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 .

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'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 😊

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.

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 🙂

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Gppd looking motorcycle, in my opinion, (I"m 5 ft 9). I used to have a Triumph Bonneville T100, and I miss that machine now I am almost 70. Love your video's.

A chill bike, not a honkey chonkey but definitely one of the best looking bikes out there. Nice for everyday commute and chill rides through countryside.

Hey man, your the first guy I found who actually appreciates the bike and understands its purpose in a foreign country. In India where the bike is based it has a huge following and I personally love it as I two have a Royal Enfield Classic 350.

Hey Dracy, you can add an additional sump guard so that if by chance a few drops of oil leaks it will catch it and it will protect some amount of dirt,mud from sticking to the bottom part of the engine.

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 🏍✌️🇨🇦

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

Many people don't understand the allure of a single cylinder engine with a big, heavy crankshaft. The low down thumping sound and punchy feel. Low horsepower is par for the course. Royal Enfield could probably re engineer it to have 40bhp but it would rev like a KTM390 and the bike would feel horrible and lose all it’s charisma. Having said that, a new 500 Classic would be the icing on the cake 😁

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.

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!

my dad had this when i was 3 year old,...i used to ride this as a 11 year old kid,.. even school kids can ride this,.. suggest you to fix mud guard flaps,... made of rubber sheets/ you could cut small rubber rectangles from car tubes/ any thick rubber sheets,.. fix on mudguards,... so water, mud does not splash under the engines,... riders legs, shoes. from the rear wheel , to the rider's rear,... on wet roads,.

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 👋😁

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. 👍
