Oh! So what if Harleys can tear the Indian roads why cant the Royal Enfield Classic Chrome and the 500 Black Bullet do in US come April?

Royal Enfield 500 Classic Chrome looks a shiny stuff and the single saddle makes lone bikers fall in love at the first glance and would feature in every man's gotta-ride-this-bike-for-once list. This ain't kidding. The Classic Chrome 500 brings back a style and design back from the golden era of motorcycles, looks like seriously you see.

The naked bike comes with a prominent kick start lever and kind of looks like it shares some of the C5 genes. The C5 though disappoints without the kick lever. Reportedly Royal Enfield brand enjoys good share in American market. *Pats your back* and if priced competitively the two beasts can have a decent success story to share later.

The second beast is the Royal Enfield Bullet 500 which foreshadows the Enfield Bullet 350. The Bullet 350 has been a bike that has constant demand on untamed roads in India and the scene has been same for over 50 years now.

According to the CEO of Royal Enfield Venki Padmanabhan the future looks bright for larger displacement version of the bike.

There are rumors of 750cc and 1000cc engines from the company but the company has not commented anything on that. There are also rumors that these will be built on V Twin with multi fuel concept. If that is realized bet our home bike will pull more youngsters to it than what Harley can do.

Seems old is becoming new again
