I own a new 500 EFI classic which is great fun to ride. no problems or breakdowns. the engine is redesigned and updated so I doubt i have to expect more trouble than anyone else.
do a testride at your local dealer and you´ll fall in love

Been riding a new Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark for almost a year, no breakdowns, no issues, no fuss. Yeah, it could be better, but there certainly is improvement from RE people. Hope they realize it’s time for more innovation in India’s most popular touring bike.

Ah guys, old Suzies would spoil the fun! A few years back I took an Enfield 500 over the classic once-in-a-lifetime route over the Indian Himalayas. From Delhi, north into Ladakh, crossing passes as high as 5600m. The bike broke down 3 times in 3 weeks. At those times I confess to have prayed for a GS or XT500, but looking back I wouldn't want to do it on any other bike. Here's a photoset.

Maybe that’s why it’s called the “Challenge”?

As cool as the old-school Enfields look, I’ve heard from a few Indians that the modern Enfields found in India today are of absolute garbage build quality. Give a guy an old Suzuki GS ratbike and he’ll outlast the rest of the field.
