Bought a classic 350 marsh gray just over two weeks ago. Now its got 380Km on the clock. As warro's saying it starts every time first time whether its cold or hot. Very good gear shift and fuel mapping very easy to ride and comfy does not vibrate. Fuel economy sits on 40km/L this bike is still in running in process. I am happy with the fit and finish too. I am really happy with the purchase and very good value for money.
Great videos you’ve putting out warro, I really think people are starting to realise the joy in simple motorcycles, without unnecessary technology that’s just there to up the price and power that can’t be used on any roads
thats what i like to hear. ive had new ones with all the gizmos but with cornering abs/traction control etc etc - whats gonna happen when warranty runs out and the repair to those items will hit the roof better just this simple bike. just fuel injected and abs and i still say -if one is not happy riding at 60 mph -sell the bike and buy agod car....lol
The Marsh Grey looks really fantastic! The stock seat with springs looks really great, too. The Halcyon Grey looks perfect also. The modifications you have done are perfect. Well done!
yeah that bike look a real old period style ride...lol the blue one i think is much more the prettier bike of the two. but this would be better should i be called in to be a despatch rider...lol
You and Stuart F. , doing a great job on these wonderful 'old' bikes. My 1993 Bullet 500 is still running so sweetly too, starting first time with a 'kick'. No rust and the original paintwork too. Thank You.
Warro I got one of these after watching this video! Completed almost 1800km and I tell you and everyone else that everything you've said about this bike in this video is true! It's a really good bike! Thank you Warro!👍
I really appreciate your videos. My son ordered that exact model you have and is picking it up in two days. I absolutely love the look of the bike, but my preference is the Halcyon and chrome colors. Unfortunately those won’t be available in the US until later this year. I could get an Interceptor right now with polished cases and chrome pipes, but the Classic 350 is in my opinion the best looking bike I’ve ever seen. Who cares about power, I don’t like riding freeways anyway. Thanks for sharing, ride safe.
i like my halcyon grey and ride it everywhere. like the chrome versions too and seriously thinking about buying the tan chrome version later this year. they are really just a really nice bike to ride the 350's and well worth the journey on. by the way tell him next clip out will be a rack and pannier fit on the marsh grey -in the process of doing it now and i think it looks pretty good too. all the best!
I own the same bike but with black seats instead of brown. I hope you would like this info that these are actually special editions named as signals editions because in India, we have corps of signals which is generally referred as to the intelligence department within the Army. It was established in 1911 under British Raj but it got recognitions after the Independence in 1981. Thus when classic 350 reborn was launch by RE in 2021 they paid tribute to them by launching signals editions thus 40 is written in one side of the tank which represents their completion of 40 years and other side symbolizes the speed which pretty similar to the real logo of corps of signals. This is setup is pretty similar to previous gen classic 350 airforce styles blue bike where 29 was written. The stencil number you see on the tank is unique to each bike which is produced. And the number TP 28 written on the back fender referred to the tyre pressure that the army had to maintain when the bikes used to be dropped from the plane during WW2 but in the modern time it is more likely torque produced 28 though it does actually produces about 27
What an excellent way of putting it... 'sitting in the seat, not on the the seat'. I strongly feel rider comfort and the level of vibration a bike puts off is a deal maker or a deal breaker. This bike sounds like the full package and your up front and honest review should really help others to decide. I think blacked out forks would look a bit cooler contrasting against the front fender.Great review Warro 👌
thanks F/N i crossed over to the blue after this review and ran it at 60mph and its near vibration free. my bet is if you bought a classic 350 you'd be on the bike 24/7...lol i'd like to see you in the saddle! my bet isit would be the best fun and most enjoyable experience you'll encounter. i just can't stay away from them. very simple too. just fuel injected and abs
Nice review- I like the pace of the video! Cool bike I like the 40s military vibe. I purchased the sister bike the meteor here in the states and I agree with you that the heel/toe shifting is very satisfying (classy) You just click down or back it’s just that easy. 350 engine has such a great rumble to it and Just a well built bike all around. I looked around my bike and there’s tremendous attention to detail. Happy rid’n mate Allan USA
thanks. i agree totally. after riding this smoother version of an enfield and the heel and toe side it should have been stock on the 350 classics too apart from that i think they are nice rides and 350cc are quite enough all the best!
Thanks Warro, well deserved like. Your comments and feedback are adding so much to the overall "reviews space" and are greatly appreciated. I guess that this question must have been asked numer of times already: how about the Meteor 350? Did you have a chance to ride one and compare to the classic?
never tried the meteor 350 as just to do that i'd have to do a round trip of 500 klm to the nearest bike outlet. plus i'm not even sure if they carry a demo. i believe they are better to ride in the mid range power band too. if thats the case enflied has scored two good 350's
I own a 1989 Bullet 350 in India and I absolutely love the british engineered machine. I've never been a fan the UCE engines because of the tappet noise, vibrations and mediocre performance. However, I was mindblown when riding the new classic reborn. I'd never imagined that enfields would ditch the pushrod engines for overhead cams, but to my surprise, the new bike is more fun to ride and gorgeous to look at (I experienced the classic chrome bronze variant).
i like the look of that tan/chrome bike myself but from what i believe none came in to AU on the first shipment the tan or the red. either way the new 350 is a great ride and what i enjoy is far less vibration at speed. in fact near none so enfield did a pretty good job there
Love the look of the 350, it must be a great bike to getting out and actually looking at the countryside without being scary. I've gotten used to bikes that are 600+ cc but actually really enjoyed riding my old KZ200 thumper and my little 2001 Honda Hornet 4cyl 250cc bike. They were 40hp from 250cc and 17000 rpm! Maybe a 350 single is a good size all round. Would you prefer to ride the Enfield 350 over say a CT125 for light backroad touring?
if the ct125 had anactual clutch and say 3 more hp -it would be a good bike to run around on. but in stock form any incline scares it. although a 13t front sprocket helps but they too are little vibrators. i think i'd rather run around the backroads on this and so far have been on quite a few
well i did up untill a month ago. i bought two ct125 and paid $7800 each -one tan and one red. they are heavily overpriced and no power. 50 mph stops them about a month ago i bought a suzuki uk110 scooter to ride with the eldest daughter i gave the new grom too. yesterday i was out with mine/the daughters gron and her friend crf190l which i also once owned. that little suzuki was faster than them all and i was able to cruise at 100 kph -impossible on a ct125 plus i only paid $3290 for the suzuki brand new that is $4700 cheaper than a ct125 and its furl injected and vibration free
Thanks for the in depth review! I got a message that my dealer can place the order on Friday. I don’t know why but no Halcyon or Chrome models yet. I like your gray but I think I’ll go for the Sand since I’ve never had a bike that color before.
i had a similar tan 3 years back with the pegasus model. so the new is in that cour range so yoiu should be happy there ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zNSzQj1FNYI.html
Glad it was helpful! impossible to go wrong on the new 350's my latest clip shows the halcyon grey in some very rough country on a solo camp/ride and cook run
Hello Warro, nice video as always. I’m also thinking about fitting a functional ammeter to my new Classic, but low an behold I have just noticed that the Meteor tripper units have started to come up for sale on a well known auction site. If I can easily wire up the ammeter that will be my first choice. If not the tripper unit. I am looking forward to your cook videos, I am sure they will get lots of views. I’m of for a ride now, ride safe.
hope they perform well too. i've tied a lot up in the material side so i plan not to rush the first clip as i think it will make or break it...lol not sure if the amp meter will work but i'm happy just to put something in the slot. i like the touring mirros i bought too. nice sharp image
@@johnnicholls3092 handy to know. did you try and pull out the disc and if so is it just straight into the headlight housing and undo a couple of nuts?
G'day Worro, great rundown on the 350cc, l have always said it's the ride not the speed when it comes to motorcycle's, l have not had anything over 850cc and have had many bikes over 40+ years of riding, looking forward to the cooking show you'll have at least one fan, cheers mate and keep upright, Neil.
Well said! i think 900cc pulls me up so nothing above that either. i was on the blue one today and it sits on an easy 100 kph.overall no probs riding it
I love your "signals" edition Classic 350. Unfortunately RE UK has decided not to import this version of the 350 for some crazy reason. I don't know if I could live with the gear or rear brake pedals though as I think my boots would be far too thick. Your changes have greatly improved the look of this machine and RE should take note of this. If it was possible to spec it with the black cast wheels I would select that option (another thing they are not offering in the UK). RE do care more about the product now but do not appear to believe in maximum customer choice nor recognise that most countries do not allow side-saddle pillions and so might like left-side rack and pannier.
a left pannier rack would indeed be a welcome accessory and if they came to the party i think would sell well. i'd much rather a set of them than just one that makes the bike appear lop sided.

Just the same in Norway. Think this for all EU countries.
New to the channel and I enjoy your videos. Good information, content and clear video. I bought my wife a 2021 Himalayan and taught her to ride it. Now she has her license and is loving it. That's what brought me to your videos.
Welcome aboard! good to hear. you might think later to grab a 350 yourself unless you have one. if not they are a nice ride and pretty happy with both. all the best!
Awesome looking bike and great video ! The only thing that’s frustrating is that I live in the same town as you and am yet to see you riding on one of your magnificent bikes 😆 I really love the look of the new 350’s 👌
Maybe one day! but as a rule i rarely ride in town and put the klm up on the open road. i'd rather take the risk out there compared to taking it in town...lol
Glad you like them! made a bit of a location error here-right next to a power pole and picked up a bit of buzzing in the clip and had to add light background music
Thanks for watching R/H bike is running well .that is the blue one and its a totally reliable ride not clocked anything serious on this one yet but it too appears positive.
I love it this is my back up bike nice 👌.I'm picking one one of these up this weekend they only have them in all black though .Love your videos and appreciate them ,Happy riding my friend .
either way colour is only a colour and the bike itself is a really good ride so i am pretty sure you'll enjoy it. straight out on the dirt for you...they really like it...lol
Beautiful machine! My small gripe with the blacked out edition is that all the bolts need to be blacked out too. Otherwise it looks like the bike has little metal studs all over it (not a problem if that's your thing!)
Another great vid mate 👍 I’m seriously considering one of these - I currently have an Interceptor 650 and I’m really happy with it, but most of my riding is 50mph country lanes so the loss of cc wouldn’t be too much of a problem. I’ve ridden a Vespa and Lambretta for the last 25 years, so a single is what I’m used to. Just a shame that this green colour isn’t available in the Uk, as this would be my first choice. Ride safe pal.
i had the blue out today as it has the klm on the clock and you can move it along. these do a vey easy 60 mph and 50 mph is a no contest its that easy. plus near no vibes too. not as smooth as the 650 but far better than the old days. you should work on keeping the 650 and try for the 350 too that would be a perfect combo but if you think the 650 has to go - i assure you this little bike is very hard to beat
Agree with you re the Signals editions not being sold in the UK. Same with the Redditch models and the cast wheels. I cannot figure out RE UK's reasoning with lack of choice and service availability.
youre not paying as much for the 350 up front ,the engine house counterbalances so it doesn’t vibrate as much. Power is adequate for around town. the key thing is fuel economy,maintenance costs instead of a car..
i had my little suzki uk110 out today with my other older bikes-the grom and the crf190l - i can sit on 100 kph on that suzuki -great little scooter for $3290 ride away
@@ridewithwarro I think after a while you realise there are a lot of very good,inexpensive small capacity bikes with plenty of character, that are just as much fun to ride. Insurance,registration,parts, fuel economy aren't getting cheaper plus small capacity bikes are very handy around town especially if you have a big bike. I know a bike mechanic who rides to work on a Honda 300. Leaves the beast at home. DCT NXS 750 Hondas might give you the best of both worlds - haven't ridden one.
@@MrAndrew1953 i just fitted a roller kit to the suzkui address 110 so decided to give it a run to see how it performed. actually pretty quick off the mark now
lucky there are only 2 choices or it may get extremely difficult to choose a colour then dont think ive seen the sands version yet or even up close. when i had the pegasus 500 it was more a chocolate type colour
Good Warren: Some with so many R.E. and others without any. Here in Portugal, not one to buy, and the importer says that there may be R.E. 350cc. When you're a small country with 10M inhabitants, that's what you get. At least I'll be watching and listening to YOUR comments. Good curves. Hug
so any options to buy one elsewhere or not possible. the new 350 appears to be very reliable so even if you had to travel to buy one i'd say its worth it
I love them drone shots of you riding along just unreal. Make some more close ups you know I like seeing the suspension working the dust out from the back wheel looks good I had a 500 enfield I'm on a honda shadow vt750c4 at the moment I ride it on the dirt gravel roads dose ok. I'm looking forward to the 650 royal enfield classic il will buy one. What are your thoughts on the 650 classic
dont like the 650 classic at all. its just enfield thinking of another way to grab a $$$. the only classic i feel is the single. naturally my thoughts on the 500 and build quality is pretty bad but i did buy 15 of them new. the 350 is by far much better in all areas. im waiting for a pre-order price but if it comes in respectable im buying the new triumph 400 street i think its called. had 2 interceptors so there pretty good bikes but not as much fun to ride as the single. new classic 350 reborn is a very hard bike to beat but saying that the new hunter i got a month back is pretty good too
@@ridewithwarro Well when you get to a ton of views as you will! It will get harder to respond to all and that’s no problem :) I’m a new rider here in Sweden. Bought an old Honda 750 to learn on and get my heavy license. But then oh boy what to buy!!? I love the retro look so it’s basically a Royal enfield (interceptor meteor or classic!!?) or maybe a second hand Bonnevillr or Moto Guzzi. My heart says Classic 350 but my head says Interceptor :)
@@IrishBog interceptor if you want to move at pace and distance and the 350 if you just want to knock over say 100 klm runs. naturally they will cover far more than that but the interceptor is more a big mileage mover with ease
Fantastic review Warro. I've a meteor and have recently been experiencing quite an annoying/concerning ticking, clickerty noise from under me. Very audible. Follows the rpms and also heard when revs are decreasing. Booked in for a 5000km service next week but thinking valve clearances? You've owned a lot of these bikes and have 2 of these engines. Any thoughts in your expert opinion? Bike appears to be running ok, oil level is fine etc. The noise is very annoying. Cheers and keep up the great work with these bikes.
i'd say a good chance its the valve or tappet adjustment if you hear the clicking sound. plus i'd say too that you may have noticed its not as peppy as it was going back afterthe first 500 klm service. either way better loose and clicking compared to the other tighter side when you can do more damage. the interceptor click away too but not the UCE 500 -they just rattle eitherway i'd rather listen to the clicking as on the 500 i use to fit sports exhaust to drome out the rattling also happy to hear you enjoyed the review too
I can't tell if I like the matte paint job or not? It looks supercool, like a WWII Jeep, but it also looks like a plastic toy too. Maybe I would like this color in gloss paint with gold penstriping more? What do you all think of it?
I really like the look of this as I am comparing it to one Meteor About the seating position, is it higher or lower than the Meteor? How is the tank capacity compare to Meteor as well?
Thanks for putting out your video. You addressed a few things I was curious about. I feel the seat spring mod and the headlight visor mod were great improvements. Also, you mentioned you may blacken your front forks. I think it may improve the look, but either way will you remove those side reflectors on the forks? Now you probably know better than I, how Royal Enfield balanced the crank to greatly reduce the vibration so you’re not knocking your brains out. I’m considering getting a Signals 350, but was hoping to get a similar Royal Enfield in a 500 cc. Do you know if they are planning on outfitting their Signals, or similar military style bike, with a re-engineered and improved 500 engine? It may be worth a 1-2 year wait. In the meantime I’ll just keep busy on my ‘65 Dart slant six. Thanx 👍🏻
nothing solid on a new 500cc j motor from enfield in a single. new 350 single is by far a much better bike than the old 500 just in reliabilty and vibration alone. so well worth buying. ive now clocked 10,000 klm trouble free.
Excellent review chap, that blanking cap is held in with a small torx screw (well mine was) . What your thoughts on changing the front sprocket for one a bit higher gear ? It was suggested to me but I don't know 😕
i'd say where you live a bigger sprocket may come in handy providing its flat running. my way with the hills its not a proposition as i'd be straining it a bit. i'd keep that in mind and try to find out more info on the mod. may be interesting outcome
Hi Warro, have you come across the high pitch noise that the fuel pump makes while the bike is idling, and if so is this an issue with the fuel pump or is it completely normal please? I understand it is normal on initial turn of the key but it is quite noticeable at idle as well.
as a rule ive only heard the pump noise when one turns the key and it primes up the pressure. so i'd say its not the normal and ive had lots of fuel injected enfields it may be a case of a possible faulty fuel pump so if out of warranty may be best to look into it it may be partially blocked too and causing it to work hard might be worth a try -pull the tank remove the fuel pump wash it in petrol etc and put it back in if that fails could be the pump outright
interesting you bought 2 of the same bike (styling excluded). Any way i like the current Royal Enfields, and like the scram for a bit of offraod dirt riding... OR one of the signal bikes with knobby wheels?? Any thooughts on those 2 options? cheers Muz from Geetroit.
Very nice👏🏼. I have a Classic 500 and planning to get a 350. Best of two worlds😃 ( I noticed that one of the screws on the side of the headlamp on your bike has come undone! Apparently not uncommon on the new 350)
i just checked as i didn't notice anything. they are both fine and still tight as there are only 2 protruding screws which hold it in place plus it a slight turn twist to lock it in. i thought i'd check immediately as i had pulled the headlight to paint the surround black and thought maybe i had not secured it. thanks for the heads up -if it had been loose i'd missed it all the best!
@@ridewithwarro Great that it is OK👍 A couple of other 350 owners experienced screws on the headlamp apparently getting loose. Looking forward to more of your videos. I especially like the spring seat on your 350🤩
@@HDvroom10 well i had no choice but take a look. after-all i had been there...lol but they were on nice and tight. ref to the springs. they don't serve an actual function like a C5 they are pretty stiff so its more a cosmetic look. besides the factory seat is pretty good regardless so i think its a win/win situation. something whick looks good for very little outlay in$$$. i think i like the heel and toe shifter the best. rode it today and its really nice to go through the gears all the best!
@@HDvroom10 pretty good how you can moved them through the gears more positive. i think its my cheapest and best mod to date. i really like it...i need another...lol
Have you ever tried the interceptor? I'm in doubt (70% city use and 30% 3-600km trips but 2 people, 120kg) cause of the low hp of the 350 for 2 people outside city
i have actually had 2 interceptors. a ravishing red and a chrome version. for the type of riding you plan to do i'd go interceptor and it will handle all you can dish out to it with ease.
This looks very WWII, and it seems to beg for leather panniers. The shiny bolts look out of place, though. To emphasize the military look, I'd get rid of the shiny bolts and substitute ones with black heads.
i am thinking of doing a matte black spray on all those bits too. just not got around to it due to camera dramas and other stuff. but it could happen soon. i mean front forks/shock and seat springs etc all the best!
5'.9" its a pretty easy bike to ride height wise and really nothing to say a suzuki drz400e with around a 38" seat height. i didn't like that experience one bit when i owned it...lol
Hi, thank you for the video. I have a question regarding Classic 500. I feel that 350 keeps rolling effortlessly even in gear once you let off the throttle, but classic 500 has a very pronounced jerk down and engine breaking. Is that how all 500s are or is it just mine ?
@@TheBaladev heres what you can do. if your bike has the IAT sensor fitted at the back of the airbox right side looking down-. put your hand behind and feel for the clip plug - thenwhat will help you is google boosterplug and once its fitted this will get rid of that jerky throttle ride and the shunting on back off throttle. if you haven't got the sensor pull the plug and check it out.if its a bosche -replace it with a NGKBPR6ES or NGKBP6ES and it will run much better no need to gap just p[ut it straight in
only a downgrade if your set on a 500. if a 500 is on your mind the only thing which could turn you off is the vubration. if that doesnt worry you-go 500
Quelle belle petite motocyclette, ce samedi 29 avril 2023 je prendre procession de cette charmante machine avec la même couleur. Je hâte 😎. Bien à vous et bonjour de France ✌️
i did but it was just to see how it looked on the bike. this is more my reserve bike where the blue is the actual test ride bike and now has the touring seat i decided there is no point in me giving two brand new bikes a hard times so this got the best end of the straw and a more easy sealed road life.
not on this bike or not so far but i have on the halcyon blue unit. that started on the very first couple of rides but surprisingly lately its been working fine
if you take a look at my history section i need something different. in the past 10 years ive bought 52 new motorcycles so i am chasing the old classic style look as the new stuff dont do much or appeal to me.
@@ridewithwarro 52 motorbikes in 10 years? Must be a rich man,and probably don't even now what you really want...a waste of resources..these Indian rubbish scrap metal are the last of the marketing masterpiece, how to fool people in spenf thousand of euros in trash old metal from the past.😆
