With its dusty, post war styling, classic paintjobs, and old school accessories, the Royal Enfield Classic 500 looks like a blast from the past. However, despite its appearance, the motorcycle is equipped with many features from the modern era which help it deliver more than decent ride and handling performances.

At the heart of the Royal Enfield Classic 500 sits a 499 cc, single cylinder, 4 stroke, twinspark engine with Keihin Electronic Fuel Injection which delivers 27.2 Bhp at 5250 rpm and 41.3 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. All this power is kept under control by a five speed constant mesh transmission with wet, multi plate clutch.

The bike’s ride quality is assured by front 35mm telescopic forks (130mm travel) and a rear twin gas charged shock absorbers with 5-step adjustable preload (80mm travel).

The classic turns heads not because it wants to but because it can’t help it.
