Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is good to buy between Bullet 500 ABS and Classic 500 stealth black, does it have classic looks. Classic is a killer when it comes to performance and Bullet is superb and no way compared to Classic 350, so I want both power and looks.
  • Go for a Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Standard, it's reliable, sturdy, good looking, huge ,comfortable, just manage it's low mileage, rest is fine , not that bad , and go for ABS because of its almost 200 kg weight + the riders weight ,the momentum it creates ,will take a while to stop the bike at 80 + speed , but still it doesn't matter if you are a true blue bullet fan.
  • You will not get 500CC anymore from RE so choose any of the 350 and if you are inclined towards adventure then go for Himalayan, it is one of the best currenlty.
  • The power is very minimal, if you want old school then go for bullet. If you want initial torque then classic
