Here's what I did to my 2012 500 Classic to make it a really fun bike. I added 1 tooth to the front sprocket ,like you did,. I then put a bash plate, knobby tyres and a sidecar on it and it was a great adventure bike that never let me down and would go just about anywhere. The only thing I didn't like about it was it was chain drive and where the exhaust pipe sat made it just about impossible to adjust the chain without having to removing the tail pipe. They are great fun and as long as you're not in a hurry to get places you'll love it.

I test rode a couple of Ural rigs, decided I needed a sidecar (as long as there were still 2-wheelers in the garage). Then I test rode my buddy's Bullet w/Cozy and had my "ah ha" moment. Found a used '10 Bullet 500 w/Rocket and love it. Then RE came out with the Himalayan, I put my name in for the first white '18 our dealer had here in the States months before they were even available. Absolutely my favorite bike in the garage (I have choices). But then I started really wondering about a Bullet w/o a sidecar. Found an '18 Classic Stealth and love it, makes me feel like a Real Gentleman, you can imagine how tough that would be. Himalayan still my favorite but the 'Stealth is nipping at its heals, definitely in the 99th percentile. I understand. Thanks for your content Mr. Brown!

My W800 has a long stroke engine that makes 80% of it's torque at 2500rpm. Low end grunt makes motorcycles a pleasure to drive on normal roads with normal traffic. Not so good on a race track but racetrack bikes are no fun unless you are driving fast. Too bad RE discontinued the 500. I can pull off from a stop on my W800 without even touching the throttle.

Hi VB, It must be nice to have the cc range to choose from according to the job required. My 350 is my first " small bike" since 1975 ish. It's great for the B roads and urban work, which is probably 95% + where buyers would use it. Everything else said about this bike has been covered many times, BUT !,,, that bit more grunt would stretch its appeal to a much bigger old boys market. A 500 J Platform classic would in my opinion be a winner for us older coddgers. Personally, I like the bigger mileage days out, the 350 is excellent for half days and evening jaunts. That's just my opinion. So with your 500 Classic comments in mind, I tend to agree, it could be the best all round bike for todays seasoned riders. I just like the look of the J platform engine, it reminds me of the old Beeza 500 single ( An absolute Classic in it's own right) Come on Enfield, give us a J platform Classic 500, with a Interceptor style frame. Thanks for another great video: you dont want to get mixed up with all that sponsored nonsense, it would compromise your style. Stay true to your beliefs Regards Mike N

I also have one of the final Classic 500's and I think that they are way better than the new 350's. Royal Enfield have done their best to get people to either forget the 500 or to never even know that there was one. Fit and finish on the 500 is every bit as good as the 350, if not better! The performance is 30+% better in both power and torque and there's no 'tank off' job at every service to adjust tappets, unlike the 350. The seat on the 500 has genuine springs, not like the fake optional ones on the 350. The clocks on the 500 are glass fronted with polished alloy rims, unlike the 350 which has plastic 'glass' and chromed plastic dials. Even the key surround is polished alloy on the 500. It is chromed plastic on the new 350. Even the battery box on the new 350 is a fake one!! The side boxes are only metal fronted on the new 350, they are all metal on the 500. The list is endless as to how much better the 500 is...

As you ride over the "New" road surface, the tyres pick up the chippings which have tar all over them and the back wheel does a great job of throwing them at the belt. The ones that land on the inner surface of the belt really stick and as they go round the rear belt pulley that it, they punch through the belt. Game over!

@@Volcanicbrown1878 the Royal Enfield 350 meteors are selling for $3,000 lb on the road. Everyone who wants an overpriced underpowered fake British motorcycle has gotten one and has been disappointed with it which is why Facebook marketplace is drowning in Royal Enfield 350 for sale at giveaway prices. In England you have curvy little roads that are barely wide enough for two cars fast one another and so you can use a low-powered 350 single in America a low-powered 350 single on the highway makes you roadkill and someone's hood ornament. Western sales were not enough to continue production of the 500 which were a drop in the bucket compared to the 350 sales in India. It was good that Royal Enfield still had a Kickstarter on their bikes because this way you can still start the bike if the battery was low just like the Euro still has a Kickstarter on their bikes. My 1998 and 1/2 Euro tourist is one of the first ones made with an electric starter after 60 years of making them Kickstart only. I like kickstarting my URL in front of all the Harley people to show them how to take start a real motorcycle. Flathead engines are very good engines cool running and long-lasting, they only make half of the horsepower of a overhead valve version of the same displacement but with low compression half a kick and the bike will start and after working all day you don't want to fight with kick-starting your motorcycle in order to get it to go take you home. A place that starts with half a Kik in walking shoes is much better than a high horsepower bike that is a pain in the ass to start. Of course my Triumph is a 1 or 2 kick starting bike. I wanted to put a Kickstarter on my 1999 883 Harley-Davidson Sportster but my mechanic refused to do it. They made a conscious decision not to make hydraulic valves adjustments with the 350 in order to make you take it to the dealer or to make you have to do it yourself instead of not having to do it at all. The 500 also had 10 more horsepower and was never considered underpowered in everyday riding and could get to 85 mph. Today's motorcycles are a collection of government regulations on two wheels. That's what I like about my vintage motorcycles they don't have any regulations at all

So they discontinue the 500 but then bring out the Guerrilla 450. Why not just leave the 500 an option. A 350 classic as a 500 classic would be perfect for slightly heavier riders.

Because enfield have to move with the times and there going to use the new 450 water-cooled platform in a few bikes. Hopefully we will see the 650 classic later this year 😉

@jjstuartonwriting8150 They dropped the 500 because they couldn't get it to meet the emissions. That 450 "Guerrilla" looks very generic and doesn't interest me one bit.

Wow, a motorcyclist who actually uses top gear before 80mph!

@stevetaylor8698 I tend to ride on the torque and not the revs, but I know what you mean!

I would have thought that your number of subscribers and views etc would have qualified you to be monetised, it’s a poor show, unlike your videos which are great ! 🇬🇧
