Long Term Review | Royal Enfield Classic 350 | The Pure Essence of this Modern Classic Motorcycle.

Well thanks to your excellent reviews, I took the plunge and bought myself a stealth dark. So thanks for all your help.

It's a perfect gentleman's motorcycle that never gets old... Simple mechanism, simple tech♥️

In India riders take this bike on 4000kms (2500 mile) ride from Southern most tip of Kanyakumari upto Leh in Himalayas. It is considered to be the baptism of the rider and the bike.

I love my RE Classic 350. I don’t care about speed or over taking other vehicles. Just cruising along at speeds of 35 - 50 MPH is so relaxing. I absolutely love it!

It's a Royal Enfield, designed to go on any road in India, which basically means it can go on any road in the world. Takes you back to a time when Firemen still wore brass helmets, police men wore pointy helmets, and milkmen delivered the milk in glass bottles. Charming, rugged and reliable. 👍

Been in India for the past 6 months and I noticed that this bike was everywhere, and I thought the styling on some of them was awesome. I ended up having a go on one and thought it felt great to ride. I did a load of research and ended up finding your channel and have watched each of your videos on this bike. I have now ordered one and its waiting for me when I get back to the UK in September.

Your the main reason I have recently purchased one and hopefully receive fairly soon. Thank you sir and yes nailed it about what this bike is all about. Enjoy your content. Muchas gracias 👍

This bike is an absolute gem 💎. I love it. I've sold my big Pan European and bought a halcyon green Classic 350. Now I have this idiotic grin 😁 from ear to ear every time I go out for a ride. And I am also a tall man - 188cm. I may look weird on the RE, but I don't care. I care about the way I feel. And it feels great.

I have a Royal Enfield classic from the 80s. Still works great for me. This is a gentleman’s bike. No fuss, no bling, just a plain, simple, rugged, well engineered machine. It suits my personality.

Bang on OM You've had it for more than just the usual once round the houses review . So we value your opinon highly. Just finished running my classic in . Purrs like a long stroke kitten. Im 6ft.1" and 13.5 stone (85 kg) find it spot on . Did 100 miles non stop around Suffolk the other day . 7 quid on fuel. Felt better and more comfortable than my previous Kawasaki Vulcan VN900 Custom Special Agreed if you want a performance bike dont touch these bikes with a barge pole But If you want relaxed riding with character and soul in your bike , in my opinion you cant get better than these little Enfield 350s. All at a bargain basement price, but not bargain basement quality . They are built better than many machines costing 3 times the price . Love the return to basic pure biking .

I fell in love with this bike whilst visiting India earlier this year. We had 3 adults on it, riding up a steep mountain and did the job just fine, albeit slowly.  BTW, Cool is riding the bike you want, wearing the clothes you want and not giving a damn what other people think.

we use Enfield in India For Everything, from enjoying Offroads in Himalayas, to urban use, to Highway transit from state to state.

My first bike, thanks to you and Freddie Dobbs. Great bike.

I've followed closely your interactions with the Royal Enfield Classic 350 because I was convinced it was the "exploration tool" that I wanted. I had test rode the Triumph Bonneville and Street Twin, motorcycles that I've coveted for a long time, and just had to acknowledge it was not the understated machine I was after. My plans to purchase a Classic 350 was interrupted by serendipity when the mechanic doing the annual safety inspection of the Himalayan told me she was selling her 2001 Kawasaki W650. That bike was exactly what I was after in terms of ride, simplicity, styling, and understated power. Something I'm certain from your descriptions the Classic 350 would deliver. So after a few miles of test ride the W650 was bought. It seems a close cousin of the 350 with just a bit more power. I love your reviews. Thank you for sharing them. I hope the warmer weather of Spain doesn't adversely affect your creative leanings!

Thanks for your good reviews. I’m 66 years old and 5’ 8” tall, your review of the classic has made my mind up, I’m getting one.

You looked like Tin Tin with Snowy following along there 👍🇦🇺

When I see Mr Darcy & The Ol' Man release a video I have to drop everything and get a cuppa. Time to relax and enjoy youtube. You guys are the best. Much love and respect.

In India people comparing and slamming royal Enfield for being slow, smartest answer you gave that you should know what type of rider you are

Had mine for a summer now and I really like it. It's perfect for the day trips without a destination. Mostly I use it to roam around the small roads, both tarmac and gravel, where 80km/h is about as fast as you'd like to go anyway. Small, easy to maneuver, reasonable clearance, an engine that just won't cut out even if you get close to 0rpm, maintenance that can be easily sorted at home without special equipment, cheap extra, extremely good looks, etc.... It is a bike that becomes what you make it into. As long as you can accept it's not a speed demon, you WILL love this bike.

I've just got back from a four day tour of the Isle of Wight, starting from Milton Keynes. Fully loaded with camping gear and a 15 stone rider. No problems, really comfy, sounds amazing. Can't wait to do it again. Don't be put of by the hp, it really doesn't feel under powered.
