I have been using this bike

3.8

I have been using this bike from 4 years, Initially it was felt smooth riding and now the ride has become rough.I feel a lot of scope to refine the royal enfield engines.Sometimes the power is not sufficient to enjoy the ride in little exciting mode, Believe royal enffiled should work on improving power.

Classic 500 Is The Best Bike

I bought my Classic 500 Stealth black 5 years ago and the decision was mainly ridden by the absolutely stunning looks of the bike and the power it offered then. My 5 years of experience with Royal Enfield has been quite smooth when it came to the services or the maintenance that the bike has required over the term. The riding experience hasn't been the best due to the strong vibrations that are felt at higher rpm but it has been comfortable enough. I use the bike as a daily commuter on the weekdays (20 km+) and go for longer rides whenever the weekend allows. The highway ride is smooth once you reach the 5th gear and vary between 80 - 90 kmph but the struggle is real when you try to reach speeds over 100 kmph. A mention about the stealth black color - it does start to get scratched over time if not taken care of. The paint wears off even with the slightest brushing. In my case, the brushing brake wires themselves caused damage to the paint on the front mudguard. Despite the cons it has, I still feel the pros offered in terms of engine reliability, the body strength of the bike, and the low maintenance costs make it a great bike.

Good acceleration

3.4

BIKE IS GOOD TILL THERE IS NO TROUBLE BUT THE MOMENT YOU HAVE AN ISSUE, MOST OFTEN THE DEALERS ARE NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS IT IN ONE GO AND REQUIRES MULTIPLE VISITS WITH BELOW AVERAGE EXPERTISE LEVEL. COMPANY RESPONSE TO CUSTOMER CARE IS POOR AND MOST OFTEN THEY ARE IN SUPPORT OF THERE DEALERS ONLY AND YOU ARE MADE TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER ONLY IN SPITE OF REPEATED REQUESTS FOR A CHANGE OF DEALER DUE TO POOR WORKMANSHIP AND EXPERTISE. THE BIKE IS CERTAINLY NOT TROUBLE FREE WITH HIGH VIBRATION LEVELS BUT IT MORE THAN COMPENSATES FOR WITH HIGH TORQUE AND GOOD ACCELERATION.

Money bike

5.0

It is the best retro bike and this colour is loved by everyone. Personally I also own a classic 350 gunmetal grey and I have done regular 1200 kms ride in 11 hours from chennai to palakkad and back frequently. It is a value for money bike and good for commuting touring and also a little bit of offroading. Like people says it can take you places with roads or without roads 35 to 36 kmpl is decent mileage for a 500 cc single cylinder mill

500cc owner

4.2

The machine with bs3 engine.Milage is short but the bike comes with good torque.Suspension is good compared to 350 carburettor (bs4) it comes with fi on 2014 that is very impressive and iam totally satisfied as a 500cc owner.Vibration is very high on 100-120 but it is not a sports bike so i prefer 90kmph is the sweet spot of my bike.

An Amazing Bike

Royal Enfield classic 500 is my favourite and dream bike. It has a super-powerful engine that has been used which makes it better. Its super-speed is my favourite which is 130+ kmph and also mileage 30-32 kmpl which is good while driving.
