- Could be used for a special edition Classic 350
- Unlikely to be used for the Classic 350 Bobber
Royal Enfield has trademarked the Goan Classic 350 name in India. Although it is yet to be confirmed which motorcycle will feature this nomenclature, we believe Royal Enfield could use this name for a special edition of the Classic 350.
The Goan Classic 350 could get special edition paint schemes along with custom decals. The name seems to have been inspired by the party capital of India - Goa, which also sits well with the bike maker as Royal Enfield has its Garage Cafe in Goa, and celebrates its annual motorcycle festival, Motoverse aka Rider Mania, in the state as well.
While certain reports claim that the Goan Classic 350 could be the upcoming bobber version of the Classic 350, we believe that Royal Enfield wouldn’t consider diluting the brand. Moreover, Royal Enfield has never used an existing brand name for a new model.
Since we expect the Goan Classic 350 to be a special edition model, the underpinnings and engine might remain unchanged. So, the motorcycle will use a 349cc, air/oil-cooled motor that will make 20.2bhp at 6,100rpm and 27Nm at 4,000rpm. The engine will come paired with a five-speed gearbox.
