IFRAME SYNC

The Super Meteor 650 made its India debut at the recently concluded Rider Mania 2022 in Goa, Royal Enfield’s annual motorcycle event. But not many people know that another motorcycle has appeared in the event and already has fans all over the country. The bike in question is the Royal Enfield Classic 500, which is making a special return as a limited-edition offering. Now, before you head to your nearest RE dealer to pre-order, one small question. While this Classic 500 is the real deal, you can’t actually ride it because it’s a 1:3 scale model of the original.
