Royal Enfield Classic 650 Mileage

I have been using the Royal Enfield Classic 350 for daily city runs and occasional highway rides, and it has slowly become a part of my routine rather than just a bike. The first thing that stands out is the classic design and strong road presence; even in regular traffic people still turn to look at it, and that feel never gets old. The engine is smooth till around 70–80 km/h and the bike is happiest when ridden in a relaxed way, which suits our real Indian road conditions. The seating posture is upright and comfortable, so even after longer rides my back and shoulders do not feel stressed. Mileage in mixed city–highway use stays around the mid‑30s kmpl, which is acceptable for a 350 cc bike in this weight and segment. It is not a perfect machine, though. In slow, tight traffic, the weight is noticeable and moving it around in parking needs some effort, especially for new riders. Above 90 km/h, some vibrations and wind start to creep in, so this is not a bike for racing but for enjoying a calm, steady cruise. Regular maintenance and chain adjustment are important; otherwise, small noises and roughness can appear over time, as many other owners have also experienced. Overall, if someone wants a comfortable, relaxed motorcycle with timeless looks and a solid feel, the Classic 350 still delivers a very satisfying ownership experience and makes every ride feel a bit special.

About the Reviewer

This particular bike is for those who love standard retro bikes. The bike is very powerful but not the best in the segment of 650s. The suspension is fine and those who are heavy , it works better for them. It is the best looking bike produced by Royal Enfield yet. Rarely, the brakes fail after continuous usage. The ABS works lazily. The lighting is not at all enough during night travel. Vibrations start past 80kmph. Even after spending 4.5 lakhs, it comes with tube tyres on spoke wheels. It gives a mileage of 21-22 kmpl. The quality of the material used is too good.

I've the chrome version and use it for office rides, the bike rides good and gives me city mileage of around 22kmpl
Looks are excellent, and it'll get the attention on the roads.
Performance power is enough to overtake on the roads instantly, and you can't stop yourself from revving it when you see an open road ahead.
