Royal Enfield Classic 500 Expert Reviews
54 years to the day the original Bullet rolled out from Redditch, Royal Enfield now has an all-new single cylinder motorcycle. Adil Jal Darukhanawala needed to not just have his eyes checked but also got a reality dose after an extensive test aboard this latest big bore machine.

Mahindra has finally launched the much awaited Mojo. But to makes space for itself in the market, the Mojo will have to hold its own against some stiff competition like the KTM 200 Duke, Honda CBR250R, and the Royal Enfield Classic 500.

Here's the problem you see... I love telling tales, not tall ones but definitely long ones, and a couple of pages are hardly enough to narrate the entire mind blowing experience that was Royal Enfield's Tour of Rann of Kutch. Even narrowing down to a few memorable experiences is going to be a tough act, but here goes anyway.
