The 2 Indian brothers are the legendary Kumar brothers & their skill is amazing.They done all the paintwork on the ltd edition 2021 Black Edition.
Aren't they the only people to pinstripe all the recent REs? That's a lot of painting!!!! They make it look effortless. Hate those kinda people!!😂
@@PineyRider That's right Tom,they have some skills.
illegal levels of consistency💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 i don't know what they are on, but their work is impeccable, near perfect. I cannot believe it s just two dudes doing every ltd edition 2021, because i ve seen 5 of em so far and i couldnt find any flaws on 4 of 5 and only a minor double edge on a single stripe end on the 5th
I love my 2017 500 Royal Enfield Classic Chrome . I've had mine for 4 plus years. I get a ton of positive comments from public. It is a perfect 50 to 55 mph ride and enjoying the sunshine.
Thanks for the information on the GB500 at Mecum.
Very nice!
I love the sound of the classic 500.
I've always liked these Royal Enfield 500's. The first time I saw one I thought it was a beautifully restored 1950's bike. I was looking for a used 500 when I was in the market for my first bike a few years ago. Not a lot of used ones out there for sale. Ended up buying a 70's Honda CB, but I'd still like one of these in my garage someday..
The Avon tires are standard equipment on these motorcycles. I have a 2017 model with the exact same tires. They are quite durable as well.
Good Video, really like the Classic 500/Bullets, wish we had a RE dealership near me. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks 👍
I own the exact same bike.
I did carb conversion which really allows the bike to function much better. Those are decals. Trust me i wish it was hand painted but no such luck. Great bike ride. If you want to drastically reduce vibes head steady stays from hitchcocks one on each side.
An Indian UTUBER gave my son an '08 Bullet iron barrel, no electric start, hand painted tank...would not start. Took out NGK BPR9ES And installed spec. BPR6ES. Started right up and starts 1st kick every time. Son gave it to me and I haven't ridden my Harley since😊
I have ridden harleys and sport bikes. I was looking for a sedate ride and this is the perfect bike for that. Great easy handling soft riding machine.
Couldn't agree more!
The new 350 Classic is just as powerful as the old 500 except on hills maybe & is a beautiful built bike & the fit & finish is better than 500.smoother,less vibrations & once run in properly (no more than 85kmh until 500+ km)it will cruise a long at 105kmh quite happily all day.
Ultimate cruiser with 50's styling.
If you want more power & 60's looks go for a Interceptor or GT 650 & with it's low down torque & lighter weight will out do a 883 Harley Davidson & keep up with the bigger Harley cc bikes,as I well know riding with 1580 Harley Davidson on my 650 Int.Also 650 leave Harley behind in the Twisty stuff.
Replacing stock exhausts is a must for RE Classic version especially after BS-III. It will give you a much better sound.
Be careful, most that I’ve seen suffer in performance from an exhaust. I don’t think it’s worth it for better sound.
In my opiniona the stock exhaust already sounds pretty good with lot of character
Great video.The Classic Meteor looks very nice indeed.Thanks for taking the time.Would you be prepared to post your Tee shirts to Northern Ireland?
I own the exactly the same Classic 500 , 2013 version. By far the most classic and retro bike from RE stable. Have been riding this for more than a decade and the fun per gallon. Taken it to Leh/ladakh and the most reliable bike.
Love this!
That sure is a pretty bike. I just bought a Ventura blue '22 INT650 in the beginning of December. I really wanted the Glitter and Dust but it was discontinued. Ventura blue is just fine. It looks a whole lot like my first street bike, a 1975 blue CB 550 Four Super Sport. Still haven't been able to get over 100 miles on it yet in NJ with the below avg temps! But I do have AEW pea shooters, Motone tank grips and a gun metal gray tank decal all ready to go soon as Mother Nature gives us a break!
You make good watchable videos. Love the variety you showcase. HDs are pretty bike and have a rich American history, but there's a lot more to the story of motorcycles in America than just HD and Indian. Thanks for the wide variety. Hope your business does well. 💰💰📈
Thanks! If you decide down the road you need to have glitter and dust, we stashed away a few tanks once we got word they were stopping them. You are definitely our people with your first bike and your latest bike!
Great comment Tom I see the American company Kroker might be back.I think it's the Grandson of original inventer & will be building them in the same style.Hopefully have ABS & disc brakes.
@@throttlecompany Definitely great videos bro.👍
I bought that Honda in 1991 for $225 and it only ran on 3 cylinders. That cleared up and then it was amazing. I actually liked riding that Honda more than the 1980 CB 750 Custom I bought in 97.
I'm hooked, I love the "dug dug dug" and the relaxed engine even at 60 mph. So How much? What is your asking price?
This one sold hours after the video was filmed. It was a beautiful bike, there will be others in the future.
Gorgeous
I have the same exact bike and colour.
Hard to find videos of the 500s in the USA.
Super Meteor 650 has been launched
New classic 350 is overall new it has the meteor engine.
yep, that's what I said, thanks for watching!
@@throttlecompany ok thanks man
I have 2000 model cast iron engine, point standard bullet 500cc with heaviest 12.5 crank and also 2016 model classic 500 desert strom EFI model and also 2018 model classic 500 stealth black version ( now she is shiny yeah I polish her a lot 🤭 ) changed her in to carburetor and gentlemen i love every single version of these beauties 👌🏼

👍✌️🇨🇵
Is this bike still for sale?
No, this bike sold an hour after I made the video. The first customer to see it bought it. I knew it would go fast but not that fast.
@@throttlecompany I live in NYC and have been looking for a Classic 500. Not easy to find.
@@patrickmathews1646 Try it get from India, there are a lot for sale
Bullet is different, this is only classic. Highest selling motor bike in india
I’m glad we agree on so much!

I was lucky enough to be able to get a new 2013 B5 Bullet 9 years and 22K miles ago. I IMMEDIATELY converted it to an Amal carburetor, using a kit from Hitchcocks in the UK, and also installed an aftermarket exhaust on it. It is one of the 2 most wonderful bikes I've ever ridden, the other being my 1966 Triumph Bonneville. If you have a 2016 or earlier EFI model, convert it to a carburetor NOW, while you can still get the parts. If you have a 2017 or newer model, you are just SOL. Those cannot be converted, and you are unfortunately stuck with the HORRIBLE EFI. Certainly nothing "classic" or "reliable" about EFI. I do see it at least has an aftermarket exhaust on it.
I have an Avon Speedmaster on the front of my B5 Bullet. Not a great tire for handling, but it looks the part with the ribbed tread. Just watch out for southern CA freeways with rain grooves. But then you should not be riding a bike like that on the freeway anyway.
It was 2 companies. The original British re and the indian re that was made another company for indian army. Then British re went bankrupt and the re india became the sole re and the original company.
