My dad came out for a visit and test rode my 1955/2003 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic. Royal Enfields were originally made in England, then in India when a factory was opened there in 1954. Since then, the India factory has continued building the 1955 Royal Enfields.

  • love these bikes! are they ridable in mountains or interstates? im a bit over 200lbs so i was wondering how one of these 500cc bikes would handle with me in mountains or interstate or on interstates over 60mph. just looking for feedback and opinions lol. i just love these enfields!

  • @dirtyjew1974

    On interstates, I don't go above 65mph.

    Enfields are built for the mountains though. It's the bike of choice in the Himalayas. Search YouTube for "Royal Enfield Himalayas"

  • That is one sweet bike Chris. You have me thinking about changing my mind on the ride I want to get now...hmmm

  • Thanks Chase! They're cheap brand new at $4700. I got mine used for $3000.

  • Hey Chris...

    What exhaust system and seat do you have on you RE?

    Looks and sounds great!

  • Thanks!

    The seat is the Premium Solo Seat (Tan) from the EnfieldMotorcycles store (although they don't list the premium on the new store yet), the "Deluxe" is listed and looks the same - I don't know how they differ.

    The exhaust is the "Classic Exhaust System" also available at the EnfieldMotorcycles store.

  • What a motorcycle and sound

  • These are wonderful motorcycles...had a chance to ride one a couple of years back through southeast Ohio...fantastic sound, great feel, solid ergos. It isn't meant for top line speed, just an enjoyable backroads cruise...

  • Go dad

  • Hi where did you get the tank grill ?

  • What did your dad make of it?

    My old boy used to race his 350 Gold Star on the Isle of Man in the 50's but had absolutely NO LOVE for British bikes at all!! Get a Jap was always his advice!

    Me, I love the old style Enfields, Triumphs.

  • Is this the classic model? Love the black tank and tan seat!

  • thats an indian bike

  • think the black bike with tan seat is my favourite combination. looks ace.

  • the preferred bike for any one who is to travel to himalays. The bike is just unstoppable.

  • @bikedemon99 its bettar in person n i have one enfeild buts its 350

  • Cool "cuffs" and boots!

  • These bikes need lots of work. Clutch overheats in traffic, fit and finish is poor. They have about 20 bhp.If you have the time and money to fix these short comings they can be fun to ride.
