2010 Royal Enfield Bullet Classic C5 Review
Vintage-styled motorcycles are becoming a growing segment in the industry; very few manufacturers have a history as rich as Royal Enfield to tap in to.
The Bullet Classic C5 easily catches people's attention and moves pretty quickly with the EFI 499cc air cooled engine attached to a 5-speed transmission.
The bike captures the style and feel of a bygone era with its fender plate, beefy seat springs and classic logos. It is truly the best of both worlds when it comes down to vintage-styled motorcycles.
The classic styling of the Royal Enfield brings back the charm of the 1950s coupled with a handful of modern upgrades.
Despite how it looks, the suspension handles much like any modern street bike. It flows well through corners at just about any speed.

For an old-school 500, the new RE Royal Classic is a very trim combination of classic looks and modern-day technology. A tight, clean, vintage-style package.
The air filter and tool kit are also neatly integrated into the frame and do not restrict leg movement.
The single saddle seat with dual springs underneath is surprisingly comfortable.

The engine is potent enough, the bike handles well and the overall vintage package is very cool looking.

The simple classic gauges are easy to read. We only wish it had a proper fuel gauge rather than a simple reserve warning light.
