no.  sold it off in year 2000.
basically it's the same body as 535, just smaller engine, different signal lights, different rear lights, nicer looking rear mirrors, better chrome finishing (CBU) and comes standard with a rear back rest.

then bought a VulcanS

Ahhh, did you get a nice price selling it? Also, when you owned it, is it hard to get spare parts since it's so rare in M'sia?

i sold it for about RM15k.

Spare parts, other than the engine block, the pistons, etc. most of the mechanical parts are the same as 535.
but well, the bike didn't give me any issues. I just serviced and maintained it.

the only frequent problem was the caburator's leaking diaphragm. The rubber cracks easily. I changed it twice.

however if i want to replace parts such as the signal lights, rear mirrors...hard to get.
my rear mirrors got stolen. No choice i had to use the 535 mirrors as a replacement.
I remember i paid more than RM200 for it. after that i sandblast my number plate onto the mirrors. Hopefully this will deter it from getting stolen again.

Yeah... I had a member who had his bike's badge stolen (was an England badge that came with a the bike), he was quite happy when I gave him my spare (costs like RM4.50 in shopee and is generic product) =.=. Now that I think of it, might order some special nuts for special accessories. At least make it harder for idiots to steal.

Royal Enfield's weakness has always been its lack of power while torque is adequate. But I guess they want reliability so they understress the engine and it is also usually air-cooled so you can't go too far with that.

Or this. Benelli 752. Never understood why this isn't more popular. About same price with Vulcan, sounds many times more garang. Better brakes, handling and power.

Traditional cruisers are quite limiting. Forward foot pegs never worked for me ...too much weight on my bum..and coupled with short suspension travel, makes for an uncomfortable ride on anything but the smoothest of roads.

Not popular because it's china made ?( used to be Italian).

My close friend got rid his leocini in less than 2 years.
Horrible reliability. His daily bike to work. Fed up.

but this one isnt cruiser, footpeg position suggest its a naked bike hmm.gif
i guess it has typical benelli/qjmotor quirk.. offer brembo but bike itself feels meh/not reliable

502c is more of a cruiser

Yes, not your traditional cruiser. But a "power cruiser". Understandably a very niche market with the Diavel being the progenitor.

Well like I said, I never quite warmed up to the foot forward riding position.

Friends with MForce bikes (TNT and Sym) are cursing non-stop with parts availability.
Having to pay first then wait maybe lucky in few weeks some upwards 3 months to get it while bike stranded in workshop.

Since seeing how they suffer, I had been ignoring all the bikes MForce carries regardless on how sexy how cheap their bikes are.
