I have owned the Classic 350 for just over 2 years now and have to it’s the best bike I have owned in 54 years of riding. Unless you must travel at 80 miles an hour this is the perfect bike. So well made, reliable and you just relax every ride, no worries about speed limits, as more enjoyable at the lower speeds we have these days. 😊

Have a 350cc meteor myself ( in the red) for 8 months now, and found it to be excellent, pulling away from a standing start gets up to its 70 mph fairly quickly, but the best is how comfortable the bike is , and handles a dream, all round a brilliant little machine 😊

+1. The comfort is terrific. It's like riding along sitting in your favourite living room chair .. I did 10/11 hrs (700km+) in one go Chiang - Mai to Bangkok and me ass was fine at the end... Had mine a year+. Almost at 30,000km , beyond standard servicing all I've had to repair/replace is two punctures (nails both times) and new brake pads... She's 🔥 FireBall 🟡 Yellow. Love it to bits .. cheers 🥂 *Crap Game* 🎉

The touring seat dug into the bottom of my bike, it was like surgery so sore. I’ve now got a custom seat which is poor. Back to original for me.

The suspension fix is miles ridden when i first got my meteor i planned to change the rear shocks after the run in period but at 2100 miles its become quite luxurious 👍the common term for that is stiction in the shock absorber the front was the but nowhere near as bad but is now becoming very plush , the motor is still getting better as well and the gearbox which is superb by the way is sensitive to chain tension as i found it had lost its feel a bit but i adjusted the chain at 1200 miles and literally couple of mm was all it needed and normal service was resumed

As I've gotten older, the need for speed has gone from me. So a bike like this is perfect. I really like the Red and chrome Classic 350, as it looks a lot like the old BSA bikes. My only issue is that the chrome would require me to spend time polishing. I think the flat green military Classic 350 would probably be a better option for me. These bikes look really good with knobby on and off road tires, and it gives them more bite on gravel/dirt roads.

Tail tidy and rear seat removal will be enough to give it the sportster look and feel I am looking for, at literally a third of the price.

I have one of the RE 350’s (Bullet). The best comparison in my collection is the Honda CB125F with the type of bike the 350 would be good to ride with. The 350 rides best with mid revs I.e changing gears early. Stay in that chunky torque curb. Whereas the CB125F performs best revving it all the way up. The 350 feels effortless when compared, it feels like it has so much character in an old school vintage motorcycle way. You feel and hear that pulsating engine in the best possible way. It’s a weird sensation, one that I would normally associate with a VTwin. Very addictive. It’s everything the CB125F isn’t. The 125F is way smoother and ridiculous on fuel. Super light weight and takes corners like it doesn’t even know it’s going around it. Fun to rev out and needs much less TLC in maintaining. The 350 gets off from the lights much easier and goes up a hill easier.

You said that you haven't noticed anything different about the bike now that you have put more miles on it. However, the bike that I had did change. When new, riding over large bumps would send a painful thump through the seat, which wasn't comfortable! But after the bike had done about 1,500 miles I realised that the rear suspension had softened and it no longer gave those very harsh thumps. It was noticably better. 🙂

Hah, hah...Planes, Trains - only automobiles didn’t bother your video. Good vid anyway, brother. I bought my first motorcycle a year ago (-at the age of 63), and I chose a RE Classic from 2014. I’m very satisfied with it, but one of these new 350’s were surely on my list of choice. More modern bike when it comes to equipment, less vibration and more easy to handle because of the size. I’ve adopted to my beloved Classic 500 and will never sell it on. But if I had the budget & physical space fo 2 bikes, I would probably choose one of these for every day commuting. It’s a very classy smaller bike😊👍

Seeing as I'm not looking to speed around and they would probably suit my size a bit better I'm looking cruisers. Lexmoto make a 125cc cruiser. I've heard mixed things about them but my feeling is get it new for £1700 while it has the warranty so if anything goes wrong its covered and I can flog it when I hopefully pass the full test before warranty runs out!

Honest review-I think the limiter comes in at 74/5mph, at least it does on mine. A real bargain, currently being offered by Moto gb at £2999 plus otr. You're gonna miss it.

@@exeterrider yes Supernova, fireball are £2995 I believe there is a £200 on the road price to be added to each model. Just learned that the tripper was removed from the standard spec in May 22, due to what R.E state as a shortage of chips ? But you can purchase it as a optional extra. Also it appears the cat on the exhaust isn't there anymore where your models shows that box system the new models don't have that.

Classical Exeter review .. If there is not noise or interruptions, we will miss them. 😁 .. The bike is brilliant, the engine too. I still miss my classic 350 but think that made a mistake, should of gone for the meteor in red with the top spec .. But it's not healthy to dwell on the past. The thing I don't like is the instrument cluster and it's offset to left location, maybe the headlight too. Looks a bit unfinished like something is missing in the area. The classic is perfect in that regard, but it is not a comfortable seating position as the meteor.

The curse of the E.R (UK based) walkround chat will always be Stefan : ) Fair comment about the clocks etc, not something that bothers me but I see where you're coming from there. The Classic is also a stunning bike, but I'm more a "sit in" than "Sat on" bike type of person, I much like the Meteor as you tell : )

Well I have it on good authority that he did actually try to buy one, but the seller seemed to have a change of heart. I'm pretty sure that he'll succumb eventually. He just needs to find the right bike at the right price. But he's getting there ! 😉 I'm putting money aside to buy him those leather chaps for when he does get one. Detachable codpiece optional. I hope the Social Ride went well Jeff. Sounds like a lot of people were planning on coming 😱 Cheers Jeff, Garry

Exactly that Garry, right bike, right price and at a time when I feel more safe money wise coming in rather than a deficite every month which is doing my head in tbh. The cod piece you can keep for yourself because I know you French people are a saucy lot, I've seen the films. Social went well, with some heavy showers but that didn't dampen the tone. I didn't get a lot of footage but will see what I can stitch with what one has. Areeba

I totally agree with you on the highway. I don’t really want to be going 80-85 on two wheels. So many other reviews are like “ don’t go on the highway it’s not safe you’ll die!” Like there aren’t dozens of cars and trucks going 65-70 in the slow lane. These same people afraid to go 65 MPH due to the danger are whizzing in and out of traffic at 90 assuming no car is going to change lanes in front of them, a far more likely danger than getting run over doing 65
