Royal Enfield Classic 500

Seriously love my Classic 500! It's slow, simple and reliable. It puts a grin on my mug every ride.

I just looked this video up cuz I just met a guy who rides one of these and he put a spring or seat on it off of Indian put the high cholo exhaust tip on it I got a bigger headlight move the horn up front under the headlight what else did he do oh yeah replumbed the airbox to put an open air filter on it and uses the stock air box is just like a small case like a cell phone case or something now he did a lot of stuff to this a bunch of little things though and it just made this bike look so cool like I couldn't even believe it it was the coolest bike

Love the accessories, esp. the indicators. I've the 350, and one thing I wish it had is a kickstart. Why they were restricted to the 500s, I've no idea.

[@nfinnigan]

Thanks for your comments. Yes, your right I also like the kick start, I use it every time I start the bike. I also have the 350 classics and very smooth, but the classic 500 you know you're riding a real bike; you can feel it. Thanks

[@silverback3926]

I can never get enough of tje classic 500. I have a chrome c5 classic 500. Just did carb coversion. Bike gets even better. I wanted to out knne pad on tank. Found out that RE sctrached the tank to get good adhesion for the decals . Now i looking for a way to get those scratches out. I purchased different set of decals to cover it up but i cant seem to put them on without getting wrinkles in the decal. Ugh!!! Might end up having the chrome painted black but i like the chrome look. Bummed. Still bike is my buddy and deserves all my attention. Great bike. To bad they discontinued it. I think RE made a big mistake with that decision. Great video

[@nfinnigan]

Thank you for your comments. At least you can comb your hair of the reflection of the tank, that's always good. A hair dryer is good for getting wrinkles out of the decal. I hope your dream comes true with the new 350cc classic, they will continue the blood history of what the classic RE is but have to tweak things a bit for the environment.

[@samuelbraunwalder3022]

Hey, which carb did you use? Hitchcocks kit? Mikuni, Amal or the Inian Ucal? What are the benefits after that period of time?

[@paulsmith3487]

Music is rather mournful for such a happy riding event!

Very cool video and nice atmospheric north of the border/classic backing track to blend in nicely with the classic bike, and despite my not even having had breakfast, grabs helmet and off I go for a spin on my Enfield Pegasus. I just needed a gentle nudge to get my backside off the sofa and your video hit the spot. PS: what’s your exhaust system? It looks and sounds great, and it’s time for me to replace the original, which is just a tad too quiet for my delicate taste 🧐 And where did you get the bar-end mirrors?

This is Korea. Thank you very much for your video It's a wonderful bike ride with nature. I have a question while watching the video. 1. I was surprised by the cool sound of what kind of company the muffler is from. 2. I was curious about the strong product information that seems to go on tire unpaved roads. I always wish you good luck for safe driving and support you from far away in Korea

[@nfinnigan]

Hi, thanks for your comments. The muffler I bought from India, so I'm not sure of the make. Sorry not sure what you mean about "Strong product information" I also had a scooter made in Korea, Dailm s3 it was a great scooter, well built and great priced. Many thanks

[@markknoblauch2128]

Watched this again... Love the Halcyon goggles. Do you find they limit your peripheral vision at all, Nick? I'd probably need to get a couple pair: one clear and another that is tinted. I don't have anywhere near me where I can pick them up and try them on, so I would want to hear from users before I made the leap to purchase them.

[@nfinnigan]

Hi, to be honest I don't really use them, they are more to look good when riding, I know that sounds like a right plonker , but if I am caught out and need to ride in the dark I will use them instead of using sunglasses in the dark, which is being a double plonker. I would say you get very good visibility and no wind rushing in from the sides as you would from sunglasses, the only thing is I would possibly get the size that has a smaller frame as the standard size. The standard goggles which I have touches the top rim of my helmet and if I move my helmet around when trying to scratch my head, it will move the goggles also. Hope this helps.

[@krishm16]

I'm a beginner bike rider. I've just invested in a classic 500 and will hopefully get it by the summer. I've never ridden before. How easy is it to pick up, learn ride the Classic 500. I've wanted this bike since god knows when. Now that I'm working towards it, I'm a little intimidated.

[@nfinnigan]

Hi Cosmo, thanks for your question. That should not be your 1st question, how easy is it to pick up, I hope you dont intent on dropping it, or hope you don't drop it. If you think you might drop the bike, you would be better to get engine bars fitted, they are very cheap for this bike and will save the bike from damage if dropped, I have seen these bikes dropped before in the Himalayas over hard terrane and with the crash bars fitted they pick the bike up and away again. Its a very easy bike for beginners to ride, not the fastest to pull away or stop compared to modern bikes but by far the most fun and enjoyment you will get from riding a bike. The bike is a bit heavy, but low down heavy, but don't let this intimidate you. Its a small bike where you can get your feet on the ground and will put you at ease. Enjoy your new bike, you will love it and wonder what all the worry was about,

[@krishm16]

@@nfinnigan Thank you so much for your response. There is a pair of engine bars attached to the side of the bike and I saw it in action first hand as I attempted to roll the bike off the stand and saw it drop side-ways. I haven't even gotten the bike of the stand and have already dropped it. Luckily it was a light drop. I still have many techniques and methods of bike handling to learn. Hopefully with a few classes and mentoring, I pick it up and alleviate these minor anxieties. Here's to the upcoming summer!
