Soon to be released the 2024 Royal Enfield classic 350. As an owner of a 2023 model - here's my reason for not taking the plunge and buying the new model
11:51 Great clip. Excellent RE350 ownership information. Should surely be helpful to anyone considering between model years. I like the kick starter idea. Especially in light of the crappy batteries they are putting out these days. Sure, would come in handy out in the scrub if you happen upon a dead battery.
spot on there. if you'd like to see more classic 350 content the playlist of 75 clips is at the very end. covers everything about the bike from tappet adjustment to tyre choices. off road and sealed riding all the best
I have a 2023. Not tempted at all by 2024 options. As for power, there are plenty of twisty country lanes here in Wales which the enfield is perfect for. Life in the slow lane, can't beat it...
I totally agree mate, spot on with all 3 points you made. I just took delivery of my '22 classic bronze/silver yesterday. Loving it so far, and your videos are a great help. Thanks for making them!
Hi Warro, I don't think the speedo error warning is a good idea. Fitting speedos that don't go wrong would be a much better idea. Most every manufacturer does. How hard can it be ?. Edward.
Totally agree with you - a slipper clutch would make riding easier for me and a kick-starter would seal the deal. They should speak to people like you Warro as you have so much experience with these bikes!
Thanks for watching! did you like my dig at the new gear indicator for 2024. i bet that took some working out. i thought maybe less grease on the relays/better quality relay and a better battery too. mine through in the towel about 2 weeks ago...so it lasted about 9 months
100% agree...de-restrict the motor, slipper clutch, bring back the Bottle Green and Grey with Chrome editions as per the old 500...sorted. They're messing up the Classic.
that would cover it perfectly and bring in even more buyers. my thoughts - if you want to ride an old school classic bike how about match it with a classic colour. they are picking young gun colours which i think is totally off target
Hello from the other side of the world Russia. Just bought one 11.08 desert sand colour. Love classic bikes. Dream about triumph t100/120, but I am new one with bikes. So I like this one. Only 50 km on clock) Totally agree with you and thank God I bought older version. I can say why they do that because the want it to be same part as interceptor for better logistic and lower prices to produce. Adjustable livers maybe fine. But some colours really like... Not suitable. And it s bad if they look at honda 350 cb, I sit on one at it feels good, but it s look is just here with that headlamp. Clean road to you!
Privet iz Romania moi drug! I think you made a perfect choice! That would definitely be the color that I'd like to have on my Classic if I was about to buy one! I don't know if they're gonna keep it on the new model or not but I hope they do.
I suspect there's just a hint of a possibility that Warro knows about the 1-5. If it was a speedo error counter, perhaps 1-20 would have been more prudent 😅
Hello, I am between three motorbikes, please help me? The first is Royal Enfield Classic 350, the second is Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the third is Royal Enfield Shotgun 650.
Good vid again Warro, appreciate your great work! Best mod I have on mine is the heel and toe shifter, suits the bike and I got used to it immediately. Another 10-15 HP would be nice but other than that they need to retain its charm by keeping it old style. Kickstart would be great.
i was actually the first to put a heel and toe on a classic 350. i had mine pre-ordered before first shupment arrived in OZ. that idea started way back in 2014 i think when i started adding them to the classic 500's i feel they are very fast to change gears so for a few $$$ its money well spent.
I've got to say I don't think RE are hitting the mark with their most recent colour choices since the hunters. I love my marsh grey signals, would only consider changing for a classic 650
yeah while i had it i enjoyed my run on the marsh grey. very hard colour to beat. im still sort of unsure if i will go classic 650 as i had 2 interceptors but i would go a 500 but only in a "J" motor just waiting for them to make one...lol
I have a 2024, and am in absolute love with it. I'm really stoked about the gear ratios too. I like the idea about the kick starter. I went for the red & chrome edition, and would definitely agree with keeping the colours classic looking. It was between that and the Halcyon Green for me, but glad I got the red
I've put an LED bulb in my headlight so I have a few extra watts available to run my heated gloves and jacket - but maybe you don't need those in Oz 😂 I've also put an LED in the tail light as it would be a right pita to change that by the side of the road.
i have not been out at night on a bike since 2019 when i took the honda ct125 trail for a night run. so you could say im not too keen to go out at night. plenty of roo's about and by the time i see one...party over...lol
This video explains easily why they are not caled you. 1 to 5 is a gear indicator, nobody in the right mind would consider that adding a kick starter is a easy job, clutch is so easy on 350 it does not need slipper.
Pretty sure the 1 to 5 thing was a joke since they haven’t addressed the issue with the speedo yet. It doesn’t need a kickstarter but after 100 years of making bikes that have them I’m think Enfield could have figured it out without too much trouble.
looks like i have a starter gun jumper...lol correct me if i am wrong.did you watch to end of clip NO...lol at the end i mentioned in text -its a gear indicator. dont kid yourself on slip and assist clutches. i have one on my honda gb350 and they were stock on the interceptor. they are there for safety just like abs
spot on and on the ball...lol a smart person would have said...good one warro - as i address the wonky speedos i had in 2 new bikes. halcyon grey and marsh grey. but not all viewers are smart...lol end of clip i added text it was a gearshift indicator but stevie missed that too.
could be a while before they get this way. few nice colours but the upgrades are not too exciting. don't think they has done test rides yet but back in 2018 i had a gun metal 500 and i thought it was much quicker than previous models. it turned out they had just reduced the front sprocket by one tooth...lol
I think having the option to buy your bike in a custom colour is a really good idea from a marketing point of view, and if the person who orders has taste there will be some beautiful variations to come out of it! As for the rest I think you're right, especially with the LED lights, they look really out of place and make the bike look more modern than it should. Really happy I got my chrome/bronze some months ago, I will keep this one a long time :)
Good point! check out my playlist end of clip. over 100 clips in total. covering all aspects of these bikes. from tappet adj/off road riding/tyres.mods/running in/oil changes/accessories
I agree, makes you wonder what market they are aiming for. The looks the colour, the single pot is what the normal buyer looks for in that style of bike. Couldn’t agree more with a kick starter.
Thanks for the info Warro 👍🏻 I like seeing you on camera, adds more to your vids 👏🏻 My wish list for the Classic 350 - a factory tachometer to fit right where the badge cover is. Everything else is perfect. Ok maybe 30hp too 😎
i was feeling talkative today...lol plus i had not been out on the 350 for a while as ive been mainly riding that gb350 i think tomorrow i will take out the new nmax. only 70 klm on it and i have to get it run in. after that i think rain in for another couple of days
The 350 Classic is one of the few bikes that could use a gear indicator. Bimbling about in higher gears at low speeds it's easy to forget which cog you're in. The new colours look okay to me, especially the plain red. The army inspired camo job isn't as nice as the previous sand versions, which haven't been available for about a year.
Funny, this is the only bike I’ve had where I don’t miss the gear indicator. Ok this and my Bonneville T100. It’s easy to feel. Now my 6-speed Honda CBR600RR, that redlined around 15k - I added a gear indicator to that (sold that bike years ago).
thanks. i thought i'd give my thoughts on the new model and like i said there are a couple of good colours too. but if i get desperate i could just paint my spare tank and the used guards i have and ive got another colour. unless by chance they did do something to the 2024 ecu. if by chance it was upgraded i might jump the fence and buy one...lol all the best!
all the 500's had them too. in fact if enfield played it smart they could bring out a limited edition and add those 3 upgrades i mentioned and give it an old school colour and i bet all the oldies would line up to buy. young may like colour but the oldies like the trip back in time
Yes kick starter. That would seriously differentiate the RE from competitors. And wish my GB350 had the halogen headlight. LED looks bloody horrible. Keep the clips coming Warro. Best channel on the tube!
So glad I bought the 2023 in Halcyon Grey. I am not sure what drugs the 2024 designers got hold of, but the new colour options are horrific. The sales figures in Western countries are going to plummet. The only thing that seems to be an upgrade is the gear indicator, but not really necessary if you can hear the motor.
yeah there are some wild colours in the new range thats for sure...lol i dont think they care much for the western market as long as the home crowd is happy. i think there maybe two colours of interest but i feel if i want to ride and old style bike the cosmetics must match all the best!
The speedo on my 2022 sticks in summer. And in winter it's fine. I read that the heat causes the glass and needle spindle to expand and touch each other. Causing friction. In Summer I just use a speed app on my phone which is mounted on the handlebar.
in my playlist - end of this clip. 75 clips in total i go into various mods and fixes on these bikes. both my halcyon grey and marsg grey had speedo errors
What I really want to know is how different or same the new 2023/4 350 J Bullet is to your classic. I have the 500 Tribute which IMHO are not a comfortable ride. Thinking the 350 one seater (long) may be better.
lets see would i rather ride the more powerful 500 and i had every year from 2012 to 2020 or drop 7hp and ride a classic 350 i like to tell it straight so here goes the new classic 350 is easily the best single enfield has produced to date. very little vibration and ver reliable. plus if you look at the end of this clip there is a playlist of 75 clips on one bike plus 2 others
Agree with you. The original colours ARE classic. The 2024 colours just don't do it for me. I can see that the LED headlight will be an improvement for riding at night, but I'll see how my fog lights go first. And it does spoil the retro look...
I'm with you on the LED lights, I'm not a fan at all. A bike like this needs halogen lamps. The Classic 500 i just bought has LED turn signals and speedo backlight, and I'll be going back to halogen on those parts. Also, can you recommend me a saddle for the C5? Mine has the stock seat which I find too flat. I want something a bit lower and with a more curved shape for my bum. Cheers and thanks fot all the RE videos!
i had no issues with the stock C5 but years back i do recall some guys giving then a gel insert. i actually did that to the GB350 as seat was hard and it worked pretty good. just got the slab of gel off ebay and pulled stock cover and cut out the seat. cost me about $35 for the gel slab to do the mod
@ridewithwarro I'll look into that. This is my first motorcycle with a springer seat and it feels like I am constantly sliding to the rear when I'm riding faster, it's not a comfort issue, I just want to stop sliding 😆
The only things I think even worth looking into would be new (good) colors and a tacho on the right side of the bezel. Otherwise, leave it alone! my 2¢
@@ridewithwarro yeah there’s a guy that put together a kit that looks pretty cool, but it doesn’t really need it and honestly for the cost of the aftermarket. I’m not gonna bother but if Royal Enfield put one in stock, it would be cool. Or a decent GPS but I have a Bee line for that and I’m satisfied.
i think i watched a clip a while back where some-one swapped the hunter ecu and put it on the classic 350. plus it either move the rev limiter up or totally removed it. not sure now but interesting just the same
thanks. has great grip on the dirt too. plus pretty good on the sealed stuff but some slight tyre noise. raises seat height about an inch but the 350 is fairly well balanced so all good there.
I'd love to see a 500 with more grunt and no built in limiter (ie Hunter tune). Not bothered about a kick start but wouldn't start skriking if they added one.
yeah i think the kick starter idea would be more a dream as early models classic 500's didnt have them. plus lots of work and expense to fit them too. but hunter tune which is very good. i noticed immediately when i had my hunter and rode it back to bak against the halcyon grey all this in my 75 clip playlist on end of this clip
Cheers Warro, I now know what that 1 to 5 thingy is for ! mind a never pays it any attention anyway. I have similar Mods, long suspension travel, off road tires and a wee capacity increase, I call it The Scram, an she is a beauty. BTW, ENVIOUSE of all those open spaces were you get to stretch the wee lassys legs.
yeah i think it would need double the output. i dont ride fast say 100 kph or legal here so its good enough for me. plus on dirt it will run 80 kph with those tractionator tyres and probably quicker with a good rider.
@@ridewithwarro I live in the country as well - SA so our limit is 110kph. I find my 350 really struggles into head winds. So to have a bit more grunt to maintain 110 into wind or to overtake, I feel would make the bike a little safer and not so much hard work on windy days. Most days living on the Southeast coast are windy.
@@npg68 you could say your near the end of the limit for this 350 BUT my new 2024 suzuki vstom 250 SX would sit on that number with no effort at all all for $6500 ride away. great bike that one. all reviews on my bikes in my history...only 750 clips too...lol
Jeez, that river's up, Warro. All good suggestions. I wish they'd kept the 500/535 engine, I think they had push-rods, didn't they? Now that's a true classic. And get rid of engine lights and sensors. Just plain and simple. Maybe keep the electronic ignition and fuel injection, don't really want to go back to setting points and a carburetor. My ol' man had a Tiger 100 back in his day, but that was because bikes were cheaper to own than cars.
yeah the uce's had the lifters but at times they were pretty noisey on a stock bike. i use to fit all of them with sports exhausts so i couldn't listen to the rattling. that idea worked very well too plus got a good note in the bargain. yeaj that creek is up but last couple of days plenty of rain. lots of rainbow trout in that creek plus a bit of gold too.
@@ridewithwarro One man's creek is another man's torrential gushing river. It's like our man-size hand spiders, the huntsman. To most Australians it's 'just a spider', but to an Englishman it has the potential to carry off one of their offspring. lol. Keep the videos coming, mate. Hopefully RE will eventually 'cotton on'.
Going on the volume of water in the river, you must have had a fair bit of rain there, Warro! Unfortunately, latest-model updates don't always mean a product improvement.
@@chrisweeks6973 never trust fishermen especially if they have big hands. by the way due to a crook back i sold my new metal detector and 3 days back the guy bought it sent me 2 photos of gold he had found with it.
White led indicators and headlight is a mistake IMO. I do have a redchrome 4weeks old and pretty keen on it BUT if one gets nifty there are a few points for improvement: side bags and brackets hard to get (I see them on the 2024 model!!) and the batterie+airbox cover I really liked it to be in chrome (2024 it has!!) and a good upgrade could be tubeless spoked rims like enduros (could reconsider for conversion?). I do fancy the blue 2024 version quite a lot but the red and chrome verion 2nd and 3rd place not sure if I would buy them. IF I would consider to get a 2024 I'd be strongly reconsidering to have my redchrome repainted to a highgloss blackchrome or rustchrome which would make it look more stylish as a Bullet or 2024 model range I guess. And this is the cheap way to completely restyle a redchrome Classic. The bronzechrome would win for a neutral timeless color as well. I am not too sure if the 2024 color range would please me on the long run but as I said the blue version is nice. I believe a classic500 version was also suggested? Not sure if this would be a massive upgrade worth considering taking fuel consumption in account and if it is needed where 100kmh limit is dictated. Right now I'd be pleased with the performance of a stock J350 (but I own a Griso as well) Recently I installed a belt drive which gives a very comfortable experience as well but I would not consider offroad(grit). As I understand correctly On several models they use google nav and on a tripper the Enfield nav? chances are the tripper can be Google nav later as well BUT I'd like to see the tripper have an analogue tacho on tft screen integrated as well as option to switch screens. An upgraded paint sheme is a high risk on a 2nd hand market as well. Only a few would look decent I guess. Love the looks of those tires! Is your speedo correct now or have you changed sprockets? regards, Erik
end of clip is playlist -75 clips on halcyon grey about 30 on marsh grey and 20 on red.chrome. covers all including tappet adjustment. tyres are still stock size so i dont see any variation in speed.i have clips in my playlist of it off road and it has great grip. that impressed with tyres i also fitted them to my 2024 honda gb350 and 2024 suzuki vstrom 250 sx
Excellent video, on the unnecessary new upgrades on the Classic 350s,really hate the new colours too, thats why i preferred the Bullet 350 2024 standard black instead, looks much more authentic . LEDs was a terrible idea....Cheers
totally agree some will like the new look and some prefer the old school bikes. i thought about that bullet too. very similar to the old 500's i had two of those. the 350's are pretty good to ride compared to a 500...well vibe wise just a bit down on power but a way better bike
@ridewithwarro You're absolutely right about the new 350s are great little bikes for back roads and city commutes, but a little low on power that's where the interceptor 650 is does good on highways speeds ,I use the interceptor, the BSA Goldstar 650 I'm yet to try, heard it's more like the Classic 350 on steroids.
@@blrmotorcyclesinc. dont think the bsa is here, but the interceptor is indeed a nice smooth ride. great motor in that bike. back in 2019 when i purchased the ravishing red version i was really impressed after coming from 500 single rides
@ridewithwarro Exactly, I too got my interceptor in 2019 first batch.Its got more character than the newer Shotgun 650 which feels lot more refined , BSA Goldstar 650 just got launched in India yesterday on 15 August finally although it's made here in India ,took almost 2 years to launch here as the brand name rights still belonged and was held by another bicycle company TI cycles in India( in fact BSA bicycle was also my first bicycle in my childhood 😄 )Hoping to test ride the Goldstar soon.
I'll take this opportunity to make a comment on the 350 Classic. I have test ridden the 350 a few times and found it a GOOD bike but not a GREAT bike. I own a 2019 500 Trials and in my opinion it is the real deal. We're talking about thump and torque. The 2 bikes are chalk and cheese. When I ride the 350 it feels like a bike without a soul. It just hasn't got the X factor. On the positive side it seems to be a better quality bike. If Royal Enfield make a new 500cc Bullet I'll be first in line to buy one. You having owned so many 500's know what I am talking about. I'm just stating my personal opinion.
true i owned all the 500's from 2012 to 2020 including the despatch/pegasus and trials. the 500's gave me nerve damage to the hands and i had no choice but jump to a 350 in 2022 the extra 7hp is indeed enjoyable on the 500. in my history i made heaps of clips on various 500 mods in fact i was the very person who discovered through trial and error the double head steady to curb engine vibration in the footpegs. so yes the 500 is the more powerful bike but not the better bike..lol only my opinion there!
@@ridewithwarro Thanks for the feed back. Some time ago I took your advice and installed a double head steady. I am lucky that the vibrations were minimal from day one - a rarity for a 500. So, when I ride the beast (that I have named MORPHEUS) I hear that beautiful thump and feel the amazing torque and all this with minimal vibration. I am in heaven and I always have a smile on my face. Royal Enfield please produce the 500 again but this time improve the build quality and eliminate the vibrations.. It would be a best seller. Don't get me wrong, the 350 is a great bike but for me it is the 500 that rules.
@@EvanHeisler-w6l if i never had the hand issues i'd be still riding a 500 as i know all the faults and quirks so no issues there for me. speaking of that double head steady i once had a 500 with footpeg vibes that bad i once rode with feet off the pegs. i fitted the double head steady and it totally wiped it out or pretty close. amazing day that day all the best
Not keen on the new colours, except for the emerald which looks rather lovely. I’d really love to see a chrome/gloss black version. If RA brought one out with the upgraded cam and no limiter I’d probably make the leap. I guess an option would be to buy a red/chrome 2nd hand and re-do the tank and add the performance mods. Can’t quite understand why they went with the matt black option, matt bikes look rubbish after very few ks.
yeah i had the gloss black in my 500's and they indeed look good. out tonight my next clip shows a good range of colours in the 500/350 range i owned plus some very good info on the 350's too
Some of the new colors are bizarre. Check out the white one with the red frame and the tank graphic drawn up by a five year old. How anyone thought that was a good marketing strategy i really don't know. LED headlamp, on the one bike that shouldn't have such a thing, i didn't think so. Hey , why not give it a four cylinder engine, shaft drive and a 180/55 rear tyre, and a flourecent pink paint job?
not really. owver 4 years i owned 4 brand new honda cb500x bikes and all models had upgrades and some had major ones. looking at the enfield and its near 3 year run i expected something more than a change of colour and a gear indicator. say it had got gear indicator/traction control and a better tune......i'd bought one! after all buying is no issue as ive boyfgt 72 brand new bikes over past 12 years. buying is the easy part but i do expect some improvements hope that answers your concern
yeah so true. if they bought out a 500 in the "J" i'd abort...lol but then again lots of others would too. still think the 350 in the "J" is the pick of the classic and if not i'd be back on a 500 looking back only $1000 splits them and 7hp...lol
Hi Warro, that 1 - 5 is a gear position indicator to bring it in line with the Meteor and Hunter models. Onto performance, it may wellbe that Royal Enfield have removed the speed restrictor as part of the 2024 updates, I don't know.🤔 what I do know is that the new Meteor 350 Aurora has had its restrictor removed. I bought a new one here in the UK in March this year and instead of the restrictor cutting in at an indicated 75mph mine continues on. I have had mine showing 83mph on the clock and still the limiter hasn't cut in. I know of another owner with the same model whose bike isn't fitted with the restrictor. I suppose with all the competition out there with similar cc machines Royal Enfield are going to have to up their game and try and Compete in the performance stakes. I also am on my 3rd Classic 350 Reborn. 2023 model Halcyon Black.🙂👍
its a pretty hard call to go past the classic 350 reborn. now these new colours might be ok if one was say 20 and it may look cool but i dont ride the yellow grom i have much at all as i feel like a clown or worse on it...lol great little bike! only bought it because it was cheap at $4500 new and no longer available due to single channel abs and duel is required now
i use to use tsubaki or did chains on the 500. either are pretty pricey but if for the 350 i have no real issues with the stock chain. years back the supplied chains on the 500 were rubbish and i recall one doing roughly 200 miles and it had frozen no so now and much better chain
well you are right and that was meant to be a bit of a joke but some thought i was dead serious...lol plus my new gb350 has gear selector and so too my suzuki vstrom 250 sx i was expecting just the usual 300 lookers -like always but you could say after 16,600 subs and 750 clips ive finally got a clip moving along again. been a bit of a drought! if i had know that i would have tried even harder...lol now even at end of the clip i texted in its a gear selector but thats life
im sure if you had watched all the clip at the end i actually tell all its the gear indictor...lol sometimes very hard to get a laugh on youtube even when its right in front of you
@@ridewithwarro Funny thing is thought I did, I must of been too busy typing to listen, and that near fulll 700 ml bottle of spirits last night that I'm paying for today.
I agree about you should be able to get the Hunter 350 tune for Classic 350.I seen where guys have put early Hunter Throttle bodies on the Classic 350 to get more power but not sure if you can use newer Hunter Throttle bodies as the older Hunter Throttle bodies weren't governed like the 350 Classic.
All they need is the ability to breath in and out better and be left alone. Why would you want trection control Warro? Also, why would anyone want to go faster on this sort of bike? sort of defeats the purpose I reakon.
never mentioned traction control on this and the main reason i like the enfield to look as old as it possibly can i do like fuel injection and duel channel abs now on the gb350 side i find its a lot quicker than the enfield on dirt and sealed and feels way lighter and faster only real issue there is it just doesnt look as good.
Their biggest market is in India, they're catering to local taste in colours. LED is seen as an upgrade. In the West we're going to customise these anyway, so these details are irrelevant.
hard to say really.over the past 12 years ive bought over 70 new bikes.some i butchered and loaded up with trinkets and some i never really touched at all
There's too much fake stuff on the new 350 for me to ever be interested in one but one thing they should do if they ever want to try and bury the ghost of the 500 is offer a bored out 500cc version of the bike. Until they do that then the 500 will always outshine it I think, for this and many other reasons.
yeah i thought that was pretty funny and was wondering who would believe that. i mean ive owned 22 or 23 enfields it would be sad if i didn't know what it was...lol my gb350 has one-all 4 cb500x's had them...lol all the best!
Warro I was just gonna comment...and then there's the Honda...and you said it haha. Sounds like Royal Enfield needs a dealership in Nimbin what with all the hippy colours.
You called it Warro. Royal Enfield is going in a direction with these "classic" bikes that is getting further and further away from anything classic. I am happy that I purchased my 2022 royal enfield classic 350 because I learned my lesson for a fairly cheap price that I want nothing else to do with royal enfield brand, it's people, or it's products. I believe that I got off fairly cheap.
sounds like you gad a bad experience with your 2022 rnfield 350. apart from speedo issues ive found them pretty good compared to bikes of past...lol in the response it appears some like the new colours but if colours there after -best buy a honda and score in all directions.
@@ridewithwarro thanks for the response I enjoy all your videos. I am in the United States and the enfield market here is fairly weak. Not much selection and the dealerships kinda lack in overall knowledge and passion. I have no regrets with my purchase. I get interest and nice comments every time I take it out. I am on my second speedo now. Sticky issues. And it is a real challenge to get the dealers to honor the warranty. I went to a demonstration ride event in Phoenix Arizona. I rode 13 different models. The dealership had 4 that were actually available for purchase. I found the pretty weak. I am going to enjoy my 22 Halcyon Grey classic 350 for a bit longer. Meanwhile can you send me your honda gb 350. I am really interested in that machine. Unavailable in the United States. Thanks for the chat, have great day!
11:51 Great clip. Excellent RE350 ownership information. Should surely be helpful to anyone considering between model years. I like the kick starter idea. Especially in light of the crappy batteries they are putting out these days. Sure, would come in handy out in the scrub if you happen upon a dead battery.
spot on there. if you'd like to see more classic 350 content the playlist of 75 clips is at the very end.
covers everything about the bike from tappet adjustment to tyre choices. off road and sealed riding
all the best
I have a 2023. Not tempted at all by 2024 options. As for power, there are plenty of twisty country lanes here in Wales which the enfield is perfect for. Life in the slow lane, can't beat it...
yeah im really enjoying the new tread. runs along nicely. bit of tyre noise but nothing serious. if only they did a "J" series 500
A j series 500 would have been absolutely perfect !
2024 model led lights are a mistake on a classic look motorcycle. I prefer my 2023 model year by far.
great to hear
I totally agree mate, spot on with all 3 points you made. I just took delivery of my '22 classic bronze/silver yesterday. Loving it so far, and your videos are a great help. Thanks for making them!
great to hear you found the clips useful. all the best!
Hi Warro, I don't think the speedo error warning is a good idea. Fitting speedos that don't go wrong would be a much better idea. Most every manufacturer does. How hard can it be ?. Edward.
sounds good to me
Totally agree with you - a slipper clutch would make riding easier for me and a kick-starter would seal the deal. They should speak to people like you Warro as you have so much experience with these bikes!
Thanks for watching! did you like my dig at the new gear indicator for 2024. i bet that took some working out.
i thought maybe less grease on the relays/better quality relay and a better battery too.
mine through in the towel about 2 weeks ago...so it lasted about 9 months
100% agree...de-restrict the motor, slipper clutch, bring back the Bottle Green and Grey with Chrome editions as per the old 500...sorted. They're messing up the Classic.
that would cover it perfectly and bring in even more buyers. my thoughts - if you want to ride an old school classic bike how about match it with a classic colour.
they are picking young gun colours which i think is totally off target
Hello from the other side of the world Russia. Just bought one 11.08 desert sand colour. Love classic bikes. Dream about triumph t100/120, but I am new one with bikes. So I like this one. Only 50 km on clock) Totally agree with you and thank God I bought older version. I can say why they do that because the want it to be same part as interceptor for better logistic and lower prices to produce. Adjustable livers maybe fine. But some colours really like... Not suitable. And it s bad if they look at honda 350 cb, I sit on one at it feels good, but it s look is just here with that headlamp. Clean road to you!
Privet iz Romania moi drug!
I think you made a perfect choice! That would definitely be the color that I'd like to have on my Classic if I was about to buy one! I don't know if they're gonna keep it on the new model or not but I hope they do.
great check out my latest clip out yesterday where ive ridden the bike plus it includes a 100 clip playlist. perfect for you and has great tips
I think the 1 to 5 on the dash you were talking about is the gear select.
could be too. all the best!
I suspect there's just a hint of a possibility that Warro knows about the 1-5. If it was a speedo error counter, perhaps 1-20 would have been more prudent 😅
@@radekknauer2891 now how would you know that...lol because i told you end of clip...lol
Thank you so much Sir! I'm thinking about buying a Royal Enfield Classic as a second bike and your footage was really useful.
check out my lastest clip out yesterday and you'll get a very good idea how great these bikes are on dirt or sealed
Hello, I am between three motorbikes, please help me? The first is Royal Enfield Classic 350, the second is Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the third is Royal Enfield Shotgun 650.
classic/interceptor/shotgun OR interceptor/classic/shotgun
@@ridewithwarro Thank you for answering
Good vid again Warro, appreciate your great work! Best mod I have on mine is the heel and toe shifter, suits the bike and I got used to it immediately. Another 10-15 HP would be nice but other than that they need to retain its charm by keeping it old style. Kickstart would be great.
i was actually the first to put a heel and toe on a classic 350. i had mine pre-ordered before first shupment arrived in OZ.
that idea started way back in 2014 i think when i started adding them to the classic 500's
i feel they are very fast to change gears so for a few $$$ its money well spent.
I've got to say I don't think RE are hitting the mark with their most recent colour choices since the hunters. I love my marsh grey signals, would only consider changing for a classic 650
yeah while i had it i enjoyed my run on the marsh grey. very hard colour to beat. im still sort of unsure if i will go classic 650 as i had 2 interceptors but i would go a 500 but only in a "J" motor
just waiting for them to make one...lol
A Classic has to be a single. A 650 twin will just be a restyled Interceptor.
I have a 2024, and am in absolute love with it. I'm really stoked about the gear ratios too. I like the idea about the kick starter. I went for the red & chrome edition, and would definitely agree with keeping the colours classic looking. It was between that and the Halcyon Green for me, but glad I got the red
Good to hear!
I've put an LED bulb in my headlight so I have a few extra watts available to run my heated gloves and jacket - but maybe you don't need those in Oz 😂 I've also put an LED in the tail light as it would be a right pita to change that by the side of the road.
i have not been out at night on a bike since 2019 when i took the honda ct125 trail for a night run.
so you could say im not too keen to go out at night. plenty of roo's about and by the time i see one...party over...lol
more power is what id like to see. its just too slow for a lot of the roads i ride in England.
shame, because its such a nice looking bike.
yeah its more a back road burner -thats for sure. saying that the speed limit in my area is 100 kph/60 mph so its ok in that area.
This video explains easily why they are not caled you. 1 to 5 is a gear indicator, nobody in the right mind would consider that adding a kick starter is a easy job, clutch is so easy on 350 it does not need slipper.
Pretty sure the 1 to 5 thing was a joke since they haven’t addressed the issue with the speedo yet. It doesn’t need a kickstarter but after 100 years of making bikes that have them I’m think Enfield could have figured it out without too much trouble.
looks like i have a starter gun jumper...lol correct me if i am wrong.did you watch to end of clip NO...lol at the end i mentioned in text -its a gear indicator.
dont kid yourself on slip and assist clutches. i have one on my honda gb350 and they were stock on the interceptor.
they are there for safety just like abs
spot on and on the ball...lol a smart person would have said...good one warro - as i address the wonky speedos i had in 2 new bikes. halcyon grey and marsh grey.
but not all viewers are smart...lol
end of clip i added text it was a gearshift indicator but stevie missed that too.
@@elwood62 Oh dear. Here in Germany they don't accept warranty claims unless you have a maintenance record with stamps every half year.
@@martinmuller2809 oil changes shouldn’t affect broken speedometer claims
I didn't even know they released the 2024 models! Thanks for your tips & suggestions Warro🤙
could be a while before they get this way. few nice colours but the upgrades are not too exciting. don't think they has done test rides yet but back in 2018 i had a gun metal 500 and i thought it was much quicker than previous models.
it turned out they had just reduced the front sprocket by one tooth...lol
I think having the option to buy your bike in a custom colour is a really good idea from a marketing point of view, and if the person who orders has taste there will be some beautiful variations to come out of it! As for the rest I think you're right, especially with the LED lights, they look really out of place and make the bike look more modern than it should. Really happy I got my chrome/bronze some months ago, I will keep this one a long time :)
Good point! check out my playlist end of clip. over 100 clips in total. covering all aspects of these bikes. from tappet adj/off road riding/tyres.mods/running in/oil changes/accessories
I agree, makes you wonder what market they are aiming for. The looks the colour, the single pot is what the normal buyer looks for in that style of bike. Couldn’t agree more with a kick starter.
its hard to believe how much lighter and easier the fb350 is to move about on. only about 15kgs split them too
Thanks for the info Warro 👍🏻 I like seeing you on camera, adds more to your vids 👏🏻
My wish list for the Classic 350 - a factory tachometer to fit right where the badge cover is. Everything else is perfect. Ok maybe 30hp too 😎
i was feeling talkative today...lol plus i had not been out on the 350 for a while as ive been mainly riding that gb350
i think tomorrow i will take out the new nmax. only 70 klm on it and i have to get it run in.
after that i think rain in for another couple of days
100% definitely needs a kickstarter, where’s the enjoyment in pressing a button when you can kickstart the bike into life
Your bike looks mint👌👍💪 Absolutely brilliant. I love your 2023 version..
Thanks a ton!
The 350 Classic is one of the few bikes that could use a gear indicator. Bimbling about in higher gears at low speeds it's easy to forget which cog you're in. The new colours look okay to me, especially the plain red. The army inspired camo job isn't as nice as the previous sand versions, which haven't been available for about a year.
i actually thought the 500 pegasus i had was the best army style colour but i did have a nice lagoon blue 500 too
Funny, this is the only bike I’ve had where I don’t miss the gear indicator. Ok this and my Bonneville T100. It’s easy to feel. Now my 6-speed Honda CBR600RR, that redlined around 15k - I added a gear indicator to that (sold that bike years ago).
Love you ideas Warro, hope you are well. All the best from Scotland.
thanks. i thought i'd give my thoughts on the new model and like i said there are a couple of good colours too. but if i get desperate i could just paint my spare tank and the used guards i have and ive got another colour.
unless by chance they did do something to the 2024 ecu. if by chance it was upgraded i might jump the fence and buy one...lol
all the best!
Gear indicator!!
My Suzuki GSX750 had one back in 1980. Great idea.
My W650 has a kick starter, love it.😂
all the 500's had them too. in fact if enfield played it smart they could bring out a limited edition and add those 3 upgrades i mentioned and give it an old school colour and i bet all the oldies would line up to buy.
young may like colour but the oldies like the trip back in time
Yes kick starter. That would seriously differentiate the RE from competitors.
And wish my GB350 had the halogen headlight. LED looks bloody horrible.
Keep the clips coming Warro. Best channel on the tube!
thanks. did you enjoy the laught on the gear indicator
So glad I bought the 2023 in Halcyon Grey. I am not sure what drugs the 2024 designers got hold of, but the new colour options are horrific. The sales figures in Western countries are going to plummet. The only thing that seems to be an upgrade is the gear indicator, but not really necessary if you can hear the motor.
yeah there are some wild colours in the new range thats for sure...lol i dont think they care much for the western market as long as the home crowd is happy.
i think there maybe two colours of interest but i feel if i want to ride and old style bike the cosmetics must match
all the best!
The speedo on my 2022 sticks in summer. And in winter it's fine. I read that the heat causes the glass and needle spindle to expand and touch each other. Causing friction. In Summer I just use a speed app on my phone which is mounted on the handlebar.
in my playlist - end of this clip. 75 clips in total i go into various mods and fixes on these bikes. both my halcyon grey and marsg grey had speedo errors
What I really want to know is how different or same the new 2023/4 350 J Bullet is to your classic. I have the 500 Tribute which IMHO are not a comfortable ride. Thinking the 350 one seater (long) may be better.
lets see would i rather ride the more powerful 500 and i had every year from 2012 to 2020 or drop 7hp and ride a classic 350
i like to tell it straight so here goes
the new classic 350 is easily the best single enfield has produced to date. very little vibration and ver reliable.
plus if you look at the end of this clip there is a playlist of 75 clips on one bike plus 2 others
Agree with you. The original colours ARE classic. The 2024 colours just don't do it for me.
I can see that the LED headlight will be an improvement for riding at night, but I'll see how my fog lights go first. And it does spoil the retro look...
maybe if i was from the dark force i might like the LED's but unfortunately i'm not aloud out at night...lol
all the best!
New bulb £6.... New led lamp unit....who knows. Halogen every time for me
@@Trev350 if i was the knightrider maybe i'd think a bit different but unfortunately i'm not aloud out after dark...lol
I'm with you on the LED lights, I'm not a fan at all. A bike like this needs halogen lamps. The Classic 500 i just bought has LED turn signals and speedo backlight, and I'll be going back to halogen on those parts.
Also, can you recommend me a saddle for the C5? Mine has the stock seat which I find too flat. I want something a bit lower and with a more curved shape for my bum. Cheers and thanks fot all the RE videos!
i had no issues with the stock C5 but years back i do recall some guys giving then a gel insert.
i actually did that to the GB350 as seat was hard and it worked pretty good.
just got the slab of gel off ebay and pulled stock cover and cut out the seat.
cost me about $35 for the gel slab to do the mod
@ridewithwarro I'll look into that. This is my first motorcycle with a springer seat and it feels like I am constantly sliding to the rear when I'm riding faster, it's not a comfort issue, I just want to stop sliding 😆
The only things I think even worth looking into would be new (good) colors and a tacho on the right side of the bezel. Otherwise, leave it alone! my 2¢
i think there is a tacho available as an aftermarket option for one of these bikes. not cheap eother around $400 or more
@@ridewithwarro yeah there’s a guy that put together a kit that looks pretty cool, but it doesn’t really need it and honestly for the cost of the aftermarket. I’m not gonna bother but if Royal Enfield put one in stock, it would be cool. Or a decent GPS but I have a Bee line for that and I’m satisfied.
@@scottboettcher yeah i think if it was $200 sure but some-one out there is chasing a big profit at the buyers expense..lol
I agree warro definitely on the tuning 👍
i think i watched a clip a while back where some-one swapped the hunter ecu and put it on the classic 350. plus it either move the rev limiter up or totally removed it.
not sure now but interesting just the same
nice tyres Warro, what are those (model and size) and how much it costs in Aud? thanks
motoz tractionator adv -check them out here. rough track this one ruclips.net/video/RkYQlVBNspo/видео.html
Totally agree with everything you say by the way the bike looks great with the chunky tyres
thanks. has great grip on the dirt too. plus pretty good on the sealed stuff but some slight tyre noise.
raises seat height about an inch but the 350 is fairly well balanced so all good there.
I'd love to see a 500 with more grunt and no built in limiter (ie Hunter tune). Not bothered about a kick start but wouldn't start skriking if they added one.
yeah i think the kick starter idea would be more a dream as early models classic 500's didnt have them. plus lots of work and expense to fit them too.
but hunter tune which is very good. i noticed immediately when i had my hunter and rode it back to bak against the halcyon grey
all this in my 75 clip playlist on end of this clip
Cheers Warro, I now know what that 1 to 5 thingy is for ! mind a never pays it any attention anyway. I have similar Mods, long suspension travel, off road tires and a wee capacity increase, I call it The Scram, an she is a beauty. BTW, ENVIOUSE of all those open spaces were you get to stretch the wee lassys legs.
yeah theres no shortage of roads to ride here. plus i have those big chunky tyres which run dirt well
@@ridewithwarro It was ok in England with a few green lanes but I now live in Scotland there arent any green lanes its all black top ;-(
I think they need to give the engine more grunt - even if it topped out at 140kph - that would be perfect.
yeah i think it would need double the output. i dont ride fast say 100 kph or legal here so its good enough for me.
plus on dirt it will run 80 kph with those tractionator tyres and probably quicker with a good rider.
@@ridewithwarro I live in the country as well - SA so our limit is 110kph. I find my 350 really struggles into head winds. So to have a bit more grunt to maintain 110 into wind or to overtake, I feel would make the bike a little safer and not so much hard work on windy days. Most days living on the Southeast coast are windy.
@@npg68 you could say your near the end of the limit for this 350 BUT my new 2024 suzuki vstom 250 SX would sit on that number with no effort at all
all for $6500 ride away. great bike that one. all reviews on my bikes in my history...only 750 clips too...lol
Jeez, that river's up, Warro. All good suggestions. I wish they'd kept the 500/535 engine, I think they had push-rods, didn't they? Now that's a true classic. And get rid of engine lights and sensors. Just plain and simple. Maybe keep the electronic ignition and fuel injection, don't really want to go back to setting points and a carburetor. My ol' man had a Tiger 100 back in his day, but that was because bikes were cheaper to own than cars.
yeah the uce's had the lifters but at times they were pretty noisey on a stock bike. i use to fit all of them with sports exhausts so i couldn't listen to the rattling.
that idea worked very well too plus got a good note in the bargain.
yeaj that creek is up but last couple of days plenty of rain. lots of rainbow trout in that creek plus a bit of gold too.
@@ridewithwarro One man's creek is another man's torrential gushing river. It's like our man-size hand spiders, the huntsman. To most Australians it's 'just a spider', but to an Englishman it has the potential to carry off one of their offspring. lol. Keep the videos coming, mate. Hopefully RE will eventually 'cotton on'.
Going on the volume of water in the river, you must have had a fair bit of rain there, Warro! Unfortunately, latest-model updates don't always mean a product improvement.
pretty damp there alright. i saw a few rainbow trout up on the banks. i said whats the issue. just got a reply...too bloody wet...lol

@@ridewithwarro Bugger...Could've been you... Oh well, at least you know that the thing worked! 😂
White led indicators and headlight is a mistake IMO. I do have a redchrome 4weeks old and pretty keen on it BUT if one gets nifty there are a few points for improvement: side bags and brackets hard to get (I see them on the 2024 model!!) and the batterie+airbox cover I really liked it to be in chrome (2024 it has!!) and a good upgrade could be tubeless spoked rims like enduros (could reconsider for conversion?). I do fancy the blue 2024 version quite a lot but the red and chrome verion 2nd and 3rd place not sure if I would buy them. IF I would consider to get a 2024 I'd be strongly reconsidering to have my redchrome repainted to a highgloss blackchrome or rustchrome which would make it look more stylish as a Bullet or 2024 model range I guess. And this is the cheap way to completely restyle a redchrome Classic. The bronzechrome would win for a neutral timeless color as well.
I am not too sure if the 2024 color range would please me on the long run but as I said the blue version is nice.
I believe a classic500 version was also suggested? Not sure if this would be a massive upgrade worth considering taking fuel consumption in account and if it is needed where 100kmh limit is dictated. Right now I'd be pleased with the performance of a stock J350 (but I own a Griso as well)
Recently I installed a belt drive which gives a very comfortable experience as well but I would not consider offroad(grit).
As I understand correctly On several models they use google nav and on a tripper the Enfield nav? chances are the tripper can be Google nav later as well BUT I'd like to see the tripper have an analogue tacho on tft screen integrated as well as option to switch screens.
An upgraded paint sheme is a high risk on a 2nd hand market as well. Only a few would look decent I guess.
Love the looks of those tires! Is your speedo correct now or have you changed sprockets?
regards, Erik
Hitchcocks sells a tachometer that fits in the tripper socket.
end of clip is playlist -75 clips on halcyon grey about 30 on marsh grey and 20 on red.chrome. covers all including tappet adjustment.
tyres are still stock size so i dont see any variation in speed.i have clips in my playlist of it off road and it has great grip.
that impressed with tyres i also fitted them to my 2024 honda gb350 and 2024 suzuki vstrom 250 sx
I agree. Not keen on the new colours at all! Nothing like the lovely Halcyon Grey colour to tempt me!
a great colour indeed!
Agreed Warro, I was very underwhelmed with the new colours, and "modern additions". I can't quite believe how many Enfields you've owned... super fan!
next clip out very nteresting on owning a classic 350. may be out tonight
Apparently you can get the hunter tune by swapping out the throttle body and clearing the error code
i actually heard there was a tip for that when i had both bikes. but it was only early stages and i never went further into that mod
I agree with you.
great to hear. some agree and some dont. all welcome. did you check out my 75 clip playlist at end of clip
Excellent video, on the unnecessary new upgrades on the Classic 350s,really hate the new colours too, thats why i preferred the Bullet 350 2024 standard black instead, looks much more authentic . LEDs was a terrible idea....Cheers
totally agree some will like the new look and some prefer the old school bikes. i thought about that bullet too. very similar to the old 500's
i had two of those. the 350's are pretty good to ride compared to a 500...well vibe wise
just a bit down on power but a way better bike
@ridewithwarro You're absolutely right about the new 350s are great little bikes for back roads and city commutes, but a little low on power that's where the interceptor 650 is does good on highways speeds ,I use the interceptor, the BSA Goldstar 650 I'm yet to try, heard it's more like the Classic 350 on steroids.
@@blrmotorcyclesinc. dont think the bsa is here, but the interceptor is indeed a nice smooth ride. great motor in that bike.
back in 2019 when i purchased the ravishing red version i was really impressed after coming from 500 single rides
@ridewithwarro Exactly, I too got my interceptor in 2019 first batch.Its got more character than the newer Shotgun 650 which feels lot more refined , BSA Goldstar 650 just got launched in India yesterday on 15 August finally although it's made here in India ,took almost 2 years to launch here as the brand name rights still belonged and was held by another bicycle company TI cycles in India( in fact BSA bicycle was also my first bicycle in my childhood 😄 )Hoping to test ride the Goldstar soon.
@@blrmotorcyclesinc. interesting time ahead. all the best!
I'll take this opportunity to make a comment on the 350 Classic. I have test ridden the 350 a few times and found it a GOOD bike but not a GREAT bike. I own a 2019 500 Trials and in my opinion it is the real deal. We're talking about thump and torque. The 2 bikes are chalk and cheese. When I ride the 350 it feels like a bike without a soul. It just hasn't got the X factor. On the positive side it seems to be a better quality bike. If Royal Enfield make a new 500cc Bullet I'll be first in line to buy one. You having owned so many 500's know what I am talking about. I'm just stating my personal opinion.
true i owned all the 500's from 2012 to 2020 including the despatch/pegasus and trials. the 500's gave me nerve damage to the hands and i had no choice but jump to a 350 in 2022
the extra 7hp is indeed enjoyable on the 500. in my history i made heaps of clips on various 500 mods
in fact i was the very person who discovered through trial and error the double head steady to curb engine vibration in the footpegs.
so yes the 500 is the more powerful bike but not the better bike..lol only my opinion there!
@@ridewithwarro Thanks for the feed back. Some time ago I took your advice and installed a double head steady. I am lucky that the vibrations were minimal from day one - a rarity for a 500. So, when I ride the beast (that I have named MORPHEUS) I hear that beautiful thump and feel the amazing torque and all this with minimal vibration. I am in heaven and I always have a smile on my face. Royal Enfield please produce the 500 again but this time improve the build quality and eliminate the vibrations.. It would be a best seller. Don't get me wrong, the 350 is a great bike but for me it is the 500 that rules.
@@EvanHeisler-w6l if i never had the hand issues i'd be still riding a 500 as i know all the faults and quirks so no issues there for me.
speaking of that double head steady i once had a 500 with footpeg vibes that bad i once rode with feet off the pegs.
i fitted the double head steady and it totally wiped it out or pretty close. amazing day that day
all the best
Not keen on the new colours, except for the emerald which looks rather lovely.
I’d really love to see a chrome/gloss black version. If RA brought one out with the upgraded cam and no limiter I’d probably make the leap.
I guess an option would be to buy a red/chrome 2nd hand and re-do the tank and add the performance mods.
Can’t quite understand why they went with the matt black option, matt bikes look rubbish after very few ks.
yeah i had the gloss black in my 500's and they indeed look good. out tonight my next clip shows a good range of colours in the 500/350 range i owned plus some very good info on the 350's too
Some of the new colors are bizarre. Check out the white one with the red frame and the tank graphic drawn up by a five year old. How anyone thought that was a good marketing strategy i really don't know. LED headlamp, on the one bike that shouldn't have such a thing, i didn't think so. Hey , why not give it a four cylinder engine, shaft drive and a 180/55 rear tyre, and a flourecent pink paint job?
the days of having a new bike which looks 60 years old is running out of time. but i guess thats what they call progress...lol
@@ridewithwarro I don't think I'll be selling my Signals Marsh Grey any time soon
Because you already own an identical bike that's only a year old? Seems like an odd question.
not really. owver 4 years i owned 4 brand new honda cb500x bikes and all models had upgrades and some had major ones. looking at the enfield and its near 3 year run i expected something more than a change of colour and a gear indicator.
say it had got gear indicator/traction control and a better tune......i'd bought one!
after all buying is no issue as ive boyfgt 72 brand new bikes over past 12 years. buying is the easy part but i do expect some improvements
hope that answers your concern
Hi Warro, we need a 500 J platform.
yeah so true. if they bought out a 500 in the "J" i'd abort...lol but then again lots of others would too.
still think the 350 in the "J" is the pick of the classic and if not i'd be back on a 500
looking back only $1000 splits them and 7hp...lol
Hi Warro, that 1 - 5 is a gear position indicator to bring it in line with the Meteor and Hunter models. Onto performance, it may wellbe that Royal Enfield have removed the speed restrictor as part of the 2024 updates, I don't know.🤔 what I do know is that the new Meteor 350 Aurora has had its restrictor removed. I bought a new one here in the UK in March this year and instead of the restrictor cutting in at an indicated 75mph mine continues on. I have had mine showing 83mph on the clock and still the limiter hasn't cut in. I know of another owner with the same model whose bike isn't fitted with the restrictor.
I suppose with all the competition out there with similar cc machines Royal Enfield are going to have to up their game and try and Compete in the performance stakes. I also am on my 3rd Classic 350 Reborn. 2023 model Halcyon Black.🙂👍
its a pretty hard call to go past the classic 350 reborn. now these new colours might be ok if one was say 20 and it may look cool but i dont ride the yellow grom i have much at all as i feel like a clown or worse on it...lol
great little bike!
only bought it because it was cheap at $4500 new and no longer available due to single channel abs and duel is required now
Niice work Warro sir.. 🎉🎉Can you give me advice on a new chain? Thanks
i use to use tsubaki or did chains on the 500. either are pretty pricey but if for the 350 i have no real issues with the stock chain.

no so now and much better chain

I agree about you should be able to get the Hunter 350 tune for Classic 350.I seen where guys have put early Hunter Throttle bodies on the Classic 350 to get more power but not sure if you can use newer Hunter Throttle bodies as the older Hunter Throttle bodies weren't governed like the 350 Classic.
yeah i suppose what i should have done was swapped them over when i had the hunter...lol a golden opportunity missed there.
maybe...lol did you see the tread on those tyres...lol wicked!
@ridewithwarro Still get the Triumph 400?
Also new RE 650 Scrambler coming out called the Bear with better forks etc.
the new blue and red models look like 1970 Honda CD175's which old duffers went to work on
i use to own a cb175 twin in the day. twin carby model
yeah id say pull the speedo nd get another. you can go dealer or buy directly from ebay via india.
I just had a look at the news colours, and apart from Medallion brown, they look awful.
yeah i cant see me buying one. i think i will channel my cash into another good watch.
Its a gear indicator nothing to do with the speedo
great working out there. i recall if you watched end of clip...i said that too. guess you never watched the lot...lol
All they need is the ability to breath in and out better and be left alone. Why would you want trection control Warro? Also, why would anyone want to go faster on this sort of bike? sort of defeats the purpose I reakon.
never mentioned traction control on this and the main reason i like the enfield to look as old as it possibly can
i do like fuel injection and duel channel abs
now on the gb350 side i find its a lot quicker than the enfield on dirt and sealed and feels way lighter and faster
only real issue there is it just doesnt look as good.
Their biggest market is in India, they're catering to local taste in colours. LED is seen as an upgrade. In the West we're going to customise these anyway, so these details are irrelevant.
hard to say really.over the past 12 years ive bought over 70 new bikes.some i butchered and loaded up with trinkets and some i never really touched at all
There's too much fake stuff on the new 350 for me to ever be interested in one but one thing they should do if they ever want to try and bury the ghost of the 500 is offer a bored out 500cc version of the bike. Until they do that then the 500 will always outshine it I think, for this and many other reasons.
probably right there too. did you notice i have good side covers on mine...lol if you you know what i mean!
🤣your a funny bastard....Speedo failure indicator🤣
yeah i thought that was pretty funny and was wondering who would believe that. i mean ive owned 22 or 23 enfields it would be sad if i didn't know what it was...lol
my gb350 has one-all 4 cb500x's had them...lol
all the best!
Now if it was 1st April you wouldn't have fooled me.😂
Warro I was just gonna comment...and then there's the Honda...and you said it haha. Sounds like Royal Enfield needs a dealership in Nimbin what with all the hippy colours.
very hard to beat that gb350. nice ride/nice clutch/nice power and nice bike. crappy colour....lol
You called it Warro. Royal Enfield is going in a direction with these "classic" bikes that is getting further and further away from anything classic. I am happy that I purchased my 2022 royal enfield classic 350 because I learned my lesson for a fairly cheap price that I want nothing else to do with royal enfield brand, it's people, or it's products. I believe that I got off fairly cheap.
sounds like you gad a bad experience with your 2022 rnfield 350. apart from speedo issues ive found them pretty good compared to bikes of past...lol
in the response it appears some like the new colours but if colours there after -best buy a honda and score in all directions.
@@ridewithwarro thanks for the response I enjoy all your videos. I am in the United States and the enfield market here is fairly weak. Not much selection and the dealerships kinda lack in overall knowledge and passion. I have no regrets with my purchase. I get interest and nice comments every time I take it out. I am on my second speedo now. Sticky issues. And it is a real challenge to get the dealers to honor the warranty. I went to a demonstration ride event in Phoenix Arizona. I rode 13 different models. The dealership had 4 that were actually available for purchase. I found the pretty weak. I am going to enjoy my 22 Halcyon Grey classic 350 for a bit longer. Meanwhile can you send me your honda gb 350. I am really interested in that machine. Unavailable in the United States. Thanks for the chat, have great day!
@@aaronbrewer1742 playlist in my history on the gb350 plus in a day or so a very detailed video clip coming out on the classic 350
