Black beauty
5 years ago
Kushagra
First i was a little skeptical buying this bike but when i heard that sound and the felt the torque that this bike has made me feel butterflies in the stomach. It has been 6 months since i bought this black stallion still and i still feel those butterflies before ridding this beauty . This bike is definitely a head turner! when i ride this motorcycle on the road the heads of the people remains turned as they see this black beauty fly by . In terms of handling yeah sometimes it does sits on a heavier side and yeah this bike is really very heavy but when you are on the go suddenly all the weight of this bike just disappears. Every thing comes with some pros and cons and nothing is perfect right? mm.. This bike doesn't really have much . Yeah there are some issues with the bike like the paint. The paint job on this bike is thin and..... Yeah no one would really bother about average after owning this bike cause of being a 500 cc engine it drinks alot! the biggest problem with this bike is that it does not comes with abs as standard which i feel that royal enfield should have fitted this because when i push the brakes hard the rear tyre always locks which is a major con with this bike but overall this bike is a true real men's bike and first time in my life am so satisfied with my purchase.

Stealth black aesthetic maintenance
6 years ago
Pushpender Singh
Bikes of this particular brand needs a lot of care and maintenance. Now considering the stealth black colour, please note that it’s a matte finish colour, hence the aesthetic maintenance of the same would be a little difficult. This type of matte finished metal attracts more dust, hence you will need to clean the bike quite frequently. And also maintaining the matte finish is very difficult as compared to other gloss finish colours. The worst part is that you cannot just use any product to polish the metal parts of the bike, the reason being, the polishing products required for a glossy paint and a matte finish paint is not at all similar. You need to find the proper product so that the colour is maintained properly by regular intervals of matte polishing. I think this is the only aspect from the maintenance perspective considering any matte finish bike from royal enfield, which is mention-worthy. The rest of the maintenance aspects are pretty same for all the re bikes irrespective of colour or model. And trust me you won’t find much difference between the bs3 and bs4 model bikes except for a little bit of engine smoothness. The battery is good enough in the bs4 models to handle the aho feature. Just remember to cold start the engine every morning. That’s it. And yes if you are going to buy the stealth black re with rear disc brake, it will be a little bit of headache for the mechanic to fix a puncture as the rear disc assembly is very hard. The pros: known for classy old charm and powerful performance, very immediate and precise throttle experience, smooth riding. The cons: the absence of a fuel gauge and misleading reserve light does confuse the rider, downshifting is quite hard and lots of vibrations.

Royal enfield stealth black 500cc is the best bike.. pros::-stunning look & eye catcher ..efficient braking with bybre front &rear disc..nice handling.. excellent pickup..good mileage.. Equipped with safety features like Side stand sensor which automatically kill the engine if kept on side stand & also you can't put on a gear.. Oxygen sensor which controls engine emissions, adjusts air-fuel ratio & gives optimum mileage..Keihin efi is tested to work above 18,000feet on himalayas & used in honda,triumph, suzuki, kawasaki, ktm, royal enfield and harley-davidson motorcycles..Efi has better throttle & mileage compared to carburettor & works even in cold climates..The bike engine turns off at 40 degrees curve & prevent damage to person & bike during accident..Ride quality is awesome..You will easily cross any vehicle & touch 60 kmph in 3 seconds..You will be the king of road..Engine is smooth..No vibrations at all..It will be long lasting if you maintain it ..It is immortal beast..You won't get tired in long journeys..You will enjoy the ride..Royal enfield since 1901 and it is still in market.. Longest living motorcycle brand in world history..Cons::-1)you should maintain matte colour..It attracts more dust..Clean bike regularly..2)park it in shed or shade..3)put bike cover if possible..4)don't use chemicals, detergents,shampoos,diesel,direct water servicing..Etc..Use clean water & cloth..5)downshifting gear is bit difficult & vibration problem..You will get used to it & shift gears properly..

Styling is excellent but engine has major issues
6 years ago
Prashanth Reddy
Let me start with so much hyped colour stealth black (sb) my buying experience at neerdmet organe motors was so pathetic i had to follow up with them multiple times and they never had an eta. Finally on jan 18, 2018 i got my hands on this bike. Riding comfort is excellent and looks are great i mean colour is awesome admired by everyone. After riding 500kms i am planning to return this bike and get a gunmetal grey reason being engine gets so warm that even pillion rider is feeling the heat. Regular commuters please avoid this bike and for classic 350. As-usual mechanic said after first everything will perfect and engines gets cool down but after riding just 4 kms i could smell the heat. God engine is spitting so much heat i had to stop and go back to the service station again as-usual they said after 1k kms engine would be all fine. Now i am planning to exchange this bike for a gunmetal grey 350cc. This can be used only on freeways.

Beast that gives you heat
5 years ago
Gaurav
My personal experience about this beast stealth black is not good. It's engine heats too much. Even the service center guys could not make it . They told me that this is normal, but i surely want to tell you this is abnormal heating .This is the only problem i had faced till now. Otherwise the looks are just killing. Pickup is amazing and mileage is 28 kmpl . Comfort is good while riding. Breaking has got abs which makes it much better to ride. Last thing i want to tell you that please wear a good quality helmet and drive safely.

Don't ever use any polishing material for cleaning. Just use water it's easy to maintain matte finish with water only. Otherwise it will give you shine in just two to three time polishing.

Very unprofessional servicing person
4 years ago
Mohammad Afroz Bari
I was purchased this bike last year october, from all aspects it’s a good bike to have. Only reason to give 1 star is the servicing of this bike. Whenever i took my bike for servicing it more than 3 - 4 hours ( even the servicing is pre-booked). This time when i was gone for servicing, my riding seat cover was totally came out from it’s position and it looks really ugly. When i informed this to the servicing manager, he just simply told me this doesn’t comes under warranty and he doesn’t took any action to repair this.

Maintenance is one of the most important one, royal enfield gives the best maintenance facilities, the new brakes are perfect.

Styling is excellent but engine has major issues
6 years ago
Prashanth Reddy
Let me start with so much hyped colour stealth black (sb) my buying experience at neerdmet organe motors was so pathetic i had to follow up with them multiple times and they never had an eta. Finally on jan 18, 2018 i got my hands on this bike. Riding comfort is excellent and looks are great i mean colour is awesome admired by everyone. After riding 500kms i am planning to return this bike and get a gunmetal grey reason being engine gets so warm that even pillion rider is feeling the heat. Regular commuters please avoid this bike and for classic 350. As-usual mechanic said after first everything will perfect and engines gets cool down but after riding just 4 kms i could smell the heat. God engine is spitting so much heat i had to stop and go back to the service station again as-usual they said after 1k kms engine would be all fine. Now i am planning to exchange this bike for a gunmetal grey 350cc. This can be used only on freeways.

Beast that gives you heat
5 years ago
Gaurav
My personal experience about this beast stealth black is not good. It's engine heats too much. Even the service center guys could not make it . They told me that this is normal, but i surely want to tell you this is abnormal heating .This is the only problem i had faced till now. Otherwise the looks are just killing. Pickup is amazing and mileage is 28 kmpl . Comfort is good while riding. Breaking has got abs which makes it much better to ride. Last thing i want to tell you that please wear a good quality helmet and drive safely.

Don't ever use any polishing material for cleaning. Just use water it's easy to maintain matte finish with water only. Otherwise it will give you shine in just two to three time polishing.

Very unprofessional servicing person
4 years ago
Mohammad Afroz Bari
I was purchased this bike last year october, from all aspects it’s a good bike to have. Only reason to give 1 star is the servicing of this bike. Whenever i took my bike for servicing it more than 3 - 4 hours ( even the servicing is pre-booked). This time when i was gone for servicing, my riding seat cover was totally came out from it’s position and it looks really ugly. When i informed this to the servicing manager, he just simply told me this doesn’t comes under warranty and he doesn’t took any action to repair this.

Black beauty
5 years ago
Kushagra
First i was a little skeptical buying this bike but when i heard that sound and the felt the torque that this bike has made me feel butterflies in the stomach. It has been 6 months since i bought this black stallion still and i still feel those butterflies before ridding this beauty . This bike is definitely a head turner! when i ride this motorcycle on the road the heads of the people remains turned as they see this black beauty fly by . In terms of handling yeah sometimes it does sits on a heavier side and yeah this bike is really very heavy but when you are on the go suddenly all the weight of this bike just disappears. Every thing comes with some pros and cons and nothing is perfect right? mm.. This bike doesn't really have much . Yeah there are some issues with the bike like the paint. The paint job on this bike is thin and..... Yeah no one would really bother about average after owning this bike cause of being a 500 cc engine it drinks alot! the biggest problem with this bike is that it does not comes with abs as standard which i feel that royal enfield should have fitted this because when i push the brakes hard the rear tyre always locks which is a major con with this bike but overall this bike is a true real men's bike and first time in my life am so satisfied with my purchase.

Tips for other riders
the tips for maintaining the bike are listed below : - 1. always attend regular services and always clean the bike once a week 2. always consult the sales consultant that how to maintain the matte finish bike because for some one the matte finish turns to a shiny black colour so please consult the sales men 3. maintenance Is the first and the for most one 4. my suggestion is not to change the original exhaust ( it depends on your choice I'm not comparing any one ) 5. take care of the vehicle from rust and dust bcoz it may damage the look of the bike 6. my suggestion is to maintain the bike as it's original look itself it my attract others to look into your vehicle 7. don't always drive the vehicle in reserve mode bcoz it may cause the vehicle to give you low mileage so if it gets over immediately find a fuel station and refill it.

Stealth black aesthetic maintenance
6 years ago
Pushpender Singh
Bikes of this particular brand needs a lot of care and maintenance. Now considering the stealth black colour, please note that it’s a matte finish colour, hence the aesthetic maintenance of the same would be a little difficult. This type of matte finished metal attracts more dust, hence you will need to clean the bike quite frequently. And also maintaining the matte finish is very difficult as compared to other gloss finish colours. The worst part is that you cannot just use any product to polish the metal parts of the bike, the reason being, the polishing products required for a glossy paint and a matte finish paint is not at all similar. You need to find the proper product so that the colour is maintained properly by regular intervals of matte polishing. I think this is the only aspect from the maintenance perspective considering any matte finish bike from royal enfield, which is mention-worthy. The rest of the maintenance aspects are pretty same for all the re bikes irrespective of colour or model. And trust me you won’t find much difference between the bs3 and bs4 model bikes except for a little bit of engine smoothness. The battery is good enough in the bs4 models to handle the aho feature. Just remember to cold start the engine every morning. That’s it. And yes if you are going to buy the stealth black re with rear disc brake, it will be a little bit of headache for the mechanic to fix a puncture as the rear disc assembly is very hard. The pros: known for classy old charm and powerful performance, very immediate and precise throttle experience, smooth riding. The cons: the absence of a fuel gauge and misleading reserve light does confuse the rider, downshifting is quite hard and lots of vibrations.
