About the Reviewer

Bullet, the only running machine, a beast which always been a pride for people at all ages rocking since several decades. It carries our ancestors success. Bullet gives me smooth driving experience and much safer bike in road having complete grip control with road. I strongly recommend everyone to have this beast your family member.

About the Reviewer

We got this bike from mancherial which is located near my hometown.. It took less than one-month to get the bike on road

As now i'm loving the experience of riding this

Black, standard look

Easy maintenance and services also good

I'm missing petrol indicator on this bike

Electric start is preferable

Except this it's worth

About the Reviewer

It's not a bike for me anymore its an extension part of my soul. Every-time i drive it's takes me to the other world and shows me the meaning of life. Life is not just to spend time in office or family. It's the time to spend for yourself and be yourself. Old classic look blended with uce engine to match your speed. Low cost service and long durability of spares if you ride the bike as if it your lover but not as prostitute. Speed is obviously which will not match with plastic bikes.

About the Reviewer

Riding experience:- i am feeling very proud to share with you my riding experience of my royal infield , the dhanno that's my bike name, and i have covered almost twenty thousand km together and it is rather unfortunate that it was in and around delhi, noida that most of the riding had been done. So, purely from a commuting perspective, the royal infield is near perfect. With 346 cc engine that produces 19.8bhp , the royal infield has more than enough power to potter around the city. Rather than a blistering flat out performance, royal infield engineers have tuned infield's engine for a matured power delivery and a strong mid-range. Keep the motorcycle maximum 5250rpm and you will realise that the torque (4000rpm) is at its best in this rev range. It might not set your pulse racing but it can easily overtake 2-3 cars with just a twist of the wrist and a single up shift and keep you ahead of the pack. Even towards the top of the rev counter, the engine remains unperturbed. I am impressed to find out that there are hardly any vibrations on the palm grips and the foot pads.

Thanks royal infield to give us such a royal vehicle.

About the Reviewer

Hi,

I’m using a classic 350 for around two years and have ridden it for around 25000 km. So i guess i can review this motorcycle fairly.

Buying experience:

I had already done my research about this bike and had decided to buy the classic 350. At their kandivali west showroom, sales guys did their job clearing some doubts i had. They were hard selling the louder exhaust though. I booked my bike and had to wait for 9 months to get the bike. Waited another month to get the registration done.

Riding experience:

I liked riding this bike a lot. Before this, i had a yamaha gladiator. I still do. Initially i felt the classic 350 was a powerful bike but that was only in comparison with the gladiator. But as i clocked more and more miles on the bike i realise that it is damn sluggish and buying a royal enfield is a fad.

It is under powered. I know some enfield owners think that this bike is not supposed to be powerful. Well, i don't want my bike to be a race machine, but i need power to overtake quickly. The bike takes some time to gain speed. Acceleration is slow. Also, the bike really struggles past the speed of 90km/h. I have taken the bike till 110km/h but the bike vibrates so much at speeds beyond 80 km/h. I’d like to get a torquey bike especially when i’m touring.

Another issue is the vibrations. Engine is not rubber mounted. Actually nothing on the bike is rubber mounted. So a lot of vibrations. You tend to get tired on long rides. Only plus side is that the seating position is comfortable for touring. Also, since the bike vibrates a lot, you need to keep a check on all nuts and bolts getting loose.

Servicing and maintenance:

Always serviced my bike at authorised re workshop. Tried kandivali and jogeshwari. Both are equally bad. They don't take an effort to understand the problem. They usually hard sell engine flushing. They don't service as per what's written in the manual. Sure, riding the bike post service feels good because of the oil change but most of the issues remain unsolved.

Here are the pros and cons of owning a classic 350:

Pros.

1. Styling. Retro design and amazing paint job.

2. Fuel economy. I have been consistently getting 40 kmpl.

3. Comfort. The riding position is upright and the bike feels very comfortable .

Cons

1. Tires: the rear wheel can take the tire of the specs 110/90-18. It is a weird size. No manufacturer makes this size. Mrf specially makes the tires of this size for royal enfield. Finding the tube for the rear wheel is a big task in case you have to replace it. I have a tube of 100/90–18 (rear tire size for honda unicorn, hence popular) in my rear tire as i couldn’t find the right size anywhere. Since the bike has spoke wheels, you cannot install tubeless tires. And in case you are thinking of up-sizing your wheels and tyres, you cannot do it without modifying your bike (getting a new swing arm). And if you do that, it changes the gear ratios as the wheel size changes.

2. Clutch cable: it brakes frequently. Always a good idea to keep a spare with your tool kit. Mine broke twice in one year and i was lucky to get access to a spare cable when it happened. Also, the clutch feels a little hard. In peak hour mumbai traffic, when you need to use the clutch a lot, it gets really uncomfortable.

3. Under powered

4. Vibrations

5. Issues relating to the weight of the motorcycle

The bike is heavy. One thing i know about the tourers; is that, they always want their bike smaller and lighter. Keeping that aside, the bike has weight issues and it trickles down to the bearings supporting the wheels. Had mine replaced thrice in a year. I was facing a problem where the bike would weaver around and not go straight if i kept the speed between 30 and 40km/h. It would be a little tricky while turning at that speed especially in the rain. Changed the bearings and the problem got solved.

The ‘cons’ i have mentioned are experienced first hand. No one told me about them when i was asking people their opinion about the bike before buying it. I think i’m done with this bike for now. Had a really nice time with it but i need to move on to an intermediate bike to my ultimate touring bike, triumph tiger. I’ll probably get used to handling power with a kawasaki versys x 300 when it gets launched. Then i shall buy my ultimate travel companion, triumph tiger.
