Armed with potent fuel injected 500cc and carburetted 350 cc engines and clothed in a disarmingly appealing post war styling, this promises to be the most coveted Royal Enfield in history. Carrying on the Bullet's legacy, this new bike may look like its from the 1960s(and we love that fact so much), but it packs technology which is oh-so 21st century. By price and performance, it also competes with the Pulsar 200NS, the KTM Duke 200, the Yamaha R15 and the CBR150R, though its buyers will be of a completely different type.
For those who want it all. The power, the fuel efficiency, the reliability and simple, yet drop dead gorgeous classic styling. The classic turns heads not because it wants to but because it can’t help it. You will appreciate the beat not just for the music it creates but also for the muted feeling of strength and power that it signifies. The motto, "made like a gun, goes like a bullet", can't be more apt for this machine.
The view is simply better when you are astride a Royal Enfield Classic 500 – whether moving or still. Nothing more to be said.
