Long Term Review | Royal Enfield Classic 350 | The Pure Essence of this Modern Classic Motorcycle.

We've had the Royal Enfield Classic 350 for a few months, and in this final review video, The Ol' Man gives you his final conclusions and summary of this modern classic motorcycle, having lived with it for some time, and ridden it on all sorts of roads, from motorways (freeways) to country lanes, and even along a dirt track! This motorcycle is not owned by us, but has been kindly lent to us by Royal Enfield for a long-term review. It is going back soon and we will be swapping it with the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650!
We address the main concern people have expressed when considering this bike; namely power.
Engine, styling, design, seating position, observations, good points and bad.
Is this the motorbike for YOU? Hopefully this interesting summary will help you to decide.

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

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. 👍

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.

[@Lee-70ish]

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 .

[@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.

[@kickassguy704]

I have a Royal Enfield classic from the 80s. Still works great for me. This is a gentleman’s bike. No fuss, no bling, just a plain, simple, rugged, well engineered machine. It suits my personality.

[@creative-renaissance]

I fell in love with this bike whilst visiting India earlier this year. We had 3 adults on it, riding up a steep mountain and did the job just fine, albeit slowly. BTW, Cool is riding the bike you want, wearing the clothes you want and not giving a damn what other people think.

[@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.

[@fs5866]

The Indians took an old design updated it over the years while preserving the simplicity and reliability . Why couldn't England do that ?

[@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!

[@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 😊

I have the 350 Supernova which share the same engine and now as a 58 year old man I simply couldn't be arsed doing 4 million mph now.. I just love farting about the back roads hearing the charming little engine banging it's heart out.. My adrenaline gland has been rung dry and I'm quite happy about that😂😂

[@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

Yes it's a legend of a bike in India. All Indians even though they might not like it but respect it because of the way it works. It has been given a new lease of life with the new motor and few tweaks. I just adore it and may buy it if I can afford it. Love your videos very honest, old school and very appropriate comments on the product you review. Hope we can revive old classics like triumph and BSA like this Royal Enfield. Thank you.❤🙏

[@FredEricS-Moto]

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 🙂

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.

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

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

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.

[@robertmassey807]

I am really impressed with this video. You have put your case over brilliantly. I may not always agree with what you say but you have sold me enough to go and have a test ride. Thank you for being so passionate. I hope it sounds better in the flesh! 👍

[@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.😅

20 hp not enough? If he had the time and money, he would take this motorcycle for a trip around the world. The ancient Mongols traveled from ocean to ocean in a couple of weeks with one horse. It may not be the fastest motorcycle, but it can still achieve a very reasonable average speed with excellent range, good mobility and passability. When I think about it, if I could choose only one motorcycle in the world, it would definitely be a single-cylinder classic, probably the Royal Enfield Classic 350

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

I got the RE comfort, it is superb! Cheers and thanks for the nice video, Ronny in Canada. PS, good haircut & beard trim, now my wife is onto me for trimming my beard too, LOL. All the best to you!

The thing is, really, with a royal Enfield "not managing more than 60 mph" is that 60 mph is nearly a 100 kph (it's 96 to be exact). You're never going to get _near_ that on an Indian road, ever. Either the road is too bumpy, or there's too much traffic, or it's both.

I'm currently in Italy on holiday and everywhere I look it's low capacity bikes. I've owned big bikes like the zzr1400 , big touring bikes and sports bikes. My favorite and will never sell my 350 classic. My Triumph 1200 thruxton r didn't get as much attention!! 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. 😊👌

Your home looks similar to mine here in East Tennessee. Thank you for the great videos Ol' Man.

fell in love a first sight. a true gem. i ride it every day at least 2-3 hours just because i can. benelli made a decent attempt, but RE totally nailed it. thanks ol' man!

Have mine (red/chrome) for two weeks now and I can honestly say I'm completely in love with it. 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.

Heyy, I have that Chrome Red too and I can't disagree with you 😊 It's been 10 days now and more I ride the more I'm falling, falling in love with Royal Enfield Classic 350😊

[@michaelpina1858]

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

[@tomstockell9481]

Really great review thanks - reminds me why I love my bike so much

[@danielmcneil3004]

As a lover of classic style bikes, the Classic 350 ticks all the boxes for me. Beautiful to look at and perfect for exploring the B roads and not trying to set land speed records. Thanks for the final word review. Love that bike. Cheers. Dan 🏍✌️🇨🇦

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.

[@TooniMe]

In India we prefer royal Enfield over any bike for long way journeys and they last long... Even 10 or 15 years old royal Enfield works fine

[@talknroll6499]

Perfect bike! I got one and after 30 years of riding various motorcycles, I can honestly say that this is the bike that makes me really happy.

[@speedtriplerider7853]

Great round-up Ol' Man. As you said, for the right rider with the right approach it's a doozy of a bike. I think I might have said it before but if 'her indoors' was up for me having two bikes I would definitely get one of these to potter round the district on. I'm working on that but it's not looking too hopeful.
