Sorry guys. Yep I bought a stealth.Fitted Dna filter/de cat pipe/ seat springs. Sadly, I've had a seizure and not been able to ride it yet. Jan 3rd is D day if not had another one. Build quality is great. I'm hooked. It was thanks to these guys I bought it.

In India riders take this bike on 4000kms (2500 mile) ride from Southern most tip of Kanyakumari upto Leh in Himalayas. It is considered to be the baptism of the rider and the bike.

They don't ride they transport the vehicle. This bike does not have that kind of quality. All kind of nonsense to promote the bike. This is a cheap bike that is not reliable. With a clunky gearbox that makes all kinds of noise while shifting to the tappet noise from engine after 3 months of usage . This is nothing but a cheap quality machine

I love my RE Classic 350. I don’t care about speed or over taking other vehicles. Just cruising along at speeds of 35 - 50 MPH is so relaxing. I absolutely love it!

[@dlegand4951]

Been in India for the past 6 months and I noticed that this bike was everywhere, and I thought the styling on some of them was awesome. I ended up having a go on one and thought it felt great to ride. I did a load of research and ended up finding your channel and have watched each of your videos on this bike. I have now ordered one and its waiting for me when I get back to the UK in September.

[@SteelSteedStan]

This bike is an absolute gem 💎. I love it. I've sold my big Pan European and bought a halcyon green Classic 350. Now I have this idiotic grin 😁 from ear to ear every time I go out for a ride. And I am also a tall man - 188cm. I may look weird on the RE, but I don't care. I care about the way I feel. And it feels great.

[@trooper64428]

It's a Royal Enfield, designed to go on any road in India, which basically means it can go on any road in the world. Takes you back to a time when Firemen still wore brass helmets, police men wore pointy helmets, and milkmen delivered the milk in glass bottles. Charming, rugged and reliable. 👍

Bang on OM You've had it for more than just the usual once round the houses review . So we value your opinon highly. Just finished running my classic in . Purrs like a long stroke kitten. Im 6ft.1" and 13.5 stone (85 kg) find it spot on . Did 100 miles non stop around Suffolk the other day . 7 quid on fuel. Felt better and more comfortable than my previous Kawasaki Vulcan VN900 Custom Special Agreed if you want a performance bike dont touch these bikes with a barge pole But If you want relaxed riding with character and soul in your bike , in my opinion you cant get better than these little Enfield 350s. All at a bargain basement price, but not bargain basement quality . They are built better than many machines costing 3 times the price . Love the return to basic pure biking .

[@michaelzell4924]

Thank you for all the review videos, you've done on this bike. I've watched them all and they were the best ones, I've seen on KZbin. I fell in love with that bike, the moment I've seen it. The look of the Classic 350 is awesome and after watching your videos, I know, it's the perfect bike for me. I'm 50 now. I don't have to prove anything, like speeding on the "Autobahn". I just want to ride those countryroads and "burble along", as you often say(I love that expression). It's the perfect bike to have fun, without getting into trouble. I want the Classic 350 and I'ill get one. Not this year, but definitely next year. I wish you all the best for your migration to spain and I'm waiting to see more high quality videos from you on KZbin.

[@89RASMUS]

Had mine for a summer now and I really like it. It's perfect for the day trips without a destination. Mostly I use it to roam around the small roads, both tarmac and gravel, where 80km/h is about as fast as you'd like to go anyway. Small, easy to maneuver, reasonable clearance, an engine that just won't cut out even if you get close to 0rpm, maintenance that can be easily sorted at home without special equipment, cheap extra, extremely good looks, etc.... It is a bike that becomes what you make it into. As long as you can accept it's not a speed demon, you WILL love this bike.

[@christianmouraux7269]

Thanks to your review of this bike, I bought one, and I couldn’t be happier 👍 I’m riding motorcycles for 35 years now, have had many many bikes, still have big bikes like the KTM 1290 super Adventure, and this Royal Classic 350 is really pure riding....going back to the roots! Love it! Thanks

[@ScooterintheSticks]

I've followed closely your interactions with the Royal Enfield Classic 350 because I was convinced it was the "exploration tool" that I wanted. I had test rode the Triumph Bonneville and Street Twin, motorcycles that I've coveted for a long time, and just had to acknowledge it was not the understated machine I was after. My plans to purchase a Classic 350 was interrupted by serendipity when the mechanic doing the annual safety inspection of the Himalayan told me she was selling her 2001 Kawasaki W650. That bike was exactly what I was after in terms of ride, simplicity, styling, and understated power. Something I'm certain from your descriptions the Classic 350 would deliver. So after a few miles of test ride the W650 was bought. It seems a close cousin of the 350 with just a bit more power. I love your reviews. Thank you for sharing them. I hope the warmer weather of Spain doesn't adversely affect your creative leanings!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

The Kawasaki W is a true gem 👌🏼

[@PhilipBallGarry]

I've had mine since April and it's excellent 👍. Coming from a T100 I was prepared to be underwhelmed but was extremely surprised. Plenty of comfy space for a pillion (we ride two-up 90% of the time). Certainly in the UK where there's a war on the motorist - it's perfect. We enjoy 40/50/60 mph these days and it's such an easy bike to ride that you get to enjoy the scenery. Some have said it's "dangerously slow" which is a ridiculous statement as it keeps up with most traffic, most of the time. Obviously there are occasions where I'd normally go for an overtake but you have to pick your fights a bit more intelligently. £52 road tax, £100 insurance and 100 mpg it's cheap to run. Meant to be easy to work on, diy servicing is simple (tappets are screwdriver and locknut). Service intervals are 6000 miles (or annually) after the first 300 like service 😊

[@adriansteele9212]

I've just got back from a four day tour of the Isle of Wight, starting from Milton Keynes. Fully loaded with camping gear and a 15 stone rider. No problems, really comfy, sounds amazing. Can't wait to do it again. Don't be put of by the hp, it really doesn't feel under powered.

[@tk421trading6]

I regularly do a 200 mile commute on my classic... she is FLAT OUT the whole way on motorways for 95% of the journey, sometimes bouncing off of the limiter.... and she doesn't care. Doesn't skip a beat. She just keeps on going, and she has been doing this for over and year and many thousands of miles... She also wanders down country lanes and people talk to me every time I park up. I've had fireblades, harleys, two stroke race reps, classic vespas, BMW tourers, off roaders and muscle bikes... but the Enfield has such a strong and well deserved place in my heart.

I bought mine in the same color on looks alone. I like all kinds of food, but discovered lately that I can’t stand truffles. Tastes like poo to me, and this really surprised me. I love to try new foods, and usually enjoy them. So, when I bought my Classic 350, I hadn’t never ridden it, but have had dozens of motorcycles from 50-900cc, so I got on it for my 50 miles ride home from the dealership and I was so surprised that I absolutely loved it. So I named it Truffle. Your reviews are very enjoyable and trustworthy. My favorite. You sound sincere- and I agree.This is one of few purely great motorcycles made. Just a little more top power would be the cherry on top of a pile of cherries. Best wishes to Darcy, wife, and animals. Bo Orlando, Florida

[@pyrrhical3423]

I am finally riding on of these on a tour of Sri Lanka! I have hired one for 2 weeks from the official RE dealership here. I’ve much anticipated the chance to try a RE from watching many of your videos, and the experience thus far has been a rollercoaster. I’ve had to change everything in my riding to accommodate it; I explained to my wife, in simple terms, that at home I take my bike for a ride and thrash it about. But this is different, the classic 350 takes you for a ride, forcing a more anticipatory, measured pace. At first it felt sluggish, heavy and rather slow and disappointment ensued. But after 5 days, I have come to really admire and enjoy it for what it is. I might have missed the elephants, crocodiles and all the other flora and fauna Sri Lanka has to offer if I were on my usual bike. Thanks for you videos, I’d say you’re dead on here. Oh and the RE dealership gave me one with an aftermarket exhaust and a luggage rack. Perfect!

There is something magical about the looks of this bike, and like you said in the beginning of the video, it's a bike for "take your time getting there" people. Its natural habitat are the back roads, 50km/h is the speed, and the soundtrack is nothing more than the wind and the "thump" of the engine.

Before I bought my Classic 500, I had a 131 HP BMW. It had all the bells and whistles and was perfect. And that made it so unbelievably boring. So boring, that I lost all interest in riding at all. Then, on a whim, I bought the Classic 500. Instantly, my love for riding was back. She's far from perfect and vibrates a lot. But that makes her so much fun! Two years later I added a Kawasaki W800 to my collection. I love both bikes and ride them as much as I can. Hardly any electronics, just pure riding and they both take you anywhere. Totally in love 🙂

You bring a great point about practicality, and it becoming a lost art somehow. One word that comes to mind looking at this bike is sensibility. It's just sensible. Things are the way they are because it works. It's really that simple. Nothing looks superficial, even decorative elements don't look "fake" or purely for vanity. It's a simple machine, and everything in it is designed to do the job. And yet this is one of the most beautiful bikes I have ever seen in my life. So well balanced.

[@yorkshire_tea_innit8097]

Most fun era I had biking was with my 1st bike a cg125 because I was so free to explore and the ride was cheap and relaxing, no second thoughts or expectations on the idea of going out for a ride.

That bike has such a clunky gearbox, so much so going into first I used to cringe same into 3rd. That little Enfield is so well made , old school technology and amazing paint finish. Don't knock it till you try it! Great review as always. Last thoughts! Ask yourself what you use your bike for, if you only do one or two long trips a year do you need that big heavy GS. Every day transport or trip round the lanes stopping at the pub for one or popping to the shop with your panniers this little bike provides more smile's per gallon. 😊👌

I’ve own the continental 650Gt for abt 7 months now. All I could say is, it’s the best bike for money I’ve owned. I rarely get on my Harleys these days because of this bike. Like he said, fantastic on the B-roads. And when I’m on the highway, I could easily cruise at 130kmh per hour. It’s light, simple, and stylish. Bye bye Harley, hello to Royal Enfield

in my life I have had powerful motorbikes, such as Yamaha R1, Kawasaki 900, Ducati, then I stopped for a few years, I thought about returning to the world of two wheels and starting again with a quiet motorbike, I bought myself a Meteor 350, and I really amused, then I thought about increasing the displacement, and I bought a super meteor 650, you won't believe me, but I returned it the next day, and I got my Meteor 350 back, this engine has something magical, racing no longer makes sense for me, watching the views exploring those mountain roads, with the meteor or the classic, you can do it without risking too much, now I'm thinking of taking the Classic 350 too, I really like its style, I wanted to congratulate you on your video, your Classic is splendid!

[@HENDRY_FORBES]

That is the most reliable & simple machine... which looks pretty handsome also 👍🏻

[@bezradnymiastarybnika-mari5060]

And I chose Classic and honda ntv 650 revere. But Classic nr 1. Thank you!

Don't look at the bike. Look at the man. He's the type of person you have to be to enjoy this bike. Calm, down-to-earth, enjoying design features, enjoying nature. If you're the opposite personality, you probably don't enjoy the bike as well.

I love mine , I installed the tripper for navigation, silver sump guard that goes nicely with the Halcyon Gray color of the bike, grab rail/ luggage rack, just ordered the DNA air filter and cat delete pipe , just love riding it , constantly getting compliments on it , gets more compliments than my Gold Line Speedmaster, thanks for that Video

[@leonardhofstadter007]

The video is classic as the bike. Love from India.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks! 🙌🏻

[@rimurutempest2130]

Feels really great watching Ol man with Ol men's Bike . Regards from India , Sir !

[@Richard_Lush]

It’s a beautiful machine. They made them perfectly back in the 40s to the 60s. I’m thinking of getting one.

[@kal-px7qd]

Exploring on a light bike yes, the small streets and other small roads stoping for a Coffee/Beer on a nice day is the perfect way to roll , I have an Indian scout and wouldn’t mind this as a second bike

[@the.just.able.biker67]

It makes a cracking touring bike as well. I've just done 650 miles on it this week. I went from Edinburgh to Waternish on the Isle of Skye, then across the width of Scotland to Montrose, then home again. It took everything and every road in its stride. I'll be posting up some videos of my journey very soon. 👍

[@michaelcarlson2400]

Absolutely love my 2022 classic 350. Bought it last year and I am right at about 4000 miles(6500 km). I agree with absolutely everything that you said and I would love a 650 version of this bike. I would buy it in a heartbeat! Cheers from the Pacific Northwest!

[@pitphanter8610]

Mee too, the same story. A lot of greetings from Germany.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Ahhhh I LOVE this bike!!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Sadly going back soon. I will miss it 👍🏼

[@chasemorgan1668]

I just recently finished a 10 day long motorcycle trip through Oregon on mine! Definitely off-road capable and reliable. I spent most nights in the woods in places I daresay some adventure riders probably wouldn't go.

[@yellownev]

Nice review thank you. These bikes ( I’ve a Himalayan) are all about exploring, affordability and back to basics motorcycling. There is a singular joy in carry speed thru bends flowing, anticipating making steady safe enjoyable progress. On my Himmy doing a lot of the passes in Wale coming your way Friday….. I’ll bring the rain !

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Had enough rain just bring sun ☀️

[@reeyazesack503]

I own a RE himalayan. To me RE is special because it's an appreciate of the simple things. In a world where everything is overhype, big power, sexy, it's nice to see a company where little things like the joy of riding being the focus.

[@tarragonadreamin]

Thanks Mr D, I nearly bought the very same bike, but it had to be the Halcyon grey ,-) Today when having a cold cerveza, another biker (large Triumph) took a photo of the R.E. I never experienced these reactions with any other bike. ,-)

[@kwakithailand]

Awesome as well as balanced presentation of a beautiful bike 👍 Thanks for your continued efforts, Ol'Man 🙏

[@stevelong5510]

I have the Meteor 350 and it’s the best bike I’ve owned for our usability and ease of riding . Love the look of the Classic as well!

[@Plough78]

Rolling on a Fireball Yellow... Concur... Marvelous bike.. 10,000 km done zero issues... 🎉

[@martaskali925]

I have convinced my friend to get this bike as his first ever bike, to enter the realm of motorcycling. He is very happy about it. Great bike for newbies and not only.

[@varunganapathi5081]

Royal Enfield has always made versatile machines. I have a 1960s bullet that was passed down by grandfather. Still better than the newer models.

[@shree397]

Most highways in India are limited to 80/100kmph (Expressway @120-140kmph but motorcycles are not allowed on those. So this is practically a brilliant machine that can do every single job and people in India have been riding these classics to Ladakh from all parts of country, even South of India, which is what 3569+ kilometres.😅

[@93nicd]

I absolutely fell in love with this bike, and have test ridden it twice. I also test rode the Intercepfor and the Gold Star. Whilst i thought the Classic was the most aesthetically pleasing, the most engaging at low speed, and the best seating position, the lack of power was just too much of a compromise for me. I am a large heavy person, around 19st, and I really struggled to get this into the 60s let alone 70mph. Ultimately I will dream of having this as a second bike local run around one day, and have bought the Interceptor. It is a fantastic, characterful bike and I am happy. Maybe the Classic 650 will be my next bike.

[@dadmadforgot4050]

For a real world motorcycle you don’t need more. Great review as ever 👍❤️

[@derMenix]

Thanks for your very good Video 😃👍Ich bin seit gestern, 15. Sept. 2023, Besitzer einer neuen RE 350 Classic🤩❣️ Eigentlich wollte ich nur eine Probefahrt damit machen, weil so viele Kommentare in etlichen Videos über die 350 Classic so sehr positiv sind. Nun, nach der Propefahrt habe ich sofort ❤️‍🔥 die Vorführmachine des Händlers gekauft😅 Ich fahre noch zwei alte MZ Customs (ETS 250 Trophy Sport Cafe Racer, TS 150 Scrambler) und eine 2017er 883 Custom Sporty Streamliner! Nun habe ich noch eine Royal Enfield in meiner Garage stehen, an der ich nichts customizen werde. Sie ist original sehr schön 😊 Ich freue mich auf viele entspannte und ruhige Touren mit der Maschine 😀 Danke nach Indien und UK für dieses prächtige, traditionelle und stilvolle Motorrad 😍👍👍👍Greatings from East Germany, the Menix 👋😁
