2022 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Road Review, LAMS Approved Classic Motorcycle BikeReview.com.au

The Classic 350 returns in 2022 with an all new ground-up design. Everything from the frame to the styling is brand new. The updated model has just rolled onto showroom floors in Australia. Zane headed out to the Aussie launch in Mickleham to check it out!.

Borrowing the new 350cc air-cooled single from the Meteor 350, the updated Classic 350 looks to impress with it's easy rideability and historic inspired styling.

Starting at $7,990 rideaway, the updated model has a plethora of styling and colour options to choose from. It's the perfect option for new riders buying their first bike or seasoned riders looking for an easy to ride, run around bike.

Head to the Royal Enfield Australia website for all the tech info and order page here:

I purchased one yesterday. Been riding road bikes since 1988 and trail bikes much earlier than that. The brakes on the demo model were absolutely fine. I found the suspension to be well suited to Australian roads and I was able to rail corners with confidence. The heavier weight somehow works. The demo was easily able to sit on 110kmph. I don't think I have ever put a leg over a more easy to ride motorcycle. It's definitely a bike that you have to discard the spec sheet, it's somehow more than that. I plan on light touring mine.

tacky item? a kick starter?never been caught in the outback with a dud battery, have you.

[spiritofe]

People buy Royal Enfields for emotional reasons. Spec sheet is irrelevant.

[twpsyn]

as someone with an older classic 500, I can say the kick-starter is not useless! has saved me from a dying battery, starter and corroded push starter wire many times. I was sad to see them get rid of it on the new model

[patricksandeberg]

The break issue can be improved with a better break pad.

[nikitis]

All easy upgrades. Sprockets, pads, and perhaps a free flow intake/exhaust and ECU tune and TA-DAH! gripes are gone... No bike comes out of the box ready to please every person. We could pick holes in everything including high end European money pits. Ride it like you stole it and if you're grinning you're winning.

[danz]

I think you misunderstood the bike, completely.

most loved motorcycle in sells 1 million motorcycles every year

Great review, though don't agree with you though that it's not for motorcycle nuts, motorcycling is a broad church. This little machine has plenty to offer.

[kshred]

'Like the unnecessary kickstarter'. Mate, IMHO, you're dead wrong on that one. You should have said, 'like getting rid of the unnecessary electric starter'. Kick starting a bike like this is an essential part of the ritual.  
What's next ? Get get rid of the gear box and put in an automatic transmission ? (corrected from manual, which was obviously an error on my part).
Apart from that glaring error, great review. 👍

[ferdaaydin]

Without kickstart this kind of bikes useless....

[jimmyw]

This has to be the worst review of this bike I have seen so far. The young bloke is still very obviously in the ego driven small capacity bikes are only for learners stage.
I don’t own one or intend on buying one, but this take on the 350 Classic made me cringe.

[Lee-ish]

This was not built as a first bike .
It was built for the massive asian market which need a simple to diy maintain.

[benaplokcampandgo]

I'm really dying to buy this. But no money. How sad

[MauriceTarantulas]

Very tempted to get one as my first bike after test🤞

[gaza]

A good first bike 60 years ago, and a fabulous last bike. I want one. 🤩

[chaindrive]

Great review. You’ve made it abundantly clear that you cannot understand this motorcycle. This was never designed to be a bang for the buck, nor be compared with the likes of Yamaha mt03 type of motorcycles. It has a strange emotional connect that I don’t get to experience on my Triumph Trident.

[johnwillard]

I ordered the halcyon gray , for its looks .

[IndianMusic.shorts]

RE is all about emotions and not about spec sheet this bike is not a speed monster..

[HemanthKumarJadhav]

It is a character bike. I have a classic 350 2014 model and a Thunderbird 2016 model.
