Which one? Bullet or Classic? The Royal Enfield 350 Differences Compared…

Today I put Head to head the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Bullet 350 to see what the real differences are and is the bullet worthy of the legendary name?
We have also done full and thorough reviews of each of these bikes on the channel:
Bullet 350 review: • NEW Royal Enfield Bull...
Classic 350 review: • Long Term Review | Roy...
Both of these motorcycles are truly fantastic machines, the character from the 350cc single cylinder engine is immense, the beauty and classic styling and something to behold. They carry their British heritage with pride with a new lease of life from India.

I chose the new Bullet primarily because of the seat. Both are great bikes but for me comfort for rider & pillion is paramount

[@kumarsuneet7070]

All Bullets are Royal Enfields but not all Royal Enfields are Bullets. If you are purist just that pinstriping on the tank is reason enough to buy one. And that made me buy the Bullet 500 , seven years ago.

Just bought a classic 350, first mod was a touring seat (more padding only £70) and a rack that replaced the pillion seat... what a special little bike, handles superbly, obviously not a lot of power, but for back road's its perfect

i like that RE is adding so much variety. i get why people are annoyed at there being 'too' many 350's now. my way of thinking about it is that its just like going to select your bike and seeing a bunch of different options, rather than just a few different paint schemes. I try not to think of them as a separate bikes in essence, just great variety that manages to cover all bases of people.

Half the fun of owning a Royal Enfield is polishing it and answering questions when parked so the Classic wins this competition. Neither are A1 tourers so polished metal and chrome has to be the best.

Any Indian? ❤

I found it uncomfortable where the Bullet seat spreads/widens from the narrow nose to the full width, it spreads too quickly and results in a ridge that digs into the leg just forward of the buttock. Mr D’s long legs might be lifting his knees so that this ridge doesn’t dig into him, but riders of average height might not like this aspect of the Bullet seat. Which, by the way, I don’t think is a visual match for the rest of the bike. Cheers

It’s a tough decision, I like the clean look of the bullets fuel tank, but I prefer the rear fender of the classic. Fork to my nose I think I’d pick the bullet

As a indian in like classic 350 model bike

[@egonolsen6970]

I bought the classic in September last year after seeing your and other positive reviews about it. A really wonderful motorcycle! I chose the halcyon black color and can hardly wait for the break-in period to be over. I'm at 1500 km now, but now the German winter is slowing me down. But I can already say that the style, character, sound and handling of this bike are simply amazing! I'm really looking forward to spring with my great little royal enfield.

I had a Royal Enfield 250 crusader sports in the early 1960's. The red and chrome 350 classic has the same tank badge as that bike. The chrome tank was really cold to my legs on a cold morning riding to work.

I just saw a Classic RE on the street. I loved all the details and how professional and well done all the parts are. I have a Triumph Bonneville T100 that looks really good but not as good as the Classic RE. I think when I get older and the my C90T and my T100 feel too heavy I will move to the smaller Classic RE. It looks just amazing and well done to the smallest detail.

@5.25 classic in chrome bronze looks stunning

[@roverchap]

I bought a Classic in Bronze/Chrome, like your demonstrator, back in April 2022 when they arrived in the UK. Had there been a Bullet 350 available then I might have gone with it just for the heritage in the name. However the two models are technically identical and the Classic looks wonderful, especially in Bronze/Chrome. The Red/Chrome Classic seems to have sold more but when you compare the two side by side the Bronze paint has a beautiful metallic fleck in it, whereas the red is quite flat. The Classic rider seat is supremely comfortable for hours on end, the pillion seat is a little narrow but is separately detachable and could be swapped for a different type or a rack.

I own a 2022 interceptor 650 and just love it. However, I would love either of these. What a like about the classic though is the fact you can ride with just a single seat and it looks even cooler. But I also love the tank badges on the Bullet. So I guess I would buy both 😉! Thanks great post!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice vid as ever chaps - personally I'd have the classic, that Bullet seat just looks horrible to me (although I get that it may well be more comfy).....that said I would only likely use this type of bike for country lane ramblings of up to 50 miles in the summer, so big comfort isn't too much of a factor for me. Can't argue with the fun or value these bikes provide.....

[@wallybuettner]

Looking to buy the classic very soon. I like the polished engine, full mud guards, and two piece seat look. Great comparison and I especially liked the history points.

I am from India and I recently bought a Bullet 350 (red military) ❤. It's a charm, there are no major vibrations, very comfortable 😁 In India we have options from base (single channel ABS with rear drum) mid (dual channel ABS) and top end (black gold, one on your video). I personally felt the base version was more value for money. Will share my experiences further with you folks.

Excellent presentation of these lovely bikes 👍
