This is my honest 5 Months / 5000 km review of the Royal Enfield Classic 350 Reborn

I have now had my Royal Enfield 350 for 5 months and done 5000 kms on it. My previous experience is from 20+ years of riding many bikes. Small and big. The Classic has been subject of several modifications, like a full stage one performance upgrade. I have toured on it, alone and with passenger. I have commuted, done short afternoon trips. Taken it to the mountains, the city and the countryside. This review is my honest opinion.

[@markymarknj]

As a Meteor 350 owner, I agree! I'm 60 years old, so I have no need or desire to go fast anymore; I just want to enjoy the ride, and the new Royal Enfields help you do just that... :)

[@MotoMorten]

Indeed 😊

[@markymarknj]

@@MotoMorten we have local back roads near my house. The Meteor was perfect for my ride yesterday... :)

[@pennsyltuckyden9823]

Hey I'm 62 and I still like to go fast, so when I want a little speed, I take out my Bonnie but when I want to take it easy, I take out my 350. These days you will most likely find me on the 350, I just love this bike.

Everybody is pointing out it's low power output as a con, while praising it's vintage soul and that it wants you to cruise. That low power is why it's so old feeling and calm. It's a pro for me.

Thanks for the review.I agree with your thoughts on the bike. Perfect bike for you and your girlfriend to enjoy time on. You have a beautiful country with lots of places to explore and visit at a relaxed pace. I had a short wonderful visit way back in 1985. We thought it often looked similar to here in New Zealand. I'm getting the same bike soon. I can not wait! Those bar end mirrors look like they would be a good mod. My last bike I owned was a 1976 Yamaha RD 350( last of spoke wheels before the RD 400 came out ) so it makes sense that my next bike would be a RE 350 !! Same but different !! My RD was like me at the time high revving hold on tight ride with 1 eye open to see where the traffic cops were..... I am now a chilled out Reborn Classic old dude with an ever increasing Chrome dome 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[@ZenFloater]

I have found Stuart Fillingham video's to be most informative, most genuine and honest. His reviews of Royal Enfield bikes are all great. I give Stuart - HIGH PRAISE - in his work covering the J series Royal Enfield Classic 350 motorcycle. Being an older American who's been riding a Harley Davidson FLHT Ultra Glide tourer, I have been pushed, motivated to trade that bike in for a Classic 350. There have been a multitude of video's made by a multitude of different reviewers, mostly British reviewers, which have pushed me to commit to making the switch in 2024 for a new bike. My problem is my FLHT weighs ove 800 lbs wet and with two up and gear it can top 1,400 lbs on the scale and that's too much weight for an old man. I also don't do two up touring anymore or long distance touring in general. I want ti known, here and now, there is absolutely NO PROBLEM with my 2010 Ultra Glide, it's the perfect highway touring machine for the two up task. I have had no mechanical difficulties with this bike at all. It's just simply too heavy for me at my age. As a younger man, it was a challenge and today it's just scaring me to take the bike out anymore. So, shedding 450 lbs weight would be a great help. A bike which who's wet weight was only 430 lbs sounds much more reasonable to me. And anymore, I'm just pudding around at 55 to 60 mph going down two lane roads anyway. I'm thinking of getting a Classic with the following options. I think I would like to have a clear fairing mounted. I would like soft yet waterproof saddlebags. I would like an engine guard as well as a crash bar mounted also. Perhaps I should consider also putting a rack on back for luggage. My thoughts are, I would like to be able to take the saddle bags off the bike in order to give offspring rides during my visits to their homes. I have started talking to a dealer and he has informed me that on October 21 there will be Royal Enfield corporate people there to allow us to test drive all their bikes as the new Super Meteor will be made available in the United States. I plan on attending that. I had considered a side car be mounted to the Ultra Glide which would solve the fear of falling over parking the bike but realized the cost of a side car would exceed the cost of just buying a whole new Classic 350 bike. I just found out today that you can actually bump start a Classic 350 from second gear. I could never BUMP START the Ultra Glide as getting 900 lbs of bike rolling at 5 mph to try it would cause my heart to stop. The durability of the Classic 350 crossing mountain paths in India, going down rocky and dusty roads around maountains was inspiring to me and am not sure I would even attempt something like this with the large Harley. Between the Hunter,, Meteor and Classic, I've found out the Classic has the greatest ground clearance and apparently the best stopping power due to being the heaviest bike of the three models. Yet, at the same time the Classic was the slowest, poorest performer of the three models of J 350's. None-the-less, I am not deterred by this fact as the Classic get's the same fuel mileage as the others. A 200 mile range is great. I've learned that the stock seats are the best for long distance trips. The stock tires are good. I would actually encourage anyone wishing to throw advice my way to do so, either publicly on this threat of privately via yahoo email, pre-name the same as on youtube. As with Harley Davidson, there is a HUGE CATALOG of accessories and mods which can be purchased for the Royal Enfield Classic 350 bike available which is encouraging. The 3 year, unlimited mileage warranty was just OUTSTANDING for a motorcycle. The number of people providing testimony to the utter durability of the J series is just incredible! I have also come to realize that post my warranty, I could install a performance cam shaft , air intake, fuel management system and performance exhaust, and even change out the chain sprockets to allow the bike to do 85 mph, which is a consideration for sure. Anyway, I will conclude. Stuart, I wanted to thank you personally for the work you've done here promoting this platform, it has been most compelling for me. You should be commended for your work here and I can't thank you enough. I think in 2024 I will own a chrome Classic. I'm just not sure what color to get as I'm afraid the RED color skeme might fade out over time. I'm wondering of brown or grey might be a better choice. I think you Stiart for allowing me to post my thoughts here on this matter and will continue to post my progress on this change over as things happen. Wouldn't it be great Stuart, if they did make a new, modern 500 CC , single for a whole new platform? Perhaps you wouldn't agree with me on that. Perhaps you'd like to see them adapt the 400 CC version they already have or even make a 650 twin piston version of the Classic. My only hangup about the 650 was it was getting heavy again. The 650 feels heavy , the interceptor does feel heavy to me which I set on it. A 500 would have the H.P. we could use in America but without the extra 110 lbs weight at 650 brings. Good Job Stuart and thanks again. Sincerely, Charlie

[@leftymadrid]

Really enjoyed this review! Yes, the bike is beautiful, I myself have previously had the Ducati 906, and the KZ900, also a 650 Kawasaki... Before I liked a different pace on motorcycles. But I have found that with a not so powerful bike you can cruise to no end, enjoy the scenery much more ... I love the Royal Enfield Classic, it is gorgeous! The look, the sound, and built like a tank, dependable. I agree with you about the best speeds to go at with this wonderful bike. To be able just to cruise, in a comfortable position on that "modern classic" is heaven I bet! Definitely my next bike, I live in Europe and would love to travel with this beauty for sure ... Most importantly, that fact that it is pretty much a simple engine, and simple bike making it perfect for one to do their own maintenance, and service is king in my book. Thx for such a pleasant review!!

Royal Enfields are such a great deal in India. Price, parts, service, etc. plus you can customized order from factory. Out the door in the USA ("on the road" in India I believe) for my Chrome Red was $6,005.31. May I ask what it cost you in India? My guess ~264000 ruppee. You (in India) also get first 4 services free of labor charges, correct?

[@steevevinson]

@@trevorlittle225 yea came up to be 280000rs, which included additions like pillion seat back rest, sump guard, crash guard and extended warranty. Yea service labor is free for the 1st couple pf services and maintenance is cheap . My brother got the interceptor 650 recently and i must say my rides more comfy and stylish compared, even tho the 650 beats it terms of power. Cheers !!!

[@MotoMorten]

Thanx ☺️. Generally Norwegian cops dont either. But if it is not too loud, and the bike is vintage like the Classic, they tend to look past it. Also I have a little baffle/db killer installed, so it is not entirely free flow.

[@genegoodwin8925]

The red and chrome is the best looking Classic 350 by far. I love the looks of the bike and I did sit on one at a dealership and like the upright seating position. A few years ago I ride a Classic 500 with a side car and it was a lot of fun. But I live in the states and I'm afraid I would be too disappointed witht the lack of power. I know it would provide a very relaxed ride on the backroads, but in the states we ride the highways a lot to get where we want to go in a hurry and I'm afraid that's where I would be so disapponted. Love the bike, just afraid of the lack of power.

[@MotoMorten]

Most definitely. I have done exactly that climb with her on, and others too 😁

[@aussietramp]

@@MotoMorten thanks man..I guess you choosed for me then ;)

[@ashishtembhurnikar7329]

Please take leg guard

[@SwordsmanXB12Ss]

I'm honestly a little upset that yours is so much quiet than mine. I've got 1700 miles on it, and it rattles SO BAD I'm thinking about selling already. 😢

[@MotoMorten]

The new 350s (ReBorn, Meteor, HNTR) should not rattle. Then something is wrong.

[@kevindarkstar]

If you want to get it breathing better, maybe consider the de-cat pipe and dna performance air filter, makes it more responsive and more torque, just a thought 👍🏻 stay safe 😉

[@MotoMorten]

Thx. I have both, and it works great 😁

[@kevindarkstar]

@@MotoMorten oh yeah, right sorry I didn't realise, and which decat did you get and how did you find it after the change, any issues ?

[@MotoMorten]

@@kevindarkstar no issues. Just better breathing and performance 😊

[@kevindarkstar]

@@MotoMorten and which on did you get, was it just a straight decat pipe, like hickcocks or something like the red rooster exhaust from India?

[@MotoMorten]

I got both the pipe and muffeler from Saumya Customs on ebay. Works and sound great. The bike is more peppy and easier to rev. Responsive, yes. Not sure if the torque actually changed. I have not dynoed it 🙂

[@siddarths7955]

What exhaust are u using?? 🤔🤔

[@MotoMorten]

I am using a K Indori from Saumya Customs. Made a separate video on it. Which also have the link.

You got everything spot on. Tell me is RE 350 classic now your only motorcycle? I as all year rider think this chrome version is better not riden in winter months..black mat version would be better choise for me I gues. Only if I finde good m+ s tires.

[@MotoMorten]

It is my only Motorcycle (except a 1990 Vespa PX 200 scooter). I however only ride it in good weather. Also Norwegian winters are full of snow and road salt, so it will get a 5 month storage soon 🥺

[@simunic79]

@@MotoMorten I do not think that I could handle 5+ month without riding a motorcycle 🤯🤕🤒, it is my only anti stress activity. 😇😁

[@goldenm24race]

Nice sound & review. Plz enjoy my New classic 350 Custom vid too. Thx.

[@MotoMorten]

Thx. I will :-)

[@mockbattles]

You neglected to mention awesome fuel economy.

[@MotoMorten]

True. It doesent use much soup 😅

[@rubbersidedown7992]

Facing overheat ?

[@MotoMorten]

No, not a problem. Norway is not the warmest county tough 😅

[@rubbersidedown7992]

Yes a lil comforting warmth isnt bad... But gen theres some ovr heating, which settles aftr about 2 -2.5k km.

[@ThePlough1978]

Meteor, classic or hunter ... I simply can't decide... 😱 In the meantime I'm stuck on a 2006 Honda Wave 🥴 *Crap Game*

[@MotoMorten]

Classic for style, HNTR for practicality, Meteor for ... ?

[@ThePlough1978]

@@MotoMorten Concur.. 90% my driving will be around Chiang Mai, you've helped me narrow it down.... Classic Vs Hunter.. 🤔 Hunter edging it in my mind.. . *Crap Game*

[@MotoMorten]

@@ThePlough1978 if uncertain, go for HNTR!

[@ThePlough1978]

@@MotoMorten The Hunter it will be. Hired a Classic (black stealth) yesterday... Nice but the Hunter the better fit for mainly urban driving... Classic felt just a little bit less well put together... Maybe I just got a lemon though. Still felt nowhere near as flickable for around town use. *Crap Game*

[@wingwang007]

You seem to lug the motor some.

[@MotoMorten]

It's a lugging motor, bro 🤣

[@wingwang007]

@@MotoMorten what does that even mean, bruh? Explain.

[@bluecollarmark]

I don’t know, bike is just way too small for 1, never mind 2. But then again Americans are used too much larger bikes.

[@MotoMorten]

It is roomy enough, but the engine is small - also by Norwegian standards 😅

[@generalpattonpending7256]

would have rather heard the 350 than the dam music

[@MotoMorten]

I understand. There are more engine sound in some of my other videos (but also music I am afraid) 😅

[@neoclassic5669]

I think the mix of music and the engine was perfect with good editing.

[@MotoMorten]

@@neoclassic5669 thanx. That is nice. I do my best ☺️
