It's hard to describe but modern machines are so much more clinical and remote. The clutch lever feels like a lever, I can tell I'm pulling wire through a tube which pulls plates apart. I'm expecting everything to feel somewhat agricultural. Kickstart and electric start, your choice. I can feel the piston casually make it's way up and down the long stroke bore with a twitch each time the fuel explodes. I've owned a 650 single before hand but this is much more visceral. With a dab of the starter button the fully electronic fuel injection squirts just the right amount of gas into the motor and it starts perfectly. There is indeed a kickstart if you ever feel the need to break your ankle but times have moved on even for Enfield. This model has a single seat in the saddle style, complete with springs for that extra comfort.

The footrests are a little further forward than I'm used to and the seating position makes me feel very much like I'm sat on top of the bike, not within it.

No dangling leg syndrome here, it feels more like a heavy 125 than a big brutal 500 single. Sitting on the bike I realise it's actually quite small. These things seem trivial but if you're going to ride often and in all weathers these things make a difference.

Full length mudguards stop the muckВ collecting on the motor or up your back. Keys open what I figure are electric and air filter pods on either side. Simple fork shrouds protect the stanchions from the elements. The proof is always how well the bike ages, how it may look after 40,000 miles of British rain. The Enfield is a match for the non Japanese made Jap bikes. The build quality isn't really up to the best Japanese standards but then the big four are building some models in India, China and Korea. I like it a lot, the idea that it can be taken apart. I can't find any 'don't touch' Torx bolts. There's no annoying fairings and trim panels with flimsy clips that break and never fit as well as they first did. Everything is accessible and held together with nuts and bolts. Looking around the bike is a refreshingly mechanical experience. Personally I'm not into 160mph or getting my knee down so maybe simple and unrefined may be OK for my style. There is a downside to simple though, simple bikes are typically unrefined and and somewhat basic. Simple bikes don't have complicated and complex bits that can go wrong and cost a fortune to fix. Simple bikes require simple and readily available tools. Why do I like simple? Because simple bikes can be repaired and maintained by simple people like myself. This, according to the Enfield website, is the 'Desert Storm' Classic. Compared to other modern motorcycles the current batch of Royal Enfields are simple, some would say positively basic. Yeah, great, marvellous and all that but I'm not into 'classic' motorcycles or nostalgia. Synonymous with classic British Motorcycles yet still in production in India. Whenever you buy it? Clear with the sales man about how much it'll cost cause they scam a lots of people even they gave me life 2 insurance polices even without asking me.Royal Enfield 500 Classic Test Ride Review The bike is really cool but this company only prefer to make profit not quality. It's been only 3-4 months but my bike looks like 1-2 years old. They just use very low quality product on this bike. It's been only 3-4 months, my bike's indicators started to fade (under the silver part), the chrome plating doesn't shine anymore, while cleaning with clothes it leaves scratches on the paint, low quality alloy wheels, some minor things were even missing which I had to buy later etc. Third, the company uses very cheap and low quality products to manufacture this bike.

Even the first 3 service were supposed to be free but they even charged me about 1200 on my first service and after that I decided not to go there. Secondly, their service center unnecessarily charged for it's service. When I reported this to the company then they refunded me only about 7500. When I purchased the bike, they charged me about 10000 extra unnecessarily.

But, i really didn't like what company is doing with it's customers. First of all, i really like this bike and it's one of the best bike for sure.
