Royal Enfield Classic 500: The One Bike That Never Gave A Sh*t 

Dug dug dug dug du du dugg dugg dug dug duuu

I know a kickstarter is old school and all. But honestly, there's no greater pleasure than a powerful action from your end which makes the engine come to life. Really makes you connect more with the machine.

Re is like having an angry girlfriend with many issues like reliability, vibrations avg. Breaking etc but you still love it It's just a feeling which you can't have from any other brand

For those of us in the United States, the lane usage in this video is mind-boggling. And yes, I love my classic 500. Respect.

You know you've fallen in love with an enfield when you don't want anything. No trip meter, no fuel meter, no gear shift indicator. It's got nothing. But it's got everything to make you fall in love with motorcycles. A thumper under you and a big smile on your face.

Dude I love how you have found your own style and evolved into such a great narrator. I truly enjoy your videos -no pretense , just genuine motorcycling goodness on your channel. All the best!

OMG i cant believe it ..i just spent 25 mins watching this dude explaining royal enfield and didnt even realise it was 25 mins haha good one !!

Hyundai & Others: We offer massage seat in cars. RE: Hold my 🍺!

Watching this reminds me of reasons why i brought my bullet 500 😄😄. Done 45000 kms in 4years still puts a smile on my face everytime i ride it.

Everyone:meteor 350 Abhinav:let me show you clasic 500❣

My bad fortune is that I test rode it, fell in love with it, waited for abs version to come out, then waited for bs6 version, then the motorcycle stopped in production. Shouldn't have waited.... It's like that first love which you wait for too long to propose because you feel something lacking

Best classic 500 review I have ever seen.... It's not a review it's a feel which every classic 500 owner's feel.... I'm proud that even I own classic 500...

Mama ji : abhi woh zara showroom se meri meteor le aana Abhi : " Hamari Meteor "

You are one the most sensible riders I've come across , who knows what to compare and what not to , emotions connected to the bike and soo on.... Cheers Man ! I hope to ride along with you sometime !

In the first 30 seconds you really hit the nail on the head. “ it really doesn’t compete with anything “. You really can’t compare the Classic 500 to anything else. But you can’t really say there’s nothing fancy on it. The Classic 500 is a work of art, it’s the feeling it gives you when you look at it, when you twist the throttle it just says,” let’s go explore, I’ll get you there”. I have a Bullet 500 Trials and I absolutely love it. I would own multiple 500,s if I could. They truly are “timeless”.

Such a simple machine . It does the job it's meant to do...

I have this for the last 5 years and this machine is total badass when you ride it with a single seat on!

Without all those engine noises that looks like a properly maintained bike 🔥

When you are built a bit big than most of the people. Everyone - Royal enfield lelo tumpar accaha lage ga.

I remember , it was night and it was raining heavily, I drove through an area where the water level was above my silencer, but this bike didn't give a damn, it kept pulling all through one and half km for that water level, at that moment I looked at it's headlight, I felt like sitting on a locomotive that was pulling the more you throttle. It's an unending joy to ride on it. Yeah it has its own cons, I spend extra even now to maintain it, but still, once it is on road, it is just majestic. I own stealth black 500cc.

So refreshing the see someone do genuine reviews of old (relatively) bikes. And only a person who loves riding could do it. Great video man

According to me this is the best ride review of the classic 500 ever made by anyone around the world. Not exaggerated. I truly mean it. If you can decode the emotions involved while riding it. This is actually the best vlog ever.

Really a classic 🔥❤️. I wish Yamaha relaunches their RD350 with the modern touches...

It's the thump it makes you fall in love and that mountain moving torque, this bike has a soul who cares about refinement go buy a Japanese bike then. It's not for everyone I know but out of all the bikes I have ridden the character and soul of the classic 500 and Yamaha rx100 is just unmatched.

I am no bike enthusiast but after watching all these videos I really connect with you Mann.. Thank you so much for not adding any kind of music and let us enjoy pure raw content and feel. Genuinely appreciating everything about all your videos.

10:27 it doesn't give a Damn. Doodhwala on the splendor infront of you Jumps the Traffic Light. 🚦and he says "Neither do I"😁

You beautifully expressed the feeling one would get while riding this motorcycle. I myself am a proud owner of a Classic 500 dessert storm and have ridden more than 13000 kms in hills of Meghalaya itself... ❤️

My friend , it feels to me with all this nostalgia, u are getting old and realizing it.

Man i love when someone respect the Characteristics of the Classic RE's.... Subscribed

I drove RE 350 once. Instantly the big pros and cons came to my mind. But now its 3 years, still that is embedded in my mind. So definitely RE is something that gets into your memories. Thus people love to ride and own it.

Got my proper first bike as a CL350 and missed getting the CL500 instead, but still love the bike the same since day one. Love the toque, the long stroke engine, and the character with the bike. No fancy stuff, not even a fuel gauge but it still teaches me to take care of bikes and experience bigger bikes with the same confidence today. The 500 is a true feeling man! ❤️

Definitely yes, they must bring back this legend.

The exact model was my first Royal Enfield bought in 2010 . Unfortunately sold it as parents couldn’t maintain in Goa ...as I am in UK 🇬🇧... had good memories 👍

Don't let your presumptions on a 350 make you judge a 500. I miss my DS 500. The torque had always kept me grinning. It vibes like hell but charges to 100 kmph like a bull and after 115 it gasps for air.

whole youtube - the new meteor is so awesome & it is here. Abhinav - Classic 500 is bad yet lovable

I remember riding an old right gear shift. That one had real character. Sort of stood out of the crowd. When I rode the left side one. It felt like riding a pulsar. The linear spike in the acceleration was love at first sight. Well, emission norms are killing the character of every motorcycle.

Nice honest video, and you’ve captured the essence of the bike perfectly. I had a KTM 990 Adventure (1 litre V-twin) for 11 years from new. It was remapped and had Akrapovic cans fitted, so 4-5 times the power of the Classic 500. But no matter! I started riding bikes in 2006 when I lived in India, with a Bullet. My next bike was a BMWR1200GS after a move to Qatar, then shipping it home to the U.K. Next came the KTM and it saw proper use as a dual sport tourer, the best of its class. I always had a wish to get back to Enfield sometime and finally traded my KTM for a 2021 Classic 500 over a month ago. Since then I’ve put 1200 miles on it. It puts a big smile on my face every time I ride it. When a fast bike rips past me I just smile and chug on, never missing the speed. Every day I walk past my Land Rover Discovery and choose the Enfield to commute country roads to work, in fact I look forward to my commute on the Enfield. As for it not being a tourer, you’re only partly correct. It depends on where you set your expectations. I’ve covered over 1000kms in a day across Europe on the KTM but I’ve also done Kolkata - Darjeeling in a single day, and Kolkata - Varanasi in one day by Bullet!

I have a Thunderbird 350, 14 and a half years old, the oldest school ever, and still I am proud to own that.

I m a desert storm 500 efi owner 2015 model year u juat spoke my heart dude that bike is my first love i almost started crying 🥺🥺🥺🥺 for a year i havent tour on it i just made the plan solo ride to lonavala as i stay in mumbai 🥺🥺🥺 mannn u just spoke each n every word as perfect as i will describe about it ❤️ that bike is THE LEGEND N LOVE of my life❤️ i have covered 1lakh 59k on it i started it riding at the age of 17 now i m 22❣️

I agree with you completely. I’ve had my 500 for a year and a half, and absolutely love it. I have a modern powerful bike, but something about the Classic draws me to it whenever I’m riding for fun. Great video 👌🏼

It's 4 in the morning and was thinking about bullet 500 ur video made this night better man. I'm gonna get this piece of heart and stay like this brother raw, authentic & a man of character.

I have been seeing your videos for a month now, never i felt like subscribing. Its 4.15 in the morning and you have won a subscriber. You are one of the few people who have understood this motorcycle

A true classic.. I was very fortunate at the age of 18 years to have owned a 1968 army owned used 350cc bike.. That bike taught me so much indeed.. How to take care of your bike.

Damn...my phone started vibrating when you cranked up the engine😳

Lucky man, you have found the soul of a very special and nostalgic bike and you are only 34.. I hope you will get one of your own whilst good ones are still to be bought. and keep it for the rest of your life and like me riding one at over 70. A great video thanks

You're voice is soothing man! Loved the POV!

ur best comment in the video which was funny.."the highness can do it all but no character(till here it was fine...and after that...pointing at classic)...this bike can do nothing"😂😂 laughed at that point😂😂

What a wholesome video, i appreciate the fact you talk about the feel of it and not just numbers. And yes I do ve my conformational biasis because I too ve a 500 with carb! Bliss! 😅

Hands down best review of classic 500 i had seen ever🙌🏼🙌🏼 eternal classic,thank you abhinav👍🏼

Everything on it doesn't make sense... but still it makes sense... It's a Classic.... I have a 1991 CI RE 500...forest green.... It's an awesome bike....a legend in itself... Love my RE 500... Glad to see you love this classic...

Love the way he used kick while starting that masterpiece ... Still miss it tho😔

Exactly ❤️ These Are Time Machines That Rides Slow, Gives The Tik Tik Sounds Of Tappets, Vibrates When The Throttle Is Wide Open & Gives That Satisfying Exhaust Note

The one mistake royal enfield made: Making these beautiful motorcycles available for everyone.

I had a RE Classic 350 2011 December model, changed the exhaust to the RE upswept one. While on rides, I used to purposely ride it to 90-95 and tolerate the damn vibrations and rev down just to feel the smoothness and cruising at 75 :D And you just summed it up in this vlog Nice video man!

I am a Proud owner of this unique machine... that’s the same way I feel when I am on the bike... mind muscle connection, In a mediative mood ... give a damn To the whole world.

Wow your words makes me feel that what a great experice you have Abhi.. That's why we don't get bored to watch your vlogs.. First youtuber whose 30mints videos are getting complete watch time... 😍 meteor meteor soon

Can't believe there's so much hate today for these kind of motorcycles, I think RE takes more hate than anyone else due to some beta males complaining of its machoness, I mean it's a military bike which was originally designed for the tough guys in the military, not for racing. Its like a suit, it's old fashion but still looks way better and classy than any other outfit and reflects maturity, it's the same with motorcycles. There's a difference in how you look when you are wearing slides vs when you are wearing oxford shoes. It reflects certain personality type because of the fact they made certain choice. Most idiots in our generation have no clue about real style. In our generation you go out and do chest thumping and say I'm a man and people will start complaining but some random person just comes out and say I'm gay, the same people will applaud and say you're so strong, you're so brave and so on.

I was like you. I hated RE because of 350, but the day when i rode my friend's RE Classic 500, i fell love with it. Later then I've driven one of my friend's bullet 500 bs6, it was so comfortable. 0-80 kms is a SMOOTH peice of cake, it's not about speed, it's the comfort. The low end torque is really good, it has a different feel and can't be compared. As i clocked so many kms in the ktm 200, riding the ktm and bullet500 was like driving Polo tsi and Old innova. One is aggressive and another one is about comfort. . I wish to buy one used Re500 for my father after getting the salary.

Kick starting a motorcycle in 2020 is loveeee

RE isn't about the numbers or any hi_fi tech it's all and all about the feels .. Riding RE has its own charm..❤️

The vibs go down a bit when you ride with a pillion or luggage! The extra weight infact stabilizes the bike at relatively higher speeds as well..

I bought it last year and I'm not disappointed. When you ride around everyone look at you and your bike, cool af lmao. Hi from Thailand tho.

This put a big smile on my face.*RE fanboy alert* Haha. Great stuff man. Your videos just keeps surprising us. Also, absolutely agree with you on the fact that the vibes get to you, but trust me once you get to something more refined, this vibey character is the only thing you want back. All the very best for future content. Cheers!

Looking forward for your royal enfield Meteor bhaiya😀❤️❤️

By seeing ur nature i can say uh bhaiya....so Aap mujhe plzz bataiye ki mere stealth black 500 ka fuel pump kese save rkh skte hai mera break ho chuk hai ek baar ?

Awesome 👌 liked the way u described. I was wondering from long time what mic do u use for that crisp audio from helmet !?

Rename the video title to: The passion of riding.

Bro, eagerly waiting for your comprehensive 'Hness' Vs 'Meteor' review, before a final decision. Pls thrust on that 'Achilles heal' factor discussed earlier..

You should have this bike and go on long rides with it , loved the commentary ❤️🔥

Good to see you on RE 500. You keep saying it vibrating all the time. I have no idea about 500 cc, but I own 350 cc bs6 truely saying each time when I ride my bike It feels like amazing. No vibration felt till 80-85 kmph. In just 35 days of ownership I have covered almost 2k km riding in weekends mostly. You cannot imagine I just wait when the weekend comes and willgo for long ride. I have dual channel glossy black and I really love it. If you have chance please ride bs6 350 cc dual channel ABS once and put your true riding review. We all RE lovers are waiting for that. Thank you.

I bet Abhinav sir's Mama ji has no idea how famous he already is....I mean we haven't even seen him but still for us he's the best mama ji in the world... A biker's dream Mamaji 😁

Bhai I have been religiously following your H'ness updates and have become a fan of your review style. Please make videos on Meteor 350.

i was in grade 8th when by cousin wanted bullet. and i was so furious cuz i was in love with Honda cbz .. but he bought bullet he was in Bcom... but let me tell u something.. the moment i drove bullet.i was in love with the the bike. yes i was in grade 8th .. and by grade 11 i was the only guy in jalandhar who had bullet in my school. and i was so proud of it and rode it like a king.. yes i flunked in grade 11 and switched to commerce in grade 12...just a small story from jalandhar and i am talking about early 2000 era

I don't know whether any other RU-vidr explained Royal Enfield with such passion and beautiful words...❤️❤️

I too own same chrome 500.. It's Just love.. ♥️♥️

Enfield owner: "f**k superpowers I got an ENFIELD." Awesome video.🔥 25 mins of pure emotion. ❤️

Are these upswept exaust still available? When can I buy one??

Hi Abhinav! What camera and mic setup are you using for this video?

If you talk about the milage In my RE classic 500 delivers me 37 kmpl in highway And 30 to 32 in city (stock exhaust) And Don't talk about the torque man its like a truck😍😍😍👌 it's all about torque , it doesn't care if pillion with luggage it pulls like never mind 👌🐅

AB - "This Motorcycle it kinda stands out, it does not compete with anything" As a Classic 500 owner made me really proud ❤️😁 And youtube has very little quality content on the Classic 500, Thanks for putting up a wonderful glimpse of it 🔥

Abhinav, I Love the way you express your feelings. That's the vibes Machine creates to love it.

Motorcycling is all about the flow with which one rides and submerges into d scenery. RE classic was born for that. Beautiful review. ✌️

These are words of all the purists out of your mouth, I just love it exactly the way you defined.

Torque Monstaa 😍

Never read such a descriptive title before ! You sir , are a man of words 😂👍 plus I'm also the person who puts right foot down , everytime 🎉 I'm editing this the third time : After watching the review , I still remember that first time I rode that white classic 350 that belongs to my college batchmate and damn , I fell in love with it , I also rode another friend's thunderbird 500 and it was a different story on both of them , but I didn't had much experience in riding and crashed the thunderbird but continued the classic intermittently , it's sad to see that motorcycle collect dust in the parking these days ... I wish I can buy and start riding one but convincing parents to let me ride a motorcycle is a different story altogether , any word of advice would be appreciated in that ... Oh man the feel of the classic is something else , you don't wanna ride fast , you just wanna ride ❤️

I would love to own a Royal Enfield 500 one day. The last of the classic motorcycles!!! Thanks for sharing with us!!

Hey Abhinav compair hyness vs meteor This is a must 😁

The product even the RE senior Mechanics say sell it as soon as possible 🤣🤣

I wish one day someone will speak such passionately about my good old RD 350, the one on my grandpa's house. I don't know... but , I never found something as passionate ,as beautiful, as close to the heart as the first bike I rode .

Your way of review is soon going to be the new benchmark.. Kudos

There is nothing much good about bullets. High maintenance, poor mileage , too much vibration, oil leaks etc. Fir bhi maza aata hai bullet chalane mein. I am riding my Thunderbird since last 17 years

I feel every word brother Abhinav. I own a forest green Standard 500. This motorcycle is pure joy to ride.

Really appreciate your genuine opinion and respect for such a great classic legendary masterpiece motorbike , I own the same for a decade, still so crazy about it and feels more precious than anything else I possess

Great content sir! its a joy to watch your videos!

Thank you for this video. From a proud owner of a standard 500 2019. “Something about this bike”❤

What a review! Such a shame you guys in India can't buy it anymore. I'm getting mine next saturday, one of the last batch delivered for europe. Cheers from France

Re 500 efi vs re 350(new)-which one to buy???

I own a classic 500 stealth black and I'm in love with this machine
