Style i would assume the styling of the electra twinspark is an acquired taste, but to my opinion the design cues are somewhat confused. It looks like it would have been called a retro styled bike if we were still in the 1980s. It is a retro design, but isn't particular to any decade of design. The tailpipe is astonishingly beautiful, so is the paint job on the fuel tank.
Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox it is quite evident that the engine is powerful. Given that this is a 350 cc bike, one would assume it would have a top speed that would allow it to outpace a 150cc pulsar, but that just simply isn't the case. The gearing is ludicrously short. Here are my estimated top speeds:
1st gear - 18kmph
2nd gear - 33kmph
3rd gear - 45kmph
4th gear - 58kmph
5th gear - 75kmph
that's right, 75 kmph is the speed you can expect to take it upto. I have taken it upto 85 kmph but it felt like the handlebars might have fallen off while the engine exploded. The gearing is truly pathetic.
It averages about 35kmpl with harsh riding which is reasonably good.
The only thing good about this engine is that weight will not be a problem, it will keep its slow pace with or without a pillion rider.
Ride quality & handling the handlebars tranfer a lot of vibrations, especially at moderately high revs. Apart from this it sits quite comfortably on the road. The characteristic bullet exhaust sounds good with the stock exhaust, you won't get sick of the way it sounds.
For a bike that weighs close to 200kgs, this bike handles quite well. Apart from having to move it out of tight parking spaces and awkward situations, you won't be disappointed with how flickable it is through traffic.
Final words i bought this bike and immediately realised the front disk brake was delivered bent. Took it to the service station where they try their best to dismiss any problem, they greased it up and attributed the 'steeping' in the brakes as something that happens on new bikes. A few moments later the grease wore off and the stepping was back. Pleading with them to do something with the brake will yield you to just pay more without anything being done. I finally decided to take my bike in for a service and ordered the brake disk be changed without telling them why.
This is where things get interesting. They tried to convince me that they had changed the , but unfortunately they hadn't. The bend in the disk was still visible. They tried theyre best by polishing it in front of me to convince me it would 'wear in' and the stepping would disappear. I refused and asked them to change the disk in front of me, they did and voila, the problem was solved. It was nonetheless a supremely bitter argument to resolve a matter of safety. I never want to go back to the service centre and as a result will be selling this heavily mis-managed piece of history.
Other incidents include my clutch wire snapping mid-ride and nearly causing me to crash into traffic.
If you do decide to buy this bike, or any royal enfield for that matter, make sure you have a close friend who happens to be a mechanic or else be prepared to watch as the authorised mechanics of royal enfield slowly disect your engine when you ask for a disk brake change. You would be much better off with an avenger even it is completely unoriginal.
Areas of improvement better, competent service. Complaint boxes.
Pros
torquey engine, handling, well finished fuel tank and paint job, beautiful stock exhaust pipe
cons
unimaginably low top speed, poor assembly of parts, vibrations, service

I'm happy to write about my bike Bullet Electra 350 which was used for about 10 years. Still running strong no major issues faced to date, i likely would thank to Royal Enfiled company for making such a fantastic machine which really reliable and trustworthy. While in terms of maintenance, it's very reasonable. Happy customer.

The bike you shouldn't buy!
6 years ago
Debjit Adhikari
The buying experience would not be termed as unique when i found out that the bike didn't come with a leg guard. The back rest for the pillion rider need to be cushioned as it was just a thin rod which gave immense back ache if put pressure on. Riding experience isn't exciting too with a lot of backache & body ache culminating from a very jerky ride once you cross the 80 km mark. It might get smooth after 100 but not safe. At 120 it seemed that all the parts will start falling apart. Looks are ok but performance is bad. The only bright side is the fuel efficiency which give over 40 km/liter for long distances. Braking is not very efficient for a bike of this size. Servicing this bike is a nightmare. Once you cross the warranty period you realise what a big hole this bike is going to dent in your pocket. After spending more than 25k per year this bike is anything but good. After 5 years the only thing that is still the company's fitted is the engine. You have to change nearly everything after each service. It seems this bike is kind of emotionally involved with the service station. The silencer falls off if you are not careful. Pros -good looks & fuel efficiency. Cons - everything.

The riding experience will good with this bike. I have done lots of off road travel through this bike. The performances were quite good. Major issues with this bike are following:
1. Gear issue: you will face trouble to change gear and in few days you will have to change your entire gear set
2. It is required to change clutch plate several times
3. Self start issue is real challenging here. Even kick start used to give trouble.
4. Too much expensive (every 2.5 months) after riding of 30 k kilometer.
5. Oil seal problem is a chronic with enfield.
6. Electrical issue is also there in bike. No one can judge whether is a problem of bike or battery.

The bike you shouldn't buy!
6 years ago
Debjit Adhikari
The buying experience would not be termed as unique when i found out that the bike didn't come with a leg guard. The back rest for the pillion rider need to be cushioned as it was just a thin rod which gave immense back ache if put pressure on. Riding experience isn't exciting too with a lot of backache & body ache culminating from a very jerky ride once you cross the 80 km mark. It might get smooth after 100 but not safe. At 120 it seemed that all the parts will start falling apart. Looks are ok but performance is bad. The only bright side is the fuel efficiency which give over 40 km/liter for long distances. Braking is not very efficient for a bike of this size. Servicing this bike is a nightmare. Once you cross the warranty period you realise what a big hole this bike is going to dent in your pocket. After spending more than 25k per year this bike is anything but good. After 5 years the only thing that is still the company's fitted is the engine. You have to change nearly everything after each service. It seems this bike is kind of emotionally involved with the service station. The silencer falls off if you are not careful. Pros -good looks & fuel efficiency. Cons - everything.

Experience of my supper boy

It's a good two wheeler as compared to others, gives more stability and control.Actually i have used my brothers bike so no buying experience, as i said for a good comfort ride you can use this one. It looks like a old classic bullet with gives more attraction.I liked the performance and the pulling, in the case of millage also am satisfied.Really its an elephant no one can dominate him.

3. Electra gives more mileage when compare to other re bike.
4. Services are same as other re bikes.
5. Pros : low cost in re, pick up is good, weight is less while comparing with other re bikes.
Cons : back brake is drum, company tyre is very thin so we need to put a big tyre for our safety.
Overall, its worth the money.

Vintage kings royal enfield

I’m using re electra 350 from 2015. But i was my dream bike from childhood. I love vintage bikes and re is like legend and has history. I have brought new bike at 2015 January that to today we are travelling long distance some where near by easily 3-5k kms. You feel amazing on long trip that to hill stations. I’m love with my bike for travelling long distance and hill stations road trip journey simply superb. I don't have words to describe the feelings as well as performance. The one important about my re electra 350 was gifted by my mom. It was special and super special . This bike is for city but preferably for long distance and traveler who love biking.

Enjoy riding with trouble.
7 years ago
Indranil Srimani
The riding experience will good with this bike. I have done lots of off road travel through this bike. The performances were quite good. Major issues with this bike are following:
1. Gear issue: you will face trouble to change gear and in few days you will have to change your entire gear set
2. It is required to change clutch plate several times
3. Self start issue is real challenging here. Even kick start used to give trouble.
4. Too much expensive (every 2.5 months) after riding of 30 k kilometer.
5. Oil seal problem is a chronic with enfield.
6. Electrical issue is also there in bike. No one can judge whether is a problem of bike or battery.
