Another great video that highlights the 350 Classic Reborn. Mods look great and will definitely help with any light of roading. Smart choice installing the bash plate.
thanks. so far i like how it runs on the dirt compared to the factory tyres. in fact for next week im now thinking i might book the suzuki vstrom 250 SX in and give it the same treatment
Greetings Warro. Looks like I am another one to say Thanks for the inspiration. I really liked your Halcyon Grey 350, even though I must admit that the Chrome Red is a gorgeous paint scheme. I pulled the trigger on a Halcyon Grey 2023 left over yesterday. The conversion from USD to AUSD is $6373.00. That grabbed my attention. I live in a heavy traffic region, and for me that sky blue not only looks terrific, but should be highly visible out on the road. This is the smallest CC bike that I have owned since the '70's. My wife has always refused to ride with me, so riding 2 up is not a consideration for me. Anymore, with all the road toads with low driving skills and no real chances of ever really opening up a bike and getting on the throttle, large capacity engines are over kill. Plus a pleasant commute with a bike that sips gas efficiently will be a nice change. And no carbs to clean. My region also has the highest ethanol ratio in our entire country, so more time riding than doing maintenance. I also have a nostalgic leaning towards Royal Enfield. My Grandfather rode Royal Enfields in Europe between the Wars. Still, it is not easy to put the ego in check a,nd go for a 350, but I am definitely game. Thanks again for showing us how much enjoyment you are getting from your Royal Enfields.
i think you'll be pretty happy with the bike purchase as i think they are really good value and more importantly its impossible to buy a bike which looks so good for so little money. halcyon grey is a top choice colour wise too. i have a spare new halcyon grey tank and its a pretty easy swap over and later i may do just that and have blue chrome guards...lol time will tell there. all the best!
Instant Scrambler. But it looks WAY better than most offerings these days. Seems like the perfect set up for enjoying the scrub. All 3 mods look excellent 👌
had it on the dirt yesterday -ran well. im in the process of putting together a 5 part review on my bikes. once done should be interesting viewing. will show review /bike ride and drone shots in each clip
shit there good...lol i had no idea on dirt tyres till i went up that gravel road today and the bloody classic was actually too fast for me....lol very stable or sure footed too and im use to the bikes with street tyres on dirt. i wastold these are good in mud too but the last time i went near mud...lol party over! i may even put these on the vstrom 250 that bike looks pretty smart now with side rails/engine guard and sump guard fitted too. after this clip i did another 20 klm on that loose packed stuff and i am impressed. id been on the same track with the halcyon grey on stocks and at time packing it a bit...lol but not today!
Me neither. it wasnt that long ago i actually hated riding on dirt. i remember buying a new honda crf250 rally rode it 30 klm out on sealed and then 400 metres on dirt-got off turned it around and as soon as i got home put it straight up for sale on gumtree...lol
G'day Warro, look's great your 350 Royal Enfield and the mods are a bonus, those nobby looking tyres won't last long on the bitumen but perfect for off road work, my Classic Red / chrome 650 Royal Enfield will be out on Club runs, tomorrow, all next weekend and the weekend after, I'm looking forward to the rides with mates, cheers mate ride safe, Neil 🤠.
yeah its a pretty cheap option to put on the bike for $100 but where im going it may come in handy as a bit more protection. cleaning bikes is not something i like to do...lol but some really like the experience. that underside is pretty time consuming to clean too
Thanks 👍 i once put off road type tyres on a classic 500 back in 2017 in your case id say really look the part on a signals too in fact better than on the normal 350's good call there
i think what may be the issue i was walking into straight strong sunlight and the first 20 seconds or so is the drone shots. good to hear you enjoyed the new mods too.
Warro - How many 350 classic reborn's do you own ? I have seen a Halcyon Grey - a Signals & this red chrome. Love you clips btw - keep up the awesome work mate !
I like the rear rack, Warro. Re: tyres, what brand are they and how much? I used Mitas E07 on my DR650SE. From memory they were 70/30 road/dirt. Most of my riding was on road. I used to get 10K kilometers rear, and 20K kilometers front, depending on how well they were balanced when fitted; I had to replace a rear at around 9K because it wasn't fitted properly, at 6 o'clock it was bald but at 12 o'clock it still had enough tread. (if that makes sense). Do you have any plans to fit a rear rack to the GB350?
actually these tyres were going on the gb350 and at the last moment i changed my mind. ive had no real experiece with off road tyres and the gb350 runs so well i didnt want to stuff it via a bad move. so on the classic they went. no regrets either as im surprised how well the bike runs on dirt. i thought the halcyon grey ran well on dirt on stock tyres but this is a total different beast...lol money well spent in my case. tyres are motoz tractionator adventure at cost $450 fitted for the pair not sure what i plan to put on the gb350 but the suzuki is now fully fitted up with pannier rails/crash bars and sump guard. the rear rack i bought off ebay for $67 from india. i was thinking of buying the rear rack for the honda but they wanted $250 -one is very cheap and the other a total rip off...lol
Those are some beasty tyres Warro but I bet they are sound off road. I suppose you can use the other tyres you took off for the other classic when needed. I see you were at the railway line where you encountered the brown...😊👍🏍
just in case these were no good i kept the old ones for spares indeed. in fact i always thought they were pretty good tyres. saying that once on the dirt today there was actually a no contest there. these are great. well same track just a different area there
nice... personally id have gone for 80/20 tyres those look too aggressive theyre going to be noisy on the ashphalt.... im still waiting for an aussie truckstop vid or a bathurst visit...... spring now in uk all the fairweather bikers are starting to emerge from winter hibernation.. dont go near any shopping centres warro....
i noticed some noise and found the tyre seller only had 20 lbs in them. i then upped it to 30 and that really improved them in noise and steering. i think that can go to 35/40 lbs too. overall im very impressed with these tyres as i did about 20 klm on the dirt after i closed on this. if anything i now find the classic 350 a bit to fast or eager on the dirt and this had lots of gravel on it too so im not really concerned now about sealed road noise as im only 5 minutes from dirt and after that i can ride a few hundred klm on dirt with minor criss cross over sealed stuff. i think now or based on todays first ride as tyres only fitted this morning this classic is going dirt regardless i also found the classic 350 rides softer with these tyres and its slightly higher too overall very happy with the $450 tyre outlay compared to when i paid another tyre place $550 for two tyres on my ex interecptor and total waste of good cash there
i think so and was impressed today with my first ride out. only picked the bike up at 10am so had to get it straight home and fit the bash plate and rack then out for a quick run. overall good day and i think they will work a treat
just carry the drone and some other stuff like stove equipement when i pull over in the wilderness for a cup of coffee. well thats the plan...lol see how that goes.
Thanks! 👍 yeah i bought that one i think when i bought my first interceptor. happy with the mods and unfortunately those tyres where intended for the gb350 but at the last moment i decided not too and the reserve came in and said.....i can do dirt so i said ..its a deal...lol
