I highly recommend every one to purchase this motorcycle Standard 500, Best part is its powerful with a 500cc engine and its very authentic and you feel the pride to ride this sheer magnificent motorcycle, Its really sturdy and very very strong, I bumped into other vehicles 2-3 times but the motorcycle never got damaged, not even a single scratch, trust me the vehicle that I bumped got damaged badly, The maintenance is really easy on this bike, Please dont buy the 350cc standard as it has no self start and looks cheap and small, Go ahed and book this bike, U will not regret your decision, I am using this from past 6 months and the feel is really really awesome, I dont even get stopped by cops at nakabandi even when I ride with out the helmet, it makes me look like some one very influential haha, I love this bike, and I dont regret buying this, this is my 4th royal enfield ive used classic 500 but its crap because of fuel pump that gets spoilt every year, ive used electra but its very basic and common, ive used thunder bird but its not really an enfield, Guys dont think to much just book it before the price goes up, when I had booked it I paid 1.84l and not its 2l+ every year they increase the price of this bike as its worth every single penny, The mileage that I get is 36kmpl which is better than an unicorn or pulsar
