Your comments are spot on in terms of brand culture. I have had a long -held interest in Royal Enfields. I am glad obtaining a new one in the US has become a reality.

[GrampsD]

I ride a CBR1000RR and somehow just fell in love with the RE. A good friend had a C 500 a few years ago and got me interested. I was really hesitant as the C 350 is 160 hp less than the CBR and is a complete polar opposite but I gotta say I have never ridden a more enjoyable bike. It's such a pure motorcycle in an age when there is not much performance to be gained so the manufacturers are piling on the electric gizmos and whizbangs. Not here. Just a plain ol' scoot that harkens back to a simpler time.

I would never have guessed that I would enjoy this little bike so much. Not just riding it, but looking out my little office window and seeing it in the driveway makes me smile.
I took my wife to one of the local Indian markets for food, and while outside, I saw a woman staring at me, but almost like I was making her angry...she circled a few times and finally came over. She said she loved the bike and it reminded her of home! She then asked if she could take some pics, and of course, I welcomed her to do so. Then, another Indian fellow came out and thumbs-upped me and said that he was a Triumph rider, but loved the Royal Enfield Classic 350.
If you don't like talking to people, don't buy one. Everywhere you go, you'll get stopped and that's the fun!
Most think it's from the 50's/60's, and when I say, no, it's a 2022 they are shocked. Then, I lay the price on them and they can't believe it.
I'm lucky that I'm out here in loony California, since I can ride year-round. Looking forward to the Gerbing heated vests (7v with battery) as even here, it gets cold!

Ride Safe 🙏🏼

G'day Ronin from Australia, always enjoy seeing your countryside as it differs from ours, ours is uniquely different and great to travel through, every modern Royal Enfield hits a high economy mark and pleasant ride quality, even the 1970 500cc bullet I have surprises me, weather today, rain showers and a temperature of 22C/72F, make hay while the sun shines as weather stops for no man, cheers mate, Neil S.

[ScooterintheSticks]

Of the items you have listed, the one that resonates loudest for me is the "Miles of Smiles." My Himalayan provides that and I'm sure the Classic 350 will as well whenever I convince my wife that one belongs in the garage.

While cost, gas mileage, and rideability are important to many, I find two things are musts for me -- the fun factor, and how it looks. The Classic 350 has both!

Great video. I always enjoy your perspective.

I’ve owned a 1986 FXWG Since 1988. Today I bought a 2003 R.E. 500 With 2900 miles. It was owned by an elderly man who kept a photo album documenting everything about the bike. Looking forward to riding the smallest displacement bike I’ve ever had.

[ObsidianNite]

Anyone else hope they make a classic 650?

[markymarknj]

I agree with everything you said, particularly about how REs hold their value. Quaker City Motorsport down in Philly had two Classic 500s for sale earlier this year. One was a Stealth Black for sale in the spring; another one was in Lake Blue they had during the late summer. Guess what? Both were priced ABOVE NEW! They were stickered at $7K or thereabouts, and they sold quickly. IIRC, the Classic 500 sold for $5K or so when new. They have a 2020 Continental GT for sale at $6, 299. Of course, that's assuming you can FIND a used RE! That alone can be a challenge, because guys, once they have a Royal Enfield, they don't sell them. They hang on to them to enjoy miles of smiles... :)

Miss this guy, cancer is a proper bar steward 😢

[benbenji]

Thank you so much for all of your honest reviews. My dad just purchased a meteor 350 and I am considering a classic 350 and Himalayan. Your honesty is really appreciated.

[motormikeb]

With a pair of RE's in the stable of 20 (12 licensed and insured, I rotate them yearly) The 500 Bullet with attached Cozy sidecar is three wheel fun. Short trips.... long trips (1200 miles plus)... hauls all my camping gear. Humm's along at a steady 55mph. I have never ridden a solo Bullet but have a few one lungers (350-450 Ducati's and others) . I enjoy the Bullet for its old school feel with modern reliabilities. My 650 Interceptor.... in Ravishing Red... I would not hang a sidecar on it... I've seen others who did. To me..that's like harnessing a small horse carriage to a thoroughbred. 😎

[paulgardner]

Hi from the sunny UK ! Just love your enthusiasm for the bike's and for ridding in general.the thing Harley's and Enfield have in common is sole! You just got to love me .keep doing what your doing.

[mrgrizzlyrides]

Really enjoyed that Jeff, brilliant.
Royal Enfield’s J series engine will completely out perform my 57 BSA 35O B31. The suspension is far better, the brakes are in a different league altogether and so on. But that’s not what Riding a modern Royal Enfield or an original pre unit single is about. It’s about enjoying and riding the motorcycle for what it is. Exactly as you say, how it makes you feel, coz it makes me feel great too.
I’m in total agreement with u man, thank heaven for Royal Enfield for the boost they are giving too modern motorcycling. A old big single feel, no oil leaks, reliability, good lighting (Lucas lights aren’t called the Prince of Darkness for nothing.) My BSA has all those things, 6v electrics too and I luv riding that bike soo much; had it 30odd yrs. lLuv riding my Inty and Himmy just as much; rode the Meteor and 350 Classic and I’m gonna have me a Classic in my little stable soon as I can afford one, coz they are just awesome man.
Ride safe
Neil.

[bobwampler]

Can’t argue with anything you’ve said. I need to ride one.

[nuttfarmgarage]

Love your comments on the Royal Enfield. I have a 2009 Bullet 500 and a 2022 Himalayan. My Bullet is the last of the old style, separate engine and transmission, front drum brake, carburetor. Out of all the 8 motorcycles I have, it gets to most attention. It’s slow, vibrates a bit, but puts a big smile on my face when I ride it. Thanks for being a great ambassador for the brand, they truly are fun motorcycles to own and ride!

[Sergiovalentimpht]

Beautiful landscape and amazing motorcycle!

[philtwowheels]

Not sure if it's the age of the rider partly or just marketing hype that made me buy bigger bikes, I've been downsizing and finding much more fun. Decided to sell my 1200 Moto Guzzi it's a great bike, but just doesn't give me joy anymore, it's just like a car. Can't wait to find an RE 500 Classic I can afford, these bikes embody everything that is quintessential about riding a motorcycle and you've summed that up to perfection. Thanks for the video.

[davericketts]

Hi Jeff. I love your enthusiasm for these bikes and, now that I have recently bought a Classic 350, in red / chrome, as a second bike to my Honda CB500X, I totally get it. My older brother had a Royal Enfield in 1966 and loved it. He went on to a BSA and then a Triumph. He was tragically killed in 1967 on that bike. Despite that, I have been a life-long motorcyclist and I enjoy my motorcycling more now, than at any other time in my life. I am sure my little 350 will be with me for many years to come. Ride safe.

[owl]

I love the looks of the classic 350, but the meteor seen it is more practical to ride with the trip meter and more details on the speedometer.

[svenwalther]

I get my 350 next week and can't wait for it....
