Fast forward to today, the Classic remains the bestseller of the crop of Royal Enfield’s 500cc bikes.

Purists and aficionados of the company firmly believe that the Classic is the last of the glorious nostalgic motorcycles currently on sale. It possesses no modern technology and gadgetry. Yet it wears such a timeless design that there is simply no need to redesign the model.
