Armed with a potent, fuel injected, 500cc engine and clothed in disarmingly appealing post-war styling, the Classic 500 promises to be the most coveted Royal Enfield in history.
It brings with it the 1950’s vintage charm and “Retro Bullet feel”. Yet it has many newer features like a powerful (27 bhp) electronic fuel injection engine, electric start, front disk brake & electronic ignition. Weighing 187 KG (dry) it’s robustness makes it an ideal Motorcycle for touring conditions in South Africa.
My Royal Enfield Tour was an adventure from start to finish! Not really knowing what to expect we had a week of startling contrasts! Throughout which the Royal Enfields were brilliant and never missed a beat.
The 2016 tour far exceeded my expectation. The Royal Enfield is more than capable to handle anything that is thrown at it, even some parts that should be strictly Enduro territory. Don’t worry about the gravel roads, the Enfield eats them up.
If you are into bikes, travel and great company then this trip is for you.
I spent a fantastic week in a beautiful country, being challenged in my riding skills in a safe and supported environment with great hosts and guides.

To reach these places we have to travel on dirt and gravel roads. Eighty percent of our tours will be on these types of roads.
It is therefore advisable, but not essential, that you have experience of and are comfortable on these surfaces.
Novice riders should only travel with us if it is on a bespoke tour, in which case we can alter the route to suit.
