I recently had a RE 500cc C5 for two months in India. Superb machine. In fact, I would like to have one here in the States. However, reliability is important to me. Have there been any write-ups in trusted publications for long-term reliability?

How interesting to hear all the comments that this is a “Brit Bike”. Yes, the original Enfields were British but didn’t the British factory die a long time ago? How can anyone claim that this new machine with a completely new engine fitted with fuel injection is anything other than what it is…Indian.

The Indian people love them, continued them and now have developed them when most people in Britain (bar the enthusiasts) don’t even know what they are. Ask anyone in India have they heard of Royal Enfield and to a man, the answer will be yes.

Hi, I would like to know if anyone here bought the new Bullet Classic C5 from 2009, and what you think about it.
Today I used one and loved it but Im not an expert… so I would like to know what you think of it before I spend a fortune (here in argentina is around 8000 USD).
Thanks a lot for your help

I stay in India and just booked a 500 Classic yesterday… It comes with both a kick and the electric start. US $3000 OTR . Delivery in a week if I am lucky, normal delivery time 45 days.

The bike sounds great or maybe I have got used to the rattle of my BMW F650.
