Thank you!

Actually wanted to buy it in India but they discontinued it stating that the color is only available for the Indian army. So what you are riding is a rare piece of Indian pride and privilege. Most Indians would be jealous 😁

Haha cheers! I found out about that when I was in India last year! Check out my other video of my trip from Mumbai to Goa on a Bullet 500. It's where I fell in love with RE

Thank you for watching my videos! I have been busy with other projects the past few months, but new content is coming, and I have a big surprise! Make sure to subscribe so you can stay up to date :) ride safe! The Classic 500 is a fantastic machine

I learned that simple clear nailpolish willnwork just as good 😅

The 650 is a totally different machine. By all means it is a great bike! Definitely a lot quicker than a Bullet or Classic 500. I love it! But when I had the chance to buy one, I choose the Classic instead. It is an emotional thing. Haven't regretted it yet. Might pick up a 650 in a couple of years

@@bensal07 I like the way the 500 makes me feel. The 500 puts a smile on my face, the 650 makes me crap my pants - in a good way.

That's right! That is why I put taller shocks on my enfield ;)

It's a totally different bike than an mx bike. I would recommend you take a test ride. You may love or hate it. There is no in between it seems haha ;) I hated the Classic 500 a couple of years ago. I found it too slow, handled poorly, the brakes were inadequate, and it was too basic. Until I went to India last year and didna trip from Mumbai to Goa on a Bullet 500 (check out the video I made about that trip.) All of a sudden the bike made total sense! I fell in love with the simplicity, the vibes, the sound, even the handling. I bought one, and haven't regretted it since. It's a bike that keeps you on your toes, there is always something that needs to be taken care of. If you are looking for a bike that needs no care at all, I would suggest any other japanese or european brand bike. If you love to get your hands dirty, and work on a bike yourself, the enfield will be great for you! It is NOT an unreliable bike, it's just a bit quirky. Mine had most issues due to ME pushing the engine and fram to the limits. If you ride it normally, you will be absolutely fine. Hope you find this info useful

@@bensal07 I like it man, it sounds like an advanture book to me , a long one. I'm taking a test ride soon.

Hi Franz, thanks or your comment. I have the one called "Butterfly", bu to be honest, I got it from someone who was gonna throw it away! They are all fine, as long as you like the shape. The trapezoid looks good, so does the octagonal.

Hi Lorenzo! I can imagine it being a pain to deal with. I have to say that I got a bit of an Enfield bug, so I may be more forgiving for the "issues"

Hi Maxim, they are Shinko E805 and E804. The front tire is a 100/90 size, but the rear is 120/90. For the front tire to fit, I had to use a Euro-spec fender, which has space for bigger wheels. I used 20mm longer rear shocks to make sure the rear wheel fits without rubbing. Hope this helps!

Hi Jimmy! Thanks for your comment. The change to off road happened over a years time. It kinda grew into it. I have to say that I am pretty pleased with the results. Plus, I'm not sure I fancy the looks of the Himalayan. If I had one, I would modify it into something like the Fuel Bespoke Motorcycles' Himalayan!

Hi Spencer! It would be very difficult to install the pannier rack without the pillion removal first. Having said that, the pillion can be removed in un der 5 minutes. Undo the bolt under the seat, and only loosen the shock absorber nuts (no need to completely remove them). The pillion seat then slides off

@@bensal07 Thanks. So meaning you cannot install the rack panniers while retaining the pillion? Because im thinking that I will install the pannier rack with the pillion. 😊

I haven't had the bike on the dyno yet, but I expect around 30hp on the rear wheel. From the factory these bikes push about 18 or 19hp on the rear wheel. The best mod I did so far is placing a full freeflow exhaust, so header with a bigger inner diameter and without cat, and muffler that is flee flowing.

@@bensal07 cool looking forward to the results by the way did you do any head mods?

@@davidwilliamson9162 Good question! I replaced all moving parts of the head, so valves, valve springs, shims, push rods, and cams to competition spec ones from Hitchcocks.

@@bensal07 did you go bigger on the valve sizes?

@@davidwilliamson9162 No not bigger, but lighter

It handled the desert runs like a champ! Every weekend, I would take the bike out for a long ride (+/-250km). Never missed a beat!

@@bensal07 Hello Adnane. I'm looking at bikes for the moment whilst here. Already own a KTM1290 R in the Philippines so was originally looking at the Hymalayan but underpowered and was Hoping RE would have put either the 500 or 650 in the bike to truly make it shine. So my choices were for here the Yamaha 700 Tenere when it arrives in the UAE. Or either the 500 Nice bike. But I like the 650 with a view to converting it to scrambler. So having seen the upgrades on yours I know there will need to be less on the 650

@@parasinthephilippines Easy, if you are looking for an affordable but capable bike, go for the 650. Go visit Avanti Zone RE in Dubai and tell them I sent you :)

Yes I am! Where are you from?

Adnane Bensalah ja ik ook! Binnen paar dagen wordt mijn royal enfield bullet 500 geleverd, kan niet wachten!

@@manohar226 Leuk! Stuur me even een berichtje als je het hebt

Adnane Bensalah zal ik doen!

Adnane Bensalah Yo hij is vandaag binnengekomen man! Echt heerlijk

Hi! Moet er nog heen met mijn Enfield (is nog onderweg naar NL), maar ben er vaker geweest met mijn andere motoren. MAD Racing in Noord-Scharwoude, dat is vlak bij Alkmaar. Aanrader!! Hebben echt verstand van fine-tuning/afstellen.

Lol

Hi! Thanks for your comment. I'm not planning on selling it anytime soon. Are you looking for one?

@@bensal07 Hello! I don't blame you lol. Yes I am! They are pretty hard to come by these days in the states.

@@ameliaah Whereabout in the States? I might be able to help out!

I didn't! I still have it! Well, technically, the port authorities still have it. It was shipped to my home country and is now being held in quarantine for 2 weeks before I can collect it .

@@bensal07 I had a 2018 RE 500 classic Battle Green that was Stolen! Had it 3.5 months however the. 2 018 I originally purchased had disk brakes how do you like drum rear and front abs? I'm looking into purchasing an early year 2018 with drum rear! Any thaougts? Thanks

@@ericoutland8239 I think the 2018 model is a very good bike, in the sense that disk brakes are definitely superior to drum brakes. Same goes for ABS! Having said that, considering the modest power the bike produces, the brakes I have on my bike are sufficient. If you're adamant in having a bike that rides and brakes like the old ones, the drum brake versions will tickle your interest. If not, then go for the newer model with better brakes.

That's true! Lol

@@bensal07 have a 2021 bullet 500 last batch made hoping to keep for a while no mods

@@yuvrajsinghmaanrotaholic5017 totally understandable. That's a future classic 👌ride safe!
