रॉयल एनफील्डक्लासिक 350

It was a dream come true to own a classic 350. It all started when my big brother gave a chance to be his pillion way back in 1973 on his CI standard bullet. He touched 100 Kmph and slipped it into neutral. It cruised for about one and half km like a dream. I was hooked to it and somewhere in my heart a desire to own a bullet one day was planted . The throbbing power the vehicle delivers with finesse was something awe inspiring. Used to drool over shining knight in steel armour so to say. The famous saying Once you ride a bullet, you are fucked for life was not known to me but thats what happened for me too. It took almost 40 years for me to finally own a bullet. In Classic 350 UCE avatar. Before that, had run with Jawa, Rajdoot, Vicky, Lambretta, Vijay Super. When came to owning a first bike it was interestingly, an Enfield Mini Bullet 200 CC. It is a great bike and served ( ing ) still 35 years over and going strong). Well, Classic 350 selection was a big task, as there are too many combos, std, thunderbird, 500 and again 3 varients to add confusion. Teknik Motors Indiranagar, Bangalore was the dealer who could go many extra miles to give me test rides, experience rides on all the models and help me take a decission. Mr. Mathew the Manager was always smiling with a twinkle of mischief and ever so helpful in letting me take decission. The best advise he gave for all my modification doubts, was,, Sir, just buy the stock vehicle, ride it for at least 5000 kms and then decide what really you need that factory offering does not give you. It was great advice. 18000 kms over, and I am in love with factory offered ergonomics, cylencer, etc. Only rare view mirrors I have changed to bar end ones. Performance wise, the bike is outstanding and runs like a dream. Its a gentle man of a bike and never lets you down. whether it is slow 20s are fast 120. Its a bike that you can count on. Vibes is something RE is overly blamed for. I can tell you guys, there is no bike without vibes at one or other RPM Band. Vibes are very useful language with which an automobile talks to you about its health, eagerness and strain. Its upto us to understand and correct the thing. I am with Royal Gun Oil, as recommended by the company and find no great shake of vibes to worry about. Give and take, its the best alrounder bike that we can own and use without worrying about maintenance and spares. I have done 2200 km round trip of Bangalore,-Madurai-Kanyakumari-Rameswaram-Kumbakonam-Tanjavur-Srirangam-Bengalore with my wife as pillion. I am 59 and my wife is 57 and we just enjoyed the trip. No maintenance issues, No loose bolts, No falling of parts etc . The vehicle has performed like a mercedez benz. I got about 45 KMPL overall trip. My average speeds were as per the road rules strictly and I found it a breeze. If we can be responsible drivers with speed limits and safety in mind, then RE Classic 350 is a perfect gentleman bike with oodles of charecter, power and oomph too. Happy biking for many miles with smiles subu

I ordered my bike in makati Philippines from Hordcore bros last year in November , I asked for delivery in April of the red classic 350 with front disc as I’m from uk working in Canada but now living in Philippines. About 2 months ago the sales manager , Onie messaged to say they have the gun metal grey with 2 discs if I wanted to change as I had asked originally for that . I can’t fault RE in makati for service and response , I could not get bike in April due to work so I only collected at the end October 18 . My wife met me in Manila and we rode the bike about 700 Kms home to our village , the bike was faultless over mountains and on the expressway out of Manila. We have covered 1900 kms now in just short of a month and I only replaced a small bulb in one of the cats eyes next to headlight but that’s ok with me . The bike handles great on twisty mountain roads banking low at even 20 kmh it just holds the road . It’s low torque let’s it of along nicely in high gear low speed. Over all I Must say I love the bikes looks and ability , I don’t know what km per litre it’s getting but it seems great on fuel if ridden sensible . I have read reviews saying of vibrations , you people need to learn to ride to conditions and stop thinking that you need to be in high gear quick .. listen to the motor and feel the need of it , a good rider will not labour the engine until it shakes to pieces , it’s not economical as you imagine it’s damaging . Also why do you expect such an old design classic to perform like a modern bike ? .. your buying it as it is a classic so treat it as one . I am 60 years of age and ridden many makes of bike and usually favour Honda , but this time I have no regrets buying a Royal Enfield and I will keep this until my last ride without complaining like a fool that classic don’t perform like modern engines haha .. crazy people .

Yes it is a bike that requires u to take care of it more than other bikes. It has the stability that is required for everyday city rides and not only that it has the comfort required for long distance trips. The engine feels to have heated if driving for long distances, but that problem is easily resolved if you change the engine oil they provide, i.e, Royal Gun 15W50. I have been using Motul 5100 15W50 engine oil for 3000 kms and it has decreased the heating problem of engine considerably, and not only that it has also lessened the engine vibrations making the ride smoother and more enjoyable. The other problem that most people say that royal enfield has low mileage is completely wrong... If u ride it like a cruiser and not like a racing bike than u are bound to get a mileage above 40. I am getting a mileage of 47 in city. I rode for 600 kms with some buddies on the hilly terrains of shillong without any problems, the twisty roads, the steep climbs all traversed on the mighty classic 350 without any problems. Use good quality petrol, lubes for ur bike. Select the best engine oil for ur bike and u r bound to love ur bike.. At the end for me Royal Enfield Classic 350 is the best bike for city rides as well as for long journeys. Ride Safe. Wear Helmet. Enjoy Ride.

For all those people commenting Bad on Royal Enfield I'll give you a simple advice. Please sell your RE. Because this is a machine. It needs at most care. Nowadays youngsters purchasing this bike handle this to be a very normal bike and end up saying this shit. It is you who you has to take care off the engine and everything. If you are complaining on the bike then seriously you are unfit to ride a Royal Enfield. You ride it as an off road vehicle and not lubricating the chains and you're f****** complaining about the vehicle. The Royal Enfield is a classic masterpiece In the automobile industry. Handling The masterpiece like shit and dogs bark on it. I have got three bikes. Kawasaki z 650, Harley Davidson and a Royal Enfield . Simply Royal Enfield is the best.
