Sorry for the Click Bait Peeps. I've got to play KZbin at its own game and get people to watch the content. I just want to say that I enjoyed the Royal Enfield and will probably get some more rides in, and the guys at Haywards were very friendly.Keep riding and stay safe.

I have also seen a lot of oldies ie over 60 or 70 year olds buying them as they remind themselves of their youth. When in my teens I rode a BSA B40 350 cc machine. single pot and it would just about do 70 mph one up and 75 mph two up or more down hill or wind assisted. Those were the days. The glory days. but it refused to brake with 2 up. So as the brakes work on the R.E. I am thinking that it would be a bike for me very soon.

Hi from Australia. I own two high powered motorcycles that are not really built for commuting in a built up city. So I bought a 350 Classic to commute. The dealer commented I would find it underpowered and not like it after the bikes I own. He was wrong. I love riding it and it is the best bike around town and in traffic. Looks great and easy to maintain and FUN TO RIDE.

[@sissonsk]

I live in Texas and we have thousands of miles of back roads which the RE Classic is perfect for. The seat is incredibly comfortable and it has enough weight to make the ride smooth. The Classic, due to its anemic performance, does not belong on freeways or highways. If you are looking for torque and speed, the Classic is not going to make you happy. If you are looking for a laid-back riding experience on lonely back roads, then the Classic will make you very happy. I'm still "running" mine in and cannot wait to take it on a 200-mile trip in the future.

[@GrampsD63]

Last October I bought a Chrome/Bronze Classic. Because of the break in suggested I almost returned it the first week. It was an excruciatingly painful process. But now that I have 2500 miles on her she just hums along. I live in Southern California where to get anywhere you have to hop on the freeways with traffic, if it is moving, is as high as 85 mph. After a few mods she will easily get out and do 65 mph no problem. But I'm telling ya that riding a new bike is nowhere near riding a broken in one. The constant complaints from the reviewers about breaks, suspension and all are completely absent because until about 1200 miles the bike just not up to it's capabilities. I can throw her around the twistys up in the local mountains and the hills in Orange County and LA with ease, so the tire thing is also a load of bull. CEAT is a division of Pirelli just as ByBre is a division of Brembo. And my other bike is a CBR1000RR so I know what a bike should handle like, having ridden sportbikes for 40 years. The Classic is really a diamond in the rough. Thanks for the video! Cheers from LA 🏖

[@JimDiesel71]

Hi, Thanks for the comment and info about your bike.

[@ReRiderChi]

You are 💯 % right; after 1200 miles mine seems to get better each run. Cheers from Chicago

[@PhilipBallGarry]

The break in period is definitely a frustrating process but it's worth it. The demo bike we took out was a bit vibey. Probably because it'd been thrashed from zero miles - conversely ours is really smooth. Just approaching 1000 miles now and it gets better and better 👍

Down sized from a Kawasaki 900 to a chrome classic 350 Brakes? Ride old school front and back application braking works fine especially when bedded in same as the CEAT tyres. Been riding since 1969 . Best single pot road bike I've ever ridden . And for a long stroke its incredibly smooth. Touring? done that on a Honda 50 so no sweat on a 350 just avoid motorways which I always do anyway. Bloody ultra boring roads to ride.

[@mikefule]

A small bike ridden at or 90% of what it can do is far more fun than a big bike ridden at 30% of what it can do. My happiest biking memories and best adventures were on a 250 single 2 stroke. Sit on it for long enough and you can get anywhere, and it's so much cheaper to run. A bike that can do 150mph needs tyres rated for that speed, even though you never do it on the road. I have a Guzzi V7 and my next bike may be an Enfield. EDIT: I actually decided against the Enfield because I didn't like the dealer. Ended up with a Triumph 660 Tiger Sport. Although it is capable of high speed, it rides very nicely and smoothly within 30 and 40 mph limits too.

I did a 1000km trip around Nepal two-up on a Classic 350 a couple of months ago. I ride a Bullet 500 at home. As expected, the Classic has way less pick up, and I found it needed to be in first on any kind of up hill. But that's fine in a country where the speed limit is between 20 and 40 kmph. Any faster and you'd be picked up by a speeding bus. I have a playlist of our near death experiences. I think the Classic is a fine elegant and smooth ride. It made me feel like a gentleman, whereas the Bullet makes me feel like a bit of a wrongen.

We looked at the Meteor 350 as well but that was a little too compact for two.

Nope, but clipping around the lanes on it is great fun - it makes a lovely sound, makes old geezers on the side of the road wave as I go by, and I've been all over the South Downs, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Essex and Kent on it for weekends away with absolutely no problems at all. In fact, the last time I took it touring, it ended up being the donkey taking all of my mate's luggage, after his supposedly versatile Honda CB decided it didn't like having things strapped to its rear seat! No bother for little Enfield - it chugged along merrily.

Texas here!! Been looking at these !

Decent mudguards to keep the road dirt off you, nice size wheels, and a decent overall size so much better than those BMW tings, where the owners stand on the footrests looking cool ( not)

You didn't walk around the bike and talk about the whole bike and get a close-up of the bike!

The world's worst bike is Brixton... Believe me, I have 125CC and I know, nothing but rust everywhere and within the first year, very disappointing... Only good thing about it is that it's economical.

If I didn't have such a long commute, and could get to work in a somewhat comparable timeframe on back roads, I would have a Royal Enfield 350 (maybe not the Classic, but there are other models with the same engine) on my list to get.

[@kevindarkstar]

There are always back roads you can take 😉

[@tileproplus]

Why would anyone buy anything else?
