Is it a future collector's item the Classic 500 Chrome Edition?

Definitely! The chrome edition was always a head turner but the 500cc engine is a piece of Royal Enfield history. It's worth a pretty penny in 20 years — keep it in good condition.
Is the Classic 350 S Redditch Edition good for long rides?
09 January 2025 09:52
With a few mods, like a better seat and handlebar risers, it can be a great long distance bike. It's okay but not amazing stock.
How do you fare with the Classic 350 S Redditch Edition in city traffic?
09 January 2025 09:52
It’s perfect for city riding in my opinion. It’s not too speedy so you don’t need to constantly fight the urge to go faster, and it’s comfortable for short hops.
Does the Classic 350 S Redditch Edition live up to Royal Enfield’s heritage?
09 January 2025 09:52
For new comers, it's a good introduction to RE heritage. It's not meant to be an exact replica of the past, but old timers might be a little more critical.
Is the Classic 350 S Redditch Edition just hype?
09 January 2025 09:52
Absolutely! The Redditch Edition has that vintage look, but none of the modern reliability is sacrificed. It’s like having a little bit of history that you can use to ride every day.
Does the single channel ABS on the base variant compromise safety?
09 January 2025 09:52
It’s not perfect, but if you are an experienced rider, single channel ABS is something you can handle. Dual is definitely something newbies should go for.
Anyone who owns a Classic 500 in 2025, is it a nightmare to maintain?

Is the Royal Enfield Classic 500 worth a buy in 2025?
09 January 2025 09:47
That depends on what you’re looking for. The 500 is great if you want a weekend toy for short rides and don’t mind tinkering. Newer models make more sense for daily use, however.
Just how bad are the vibrations on the Classic 500?
09 January 2025 09:47

Can the Classic 500 cope with the modern traffic?
09 January 2025 09:47
It can’t cope with fast highways. When you are always going at full throttle trying to keep up it is not great for the engine or nerves.
Does the Royal Enfield Classic 350 S do justice to its retro image?
09 January 2025 09:39
A real vintage bike is nothing compared to this, but it’s a good compromise.
Is it worth modifying the Royal Enfield Classic 350 S?
09 January 2025 09:39
You definitely should mod it, but you don't want to lose that classic charm while you are at it.
Can the Royal Enfield Classic 350 S take you on long rides?
09 January 2025 09:39
I’ve ridden my Classic 350 S 300km with no problems. It’s about getting the right posture and taking breaks.
Can the Royal Enfield Classic 350 S cruise on highways?
09 January 2025 09:39
For our highways in India, it’s perfect. I wouldn't want to ride it on American interstates, but.

What will the ape hanger handlebars on the Goan Classic 350 do for long distance riding comfort?
09 January 2025 09:36
Most Goan Classic buyers aren’t going to be doing cross country tours. Let’s be real. For the casual weekend rider, those ape hangers will be more than comfortable and help to enhance the overall experience.
Will tubeless spoke wheels on the Goan Classic 350 be the first of many for Royal Enfield?
09 January 2025 09:36
I'm skeptical. It may be that RE will want to keep this as a "premium" feature to offer on special editions, and therefore charge more for them. Even if it’s frustrating to consumers, it’s a smart business move.
Is the Goan Classic 350's design really Goa, or just using the name for marketing?
09 January 2025 09:36
I feel it’s a nice tribute to Goa’s bike culture. Royal Enfields are incredibly popular with tourists and locals alike, as anyone who’s been there will know. It’s like a nod to that connection.
What does the Goan Classic 350’s price point do to its value proposition in comparison to other Royal Enfield models?
09 January 2025 09:36
It’s priced for enthusiasts that want something unique, but don’t want to go through the hassle of customizing. Because not everyone has the time or the skills to mod their bike, this fills a nice niche.
