Reviews of Royal Enfield Classic 350 [2020]

Dear RE brothers, Its an emotion but nowadays they are just playing with us and with their build quality. On potholed roads my alloy wheels cracked. It was bought 24 days ago. Have been provided with 2 years warranty but RE just bypassed their responsibility for Cash. Basirhat service center teams personal are too egoistic & have tons of attitude. RE we believe, you wont let it go. Service team of Basirhat service centre told me the reason was overload. Seriously RE?

About the Reviewer

Since you are reading this , I guess that you have already read the specification of this bike and you are here for the after purchase experience, I will give you exactly that.
Talking about looks its one of the best looking retro motorcycle out there but mind you there are a million other classics in this country and there is no exclusivity with this. So don't expect to gain attention and eyeballs on this. Its the 7th most selling motorcycle so you will find in every major traffic signal and just everywhere.
Buying experience: it was a decent experience nothing too fancy. See until they haven't sold the bike the dealership guys will be the most polite and understanding people. The problem occurs once you have purchased the motorcycle.
Riding experience: so it is a 200 kg motorcycle with 19.1 ps power which means its not the fastest , also at speeds above 60 km/hr, all the agility is gone, the bike resists to lean and filtering at highspeed is not possible, although this problem is solved in j series model.
After owning this motorcycle, you will realize that it cant beat the bajaj ns 160 or ever pulsar 150 at top speed, so you don't even try. But this matures you day by day as the young blood inside you which makes you want to race everyone on the street and prove your worth will be humbled because with this you are not winning and you wont even try which becomes a habit and ultimately you become a better rider, not intimidated by any one on the road and most importantly not racing stupidly on streets.
on highways: now after you have matured and now you will start liking the bike more and more. Specially in the highways.
It sits at 70-80 km/hr on a very low rpm of the engine. At this speed motorcycle achieves something called a flow state where it feels like you are floating on the road ( obviously of you don't have those stupidly loud exhausts installed). The feeling is very hard to describe through words and you might have heard this a lot. But i am telling you its real and you have to mature on the motorcycle to feel it. Personally for me, it calms me down and all my racing thoughts slows down. This might sound stupid and delusional but its true for and it wont occur when you have 5000 explosions in between your legs.
On city: its basically a heavy dirt bike and a lot of torque, so this will be the easiest on the city as torque available at a very low rpm helps in the constant stopping and acceleration. I haven't faced any heating issues in the city. Only sometimes due to its heaviness going back/ reversing becomes a pain.
Covering huge distances: for covering distance you need speed but after 80 km/hr it starts vibrating and the vibrations are so severe that i sometime fell it will vibrate it self to pieces. Although it never happened i have pushed the motorcycle to its top speed of 110 km/hr (gps) but surely the engine doesn't likes it.
Service and maintenance: service after every 3000 kms which is very frequent in my opinion and each service costs around 2000- 2500 rupees per service including labor charge. And if its a major service then it costs around 3500 rupees. Although the are a lot of private mechanics who will service the bike and labour cost will be minimal. And they also have the parts cheaper then enfield for some reason.
The authorized service center only knows about common problems and basic servicing, and if its a new motorcycle then they are as knowledgeable as you. Honestly the service guys only know how to change oil (at least that's the case in my area).
Also, the after sales experience is seriously bad. My bike chassis was slightly misaligned which made the bike go right. Whenever i let go of the handle bar it automatically goes right. I did a lot to get this fixed but no response from the company and the dealership guys are the rudest on the planet. I got it fixed from a mechanic which costed around 4000 rupees extra. So yeah after sales service is a hassle for what the bike has to offer. And all the videos you see on the internet about bad experience in service centers they are all true.
Other issues : the chain cleaning process is a pain because near the front sprocket cant be cleaned without draining the oil and opening the right side engine casing. Lights are halogen and pretty low power so you will need aux lamps if you wish to travel in dark. The relay for the fuel pump was dead after 2 months of buying it which eventually got me stranded in the middle of the road. The meter bulb died last week, there is no fuel guage. Although i haven't had any rusting on my bike but some might face this issue too so be mindful about it.
So, who do i recommend this motorcycle to? actually no one, see royal enfield is not the only option out there for retro motorcycle there are far better options. And it is selling motorcycles basically out of the cult following that those bikes have got. Plus the internet is filled with all the quality issues with the bikes they produce, be it the chassis breaking of the himalayan or rusting or subframe breaking of the interceptor or one cylinder dying of the 650s.
Only buy a classic 350 if you are a occasional rider and you don't bother about speeds and competing and also if you have a decent income. For students and fresh graduates please stay away from this better buy a yamaha or bajaj or ktm or honda just never go for the enfield.
And you might be thinking after all those good points of the bikes why i am pushing you away from this bike?? because buying a bike is like a relationship, you adjust on some areas to experience the best in your gf/ bf. That's how a healthy relationship works, but with this motorcycle there's more flaws than goods and my decision was also based upon emotion rather than practicality.
But , after considering all the points i will suggest that you should go for a test ride and choose whichever motorcycle you like. But always keep your expectation in check and you will be happy. Thanks peace

1. Buying experience was good but they made several promises about bike which it didn't perform in my life.
2. Riding experience is not that great, it's good for some time or some distance like 100-150 more than that its horrible and if you got a pillion then its worst for you cause you feel so powerless instead of having a 350cc vehicle and so heavy too note :: if you going for a long ride go solo I mean don't take a pillion with you in this bike its just shit
3. Details are like its good to see the bike is pretty much nice in looks , but then again performance is a downgrade 19 horsepower for 200 kg is so less its so low in power gives you vibrations all the time passing 80 km/h .
And in terms of feature it stands nowhere near the competition like you don't even get a fuel gauge seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!! but then its personal preference of everyone some people are okay with it too so no worries.
4 Servicing and maintenance is ok I say easy to maintain and servicing is available everywhere nowadays so no worries in that
5. Pros - Good for some solo rides
looks fine
cons - Heavy on weight
powerless feels so under power
vibrations
not so comfortable
At last I will say its upto you how you see or feel for the bike but that was my experience with it and yes I have bs4 so its having issues in rear brake too its shit so bad rear brakes and need to repair or tighten it every week. Cheers :)

About the Reviewer

The bike is very good looking and the support and smoothness it provides at mountains is at next level. Throttle after riding it continues more then an hour is just smooth as butter.
Only cons is the bike is too heavy to control and shaky once it's on its full speed.
Looks and performance we all know the bullet is one of the best bike and performance as expected.
Service and maintenance is not that much expensive. It will give this bike so so.
Overall riding experience is very good and i advise all to go for a bike can say a manly bike in our country.
Thanks and keep riding!

I wash my bike every Sunday with full joy.

Royal enfield classic 350 bike comes in a very attractive colors. I am using this bike in reddish red colour. This bike looks very stylish and gives a rich feeling.

Although it never happened i have pushed the motorcycle to its top speed of 110 km/hr (gps) but surely the engine doesn't likes it.
Service and maintenance: service after every 3000 kms which is very frequent in my opinion and each service costs around 2000- 2500 rupees per service including labor charge. And if its a major service then it costs around 3500 rupees. Although the are a lot of private mechanics who will service the bike and labour cost will be minimal. And they also have the parts cheaper then enfield for some reason.
The authorized service center only knows about common problems and basic servicing, and if its a new motorcycle then they are as knowledgeable as you. Honestly the service guys only know how to change oil (at least that's the case in my area).
Also, the after sales experience is seriously bad. My bike chassis was slightly misaligned which made the bike go right. Whenever i let go of the handle bar it automatically goes right. I did a lot to get this fixed but no response from the company and the dealership guys are the rudest on the planet. I got it fixed from a mechanic which costed around 4000 rupees extra. So yeah after sales service is a hassle for what the bike has to offer. And all the videos you see on the internet about bad experience in service centers they are all true.
Other issues : the chain cleaning process is a pain because near the front sprocket cant be cleaned without draining the oil and opening the right side engine casing. Lights are halogen and pretty low power so you will need aux lamps if you wish to travel in dark. The relay for the fuel pump was dead after 2 months of buying it which eventually got me stranded in the middle of the road. The meter bulb died last week, there is no fuel guage. Although i haven't had any rusting on my bike but some might face this issue too so be mindful about it.
So, who do i recommend this motorcycle to? actually no one, see royal enfield is not the only option out there for retro motorcycle there are far better options. And it is selling motorcycles basically out of the cult following that those bikes have got. Plus the internet is filled with all the quality issues with the bikes they produce, be it the chassis breaking of the himalayan or rusting or subframe breaking of the interceptor or one cylinder dying of the 650s.
Only buy a classic 350 if you are a occasional rider and you don't bother about speeds and competing and also if you have a decent income. For students and fresh graduates please stay away from this better buy a yamaha or bajaj or ktm or honda just never go for the enfield.
And you might be thinking after all those good points of the bikes why i am pushing you away from this bike?? because buying a bike is like a relationship, you adjust on some areas to experience the best in your gf/ bf. That's how a healthy relationship works, but with this motorcycle there's more flaws than goods and my decision was also based upon emotion rather than practicality.
But , after considering all the points i will suggest that you should go for a test ride and choose whichever motorcycle you like. But always keep your expectation in check and you will be happy. Thanks peace

1. Buying experience was good but they made several promises about bike which it didn't perform in my life.
2. Riding experience is not that great, it's good for some time or some distance like 100-150 more than that its horrible and if you got a pillion then its worst for you cause you feel so powerless instead of having a 350cc vehicle and so heavy too note :: if you going for a long ride go solo I mean don't take a pillion with you in this bike its just shit
3. Details are like its good to see the bike is pretty much nice in looks , but then again performance is a downgrade 19 horsepower for 200 kg is so less its so low in power gives you vibrations all the time passing 80 km/h .
And in terms of feature it stands nowhere near the competition like you don't even get a fuel gauge seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!! but then its personal preference of everyone some people are okay with it too so no worries.
4 Servicing and maintenance is ok I say easy to maintain and servicing is available everywhere nowadays so no worries in that
5. Pros - Good for some solo rides
looks fine
cons - Heavy on weight
powerless feels so under power
vibrations
not so comfortable
At last I will say its upto you how you see or feel for the bike but that was my experience with it and yes I have bs4 so its having issues in rear brake too its shit so bad rear brakes and need to repair or tighten it every week. Cheers :)

The bike is very good looking and the support and smoothness it provides at mountains is at next level. Throttle after riding it continues more then an hour is just smooth as butter.
Only cons is the bike is too heavy to control and shaky once it's on its full speed.
Looks and performance we all know the bullet is one of the best bike and performance as expected.
Service and maintenance is not that much expensive. It will give this bike so so.
Overall riding experience is very good and i advise all to go for a bike can say a manly bike in our country.
Thanks and keep riding!
