. I love my dear bike. I love its initial acceleration, and the roaring engine. But RE should have been more careful about the build quality. It needs a lot of care, this is not for rough use. you need to take it as a family member otherwise it will lost its glamour too early. But besides all disadvantages, as a user of this bike I feel sick to part with it.

  • Desert storm review

    2 years ago


    Kunal Sharma

    1. Minimum vibration as compared to 350 or standard 500 because of fuel injector, comfortable riding.
    2. Awesome for highways as well as city.
    3. On demand torque at any speed till 100.
    4. Mileage 35+ within city if maintained properly.
    5. Mileage highway 40+ if kept below 100.
    6. Only issue is with fuel pump as it's delicate and costly item.

  • Royal Enfield Classic Desert Storm Review

    3 years ago


    Vinay

    First of all it’s royal. Even now when I ride it’s an attention grabber. Riding experience is great. Doesn’t need much of maintenance efforts only regular servicing. The most important thing I love about this bike is even at 110 km/l there is no vibration. It’s love of my life. This is my third royal Enfield bike I have been riding royal Enfield since 1992 until date I can’t even think of riding any other bike. I tried other bikes but royal Enfield is royal Enfield. Now I am 46 but can’t resist royal Enfield. The moment I saw desert storm
    I immediately bought it and I intend to keep it till last. There is something that makes you different from other bikes in the same category it really carries the legacy which can’t be challenged.

  • Never go for royal enfield

    3 years ago


    Rajesh

    Guys! here is a genuine review who want to buy classic 500 desert storm. I bought this bike on aug 2017 as usual with high hopes. Since than everyday i am thinking how will i get my money back. 1st prob- withing 6 months my fuel pump got leaked, and that's not reparable for your information. It costs rs 8000/-. Showroom people said you have to replace. I replaced. After 6 months again at same point it got leaked i complained to service engineer. They kept my bike for 1.5 months at showroom and then they replaced. Again within 6 months a hose connected to engine and temperature sensor got busted 3 times within a month . Again after complaining they replaced the hose in 1.5 months. Now its near about 3 years, warranty got over in 2 years and my original silencer got hole. The bike had run only 10515 km, only 2 long trips. If they would given any option to upload picture. I would have uploaded, guys don't go on looks. If you are investing so much money in a bike take wise decision.

  • Real torque machine with decent top performance

    4 years ago


    Krishna Kumar

    I am owing this bike from 2014 and ridden approx 21000 km plus no any critical issues , Perfect bike for them who consider it as machine not as bike. just proper oil change , monthly health check like tightening of each bolt , a bit of issue with gear . Otherwise all is good and as expected . Even a mileage of 31 km plus on highway at 80-90kmph. Pretty satisfied.

  • The machine you will love

    4 years ago


    Arunabha Ray

    Dear bulleteers, I am riding this bike for about 3 years. Frankly speaking its really royal to ride this bike. The mileage pinches a little, but I can tolerate considering the feeling. The only thing I hate is braking. otherwise this is a head-turner and eye-catcher. I love my dear bike. I love its initial acceleration, and the roaring engine. But RE should have been more careful about the build quality. It needs a lot of care, this is not for rough use. you need to take it as a family member otherwise it will lost its glamour too early. But besides all disadvantages, as a user of this bike I feel sick to part with it.

    Ghanshyamsinh Dabhi

    Royal Enfield's King of Road feels like you are the king of the road with great pickup and handling
    Even if you just rock on having this machine I have already driven a classic 350 for many years but this machine just feels you. You can't wait to drive this.
    Great mileage according to engine cc and the pickup is so good you just accelerate and you will feel the power with control.

  • Buy 3 normal bikes instead of 1 bike

    43 weeks ago


    Arun R

    I bought the bike in April 2015 and I felt the engine overheating instantaneously. Despite complaining, no proper response from residents. Within 2 years, my engine got seized and the reason said to me was due to an oil pump failure. So I got it repaired from the showroom. But again very soon the same problem happened. They are least bothered about customer satisfaction.

  • Smart boy

    2 years ago


    Duke V

    I have purchased in 2019 Jan from Teknik motors Indiranagar Bangalore. Within a week I received royal Enfield classic desert storm 350. Weekend i used to travel from Bangalore to Palakkad very good for city/ off road/ highways. Every very 2000 km ( currently 75,000 km crossed).You must check/recheck the condition of your smart boy. Well-known local service station. Not in showroom or show room reference service center. Advantage you can trust and more keep up the boy in good dressing ( regular service and maintenance)
    Disadvantages n/a I couldn't find any. Minor like chain lubricant on every 200 km.
