Royal Enfield Classic 500 Review

[adityarverma]

Wow, Just couldn't help my self... The catalytic converter is in the silencer. And you called the carburettor the catalytic converter. Every petrol machine has a carburettor, it mixes the fuel with the air and sends it into the combustion chamber of the engine.

Wow !! Your Classic is very well equiped. And you have kept it in it's original platform. I'm looking into these motorcycles and i love the hand made craftmanship in all of RE line. Thank you for your review .

hello sandeep,

i am thinking of buying thesame bike too, but are they reliable?

becouse they say that the older indian enfields are not good.

are you still happy of your bike?

please let me know.

greetings

[sandeepvk]

@rockingkristof my two cents ... The new Indian enfiled engines are much more reliable than the earlier cast iron engines. i am happy with my buy though i think enfield can still do a lot in the safety dept ( back disc breaks for eg, rear view mirror). They can also improve the build quality of the upholstery, the indicators.

i like the classic new look but not this new engine... no worries time keep changing... just change the silencer into old type... u can rock like my bike...

[chickenkadai]

any way enjoy happy riding, this monster, going to get this in a week

[chickenkadai]

not possible wityh a 500cc , 40 km mileage , may be for 2 liters of petrol, or u should keep ur bike moving by urself for around 15 km

[tej0910]

Hi Sandeep! Great Review! I read your write up as well on mouthshut! Can you do another video review of having owned it for sometime now?? WOULD REALLY BE APPRECIATED from us serious buyers(want to buy rather) of this insanely beautiful bike! Thank you and thanks for being so to the point and technical.I would look forward to another video from you about the C5! Thanks for keeping it technical and to the point!=)

The only people raving about BULLET are the ones who have parked it at their homes and hardly take it out. I drove the bike ~2000km in a month and it is tearing apart. Heavy maintenance. You can maintain 2 Girlfriends for the price of a Bullet. If you want to DRIVE a bike, go for Honda 250cc / Ninja but dont buy a BULLET. You will end up spending time & money @ workshops only.

[Manuoverdrive]

@adityarazdan13 ameh!

[adityarazdan13]

Heads Up! The bike wobbles like crazy @speed over 100km/hr. RE morons have made the bike lighter, tyres smaller, so it leaves ground at speed excess of 100kmph. Committed a sin of buying this bullshit. 500cc of Bullshit. NCR head Jagdish is another Buttmunch, even after complaining he has no clue how to rectify it. After all what can he do if the machinery sucks?

[saffronwales]

@adityarazdan13 what do you expect, the bike was designed in the 50's and has been relaunched with a few shitty parts on it in stead of the simplicity of a carburretta you get FI..... it has become softer like all relaunched stuff, eg dodge charger, golf GTI...

[klantvriendelijk]

nice video of an interesting bike!

[dineshkhairate]

A very nice video, makes me think of it (cl 500) time and again. Great work. :)

[sdehadraya]

Its for the first time that i am gona buy an Enfield n dat too a 500CC classic.. Your video has just made me want this bike more... thanx a lot..

[rachaconda]

i own this bike. Bike is good but the after sale service sucks so dont bother buying any royal enfield

[arunarun4]

Is that a cover in the air filter box??? My personal advice is not to keep anything in the air filter box. It will affect the flow of air.
