Can the Classic 500 cope with the modern traffic?
A vintage design and older technology in the Royal Enfield Classic 500 often brings up questions as to how it will perform in today’s traffic conditions. It has a bigger engine than its 350cc counterpart, but it is a very different animal in terms of power delivery and overall performance characteristics than a modern motorcycle. Its laid back nature has riders arguing that the torque heavy engine isn't enough for quick overtakes or highway cruising, while others argue that it is ideal for leisurely rides. Weight of the bike, braking performance and handling in urban environments are also facts to consider. It has its classic charm, some say it compensates for any performance shortcomings, while others feel it's out of place in today's fast paced modern traffic scenarios.
No problem at all. With plenty of torque for city riding it can cruise at highway speeds just fine.
