Royal Enfield Confirms Classic Chrome 500 Bullet

Royal Enfield Classic Chrome 500
Indian Bike manufacturer Royal Enfield has confirmed that it would be launching a new motorcycle, the Classic Chrome 500 in India soon. The company has not declared the exact date on which the Classic Chrome 500 will be launched.

The Classic Chrome 500 is a stylised version of the available Classic 500. The new bike was first unveiled at the 2010Auto Expo and Indian motorists were waiting with bated breath for the Chrome 500 to reach the market. The Chrome 500 has already been launched in Europe and the USA.

Royal Enfield fans had earlier complained that the Classic 500 looked smaller than its counter parts such as the Electra and the Machismo. The addition of chrome to the 500 will definitely make the motorcycle look more stately.

The Royal Enfield Classic 500 has the same 500cc engine as found in the Classic 500. The engine is capable of generating 27.2bhp and 41.3bhp of torque. The engine will be mated with a five speed manual transmission.

The Classic Chrome 500 from Royal Enfield as the name suggest gets loads of chrome on its body. The fuel tank, air box, front mud guard as well as the rear mud guard are all finished in chrome. The chrome finish will definitely add to the looks of the bike. While the export version are equipped with 18-inch wheels, the Indian version will get 19-inch wheels for better stability at high speeds.
