Due to the peculiarities of the Royal Enfield Classic 500 Chrome Edition, its owners often change the way they ride and drive. Bike's vintage charm and eye catching chrome finish can affect everything from route choices to riding frequency. Some owners say they are more likely to take scenic routes or go on group rides to show off their bikes. With the chrome finish comes additional maintenance that might give you more frequent, shorter rides versus longer touring. We also discuss how the old school engineering inherent in the bike, and its lack of modern features such as ABS (in older models), can influence riding style, possibly leading you towards a more relaxed, cautious style of riding. The cult following for the Classic 500 often leads to owners joining Royal Enfield clubs, or attending meetups, changing their social dynamics around motorcycling. Furthermore, a few of the riders had also mentioned that they were now more mindful of the weather to safeguard the chrome finish; but some others have actually come to appreciate the patina the bike gets from being ridden. Ultimately, the question is about how the one of a kind nature of the Chrome Edition affects everything from the ride itself to the entire motorcycling lifestyle of its owners.
