Timeless Royal Enfield Classic 500 Military - Wahoo!

[@tompas11A3n52KkX]

I own a 2018 Classic 500. My bike has by now over 18000 km on the odo and it just runs and runs. Never had any problems with this great bike.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

These are wonderful motorcycles. Built tough and fun to ride. Wahoo!

[@corriecole4687]

I took a test ride on a Classic 500 that was at Baxter Cycle. I was instantly hooked. I have a Bullet 500 Trials now ,and I absolutely love it. It’s the perfect back roads Tennessee bike

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love the 500 Trials. One of my favorite bikes. Wahoo!

[@stuartmansell6675]

my 2020 500 Classic is a wonderful bit of kit. ideally suited to touring the lanes of East Lothian Scotland.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I'm going to try and get to Scotland next year. Hope to ride there. Wahoo!

[@archond8922]

I love the 500's hope to have my 06 bullet on the road soon.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I always feel great after riding the 500 RE. Wahoo!

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Great bike! Kick start! I’d love to add one to my garage sometime. Maybe next year.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

That would be cool!

[@critterIMHO]

I still have a 2001 pre-unit bullet that I don’t know what to do with. I never thought mine was that viby , but it was problematic in many ways. Go through it and make everything good? Sell it? Decisions. Decisions.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

They are a wonderful motorcycle, for sure. Some seem to have more vibe than others. Wahoo!

Take a girl for a ride she will love it.. 😉

[@johnlacaze4811]

That's the headlight switch below the kill switch.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

ah, now I understand. On US bikes headlight is always on making this switch superfluous. Thanks!

[@johnlacaze4811]

@@forgottenmotorcycles there's actually a short wire bundle with plugs at both ends that you can remove behind the headlight that will allow the switch to function.

[@simonnomis5302]

so what is your opinion as a rider between this and the 350 as for power...dont give me numbers just your thoughts. :)

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

The 500 feels like it has more power and more torque and probably goes faster but at a cost. Its older engine vibrates considerable amount more and has a much higher center of gravity when compared to the 350. I like the 500 a lot, I love my 350. I would try to get to a dealer and ride both bikes at least a dozen miles or more and see what you think. I've got a friend that's got the 500 and wouldn't give it up for the world. On the other hand, I just love riding my 350. Just got off of it a second ago as a matter of fact.

[@simonnomis5302]

@@forgottenmotorcycles thanks for the reply....i hesitated 2 years ago buying the 500...now the current option is the 350...some say that there isnt much difference...the thing is that maybe the sell a 500 in a year or 2...a ride review with the 2 of them would be in use...

[@arthol51]

I have a 500 tribute...I love it and will probably keep it until I croak. Both are slow bikes but the 500 has double the torque of the 350 and torque floats my boat. The 350 classic reborn is silky smooth compared to the 500 but understand that anyone on a new vespa is going to kick your butt. Both are headturners and I get heaps of old blokes coming up to me with stories about the 500s they had when they were young.

Oui

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@paulblackfield473]

Didn't really tell us much about the bike. What was the point of the video?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo
