Royal Enfield Classic 350 | The Most Authentic Modern Classic Motorcycle? 

The Classic 350 is literally one of the best motorcycles produced today.

One of the best looking bikes there is, if you like classics. If budget is a concern and riding is just for fun, you can't go wrong 👍🏻

Hello young man ,i got a 350 classic about two weeks ago ,bronze as well and the one thing you slightly missed out was the music that this time machine puts out ,when you come off the throttle to go down a gear ,then blip the throttle as you go down it just sounds beautiful .This is a proper show off bike ,all the pops and bangs from the exhaust and the looks ,every time i go past the café i have to give the throttle a little blip and i know i am old enough to no better being a young man of 62 .The best bit of advice for anyone sitting on the fence about the classic or the meateater is get the classic and forget about the performance stats they are irrelevant unless you are on a motorway ,this bike has more than enough ,and when you go up the gears it will put a huge grin on your face it makes you feel like Steve McQueen riding that bike at the end of "The great escape" ,and it sounds the same as well ,sorry for the long post i think i have fallen for this miracle machine .chris

I was in two minds whether to buy this beauty or just keep looking at it and thinking how it feels to own one 😁. The moment you mentioned Mental Health and the fact that riding might actually help to heal within, my decision was made. Thanks for the video buddy. Booked one! Happy Riding.

This bike is so much more than the specs... Have had mine now for about 10 weeks, just hit 500 miles. DId the first service (oil/filter, valves, etc) and enjoy it more every time I ride. Got my son one too and our buddy also got one. They're all beautiful and different colors - Bronze/Chrome, Halcyon Grey, and Halcyon Green. I've owned a lot of bikes since I started riding as a kid in 1971. Many of them spectacular, but none of them get the attention this one does! If you're shy and don't like people, don't buy one...you'll get asked about it wherever you are! Also, I'm 6'-4". 230lbs, and it's very - surprisingly comfortable. I moved the shifter up one tooth and moved the bars back slightly - about 1/2" or so. Perfection! Only thing that bummed me out was the early valve check/adjustment. Moreso the cost - two local dealers wanted $500US and $630US respectively. Insane, right? Found a great local shop that did it for $165 and I put in Motul 5100 15w50. Purring like a cat now! Just ordered some parts from hitchcocks in the UK - 16 tooth front sprocket, and a new kit with an oiled air filter and more free-flowing cap. Should be here this week. I've read good things about both. Also, in keeping with more UK bits, I got a Beeline Moto GS puck. Fantastic device! Very easy to read in day or night, and is a nice alternative to riding with a big hone strapped to your bars! Nice video - thanks for posting. If anyone is even thinking of getting one, unless you don't understand it's limits with a smaller motor, don't hesitate. It's the most fun i've had in 50 years!!! Ride Safe 🙏🏼

That’s exactly what I did! I got one as my 2nd bike , the side covers are indeed made of metal, the left side one contains the air filter, I’m finding that I take the 350 out more for my shorter trips , I’m glad you rode it , I get tons of compliments on this bike !! 👍🏼

Been riding the Halcyon Grey 350 for a few days now and am in love

Nice of you to include a message on mental health, "stay happy out there" sometimes we forget.

Thank you for another great review. You do us all a real service, not only with your reviews but also with your openness and honesty about mental health issues. I am so tempted by this bike, and I love that it comes with a USB port! Cheers from California.

I just bought a Royal Enfield Classic 2023 in Texas, the land of Harley Davison, and I’m super delighted and have received more good comments on this bike that with my HD Heritage. Just saying.

Much love from Bangalore, India my man! Great review. Mental health is no longer something to really hide I guess, but a buddy that we have to live with and manage. It's just that we talk more openly about it these days and mad props to you for doing that! Love your videos man!

Got mine in "Signals Marsh Grey" colourway last week....really love everything about the bike cos the speed limit here in Singapore is only 90km/hr so I dont really need a super fast bike anyway 🤣🤣🤣 And that exhaust note...I could just turn it on and listen to that all day long 😁😁😁

Excellent review bro. You really captured the essence of the bike. I love the old trailer and Land Rover too, well done.👍🏼👍🏼

I've put 1,000 miles on my halcyon green classic and it's been money well spent. Review is spot-on.

On the brakes you are correct they are the budget arm of brembo 👌🏻

In Australia, in another lifetime, in 1963/64, I rode a 1959 Triumph Thunderbird, and had the same such visor over the headlight. We referred to them as pedestrian cutters, that should we hit a person, the leading edge could inflict a serious injury. Later, the Transport Authority did indeed outlaw them for that very reason. I am looking forward to buying my first ever Royal Enfield 350 Classic in the next few weeks, and naturally have soaked up as many reviews on this bike as I can find on RU-vid. Interestingly, in all of these reviews, I have found them all positive in their appraisal of the bike...

Wonderful little bike. I really love the looks of it and that brown color completes the classic vibes.

Have been watching all the reviews on the classic 350, and the more I see the more I’m tempted to get one, good fair review cheers mate. 👍 And yes it’s good to talk, we all have demons to deal with from time to time. Say safe say happy.🙏✊

Loved watching this, mate. Bigger isn't always better. Cheers from the better cricketing nation. 🇦🇺

8:49 That's the authentic exhaust note 👌👌👌

Good and honest review. I bought one on the back of Mr Dobbs review and following a test ride on this bike from B.T..It sits nicely in the garage with my Bonneville. It's a lovely relaxed ride and always makes me smile.

Great review! thanks, ride safe!

Great review, thank you.

Great review. My favorite bike on the market right now. Take care of yourself.

Very nice video, you pretty much nailed this bike. I bought my Bronze Chrome 4 weeks ago and is already due it’s 1st service. I bought for exactly what you said it was good for, relaxed country lane rides; feels totally planted and safe. Good build too, no rattles at all. FTR, those side pods are in fact metal not plastic. The offside one houses the air filter too. I chose not to put a small firearm in the other one, would get me shot by the fuzz, instead I can just about squeeze in a Kovix alarmed disc lock and reminder cable.

Glad you liked the bike. I bought a Marsh grey signals version about 6 weeks ago (no idea why they call it marsh grey, it's olive drab green). It will not win any races that's for sure, but it has its own presence on the road and gets lots of questions and looks. Easy to ride and handles well. It may look great on the back roads of the UK but it also knocks it out of the park on the Pacific Coast Highway here in Southern California as the Harley riders give it a thumbs up as they pass you. The stock seat is a bit uncomfortable after an hour or so but i have a comfort seat on order from India on the way. I have a few bikes that are bigger and more powerful, but this is the one that's getting ridden at the moment and is the most fun by far.

Lovely chilled out review, thank you. Totally agree about the pillion seat, first thing I did was to remove that and the rear pegs. As for the little handles, the one on the LHS anyway, is brilliant to lift the bike onto the centre stand, another feature many manufacturers charge extra for. As for the price, the chrome model is the most expensive, The Haycyon series are a couple of hundred pounds cheaper, making it even more brilliant value. Stay safe, stay happy keep the good vibes going! 🦄

What a great review. I really like your style .👍

Fantastic review 👌 great job👍

My Triumph, Kawasaki , Royal Enfield dealer just got a couple of the brown Classic 350s like you were riding and I am so tempted to make one a second bike BUT my garage is already full and something would have to be sold. Too many choices but such a great deal on a bike that looks so good and has such stellar reviews. I'm going to have to try one but hopefully I can contain my enthusiasm enough to keep my wallet in my pocket!

Great review! I own a Meteor 350 and it is a wonderful motorcycle too!

Thank you for reviewing a bike I am definately interested in buying and also highlighting mental health, something I continue to struggle with.

Great vid bro! 👍👍👍

Good review, and you get the whole ethos of the little 350 enfield's 😉

Great video pal!

This Classic 350 will be in my garage this spring.

Indeed a good looking bike, every time I see one I want one!! I just need to get the management to agree to the second bike idea and boom it’s in my garage next to my GS. Keep riding and reviewing and helping men’s mental health 👍

Really good video. Very concise and all the information anybody would need when considering this bike. I think the bike looks very authentic. It gives you the looks and the reliability and also abs (unlike some of the so called classics of old). I have had a test ride recently on both the classic 350 (same colour as the one you tested) and also the Interceptor 650. They are obviously two different kinds of bike. I did enjoy the performance of the 650 but also liked the quaintness and better (in my opinion) of the 350 so I am torn between the two! Having ridden both of them yourself , what do you think? On a last note, I really applaud your bravery in highlighting your mental health issues and feel sure that things will improve for you soon and that If you need to go back on antidepressants for a short time then so be it. Best wishes.

Angus we are seeing More and More Royal Enfields on our Roads for good reason, They are reasonable Priced A Great Design to an ever ageing biker community Cheep to run And lots of fun on our British Back lanes If I had the space and the cash I would seriously think about having one in my garage Great Review Pal 👏👏👏

Just brought mine home tonight. First time I am completely satisfied with a purchase I made 😂😂😂

I have a 2020 500 bullet love it Now today I took out a demonstrator classic 350 OMG I was so impressed what a smooth bike the difference was like chalk and cheese still like my bike but very tempted to trade mine for one just a fantastic bike

Really like this brown chrome color, i think jt would look great with a brown touring seat and yes no pillion seat, It's hiding that all so gorgeous chrome on that rear mudguard.

Best classic review ive seen

Grear video mate and appreciate the mental health awareness. Motorbiking is always the best remedy

Hey man, you should check out the bobber edition of this wee motor- looks absolutely lovely. Comprises of a single seat, springs, bar end mirrors and a screen.. all re accessories that can be added on. Really transforms it in to a little 350 beast 👌🏻🤘🏻

The navigation bit you refer to is the 'Tripper pod' 👍🏻

This new model RE 350 classic is so awesome 👌

Nice one. It's on my list. 👍

Love this. Dreamy❤️ bike. I wish I had one.

Decent review. I have four of the new Enfield's and cannot fault them at all. I bought all mine new but wouldn't say that second hand deals are brilliant. These things have great residual values.

Indeed ! a blessing from the RE to the world👌

These are great bikes I have one as my second to my speedmaster 👍

Beautiful machine

Nice review, thank you. I bought a new 2022 RE 350 Classic in Halcyon Grey (comes with a nice brown seat), which looks like a powder/baby blue. I have been riding 40+ years & I love it! Sweet spot is 80-85km/hr, surprisingly smooth motor, 100mpg imperial, amazingly comfortable seat, beautiful details. 115 km/hr is top for me, 95kg. Only issue is my headlight shade/eyebrow rattles like a bastard! Those in the know say to put a bead of silicone to remedy this. Other than that, this one is a keeper !!!! Cheers from Canada, Ronny

Beautiful classic looking bike. I had a meteor 350, excellent build quality. Felt very sure on the road. It wasn’t quick, or fast, but it sure was fun, smiled every time I putted around on it. 👍. A 650cc styled like this classic would be a huge hit ! I think Royal Enfield may have one in the works ? 🤔

They really are lovely looking bikes and Enfield paint pallet is so cool " Triumph take note'' never been a single fan but I could go for one of these probably the 500 bullet and I know they no longer produce it but I think a couple more horses might be better , this would be a second bike though but we'll see next year how it goes good watch mate nice one 😉👌👍

Phenomenal bike. A tremendous Indian treasure and all who can get their hands on one, are blessed!

excellent review modern and nostalgic on a budgetn hope i can find a supplier in Cyprus where i |Live

S&W empty is not worth carrying, but a Ruger revolver, loaded, well now you're talking! Great Vid. Thank you. ('Smith' guys are gonna hate me for that!)

At the time of me adding this comment, there are 189 comments and I haven`t read them all, so excuse me if I am repeating someone else`s comment. I love my Classic 350, red / chrome and I`m sure most owners would agree. My comment is about your reference to a `Smith and Western` revolver, which should, of course be `Smith and Wesson`. Nice video.

I can't wait to get 1 i was hoping to get before my b-day 01/02/2024 but sometimes life throws you a curveball but soon i will have my dream bike i hope

Thanks for the review. I just bought one, but live in Minnesota, so I can’t ride till April. Lol

Pretty bike!

You’re right Bybre is a subsidiary of Brembo. Bybre stands for „by Brembo". Nice Video, cheers Angus! 👍🏻

When you convert pounds for our currency here in Brazil, it is even cheaper here and it is gorgeous ! I was thinking of buying one and every video I watch makes me want it even more

Price: by way of comparison the XRV Africa Twin was 5,300 GBP in 1992. The Classic 350 is a great little bike. One of these as a second bike makes a lot of sense, but so do several other small capacity bikes. The Classic looks better with the rear seat removed, like you say. Bybre = By Bembro.

I have already ridden this heavy machine armoured with metals and iron.......the engine is slightly been retuned compare to CI and UCE as it is developed under J series platform and the next part of the context is the vibrations which has been reengineered and reworked in such a way that the vibrations is slightly been under control though it is above 195 kilograms because of ABS and disc but the best part which I liked is the colour themes or pallets which has been used specially the Halycon green and the chrome red and brown..... and the suspension setup is well engineered and the seats I at first glimpse thought it is a bucket seat which is slightly been scooped out but when I observes it closely it is one of the probable comfortable seats if buyers or riders doesn't bother to opt from or go for retro fittment overall my verdict it is good to go buck your penny for this.....💗💗

Can you install lowering kits on these? Im only 5’5. Would love to lower it by 32mm along with the low rider seat. I reckon that’s cheaper than getting lowering shocks.

That little hood over the headlight is called a cowl. Every body who had an old Bullet in India always fitted one.

Great video buddy.....GET ONE!!!! 🤣

I have no arguments against this lovely bike, but I will go keeping my "Old" model Classic 500, nevertheless it is very viby.

Can you choose brown seats? I feel it would look better with the bronze paint finish

Its the most important model in the Indian Market thats why they did extra care in the build quality.

Mentions Smith & Wesson and an American turns up. As an American I can concur that's how we roll.

Classic & Bullet 650 coming soon. Old school lovers be ready with $$$.

Nice review - headlight peak called a " nancelle

All the classic tanks golden stripes are hand painted 😊👍

Bybre- short for "By Brembo"!👍👍

Is this model still in production. ? 2024 ? I think they have a world beater .im old enough to remember the E type jag new on the roads making the same reaction years later.

I wish they had kept the old speedo from the 500, and just stuck a little LCD in the blank spot. Or just left the LCD off, I know it's a bit of a nit pick on my part, but just takes a bit away from the bike for me.

Such a nice bike! Kinda poor man’s Speedmaster 😂😂

Had the REborn Classic 350 in my sights, and for quite a while now. That's until I noticed the Triumph SpeedMaster. Now I'm torn and flip flop between the two. Or even the Kawasaki Vulcan S 650. Or the Triumph Scrambler. Dang it. We are so spoiled for choice. With it being a hobby N toy: it's a sweet dilemma.

Bybre.....by brembo. Beautiful bikes, when the 650 version is released, I think it'll be even more popular than the Interceptor. 😁

Sadly, talking to my dealer royal enfield will be increasing the price of all the range in the coming months, so I'm not sure exactly by how much of an increase it will be 🤷🏻‍♂️

Eyup bro me to re mental health crying etc the whole shebang, now on sertraline 50 mil feel absolutely great ps thank god for bikes had loads over the last 49 years ? bought the 350 classic in june done 2700 miles already better than any shrink ☺ take care my friend.

😎👍👍👍😎

I wonder if the 4x4 driver had a Smith & Wesson?

You keep saying single engine. How many engines do you think motorcycles have?

Have you got one yet Dude???? 😄

BYBRE = By Brembo. Indian subsidiary.

DJ(hidden information) that's you isn't it?

🇦🇺👍👍💯✌️

its bronze redang.

Single cylinder not single engine

Bad place to put a tracker, so easy to get into, literally take seconds 😬

Single as in cylinder and single engine is not the same🙄 And that was not a Wrangler🤭

190 kg plus wow for a gutless 20 hp engine will be working hard 40 years old bikes better eg xt 500 yamaha 50 kgs lighter 27 hp

Nothing authentic about this bike.
