How does the Chrome Edition compare, riding wise, to modern retro bikes?

Vintage aesthetics and traditional engineering combine to make the Royal Enfield Classic 500 Chrome Edition a distinctly different riding experience than its modern retro-styled brethren. The Triumph Bonneville and Kawasaki W800 try to modernise the classic look, but the Classic 500 offers a more true vintage feel. And this causes people to debate over the tradeoffs between authentic experience and modern conveniences. Some have come to view the Classic 500's heavier clutch, more pronounced vibrations, and simpler technology as part of the charm, providing a raw, raw feeling to ride. But some contend that modern retro bikes make for the best modern retro bikes, blending classic style with modern performance. The Chrome Edition has a different look than any of the other models, and some riders have said that it garners more attention and conversation than any other modern retro bike. Also in the mix are discussions about whether or not the Classic 500's more demanding ride helps lend greater appreciation to enthusiasts or whether it's simply less practical for everyday use than its more modern rivals.
