Royal Enfield Classic 350 REVIEW. This Modern Classic Motorcycle May Be Better Than You Think!

We review the NEW 2022 Royal Enfield Classic 350cc Motorcycle.
In this review we give you the essence of what it is like to ride, how it sounds, and how it handles. It's the next best thing to YOU actually riding the bike for yourself!
We look at the engine, gears, brakes, suspension seating and comfort, riding position, styling, ergonomics, design and features. What does the engine and exhaust sound like in stock form - just listen to this! We don't go into many specs in the video; just the important ones like power and torque. We recommend you look on Royal Enfields website in your own country to download the specifications, and watch our video to get an impression of what the bike is like in the real world.
Is it one of the best bikes in the World despite it being one of the cheapest?
It only has 20.2bhp and if you are wondering whether that is enough, watch the video all the way through to find out.

I recently bought classic 350 and honestly thanks to you that I put a nail on it. I was sure I want it and your review made me comfortable going forward. Keep up the good work. Cheers

I love the way Enfield are slyly taking over the world by thumbing their nose at high tech ugly results of the horsepower war. Stylishly and honestly built motorcycles, devoid of gimcrackery. Bravo Enfield.

Bugger! I knew I left those somewhere!!! Feel free to keep them as my gift to you 😘

Its not just a countryside bike, i took my Classic 350 reborn to Ladakh which is in Himalayan mountain region and khardungla pass which is 18000ft above sea level (highest altitude motorable road in the world), also to Pangong Tso Lake (which is highest salt water lake in the world)

Also i ridden 1000+ km in a single day on my classic without any issues.

This is a beast of a bike

Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤️

To me, these R.E. Bikes are what motorcycling is really all about.
The sound of the engine, the sights and smells of the journey, affordable transport and dare I say putting a massive smile on Ones face.

Speed is for the race track. Bikes like this you take your time and you enjoy the scenery and the ride. I just bought the meteor 350, which is the sister to that bike here in the states and I just love it!!! The sound, the comfort, the ergonomics are brilliant ! Motorbike should be simple and interactive. Well done mate.

I have a Classic 500 since last 7 years, the one with UCE hydraulic push rods unit. I use it for bird watching trips in open country and hilly areas just couple of hundred KMs away. The bike is completely made of metal. Believe me it's cheap to maintain and a good off road bike as well.

In a world of IMU's, rider modes and a billion horsepower this is exactly what we need. No wonder Enfield are killing it at the moment, they're catering to the people who just want a bike. Good looks, good sounds and zero fuss.

Just come back from a few night time hours riding my interceptor, chilled and relaxed, don't think I went over 60!!, so smooth and enjoyable, the 350 looks brilliant, was in the local bike shop at the weekend and seen it in the gun metal finish, very nice made me laugh as I was walking past the 15k + bikes to get to the enfields, each to there own but I do like the enfields👍❤

I am a Royal Enfield fan since the days it was an Indian lore legend, and so much happy to see the company grow and go global. This model combines pure classic looks and real world practicality, with a great price, winner all around. It is perfect lesson for other manufacturers on what motorcycles should be. Not sure the 20 bhp would suffice, but for most uses it probably will.

I couldn’t agree more. Owning the 350 Meteor which shares the same engine, RE are really onto something with these new generation models. I sit at 65mph comfortably, averaging 90-100mpg and get comments wherever I go. Brilliant bikes for the money

Just taken mine out for its first ride. Bloody love it! Back to basics biking - ideal for exploring the lanes of (sunny?) Devon. Just simple fun - like wot biking used to be before we got hoodwinked that we needed 150bhp - and then got further hoodwinked that we needed abs, traction control, gyroscopic inverters etc etc blah blah in order to tame the said 150bhp. (Yeah I got hoodwinked too). Not any more! But I won't be burning rubber - just gently warming it. Only downside to the bike is that I can't get the Heartbeat theme tune out of my head!

[deepanshyadav]

Subscribed and liked. Seriously one of the best reviews of the classic 350 I've seen on youtube. So thumbs up for that 👍. I own the exact same bike too (black with maroon inserts) and I related with all you said about it. It's really a wonderful machine for a laid back relaxed ride. Plus you are less likely to die riding at 80km/hr compared to 180km/hr😁

[steveowens]

Your enthusiasm for this bike is infectious. I've owned a few one-lungers in the past (a Yamaha and a Honda) but always fancied a Royal Enfield. I'm going to have to check this one out. Thanks!

Had my classic 350 red & chrome for nearly a week now so still running in, but what a bike. After a break of 32 years I’m back in the iron saddle and I’m loving it. I passed my test on a DR 125, then jumped to a KLR650 - owned two of those, but felt I’d lost some of the fun and agility of my 125cc.
The classic 350 is already after only 200 miles giving me that feeling again, this is going to be a great bike to explore A & B roads burbling along with my wife on pillion - happy days ahead me thinks

You nailed the essence of this bike and what biking is for so many of us, particularly those of us above 60. In the States, there is such a shortage of these bikes for many years and many a young man went to his cold dark box because his first trip to the store resulted in a 100 hp 600cc sportbike he was ill skilled to handle. I saw this in the making one day when I went to the local Honda/Kawasaki dealer for some spray polish. I mom was signing on for a son's first bike, a 750 super sport. My God, what the hell were they thinking. And the salesman, he played right into the kids fantasy for a big sale. I gave the kid a 50% chance of sailing off a road airborne at 90 mph or more. The Japanese used to own this market with bikes like the CB350 twin, the 450 twin, Yamaha 500 single. Age and nerve damage have forced me to downsize from mighty touring machines to a 250 and 150 scooter. But I want a motorcycle that feels proper. So Royal Enfield here I come as the only choice in America. American riders of the baby boom generation are aging and downsizing. The manufacturers just don't get it that we don't want an 800lb behemoth liter bike anymore that we can't push around our garage. I hope the classic makes it over the pond. But nothing wrong with the Meteor. Keep up the great reviews.

Brings back good old memories my first bike in India 🇮🇳 just love this bullet 350 and the rumble it m

[EvanWilliams]

Update from my comment 6 months ago: They've released the bike in the US now, and I ended up buying one in Marsh Grey, got it home yesterday and went riding, couldn't get off it lol. This review is what turned me onto it, so big shoutout to showing me such a cool bike. So far, it's everything described in this video, maybe more. Hopefully 5 bucks will get you a cup of coffee where you live lol.

[roverchap]

I agree with your summary wholeheartedly. So much so that I've put down a deposit on one in Chrome Bronze! If ever there was a bike for the moment, this is it.

[alancampbell]

As I get older I find that I appreciate more and more a well built bike that will just get you there, maybe not winning any speed or time records, but arriving relaxed and having had the time to relax, look around and enjoy being out there. You certainly didn't look out of place on the classic and I think it speaks volumes that out of your garage that's the one you enjoy.
