Picking Up the Royal Enfield Classic 350

The day finally arrived; I headed off to Kmoto in Vilnius, Lithuania, to pick up a Royal Enfield Classic 350.
This also gave me a great opportunity to have a look around Kmoto and see what Lithuanian motorcycle dealerships are like.
The Royal Enfield Scram 411, Royal Enfield Himalayan, Interceptor and Continental GT 650 were all there. The Continental GT 650 had been bored out to 865cc and produced 70+hp (very interesting, as it's the first time I've seen one of these bored out).

Thank you Sagnik :)

You’ve just blown my mind, Sagnik! I had no idea about these (apart from the Super Meteor)! Thank you sir🙂

@@FreddieDobbs you are welcome Freddie, We have also seen some spy shots of RE Himalayan 450 here in India, and some are saying it will be launched under the brand name of Sherpa.. BTW, love your videos, and I jope your channel and your awesome content gets more and more success

[@michealgillman7418]

Royal Enfield go from strength to strength...well done them! I love the scram and himmy, just wish they had a 650 (single cylinder) version. As that interceptor had been "sorted" I wonder if performance parts are available for the 350 and 411? Dare say they are restricted from the factory, just need exhaust, air filter and a remap to give it a few more horses, or is there more to it? regards Mick

[@GeraldGarcia]

I know this is a Classic 350 vid but that big bore Continental had me wiping drool off my chin. 🤤

Absolutely perfect for the Himalayan to be covered in mud, how it's supposed to be. Waiting for the Scram 411 myself. Much love

Isn’t it- the Himalayans look so good roughed up!🤩🏍🤘🏻 Thanks Danny🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@dannyson8755]

[@ZekeAR2]

Check with your local dealer. I have heard that the Scram was a request from RE Europe, and it may not reach your region (Americas right?). Otherwise some journalists here in France find it even better than the original Himalayan (But this is a matter of taste).

[@sagarmeena0210]

that custom 650 sounded like a roaring beast......Congrats on your Classsic 350 , evergreen motorcycle from RE.

Now then! That RE GT looks like a beast, get a go on that Freddie see what its like in a straight line with those mods!

[@richardstory2423]

Wow, gt with twice the power but the same brakes and handling. I had an interceptor for a while and it would certainly get out of shape when you pushed it. But it wasn’t about the sport ride, more the B road cruise.

I am currently live in Manali which located at the north of indian Himachal state and everyone here drive Himalayan and REs. I fell in love with Himalayan with a first sight and after that decided to buy the second-hand one bike. Really really crazy bike for off-road here. The first gear is insane. Love very strong Himalayan.

What a great peek into Lithuania from a motorcycle dealership. Just add watercraft and that is a typical setup of most USA based motorcycle dealerships. Harley and Triumph are the only brands that occasionally have motorcycle only dealerships.

[@BlueRidgeRider]

I’m loving my Classic 350! I hope you enjoy this one.

Freddie, you 're THE most entertaining, english speaking, bike content creator in KZbin. Looking forward to your review on the Classic 350.

[@titovasss]

Welcome to Lithuania from your channel fan from Lithuania. Hope you will have lovely time in our country. Try to drive with a motorbike to Trakai - castle between lakes, also if you are into 340 km ride to Nida - place with dunes at Baltic see. You also have to taste desert called sakotis or as we also call bankuchenas - or better find a place and see how it is made.

Once again a very informative video I can remember the days when here in the UK we also had big dealerships Not many left now I like the huge amount of bikes & stock that the dealership had Makes the whole experience very transparent Here in the UK we are not always able to view, try clothing on, sit on the bike as there not in stock Nice to see the guy explain the details of the bike to you Clearly a great experience 👍

[@johanswede8200]

Eastern Europe is where I am going on my travels in the future. I've already started a few years back. It is like going back to nicer times. Like 1975 in Sweden ( my country).

[@bluemoonriderlipa6880]

The bike at 07:08 has a Reklause Clutch mod on it. Great product, I have 1 in my HD 883, makes bike always in go mode, but you still have to shift gears. Truly automatic bikes are found in various Honda DCT models like CTX, African Twin or Goldwing or most Scooters.

Great dealership. 👍 Just needs a coffee ☕️ shop! Loving the 350. Everything you need to travel. A roll bag on the back. Back road route. Off you go. And much rather go off the beaten track on one of these than half a ton of Bavarian metal. Good one. Happy, safe travels 👍

[@devonbikefilms]

You’ll love it. I’ve just done John O Groats to Lands end on mine, 2152 miles in total, getting there and coming back. The bike performed faultlessly and while not fast can run comfortably at 70mph if necessary. Superb bike. Hasn’t used a drop of oil in 2600 miles. It really benefits from proper running in, the motor frees up nicely and the brakes definitely sharpen up. Beautifully made as well.

Looks like your gonna have some Enfield fun Freddie. Your the only person I’ve ever seen that gets so excited to ride a small displacement bike. But hey small bikes are fun. I would get on that hopped up special . The best two words ever are big bore! And that goes along with big cam. Oh ya the reason that thing sounded like a Harley on steroids, is because I think it was running an S&S muffler and pipes. S&S made in the USA. And your right, bikes are the universal language. A guy from England, is talking to a guy from Lithuania, and a guy from America is commenting about it. We’re all on the same page. If the world only worked like that everything would be cool

Back to weather - well at least consistent in Perth at 19.5C and has just finished raining. The 350 Classic looks good and look forward to your review of it. And the 450 Scram which does look more at home on the roadshould be interesting. I'm not quite sure why they didn't just go whole hog and call it a 500 with slightly extra capacitybut it may have been a weight thing. I see the local grafitti is still alll the rage on building walls in "illness" as the captions call Vilnius!
