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 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.

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

I can see how that would happen, they're such lovely little bikes, I'm really enjoying mine so far. I'm intending to ride both the RE and Triumph evenly but we'll have to see how that pans out.

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 👌🏼

Great video, congratulations on your new classic 350. Beautiful bike. I have a Triumph T120 diamond edition and recently purchased a new Bullet 350. Both are a joy to ride but in a completely different way. The 350 is the perfect bike for one lane roads and enjoying the experience of riding. Enjoy the bike. One question, can you share where you purchased the goggles/shield that you’re wearing in the video? Ride safe.

@ClassicRides Месяц назад

Thanks John, yes I agree, they’re very different bikes for different types of riding, both excellent though. The goggles are by Ethen and you should be able to find them in Urban Rider’s goggle section.

@neilyplim 3 месяца назад

Hi, Matt. Thank you for another lovely video. Just out of interest, how do you find the rear suspension/shock absorbers on this bike? Some people have said that they're a little below par, and, if you buy a Classic 350 or Bullet, it makes a big difference upgrading the shocks etc.. However, if it's adequate, then I don't really see the point of upgrading for the sake of it. Also, have you taken it down the motorway for an extended period of time (say, 1-2 hours)? How has the engine coped at 70-odd m.p.h? I know it's not a Kawasaki ZZR1400 or Hyabusa, and trundling along at 70 would be fine.....as long as it's not going to explode under stress. Once again, many thanks for the quality and sheer professionalism of your uploads; an absolute pleasure to watch. Regards, Neil.

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

Hi Neil, I thought the rear shocks felt fine for the two rides I used them. However I’ve already swapped them for a pair of Hagon shortened springs as I’m on the shorter side and I find it’s usually a worthwhile upgrade. As for riding at 70 for an extended time, I’ve not had a chance to do that yet. I would say that after fitting the DNA air filter and a decat pipe it’s much happier at getting to 70mph, though I’m not sure you’d describe it as “trundling along” as you’re definitely near the bikes limit. But I feel as though it would do it all day as it’s electronically limited, so not like you’d be bouncing off the rev limiter for hours. Once I’ve had the bike a little while I might do a ‘review’ where I’ll go over that real world stuff everyone wants to know 😁

@ninaddesai6936 3 месяца назад

Did you install the low rider seat for your shoulders to be comfy or because of your height. I'm 6 feet tall and struggle with shoulder pain on this machine. Got the handlebars raised - still painful. Do I reduce the seat height? Any help would be welcome, sir.

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

I’ve not noticed any shoulder pain personally so I can’t say if getting the low seat would help you, though I could see how it would in effect raise your arms up a bit. But I wonder if you might then be a little cramped in your legs. Personally I got the low seat because I’m on the shorter side, but it’s not the most comfortable so I may yet switch back to the standard seat. Perhaps the touring handlebars plus your risers would help instead of the low seat?

@GeorgeConaway-w2b Месяц назад

That was a great collection of shots of the motorcycle. Did you buy it new and immediately throw all of the accessories on or did you buy it used with the accessories already in place? It would be interesting to hear about the accessories - what you think of them, why you bought them (if you did), etc. Thank you for the video!

@ClassicRides Месяц назад

Thanks George. Actually it was neither of the scenarios you mentioned, I bought it used with 2K miles on the clock and it was completely stock. Then I changed quite a few parts to get the bike more towards how I wanted it. I'm planing on doing a 'review' video soon which will detail the extras I bought, so that should cover everything you'd like to know about.

Most bike manufacturers do the same thing, multiple variants of the same engined bike. I believe there are some small tuning differences between the HNTR and Classic 350's, but mostly it's just an exercise in styling.

It came down to the T100 or the RE 350 Classic. I settled on the T100 and I am loving that bike, making various upgrades, and enjoying it thoroughly. I am VERY happy with the bike. But, I continue to eye the RE as well. The previously unthinkable continues to creep into the back of my mind. Should I own not one, but two bikes? No, no. I could not possibly do such a thing. 🤭

As always Matt a very creative video, beautiful looking RE, but you and I know the Bonnie is the best … keep making the videos they are amazing and inspiring

I’m going to take the parental line and say they’re both good in their own ways 😁

Nice one Matt, beautiful addition, I’m here for the Triumph ( as I have one too) however appreciate the RE is a classic looking bike, good value and sounds perfect.

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

Well don’t worry, the Triumph will back very soon 🙂

I have the same Bronze Chrome Classic 350 in my stable. It is perfect for getting lost on the country roads here in Ohio that usually passed up by my other bikes. I am just past the 300 mile service and working on the 1200 mile break in. It just keeps getting better and better. Great video, thanks for sharing! Stay safe!

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

I see you're a person of great taste, I'm looking forward to getting some proper miles under my 350 too.

What a beautiful bike Matt, even the electric starter button looks classic, well done! Best wishes with "Donkey" I'm sure you'll have a great time. Great video too! 👍👍

Thanks Nelio, I'm looking forward to getting miles done on him. But also can't wait to get back on the T120!

Classic beauty. Much needed for the close to home or one night trips. Very affordable. We have a dealer not far from home. Have to check them out. The most retro of the retros for sure. Liked the vid. Good camera work. All good next time.

@ClassicRides 2 месяца назад

Thanks Sam, they’re great little bikes, I’d recommend trying one if you get the chance 👍

@samhill3496 2 месяца назад

@@ClassicRides yes I'm going fown to the dealer pretty soon check out the new Himaylian and the cassics. Andy, Missender Flyer has one similar to yours loves it. It's standard two seater. Those bags look great on it.

@ClassicRides 2 месяца назад

@@samhill3496 Thanks Sam, I haven't decided whether I'm going to leave the rear seat off or put it back on yet, need to get to know the bike better yet. Yes I watched Andy's videos on the Classic, must be nice getting free long-term loaner bikes, sadly I had to buy mine with my own money 😁

@@ClassicRides I tell you there's a lot more freedom to just fo it yourself and have a life. As you know tjere is a lot of editing time. Since he relies on it for a living he's under the time clock to ride and report. Like you I pay my way. Generally every month on the bigger ones. I been riding 59 years, on the road 55 and doing distance since I was 19. Not so much now but often. He has omly been riding about eight years. Of course he has seen a lot but had to document it to pay for it.

Absolutely beautiful bike, could have been 1945 all over again. The character and style 👌

No no no ! You are not doing this to me again ! Get thee behind me Satan ! You made me buy an oil lamp ....that I had room for , but I do not have room for a Donkey ! I test rode one just over a year ago and loved it to bits , handing it back at the dealership was like surrendering a family dog at the shelter 😢 Joking apart it's an awesome bike and in that bronze it looks stunning in the sunlight , you're going to love it , I still think of my ride on it and regret my lack of garage space . The video made a lovely change from the current crop of videos of effusing over the 450mt , bloody sick of it ! 🤪

classic 350 in this shade looks drop down gorgeous from any angle...just i wish it gets a more powerful engine to justify the looks

@melvincain5012 3 месяца назад

Good video mate, same as mine, bought one last year after 30 years not riding. Got it for my retirement this year to explore the yorkshire country roads. You could do with buying some of the blanking plugs for the original mirrors.

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

Thanks Melvin, sounds like you got the right bike for the area you ride in. I’ve already got some blanking plugs but I managed to strip the thread in the hole somehow so I’m leaving it out until I get round to fixing it 🤦🏻‍♂️

@PhilGraceUK 3 месяца назад

Great addition matey, I love the classic 350 and have to agree, it’s certainly one of the best looking stock bikes money can buy!!

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

Thanks Phil. Didn’t realise you were on the RU-vid, I’ll make sure to subscribe 👍

@Brunow007 3 месяца назад

please make a long term review off the bike. I really like them but i'm a bit worried about the speedo failing. They do fix them but they don't solve the problem...

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

I definitely will once I’ve had it a good amount of time. I’ve heard about the clock issue but I can only go off what happens to my bike, so we’ll see what happens.

@porcaminosrurales3755 3 месяца назад

congratulations Matt! also, the Chrome /bronze scheme is the most beautiful option. I need one! 😅

@ClassicRides 3 месяца назад

I agree with you there, the colour really caught my eye a few years ago when they came out and I've been wanting one since.

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.
