2022 Royal Enfield Classic 350 - My First 500 Kl -The Review You Must Watch!

[@angiefav1847]

What a magnificent machine what a retro look brings me back when l was young, but l do ride royal enfield with sidecar classic 500. Again l love it

[@ridewithwarro]

it's sort of period styling i think. that's why i chose it to do my upcoming 20 series riding outback Australia and roadside cook series. starts soon

[@angiefav1847]

Great job warro keep up the good work

[@ridewithwarro]

@@angiefav1847 thanks. now in the process of putting together my promo clip for the up coming roadside rest and cook series.

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

Don't you just love riding a sidecar outfit? They are not fast but they are so much fun and women got love them. I have so many women tell me that my Ural sidecar outfit is so cute. Psy cars are so much safer simply because people in cars see them more than a regular motorcycle. And when you get a used bike it's like buying a sidecar and getting the motorcycle that tows it for free.

[@ridewithwarro]

@@frankmarkovcijr5459 never actually tried a bike with side car but i can see the attraction

[@chrisweeks6973]

Nice review, Warro - and that's a lovely-looking bike! My wife was watching the review over my shoulder and her comment was that the bike looks very nice; in fact she was quite taken by it's appearance, so that definitely increases my chances of getting one! :))

[@ridewithwarro]

yeah im pretty happy with the bike and your wife shows good taste too. i think buy one and you are both set for a trip back in time adventure

[@johnnybgood7812]

Mine arrives next week and I’m excited like a little kid on Christmas Eve! In the meantime I’m loving watching your great videos. Thanks.

[@ridewithwarro]

well i think you should enjoy the experience of the new ride. i think it runs pretty good for just a 35-0 with 20hp all the best

[@irishpete5472]

Beautiful machine, looking forward to mine arriving in a few weeks.

[@ridewithwarro]

i think you'll enjoy the experience-not so the wait it out period but the ride experience alone

[@davidireland6952]

I had to wait nearly 3 months for my UK 2021 Himalayan, but while the wait can be excruciating, it is worth it in the end for the quality of bike you get and I found I cherished it a lot more when I got it 😊 hope you get is soon and happy riding the beauty 👍

I bought that exact bike, same color, picking it up tomorrow, I also have a 2022 Triumph Speedmaster Gold Line , but I think I’m gonna love the 350 just as much or even more so, I’m 63 years old , these bikes are just my style, thanks for a wonderful video!

you should enjoy the experience and accept it a bargain for the $$ outlay. i did 150 klm on the green today and it was very enjoyable but cold...lol

[@scottboettcher]

We live in Pasadena, CA and got three of these in July. First cool weekend since we bought them, and we spent yesterday riding! They are amazing. I got this color (Halcyon Grey) and my son got the Bronze/Chrome and buddy got the Halcyon Green. They're all lovely! You'll find that you can't go anywhere without being stopped and asked about them. If you are an introvert, it's not the right bike to get ;) Ride Safe 🙏🏼

[@BulletWanderer]

I love my Bullet 500, but the Halycon Gray here, it's really grown on me through watching your recent videos. If I am to get one of these Classic 350s, I'd say it'd be in this colour, love the pale blue, and the white stripe, looks fantastic. Looking forward to the roadside cooking videos!

[@ridewithwarro]

well -they say its grey. i think its very pale blue-wife thinks it blue so some-one is wrong...lol either way its a very nice colour and i picked it many months earlier to do this ride/cook series if i was buying again i would still go this exact colour. you know when you like some-thing the moment you get off the ride and look back or how many times you get on it ive got a sore neck....lol

[@donsteel4509]

If I get one I am heading for that grey/ blue colour! Very nice!

[@Stefan_trekkie]

I've ordered one.. But it will be at least 40 days to get here /Europe/ They sell out right at the arrival. We have a saying here that roughly translates as "They sell out faster then warm bread"

[@Stefan_trekkie]

@@ridewithwarro Sorry .. In the rush I have written worm instead of warm

[@richardharmon5682]

Thanks for that great and thorough review of the new Classic 350. It does seem as if RE finally made a very modern classic with a lot of quality control improvements, compared to their old B5 and C5 models. It is nice that the fenders are made of steel, even if the side covers are not. I bet that thick exhaust header pipe is double-walled in order to keep it from blueing.

[@ridewithwarro]

i think they have well and truly improved them over the 500's even if they dropped it to 350cc. on flat ground its a pretty quick runner and far ahead of the old carby 350 vibes are pretty low too and twice i have ridden it on 100 klm runs with no gloves just to evalute the vibe in bars and riding with runners. either way pretty good and nothing like the rides i'd been on in the past. so far the experience has been good and i've been riding it twice per day. dont think that has happened in a truck load of bikes or for quite some time...lol

[@uncletom1971]

I just bought the matt black one yesterday, and I'm thrilled. I weigh about 100kg and on my way home, on this bike, I noticed that it can easilly cruise at 100kmh, and if I lean forward splitting air with my helmet, it can go well at 120kmh. But if you get head wind, or uphill, you will notice the speed dropping down to about 110kmh. I don't know wether it makes any difference what oil you use in the engine, or if you could get some more speed out of it by modifying exhaust/ air intake, but it has a good enough speed my tours.

[@ridewithwarro]

a pretty quick run home

[@ridewithwarro]

@@donsteel4509 yeah i agree. something i wouldn't try with one of these

[@davidireland6952]

I have after riding 750/1000cc+ sports/adventure bikes for over 32 yrs in the UK (was a devout Suzuki only guy with Suzuki trademark tattoo), I gave them up and bought a new RE 2021 Himalayan in June 21 which is slow compared to the bikes i have previously owned , but has real world acceleration for the chill out guys, you have to plan the overtake with only a 80mph top speed but i LOVE it!!.. RE is not about speed or acceleration, it's about riding a bike with a true soul..they get under your skin, into the riders heart and very quickly become part of the family that you wont sell or ever part with..due to how much i love riding my RE himmy, I bought and am picking up a new interceptor on the 1st March 2022 to add to my stable..after the interceptor, i need to work alot of hours and maybe get me a new 350 classic which is a beautiful motorcycle, but RE should have stayed with/kept the kick start on all their bikes..that would have given them a lot more sales due to them going really old school on their bikes and that peeps want to see on them.. new sub, loved the vid brill review mate 😁 CEAT tyres are brill on the wet or dry roads, on my Himalayan in all weather's in the UK, i found them to have a lot of grip and will never put you sliding down the road 👍 I am staying with CEAT as better than a lot of main brand tyres I have used in the past..only other tyre after 32 yrs on all bikes, knee down etc that i truly trust..would be the Maxxis brand they are excellent for grip and longevity..hope they have the sizes for the RE bikes, if not, CEAT all the way for me😊 loving the look of the new 350 classic..beautiful bike to own BUT if i cant find a very very low mileage 500 classic under 500 miles..then will deffo buy a new 350 classic as they look a lot better than the meteor for old school looks 👍😊

[@ridewithwarro]

my thoughts would be buy the new 350 as its a pretty good set of wheels as they have upped the assemble side quite a bit. not perfect but much better now have had no real experience with the ceat tyres but time will tell there. im in no hurry to do a swap out more like a wear out...lol kichstarter would have been the icing on the cake i'd thought

Hello Warro. You may already know about them, but Hitchcocks offers a very nice looking all metal chain guard for the C350 reborn, and they also offer a beautiful tachometer that fits in the hole where the tripper would be mounted. It comes with the correct connectors for a specific model of RE, and is a plug and play unit. No need to cut wires. Thanks for the review.

[@ridewithwarro]

thanks for the info. i'll have a look!

[@idiotbox.]

Such a great looking bike. Never ridden and Royal Enfield before and if I purchased the classic, I would be content just relaxing in the garage looking at it 👌

Classic bikes are something special, I'm still riding a 35 year old B M W K75c , but am thinking of down sizing , and I think single cylinder bike which cuts the costs down because its just one of everything to renew or replace plus life in the slow lane sometimes isn't a bad thing 😀, good video bro . 😀

[@ridewithwarro]

plus as i put the miles on it or should i say klm my thoughts are- it runs along the open road pretty well considering the weight roughly 195kgs and the moter 350cc and 20 hp put it all together and it cruising extremely well i guess it must as i have not clocked 1000 klm from scrath in one week...lol all the best

[@daveinwla6360]

Great laid back and honest review, I was hoping you'd not discovered any Gremlins, as I've had one on order for a few months! Cant wait!! You mention the pannier on one side, They don't seem to make a pannier rack for the LHS of the bike ( same part exactly as for the Meteor) I've ordered a nice 3rd party soft leather pannier in light brown which will look good on the Halcyon Black bike. . Stay safe, looking forward to your next Vid

i find plenty wrong with the previous version but this new one really is a pretty good bike, how good? hows this for my next clip title out shortly "Royal Enfield Classic 350 -One Week-1000 Klm-What A Bike." in the process of doing it now got the pannier it looks good but small at 12 litres due to the fact i was playing with a knife for the cook series and got cut...lol i'm sort of out of action and cant fit it when i do it will be on the bike. i think it will look fine

Excellent review Warro. Beautiful bike. 🌈⭐️

[@ridewithwarro]

Glad you liked it! i think it looks the part and rides well too. best starting single ive every owned in the enfield range with a lightning fast start up and on to a very steady easy idle. just more like press the starter and walk away for a couple of minutes regardless of temp. well so far 6C but its suppose to be summmer or the hot period...lol

Reminds me a bit of my very first m’bike back in ‘69, a BSA Bantam 175. That was lots of fun. Boy the roads have changed now though (UK) with so much traffic and everything so fast…

[@ridewithwarro]

im enjoying the runs on this. it can hold 50 mph or 80 kph with absolutely no effort whatsoever. when i had the 2 new 350's a couple of years back (carby jobs) not the case and they were near puffed out at that speed.

[@johnbellamy6449]

i acually thought about one of those and these are close excpt for riding position and a different tune. i was close to going for it then i heard from India this was coming and i thought it may be easier on my back so far its just like riding or almost anyway-being on a C5

[@jeffarnie]

You mentioned the speedo being stuck on 40 at the start. The same thing happened to our Interceptor on a day ride. Stayed at plus 40 nearly all day until we got home and somehow righted itself. I'll be interested in how you fixed it incase it happens again.

[@ridewithwarro]

well this is all new to me with really no info on the bike in question. i didnt even get an owners manual as they have not yet arrived here. after i turned it of i again turned the key and noticed the reading dropped 10 kph. never stared the bike. i did the same again and it dropped to 15 kph on the clock repeated it and this time it did the full sweep and resettled on zero.

Great review, great bike. If I didn’t have a sorted C5 trails I’d probably go for one. By sorted I’ve gone a bit crazy cos it’s got the full Hitchcock 615cc conversion. This means pleasant vibrations and 33bhp and 42ft/lbs of torque at the back wheel (19bhp and 28ft/lbs standard). It’ll cruise at 75-80mph and tops out at 95ish, it’s a keeper!

Beautiful bike! I may consider one of these in the future even with me being 6'4'' and all 3 of my nearest dealers being 250 miles away (good planning there Royal Enfield). The only things I don't like is the lack of the Amp meter, the digital panel and the key being moved from the side box. The only thing I absolutely hate is the terrible looking tail light. Why on earth did they use a prolapsed rectum rather than the Lucas lookalike of the Bullets (like the Bullet I bought new in '93?).

[@ridewithwarro]

gotta agree. i bought a amp meter from idia to pull out that disc and see if it fits the slot ok. if so it will give it a more period style look. not connect of coarse..lol

Hello Warro, Can you tell me if there is a way to adjust the leverage of the foot shifting Pedal? Seemed to me that the Holding of the footpeg would be in the way, so you cannot pull the shifting lever off. Have you tried to adjust it? Greetings

[@ridewithwarro]

i think it will pull out ok as i've found on C5's the shifter is usually a bit sloppy when its undone. in India it comes with a heal and tor shifter which i do like thats what i'd like to have got on this but if i source one out i will try to remove the old prior to buying

[@kennyscott1089]

I’ve decided. It’s the chrome one for me.

Hi Warro, any hints on how to fix the sticky speed indicator? I’ve got same problem on Meteor 350. Only an intermittent problem but nonetheless annoying. Cheers

[@ridewithwarro]

mine has done it a couple of times and mainly after a longer ride. last time it stuck on 25 kph so heres what i did. just turn the key on and dont start -let the needle spin and do its lap and turn it off. repeat again and each time it recycles it will drop x amont of klm. dont start the bike till it starts from zero and does the comlete arc and set back on zero. that gets me out of trouble as i am too far from a dealer to have them take a look. apart from that all good and great ride

Hi Warro, I like to hit the freeways on occasions for a couple of hours. How do you think these would do once run in and perhaps opened up with the restrictions all removed. What do you estimate it would top out at (on closed circuit of course) 😉

[@ridewithwarro]

tell me what speed you want to go and i will give you a good honest answer

[@chrisweeks6973]

Should be the same as the stock Meteor, so 100kph on the freeway no worries, but 110 is about it's limit. Actually feels as if it's maybe governed, but I could be wrong. Could always change the front sprocket to give it longer legs.

[@ridewithwarro]

@@chrisweeks6973 yeah i'd say 100 kph is doable on flat type running and does it easy. cruising at 110 kph although i have had mine on 110 kph maybe not wise when thats not that far off top speed

[@ridewithwarro]

putting 95 ron at the moment. it appears to run well on that. these run very well compared to the 2 x 350's i had in carby form but under windy conditions or graded hills a 500 would knock one over pretty easy. on flat type roads under ideal riding conditions they will sit and hold on 90 kph very easy and i'd say cruise well at 100 kph in a pretty relaxed manner too

[@londo0]

Do you notice loss of power when compared to 500?

[@ridewithwarro]

on graded hills or in a head wind situation the 500 would come out on top. i dont know for sure as ive been easy on it. on cruising flat type running its far quicker than one would expect. it will easily sit on 50/55 mph very easy and little throttle effort. say maybe a 1/4 turn would i swap it for a 500 -definately not! it has too many positives. ive been on heaps of those and its now 2022 and i will make a bold statement and say its the best starting bike in fuel injection ive been on to date. got 20 clips to do on this bike in the ride/cook series coming so i will get plenty of seat time to evalute and give the positives and negs should they arrive

[@michaelc3416]

Can't really agree with you there, sorry. Obviously, it depends on one's riding style and expectations in a motorcycle... So, yeah, if you ride on the interstate, then no, the 350 won't make you a happy camper. But, I absolutely abhor riding any motorcycle on the interstate, and do almost all of my riding on country backroads with a max speed limit of 55. I have a Himalayan, and while it sucks on the interstate, it's great on the roads I ride. Took a test ride on the Meteor last fall just to get a feel for the engine, in anticipation of maybe getting a C350 this year. Was pleasantly surprised by its performance. Is it fast? Hell, no! But, as a gentleman's ride, it's great, IMO. Had it up to 70mph briefly on the test ride and it felt fine. Likely wouldn't do much more, but that told me for the 50-60mph that I need, it'll do nicely. So again, it just depends on your needs...

[@krishm16]

@@michaelc3416 I feel in Canada, there are many places that are inaccessible without having to take a highway. Using backroads is ultimately my aim too, by adds hours to the overall ride. So I feel a 500 has more power to keep up in this instance than a 350.
