Fun fact: The army green color which old man in riding was banned by the government of India for a very long time. This particular green color was made by royal enfield was supplied only to military personnel. Any civilian who choses to change their bullet to this particular color, would have their bike seized by cops and later the owner would be prosecuted. At that time Royal enfield could only sell the battle green outside india.
yikes
@@OlManRonin yup but after lal purchased company, he made the battle green and desert storm(primarily used by army) available for civilians.
@@acidmonster7802 I simply love what Mr. Lal has done with RE. He truly is the best head of ANY motorcycle company on the planet DEEP DEEP Respect
@@OlManRonin TOTALLY 100%! He's taken that company to the next level to the point where RE can compete with anyone.
Love that bike. Very envious. ;)
I will miss your perspective and wisdom old friend rest in peace
Just came across this video
Am I missing something 😮
I have both a Classic 500 and an Interceptor, and any time I can get away with riding the 500 it's the one I take out. The interceptor is a great bike, but for putting around on the back roads, taking your time and just soaking in the view and the pure riding experience the Classic 500 is such a winner. Another thing.....although I didn't buy it to please anyone but myself it's still quite gratifying that it attracts so much interest from the general public. I've had old ladies who'd have to be in their eighties come up to me and say that their first boyfriend used to own an Enfield......stuff like that. This bike just exudes a friendly, easy going charm that seems to be irresistible to everyone. I just get a warm fuzzy feeling from owning and riding mine, I just love it, it's silly innocent fun.
NAILED it. This right here...all day long!
Truth. I had a 535 continental GT and also a 650 continental GT. The 650 is leagues better in quality, freeway speeds, etc but I still prefer the looks and feel of the 535 without a doubt. I live in an area with a high concentration of Indians and can’t even tell you how many times I’ve came out of a store and seen them taking turns sitting on my bike smiling and really reliving a moment of their past, people that came up to me and showing me photos of their family in India on the ‘family’ royal Enfield they’ve had for 30 years, etc. It was amazing how much commotion that cheap (in price) that royal Enfield created. Even showing up to bike events, people would walk passed expensive Italians to come see and hear the thump of the Enfield. It really made a statement!
Steve in Omaha
I bought my Classic 500 new in 2013. I rode it all over Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana in the mountains. I now have over 17,000 miles on it. There's nothing else like it, unless you can find a '40s or '50s bike for sale that doesn't break the bank. I wish you luck with yours!
ALMIGHTY KABIR
It’s a Beautiful bike Ronin! I don’t own a classic 500 but from what I’ve heard from guys who own one love em to bits! They also say the bike gets better & better the more miles on it! It’s hard to describe the feeling of owning one I’ve been told! RE have managed somehow to hold on to the Soul of there bikes! Love Royal Enfield GOD BLESS EM!
I was heartbroken when I heard the RE 500 was being discontinued. I've wanted them for as long as I can remember. I managed to snag a used one from 2011 this year by absolute chance. It's a real dream come true. Wish I could still buy a brand new RE 500 and break it in from scratch, but something is absolutely better than nothing. I love my current RE 500. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I'm hearing you loud & clear. I've had the same kind of bikes as you & then stopped riding 20 yrs ago. Now I have a 2020 Royal Enfield 500 Trials with red frame. I absolutely love it. Great on the back roads. Cheers.
Ol' Man Ronin passed away few months ago. May he rest in peace!
I'm in the UK and own the same red framed 500 Trials model as you. I'll never part with it, I love it so much.
Each time I watch I'm drawn closer and closer to adding another Royal Enfield to the garage. I just love the look and styling of the classic 500 and 350. And the green is an amazing color. My wife probably wishes I would quit watching your channel!
lol I'm so not sorry lol cheers Scooter
Yes RE are so clever! They sell at such a low price but they know most customers will buy at least three different models! 👍😊
i wish that I would quit watching this channel, along with Stuart Fillingham's
Resistance...is futile! Just do it.
Hey Ronin, I said the same thing on Freddie Dobbs RE 500 Video, about what this bike is.
So as to say, if the Classic 350 is a Privet of an army, then the 500 is the Veteran Black Commando, its a serious yet simple machine, you can tear it down and put it back yourself with just basic tools, almost anywhere, it can take heavy loads and can probably tow a house ;) if there is a difficult task to be done, it will do it with confidence, if you need to transport a load of supplies to a remote village in the Great Himalayas, in difficult terrain, uphill, gravel, rain, mud, snow, slug, the motorcycle will reach, it will not stop, it will go, and in all the mess and madness of harsh weather and unforgiving terrain, you might find yourself surprisingly in some sort of comfort, and the warmth from that good old 500 cc engine in that "cold and fog and landslides and what not," and its in that moment you see the true character of the motorcycle, them viberations that quirkyness, its feels like its kinda alive, it kinda feels like the bike is telling you,...... "Nuts!, we will take this head-on!" and then you have that smile on your face, in those kinds of adversities against you. Mate, nothing like it. Places to reach where there are few to non-maintenance shops or little to no help, heck, when you are on the 500, you are the help! Simple. Seriously ;}
I own a 500 classic army green with sidecar realy looks the part, like you said people approach me and ask 40s or is it a 50s model l have some fun with them and l have to admit to them its new they can not believe it l wish other companies follow royal enfields retro look. I am so sick of seeing the market compete with each other big two much hourse power same struggle and getting nowhere. Royal enfield offers unique riding unique looks a look from the past well done thanks for your video and thanks royal enfield.
I test rode a Classic 500. I absolutely love it for all the reasons you said. I really want one, before you can’t find them anymore
Man, I luved the fall tree colour when you did that quick right turn, nice one.
Your enthusiasm and energy when riding always makes me smile, your a pleasure to listen too.
I know what you mean about vintage feel. I’ve had a 1957 BSA B31 350 for 30 odd yrs now; God, how I’d luv to ride it on the brill roads you take us on near your home.
Thanx for entertaining us man and Lettin us ride with ya.
Ride safe
Neil.
Good day Mr Ronin thanks for the great videos. I live in the UK and have a meteor 350. Just got my licence and my wife and I live this bike. You have made me see this bike for what it is and appreciate it even more every time you tLk about these bike. Keep up the great videos. And love the area you ride in looks great. Regards Martin
thank you martin.
An astonishing versatile machine. I love mine , riding since 2019 in Portugal and Spain, with minor problems; the worst one:- The fuel pump. Not a fast bike and it shows their limits in highways, but the torque at low revs is fabulous making it a proper offroader and easy commuter.
A few years ago I started motorcycling again. Ended up with an EVO sporty, but I first wanted a classic 500. First royal enfield I saw and I fell in love. Then the 535gt came out and as someone who’s cut up a few Hondas to make cafe bikes I was very into it. Once they stopped making them I lost my chance. Regardless I own a Himalayan now along with my Harley’s and I love it. May go KLR650 sooner than later just due to my needs, but I will never hate on RE after owning that little 411.
Hi , got a Himalayan because my bank account’s a bit like your and the himalayan comes stock standard with centre stand, bash plate and even front bars you can hang bags or extra tanks too, most other bikes that would all be hundreds of dollars of extras, mostly very happy with it. Few little niggles though had the carbon fuel recycle unit replaced under warrant, he n later totally isolated as it kept giving grief, and the side stand isolating switch kept playing up making it hard to start. Still a wee niggle with starting, have found the fuel tank tends to pressurise and gives a big hiss when you open the tank, which could be part of the starting problem, any idea what could be causing that or how to fix it?????? Any tips appreciated!
I will say it now, I want a Scram 500
Prob WON'T be a 500, but who really knows!
That will be something
great looking bike. appreciate the insights OMR. thanks.
Thank you for this fine video! I am awaiting a new coil for mine- only $32!! The wiring harness seems to be its main weakness, but not hard to fix either!
Saw one with the military boxy panniers in-back, years-ago. That looked really authentic. You'd need to wear a pistol belt with a canvas holster with either an Enfield or Webley revolver, a Mk I Dispatch Rider's Helmet, some gauntlets, and a pair of those bent-lens MkVlll goggles, so you can motor-past the Jerries, without so-much as blinking!
With your motorcycle background, you will love a proper Bullet, either 350 or the 500.
Blag a ride on a well sorted one.
Kickstart only,
Bolt on gearbox
Wet primary chaincase.
Wonderful bikes. Once sorted.
This bike is heartbeat of India, u can find it in every corner
Hi, if you could get a stainless steel pipe (about the same size as the handlebar pipe) - welded between the curve, it would reduce the vibration a alot. After that, you can cruse at 62 mph all day. No stress at all. (vibration is the real charm of royal enfield bikes, though. It gives you that raw experience.)
I have the 2014 desert strome. I had used different kinds of handlebars on mine. It did cost me some extra bucks but handlebars somehow didn't do well. One gave me some serious lower back pain. Then one day, I was riding my bike and this thought popped up in my head. I got the stainless steel pipe and had that welded at a local welder shop. This is really working. You gonna love it. If you are planning to keep this beauty with you, then you should try that idea. Love your work. 🙏
I get asked all the time "what year is that?" 😆 I absolutely adore my Classic 500.
If you like quirky just wait until you do a rear wheel service. There is more going on back there than the chain being on the "wrong" side. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
already have to check it out. Super simple
Hi Dennis - please refer my comment above on the pivot - cheers from yorkshire!
I wish that they kept putting kick starts on the new bikes.
Haven't needed it but I miss having one.
Only issue is EFI. Battery is dead no workie anyway because fuel pump
@@OlManRonin I wondered about that. Thanks
BIG mistake I think leaving the kickstart off the 350 Classic
@@JohnTanner61 So if the battery is dead what good is the kicker?
I have a Classic 500 (2018). I looked at that kickstart & though "do I really need that?" & considered removing it.
This summer, returning home from a weekend away, I stopped the bike on a remote hillside to check the map. Bike wouldn't restart on the button! Headlight permanently on + electric start & (it turned out) a duff battery = it won't go. Eventually I got it restarted with the kickstarter & got home.
15 km short of 60 000 mine got smashed at a crossroads. But I'll spend whatever it needs to get it fixed, that's how much I love it. (even the tricky agricultural gear box with it's many false neutrals). Found a spare one sold for parts, to share with a friend who owns the same model, 2013 euro3. A pity they will soon be banned from the LEZ where I live, so I just bought a barn in the Ardennes for it's old days.
I have a 2007 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 w/sidecar in military green with under 3000 miles. It’s the US military model. I’d consider selling.
email me olmanronin@gmail.com
I have two RE Classic 500s (and two Triumphs) I ride the REs everyday. So much fun. I rag them to the rev limiter in every gear and still get 90 mpg. I overtake more on these than my Triumphs just because you have to be so much more involved and plan more. Have to keep an eye on the speedo cos I keep hitting the limiter in third, just as im alongside the car😬 and lose foward momentum and have to snatch 4th😁. You have to add 30 minutes to any journey. Not because its slow (I criuse at 75/80mph) but because someone ALWAYS wants to talk to you🤣
perfect lol
OMR it doesn't just LOOK like a bike that came from the 40s and 50s it IS a motorcycle from the 40s and 50s. Those bikes on that mountain trail make our bikes in the West look like pampered garage queens. Great video, thanks!
New Subscriber in SW Ohio. Taking MSF and currently thinking INT650 at Throttle around April. Thanks for your channel. I hope to wave at you during a back road ride to Salt Fork SP for a "Sasquatch Mission Ride"
Welcome to the channel. Congratulations on your MSF and new bike. Cheers
Steve in central FL I own a 2014 c5 military bought it new simple to work on and a lot of fun to Ride, 8k miles still going strong.
Gotta ask though. What is Sasquatch Mission Ride?
Today I bought a one owner 2018 classic 500 with less than 3,000 miles. LOVE IT. Chug chug chug. Going to tour this summer.
The Classic 500/Bullet excells at not excelling at anything. That's why I LOVE MINE! 2018 Battle green Classic 500, chrome going away, black trim, tractor saddle, US Army WWII insignia...getting lots of looks on the road. Great channel! Keep it going.
I'm on my second, a low miles 2017 chrome version and it'll probably be a keeper. I've a Himmy for all year, all roads riding (as well as a few other bikes) and foresee one of the 350s being added at some stage but theyll probably come and go as new models do and the 500 will stay.
Bought a classic 500 two weeks ago. I just love the simplicity. I'm in Capetown South Africa.
proud owner of classic 500 redditch i am 26 riding with free flow exhaust halfh faced helmet with aviators on is all i need for weekends that chopper sound . .. is a therapy ... nothing more and less required ...🇮🇳
Agreed and welcome to the channel my friend
If you add up all the costs of the Enfields they probably come to one Harley. I love my iron 883 but I could afford to get two Enfields for the same price
I get it RE had a lot to offer
I just acquired a 2022 RE INTERCEPTOR with 2300 miles loaded with extras minty condition here in Florida $3999 US dollars
I did search for several months and almost bought the 500 myself as it was an easy rider and reminded me of bike back in the 60s when I started riding in S Wales
So if your looking for a 650 at the right price be prepared to search far an wide for a garage queen as they are out there
Good luck and thanks for the vlog
As the Irish would say `you couldnt kill it with a stick`
a wise biker said about riding ANY bike - `its the way it makes you FEEL` there is no other criterion!
I have a riding history similar to yours - we are about the same age, and this bike (i have a 2014 c4 500)
makes me feel great, I really want to ride it almost every day. (I did over 5000 miles last year, none of it commuting as i am retired now) I threw some camping gear on it and went to the classic isle of man TT, and I loved every minute, she never missed a beat. `if its not broke - dont fix it`
ps I know you will, but please run her in properly, these engines really need it done right.
pps - the rear drum brake pivot is self-centralising, ensure the pivot backing plate is free to slide as they are usually painted over and dont move like they should (you do like quirky dont you ;)
Entertaining as always. I had two of these, I loved it & I hated it! What I loved was the old fashioned simplicity & laid back performance, what I especially hated was the prehistoric clutch, man - if you forgot to warm the thing up before pressing the gear lever down, you almost launched into space! Sort it, RE, so it would add a bit to the price but would be so well worth it. Also, I didn't like the wire wheels, great to look at as they were, too easy to punture the tube.
Having said that, the bike was just great for slow cruising.
Wish I could come down firmly on one side or the other, you described it well, Ol Man, 'quirky' as hell!
The current RE Classic 350 launched in 2020 has every part changed. It has brand new engine and chassis now. All of the old problems are gone.
That's why I have 3 of these 🤦🏼♂️ can't ride any other motorcycles after this royal enfield 500ccs 🤦🏼♂️
Thats Awesome
Just got an '08 500 Bullet. Indian Utuber gave it to my son because it wouldnt start. Turned out he had NGK BPR-9ES in it...installed a 6 ES as specified, now starts 1st kick. Runs nicely and sounds like bolts in a blender.😊 My 100hp custom HD nighster, is jealous.
I pick up a 2015 just like that in 10 days. Can’t wait.
I have 500 trials. Love the feel. Also new classic 350 which is generally a better bike but I do prefer the 500 . Just bought a 75 bm r60 which is a heavy flywheel motor like a bullet. Love that too. 👍
I have your exact RE in green in my garage right now. I bought it over the phone from Kathmandu Nepal as my ride across Nepal on a RE Classic came to an end. I didn't want to lose my connection to that brand/bike. I even put genuine Nepalese prayer flags on it just like in the clip at 12:24.
Moto Java in San Francisco has a 2018 bullet 500 in black. I love my 2021 Meteor in stellar red I bought in may of 2022. I have 5300 miles trouble free. get 70mpg on crapy California gas, saddle bags and large windshield. crash bars. perfect for the nor-cal wine country Napa and Sonoma Countys. cant wait for the super metor 650
RE will soon relaunch Classic 500. But enthusiasts in India says it'll be more expensive. Classic is a work horse in India, it can pretty much do everything with little bit of customisation, it shouldn't go in niche category.
Hit the nail on the head with everything you said.
Got classic chrome lov it
Ditched the stock coil ,leads and plug for quality after market ones and so much less vibration will Cruz at 60 mph and you can see what’s behind instead of spaghetti in the mirrors.
Only 324 miles? It isn’t even broken in yet. Congrats on the find.
I know right! Thank you
exactly the same as mine, though mine is in Scotland and really likes the mountain and coastal roads. Its just a relaxing time on it.
I really should do a vid about why I love my 1959 Bullet 350 modernized and upconverted to 500 in India. New stuff sounds OK, but having a constant pain in the ass around really makes it a classic.
Isn't nice you can ride on Watson Rd without worrying about dropping into the pothole of abyss. 😝
lol
Man that’s a beautiful bike. How does it compare to the 350 as far as power and fun factor. Oh and yes I wish I lived in that side of the country. Motorcycle riding looks so much more appealing there that it does in the dirty Southwest.
the 350 is smoother. The 500 has a bit more top end. Other than that very similar, WHICH is what REs intentions are
Have you heard anything about a classic 650? I feel that for the fast open roads of AZ, the 650 would be better.
@@hiddenmortimer5189 no sorry nothing on a bigger classic
Of all the bikes I've owned my c5 gives me the most smiles. Cant go out anywhere without having a twenty minute conversation with someone. Enfield appear to make old men misty eyed and old women moist.😉
Ol' Man Ronin passed away few months ago. May he rest in peace!
Upcoming Royal Enfield Bikes:
Super Meteor 650
Himalayan 450
Shotgun 650
I love riding my various 2:50 BSA singles around. They are such good slow road motorcycles. I have the Enduro version but the street bikes are so light you could take them off-road without any worries within reason. I love my BSA Enduro bike on the sand trails north of my home in Florida and all the guys with the water cooled wonders and their ridiculous amounts of horsepower can't understand how I can keep up with them with such a slow old motorcycle. I laugh and I tell them I'll wave at you as a peel you off a tree that you hit at a hundred miles an hour. As for chain maintenance you guys are lucky you don't have to disassemble the clutch and the primary chain in order to put a new front sprocket on, but all the British motorcycles outside of vilaset were built the same way and so that taught you how to service your own motorcycle. I am bemused by people who will not even change their oil on their motorcycle because they don't want to get their fingers dirty they might ruin their mani pedi and have to take a shower with body wash. Hahaha!
We want
I got the chance to ride an Interceptor 650, it's nice....I think you'll love it. Central Ohio is gorgeous riding, if you love farmland riding this is the place......just watch for horse poop in the road..LOL!
Watch my INT 650 and GT 650 videos!!
My Classic 500 2020 RE has just turned 12,000 Kms , now on my third rear tyre.
Almost had a classic 500 but the dealer wouldn't sell
Totally agree with everything you say about you're bike
I have a B5 euro 4 standard bullit2020 reg would never part with it just love it who cares about the vibes it comes with the bike.tried the Classic 350 there like day and night so smooth but doesn't feel like your riding a proper bike nice bike though think the 350 would be more reliable but would never part with my bullit.
By the way love your videos keep them coming
I actually live in Scotland some of the best rides you will ever see.
They aren't just motorcycles they are also works of art in paint rubber steel and aluminium.
RIP SIR
I have a classic 500 c5 military green RE it is my favorite motorcycle. I love the look and the feel of the motorcycle its definitely a deferent ride. I don't think I will ever get rid of it and when I die an old man the bikes is coming with me 😁 great video👍
Just been offered one .......so so tempted!
Lovely looking roads👍🏼
I like the standard bullet 500cc, they don't make them anymore.😪
nope they do not
Is the Hunter350 really coming to the US market ? There are too many bikes that I would seriously purchase , if only they were available here . Frustrating . But IS the Hunter gonna be here ? Thanks !
only time will tell Lisa.
Yep you found the reason cause I ain’t taking my Triumph Streetmaster there.😜
I'm hankering a Royal Enfield. I'm thinking of getting a UCE 350 classic. How has the 500 been for reliability?
Hi great material very nice mounted ;)
thank you
Boss Ronin I'm in the market looking for a Royal Enfield as my first motorcycle and Im having hard time to choose between the classic 500 squadron blue 2016 that my friend is selling to me or the new classic 350 and Meteor . Your Videos are Amazing and refreshing to watch this how motorcycle reviews are meant to be .
Ride them all and see which makes you smile the most
@@OlManRonin appreciate the reply Sir Ronin , Im a big fan of you and your work . And I will follow your Advice
By the 500 classic it will do everything the 350 will do plus not be so pushed when you go run it at higher speeds plus you will love having to have the kickstarter as well as the electric start because they are a low compression 500 single and they are not hard to start with the kicker. Plus you could impress all your friends while they push their pussy buttons to start their motorcycles.
Hi Rena I think a lot of RE owners have the same problem trying to decide which model to get (because I’ve noticed a lot of them just buy all of them) 😂🤣
Royal Enfield Classic 350 for the win!
Ride Safe 🙏🏼
I have the spare key and paperwork for that bike. I will get it to the guy who sold it to you so he can send it along. Great bike, only rode it a few times. I had kids and never had time.
Despite 650s and the himalayan/scram afterwards, there's nothing that can match the nostalgia factor and the character of classic 500.
I put a low rider seat on my two makes you feel much more part of the bike rather than sitting on top of it
Riding a Bullet is like a girlfriend, when asked to go, she doesnt immediately go, when asked to stop, she doesnt immediately stop😊
So, are you saying it’s quirky? I loved the Indian footage. I suggest the movie documentary One Crazy Ride. It was made several years ago when some folks went off the map in India.
Be interested to see if Enfield release an updated Bullet at some point.
How is the sizing of that macna jacket? I'm looking at buying on online. I'm 6f 2, 92kg. What size would fit?
highly endorse it
Classic 500cc UCE or 350cc J-Platform Enfield. What would you pick?
RE 500 vs RE 350 classic (news) which one buy?
Very nice bike.
Try BULLET
New ha kya classic 500 restoration hogeya kya???
goodness so how many RE do you have, and which is your go to bike of them
I have 3 at the moment. And I try and ride all 3 the same
If you had to have one bike and could choose between classic 500 and new 350, which one would you go for?
Any idea why Enfield fit a smaller headlight for the US market?
Not at sir. I do know a lot od dealers replaced them with larger.
why why why?!😅
I drove a 500 BATTLE GREEN for 2.5 years, 19,800 km
Unfortunately, the vibration destroys everything ... all!
frame a tube instead of a double tube frame
and the bad elektronic cables are for the ass
I've now bought a 350 reborn and driven 5800 km on it
everything that went wrong with the 500 was done right with the 350 reborn, nobody wants the 500 anymore, although I find it nicer than the 350 classic reborn.
the 350 has 20hp the 500 has 27hp the 350 runs much better.
I have been riding my 2018 Classic 500 for 18500 km by now and I haven't had any problems whatsoever with the bike. It just runs and runs...
I have one stealth black ⚫
The Bullet, Classic and even the Meteor can handle the rough stuff. Ditch the Himalayan.🙂
why? Because?
@@OlManRonin The Classic will give you old style off roading just like grandaddy did. You don't need one of those new fangled "adventure" bikes when the British and Indian armies proved the Bullet and Classics off road ability. (Note: my tongue is firmly in my cheek :-))
@@colinhailey830 the idea of your ditch comment isn't the best way to have a conversation. We all love what we love, which is why I never bash any brand.
@@OlManRonin Sorry I was trying to be humorous. Apologies. Would never bash RE, my knowledge of them goes back to the 1950s in the UK and have ridden them in the rough and smooth so know what the old Bullets are capable of.
Plenty of chemtrailing in those skies,...wouldn't ride in that poisoned air
i have a suggestion for you
swap out the grips and put on the himalayan ones in there
its an inexpensive mod but it makes a huge difference
coz the stock ones are just useless
and you shouldn't have put on heel toe shifter coz that engine gives a lot of false neutrals
Not with heel toe brother works so much better
I have a heel toe shifter on my Classic 500. Never had a false neutral with it. Best mod I've done to the bike.
@@FATBOY692011 truth
@@OlManRonin I agree.
👌👌❤❤👍👍
Why did those chickens cross the road? ;)
To get people to make gratuitous chicken comments :)
don't buy hunter bro, it doesn't even feel like Royal Enfield.
RE 500's are honestly just rubbish. Snail slow in 21st century..... Really? 🤔
Crazy!....just bought a classic 500 from motoitalia edwardsville ill.....waiting for arrival.....want the kickstarter
Ol' Man Ronin passed away few months ago. May he rest in peace!
