Donkey the Royal Enfield Classic 350 Reborn - New Channel Bike

It's finally time to introduce Donkey, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 Reborn and also the new Classic Rides bike.

But nobody panic, he's not here to replace Silvie the T120, she's still my main bike and will be around in videos for a long time to come. The Classic 350 is here to simply take some of the load off the T120, so all those miles from local adventures don't need to accumulate on the Bonnie.

This video is just a short introduction to the bike, normal videos will be back very soon. I must give a big thanks to @thebingleywheeler for the suggestion of the perfect area to have my inaugural ride on the Classic 350, the Nidderdale Valley and the Royal Enfield are a perfect match.

I hope you enjoyed this short film; if you did, please check out some of my other videos and I hope that you'll leave a Like or consider Subscribing to the channel.

Matt.

I have a Triumph Thruxton 900 2016 and had 2 of them over 8 years. I bought a Classic 500 Enfield 2 years ago with 1600 miles on it and in those 2 years I've ridden the Enfield more than the Thruxton and now have 7600 miles on the Enfield. It's such a different ride and so enjoyable. Some people might think it's a slow bike and they're right to some degree, however, it took me back to my 50cc days at 16. Once you accept that it only plods along and accept the leisurely ride, you end up seeing the beautiful scenery. I don't think I'll get rid of my Enfield now, it's far too much fun and enjoyable to ride round on. Anyone who is debating a single modern classic all I say is, go take one for a test ride. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

I got the same RE 350 chrome / bronze version for two years now. Dreambike, it really is.

I rented a classic in India for a month back in 2016, I fell in love.

[jjstuartonwriting]

That's my dream, to ride a 350 classic with saddle bags to a nice quiet spot, take out a lunch, a notepad and pen, and do some writing.

[thebingleywheeler]

Thanks for the mention Matt and glad you enjoyed a sunny Nidderdale. The Classic 350 gets under your skin and stays there and as you said is the perfect bike to explore these landscapes. Lovely videography as always. All the best, Dave

Had mine (red&chrome) for 2 years and still love its soul and character wrapped in a true retro machine

Oh what a joy to watch and listen to this video! Good peacefull, sunny music together with the sound of this thumper. What a beautiful bike in a beautiful landscape. Nice little bird!Thanks.

I’m so pleased Matt. Your bike is the same as my Bronze Chrome and I’m just delighted with it. After an 18 year break from riding it’s been the perfect re-introduction to something which has become my passion. It always puts a smile on my face. I recently did the DGR and although I was surrounded by much more expensive classic bikes, mine received so many compliments. Enjoy it sir. Oh, and by the way, your panniers suit it perfectly 👌🏼

[BulletBeena]

Beautiful addition mate. Although I disagree - it's not the prettiest bike available right would be the black and gold Bullet 350 😉

[JLo]

What a beautiful bike.
A beautiful video too Matt, cheered me up no end, many thanks.

[MrDiegoMieres]

Yeyyy. Amazing. What a beautiful bike you got there! The color scheme is a delight. The stump of that engine/exhaust is just superb. All the best! Enjoy Donkey!!!!

[anuraagghosh]

Amazing choice.
One of my favourite colour.

[EastboundDwn]

Great intro to Donkey! You definitely have the best of both worlds to cruise around those lanes.

[Anuj.Rastogi]

Just a joy to watch your videos brother, keep it up. Fantastic bike with fantastic shots indeed. I can only imagine the amount of effort you must put in shooting, fab work.

[garycunningham]

I've got exactly the same colour, best bike I've ever owned, I get numb bum, on most bikes after about an hour. Just come back to Cambridgeshire from Scarborough, 4 hours using calimoto, no numb bum, standerd seat, I've had a few enfields and for me this is the best. Enjoy donkey he grow on you more and more 👍

[markpinnington]

Well done Matt....such a great looking motorcycle. The colour is magic...60's hotrod comes to mind.
I'll have to check them out
Cheers for sharing
