Like the Bullet Classic 350, the Royal Enfield Bullet Classic 500 is based on the Royal Enfield motorcycles of the 1940s and 50s, and with the exception of the indicators, it looks almost exactly as it did more than 50 years ago.
The Bullet Classic 500 is not much faster than the 350cc version, but it does offer considerably more torque, giving noticeably swifter acceleration and more tractable power. The 500cc features higher gearing than the 350 model to help give a higher cruising speed.
