ROYAL ENFIELD CLASSIC 350CC VS 500CC

ROYAL ENFIELD CLASSIC 350CC VS 500

The  two  models of Royal Enfield motorcycles are Royal Enfield Classic 350cc and 500cc which have been in production since 2009. Both  Classic 350 and 500 features the new unit construction engine in their variation respectively .However ,the Classic 350 uses air-filter for fuel delivery and  500 has electronic fuel injection. 

                                   The Classic 350 has voltmeter and  Classic 500 has a low fuel indicator light and also engine check light instead of the voltmeter. The voltmeter on the Royal Enfield  Classic 350cc  is more endure  as the modern Classic 350 has no practical use for it. In the older models with CB points when the cylinder  was in the top dead centre then the voltmeter would stay in the middle. This feature allowed the rider to use the restful lever to move the cylinder to top dead centre and kick starter with relative facility. Both the models are costly and targeted at a market segment above the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 and  500.The Classic 350 and 500 come in a variety of colour options including Stealth Black ,Battle Green and Gunmetal Grey.
