The Classic 500 has long been the quintessential tribute to the history of Anglo-Indian motorcycling that powered Royal Enfield into their second century of production.
Thus it is befitting that to signal the end of its production, a limited-edition Classic 500 Tribute Black special signs off this chapter, as Royal Enfield embarks on a new more modern volume of work as they enter their 120th year of production.
While the modern winds of change are blowing, Royal Enfield remain dedicated to offer some of the most accessible platforms in motorcycling while increasing their footprint around the world with an increasing focus on customisation.
Here in Australia Royal Enfield sales are increasing strongly and importers Urban Moto are reporting 50 per cent growth year on year and claim a top-five position in the mid-capacity segment of the Australian market. It is this mid-capacity market that the brand is overwhelmingly focussed on for the future.
The limited-edition Classic 500 Tribute Black is expected to arrive late this month, June 2021. 200 will be available in Australia and 40 in New Zealand.
Pricing has been set at $8390 +ORC which translates to $9590 Ride Away for those not just tucking one up away in the shed. NZ pricing is $9690 +ORC.
A two-year warranty and roadside assistance program is provided to all Royal Enfield customers across AU/NZ.
