Royal Enfield Classic 350 - Long Ride- Why? - Pt 2 Wahoo!

[@GaryShellberg]

You did a good job of describing why we love this bike so much. There is something spiritual about riding this bike, it evokes a connection with the distant past. It transports you back to simpler times when life was fresh and exciting and innocent. You feel the gentle throb of the engine and hear the mellow note of the muffler, a gentle breeze in your face and the scents of the country side stimulate your memory. If this isn't heaven then it's the next thing to it!! Get yourself one!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

You've said it all. She is a nifty little bike. Wahoo!

[@ruahinesrider]

Nifty 3thrifty Paddington is. Paddington is the unofficial name for brown 350Classic named by Allyearmotorcyclist. Great colour my favorite Paddington brown.

[@sourav6339]

spiritual really 😭🤔😭

[@pinkiewerewolf]

You never see a Royal Enfield Classic 350 parked outside a psychiatrist’s office. Unless the Doc rides to work. 😉

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love it!

[@WOLFIE-96B-UK]

The style, sound and soul of the Bullet takes me back to the halcyon days of my youth. The perfect time machine!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

She is a beauty!

[@mockbattles]

Halcyon colour-ways.

There is an ever growing, world wide love affair going on with the little Classic 350. I get more views of my rides on the Classic 350, than I do on my Interceptor 650, so I guess it is now more popular than the brilliant 650 twin. I can see you having one before long, as you have put so much thought into the style “you would have”. All the best.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love that Interceptor, want to do a long ride on the 650 GT and...bought myself a Classic 350 a few days ago.... Motorcycling is an addiction we can live with. Wahoo!

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

@@forgottenmotorcycles absolutely, and Royal Enfield’s have an reflect on your soul. When I first bought my 350, I questioned whether I had made a mistake. It didn’t take me long to realise what an absolute masterpiece it is. Enjoy your Classic 350, I wish you all the best.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

@@ianhughesroyalenfield no mistake, the 350 RE is a winner 🏆. However, the super meteor looks darn tasty 😋 we don't have those here yet.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

@@forgottenmotorcycles I am not a fan of feet forward, but many satisfied owners 👌

[@larrywhorley9440]

You asked why a 70 year old man would want this bike. Well, I'll be 77 in August, never ridden a bike yet I have a Halcyon Green sitting my garage, waiting on me to take my new rider course. I'm as excited as a 10 year old on Christmas eve. I've got my helmet, gloves, boots and pants; haven't decided on a jacket yet. MY bike has a windshield, sump guard, rear rack and crash bars. Actually, it's too pretty to ride!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Congratulations! These are wonderful machine.

[@RiverRat1953]

Hey pops, I am 70 years old and I am in my 51st year of riding, I think that it is really cool that you are taking up motorcycling! Take the rider’s course, you will pick up some good pointers. Ride safe and enjoy your classic 350!😊

[@larrywhorley9440]

@gerardwashack7097 I came to realize I can't balance a bike at my age so I'm selling My Classic. It breaks my heart as I dearly love it

[@RiverRat1953]

@@larrywhorley9440 I am really sorry to read your post. It is good that you know your physical limitations. I hope that you continue to enjoy your life and hope you the best!

[@ttblade]

I've owned 20+ bikes of all kinds since 1977 including a Honda C50, Yamaha RD200, CBR600, Firestorm 998, Tuono 1000, BMW1200RS, HD1200 Sportster and currently a Ducati Monster 937 and my Halcyon Green Classic 350. Why do I ride the 350? Because I can! It's the bike I get out of the garage for everything except motorways and fast group rides. What's not to love? Looks beautiful, rides brilliantly and feels organic.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love my Classic 350. Rode it about 260 miles today. Wahoo!

[@Lee-70ish]

Great as usual mate. Beautifully built bikes at any price and near zero Tupperware . For me speed and perfomance ( done that) comes second to looks & recapturing here in the UK the golden age of 60s biking when bikes had Soul and heart . People always show interest in these gorgeous looking little 350s. Red and Chrome was my choice . But as you say you have a kaleidoscope range to pick from Had a 2 month wait none in stock and that was a nation wide dealer with 10 branches. These are selling like hot cakes Removed the rear seat and pegs waiting for a chrome solo rack. Do my own servicing as I dont trust dealers. Won't say Wahoo But will say Whizzo my friend.😂 Lee

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love that Chrome & Red Classic. Wahoo!

[@brettroman3218]

You hit the nail on the head Mate! Thank you!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Very nice motorcycle!

[@steveeldred6968]

Great video, gorgeous looker. How about a video getting your old mates and bikes together for a park up at your favourite bike Cafe or Pub and see where the public reaction goes. I've got 43,000, trouble free ,K's on my somewhat modded Conty, still gets lost of attention. Steve.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Sounds like a great idea. Will have to work on that, for sure. 43k km on your Classic. Very impressive!

[@critterIMHO]

I would go for the signals edition as well. Not sure if I prefer green or tan.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I'm thinking Tan...Great motorcycle!

[@robmcmillian3264]

Love your vids. Enfield is coming out with a classic 650 next year wahooo

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thanks! I hope they do...Wahoo!

[@jamesharvey44]

The ECM is limited by the ABS brakes to 75 MPH. I have the Desert Signals version and I use mine on the freeway. It will cruse at 70 all day long (even done it two up). Best decision I have made was to buy it. The windscreen looks period correct on the machine and the canvas bags are great and also look correct on the bike. If you do buy the bike, and decide on the crash bar, get the black one.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

She is a beautiful motorcycle. Baxter Cycle currently does not have the Desert Signals bike I want but have some coming. If I'm lucky I may get one. One great motorcycle. Wahoo!

[@PhilipBallGarry]

I think the J Series engine was always intended for the Reborn Classic 350 but because of the huge following for the Bullet, Royal Enfield wanted to make sure they got the styling spot on and took their time to get it right. In the meantime they gave us the Meteor?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I'm gonna agree. Thinking the Classic market was a sure thing so the Meteor was reveled first. Meteor is a fine bike. Love the J engine. Wahoo!

[@astro61362]

I have a Meteor 350. Your "spiritual" description applies to that bike too!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Agreed! Love that bike too and am trying to get myself on a black one next week. Wahoo!

[@ruahinesrider]

Great bike the 350Classic & in Paddington brown my favorite colour. Great second bike or if you're downsizing.Can't wait till the Classic 650 with straight pipes & Showa forks & premium fit & finish like the Super Meteor 650.Pity Southern hemisphere didn't get those new Interceptor/Gt with Alloys & 350 switchgear etc. It's a Wahoo motorcycle Fuzzy.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I'd love to see the new Interceptors!

[@ruahinesrider]

@@forgottenmotorcycles I think 🤔 they're European release only but you never know.Interceptor with Alloys & Meteor style switchgear nice.All they need is the Showa forks & fit & finish like the Super Meteor. A Classic 650 is on the cards in next couple of years.R.E saving Classic 650 till last cause they know it be a big seller & hopefully be the best yet it similar to Super Meteor with Showa forks & premium fit & finish. Mmmmm can't wait bring that on a Classic 650 Showa forks premium fit & finish Wahoo ×10.

[@keepitshortnsweet]

In the surfing world there is a certain type of surfer referred to as a, "soul surfer"; the Classic 350 appeals to "a certain type" of motorcyclist.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I may have to steal that for this bike - Soul Bike or Biker. Thanks!

Alpha rhythm beat. The dial nasal is heart shaped.

Why do you constantly rest your index finger on the brake lever?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Had not noticed that. I must be watching out for deer. They are thick in these parts.

Bullet Classic Meteor 350 all do the best job under 5000.$$. No need to spend 20k
