About the Reviewer

The Bullet 350 by Royal Enfield is a classic embodiment of timeless design and robust performance. With its iconic thumping engine, the motorcycle delivers a raw and authentic riding experience. The sturdy build, comfortable seating, and distinctive retro styling contribute to its charm. The bike's torquey engine provides ample power for both city commutes and highway cruising. However, its somewhat outdated features, like drum brakes and kick-start, might not appeal to those seeking modern conveniences. Overall, the Bullet 350 is a revered choice for riders who prioritize a nostalgic riding feel and an enduring design in a no-nonsense package.

About the Reviewer

1. Buying experience - was well purchased on the eve of the Deepawali festival.
2. Riding experience - using this bike from last almost 7 years daily, was ok kind not like its the best bike ever designed for king-like comfort totally lie.
3. Details about looks, and performance:-
A. I am a fan of vintage kinds of bikes so purchased them, I am good with a look as I purchased the bike after seeing it physically.
B. Bear in mind, with a lot of maintenance, people mislead you by saying it's a white elephant so needs royal feed - if that is the case then the bike output must also be like an elephant right, just looks like an elephant but in-fact its dummy elephant.
C. Low-quality material used color fades within a year or so, and mudguards start rusting within a year you have to replace everything chain pocket, clutch wire, rear brake, backside hand holder, indicators and wiring, headlight and so on except the engine, if that part also came in with problem then you are totally gone.
D. Without battery it never starts - even if it's only a bike with a kick, not auto start.
4. Servicing and maintenance
A. Service people are only good at writing down the issue and creating invoice without mistake, they never solve the actual problems you mentioned except water wash(they does it well).
B. If I call anyone from my family for a long ride of 300-400 km they directly say no, they know out of 400 km you have to walk 200 km while pushing the bike.
Pros and cons:
Pointers:
1. We can proudly say I have a bike worth 1.35l only.
2. Good to show people around in the parking.
3. Every 5k run with even low mileage also needs a lot of maintenance every other day new problem shows.
4. You will replace all the parts in 3-4 years for sure.
Suggestion:
1. Take a mid-range bike like splendor(dad owns it for 19 years), which asks only timely service of cost 700-800 rupees on 2000km run and petrol how much do you use a bike that's it?
2. No headache like clutch wire cuts in the middle of the road, no parts replacement often, bike start problem with the battery, finding right mechanic everywhere (this bullet mechanic showcases themself like surgeon) , if you go for physician(heart. General) checkup usually they take visiting charge of 500-600, but these bike surgeon fixed rate to touch the bike is 800 minimum in my area.
Happy path: dad suggested I take a second-hand car after seeing all these, and loaned 2l rupees by adding another 50k rupees from my saving and taking alto 800 lxi, till now after purchase only changed part is the battery never stopped, any fear of middle road stay. It asks only for petrol and regular service as expected from every middle-class buyer.
I am not a promoter or salesperson, a sad soul with a mid-range salary, I know the pain of earning.
Middle-class bullet buyer.
