Royal Enfield has announced an online sale of 15 limited-edition Stealth Black Classic 500 motorcycles that were part of National Security Guards’ motorcycle expedition ‘Fight Against Terror’ in September 2017. In step one, the user registrations for these motorcycles have begun as of December 8, 2017. Upon registration, users will get a unique identification code which can then be used on December 13, 2017 (along with a GST-inclusive booking amount of 15,000) to try their luck in buying the motorcycle. They will be priced at Rs 1.90 lakh (ex-showroom), each.
These motorcycles will be decorated with a unique NSG insignia and the entire proceeds from the sale of these 15 motorcycles will go to Prerna – a not-for-profit initiative supported by NSG for differently-abled children. The Classic 500s on sale were part of NSG's 40-day motorcycle expedition in which the Black Cat NSG Commandos covered over 8,000km, across India. They did this to spread the message of citizens' awareness of their collective responsibility toward fighting terror.

Powering it will be the same 499cc single-cylinder engine that makes 27.2hp and 41.3Nm of peak torque, mated to a five-speed transmission.
