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

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.

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.

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. The crusader sports had a cush drive rear hub. Owing an Enfield helped me pass my motorcycle test, the examiner had a soft spot for Enfield bikes. The bike always brought good comments from the older generation who knew these bikes from the war. I may buy a 350 classic in red and chrome to remind me of my youth, even though I may be too old to ride it now.

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.....

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 went for a classic 350. The first reason for me to buy was the thought of tubeless tyres. If the classic’s tyre is punctured, I can just fill it with air unlike the bullet takes long time to refill the tube and all. I have the stealth black colour with a red strip on it. It looks really beautiful. Cruising at 40-80 gives the feel.

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.

Update after 9 months: 1. It's a charm to ride. 2. I ride it mostly in the city and it is super comfortable even in potholes and bad roads. 3. The full efficiency is not very impressive (33kmpl) in the city. 4. Not much vibrations, far more refined than the previous version. The J-series engine is superb The only down side is if you park in tight spaces or slight inclines you will get a good workout as it's heavy. But on riding the bike you don't really feel the weight.

I think RE have done a great job in giving customers choice if you are looking for a classic looking 350 bike. Personally I would go for the Classic as I would have the chrome finish and remove the Passenger pad to have a single seat look, if I wanted a more blacked out look I think the decision would be more difficult. To be fair I would be happy with either.

The Classic, delves further back in history from a stylistic standpoint, which to me personally is the point at this price point (too many points here perhaps).

Someone bellow commented on the actual price range for the Classic, £4459-4610 however they are available for £500 off at present due to the old distributor dumping their remaining stock (you can’t blame them) which my dealer says is buggering up the market, well at least for the dealers😢. Of course the non-blackout engines are polished aluminium not brushed or chrome or steel and they do require frequent polishing especially this time of year, I use Mothers polish with a polishing pad on a drill then spray with an engine protectant for winter riding. I’ve removed the cat and fitted a DNA filter and a FuelX Lite which as Darcy says gives it a lovely sound but more importantly a more willing and responsive engine. A touring seat and matching pillion look nicer than stock and more comfortable on longer rides, little difference on shorter though. Overall a nice little bike, easy to ride and handles pretty well but I would say it’s not all that engaging in the handling; I feel I bit detached unlike my W800 Cafe which make me feel it’s part of me; I never want the ride to end😅.

I want one if each, but im going to settle for the matte black bullet. Its begging for lots of miles and not much polishing or indoor parking. I love the classic looks and modern reliability the most. When i was young i did a ton of back road cruising and just enjoyed the little moments in life. I got into thousand mile trips at nearly 100mph the whole time, and thats gotten old. I long for the old days when small rides were an adventure. I think this bike will take me back.

They are very close indeed, and before the Bullet came out, the Classic was on my no3 short wish list. The Bullet made me reevaluate that list, but in the end i decided to stick with the classic for 2 purely aesthetic reasons. Well, one is semi-practical really. The former is the availability in chrome-bronze, which is the first case of a bike in brownish hews that i actually find appealing. The latter is the ability to swap the pillion seat for a very practical and visually classical looking rack. And if the comfort is the only issue (haven't really tried it yet), then changing the front seat is not a big deal too. I don't thing the Bullet's geometry allows for this.

Classic is better looking to my eyes. I'd make it even better by removing the pillion seat and fitting a rack. Too much chrome though. I'd rather pay more and have stainless brightwear as I can't see chrome taking long to turn orange in the UK. Prefer the rear mudguard on the Classic as well. I get that the Bullet's is authentic in giving a nod to the hinged mudguard on the old Redditch Bullets, but it doesn't flow as well or look as sleek as the Classic's and unless it has the function of being hinged I can't see the point of it. Saying that, I might like the Bullet more in the brushed ally rather than mat black engine finish. I do like the gloss black paint scheme on the bodywork though. Do they do a black Classic with a black seat? If so that would be my choice.

If the bullet had been out when I bought my signals models I may have gone with it. But either way you will not be disappointed at all 😊

You mentioned that the bars were, supposedly, a little different. Did you find that to be noticeable and, if so, how? Does the exhaust note sound the same? I took a test ride on the Classic last summer and found it to be solid and absolutely beautiful. Imagine that same bike in a 30+ hp 500cc version.

The bars felt the same tbh but apparently they’re different. And the exhaust is exactly the same. A 500 would be great!

I rode both and then bought a Classic. It was a tough decision though. The bullet seat is more plush and comfortable, and I could flat foot on the Bullet, which I can’t on the Classic (I’m 5 ft 9 in with a 31” inside leg). So it may have the edge for shorter riders. However I preferred the looks of the Classic with the pillion seat removed and a rack fitted in its place. I don’t think that is an option with the Bullet, because as far as I’m aware the seats are not interchangeable.

I'm curious to know if that bench seat will fit on the Classic, visually I can't see why not? Remove the bracketry on the Classic and fit the 2 allen bolts at the grab rail 😮

For years I rode a Matchless 500 single , very comphy low seat and balanced, but his kicker could get nasty, if you didn't use the comp release right. The Indians learned how to control the English overheating out in the southern colonies. I may well join the line for one of REs' 650's.

I have driven the Classic, but only sat on the Bullet. The Bullet seems more comfortable, and they have corrected the position of the toe shifter so that I can get my foot beneath it, which isn't possible on the Classic, since the pedal is too low.

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to offer the Meteor's heel-toe shifter on the Bullet or at least offer it as an option.

My pick is the Classic (with the Bullet seat). Maybe if I looked at all the Bullet colour schemes, I might change my mind and prefer a Bullet with a Classic seat (leave the pillion section off completely).

I'm surprised that the Bullet is more expensive than the classic, the Bullet has less bling than the Classic and it looks the cheapest to produce of the two. Having said that, if push came to shove, I'd go for the Bullet.

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.
