Picking Up the Royal Enfield Classic 350
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- The day finally arrived; I headed off to Kmoto in Vilnius, Lithuania, to pick up a Royal Enfield Classic 350.
This also gave me a great opportunity to have a look around Kmoto and see what Lithuanian motorcycle dealerships are like.
The Royal Enfield Scram 411, Royal Enfield Himalayan, Interceptor and Continental GT 650 were all there. The Continental GT 650 had been bored out to 865cc and produced 70+hp (very interesting, as it's the first time I've seen one of these bored out).

Lots of upcoming Royal Enfield bikes:-
RE hunter
RR super meteor
RE Shotgun
RE Bobber
Thank you Sagnik :)
You’ve just blown my mind, Sagnik! I had no idea about these (apart from the Super Meteor)!
Thank you sir🙂
@@FreddieDobbs you are welcome Freddie,
We have also seen some spy shots of RE Himalayan 450 here in India, and some are saying it will be launched under the brand name of Sherpa..
BTW, love your videos, and I jope your channel and your awesome content gets more and more success
@@sagnikdebsarkar169 gee I hope they do call it Sherpa!! What an excellent name. Royal Enfield can do no wrong!
There's also a himalyan 650 coming
Visiting a bike dealership is like going to a candy store, everything is so tempting and you feel like a kid all over again 😃🔥😍.
Exactly. Went to buy yezdi scrambler test rode classic 350 brought honda cb350rs
You do indeed..
So true … and it never stops ! 😂😂😂 every time again 🫶🏻✨👋🏻
Exactly. Heart rate goes up, respirations and BP. We get it
Royal Enfield go from strength to strength...well done them! I love the scram and himmy, just wish they had a 650 (single cylinder) version. As that interceptor had been "sorted" I wonder if performance parts are available for the 350 and 411? Dare say they are restricted from the factory, just need exhaust, air filter and a remap to give it a few more horses, or is there more to it? regards Mick
When modern engineering and classic design combine, what a stunning bike, can't wait for the next video
I’m in love😍🏍
@@FreddieDobbs this could prove an expensive trip haha
I know this is a Classic 350 vid but that big bore Continental had me wiping drool off my chin. 🤤
How cool was that! I was exactly the same!😍🏍
X3 🤤✌️
As a Lithuanian living in UK love to see Englishman exploring Lithuanian 👌👍💪
Absolutely perfect for the Himalayan to be covered in mud, how it's supposed to be. Waiting for the Scram 411 myself. Much love
Isn’t it- the Himalayans look so good roughed up!🤩🏍🤘🏻
Thanks Danny🤜🏼🤛🏼
A Scram 411 with crash guards would be interesting, like a fancy Himalayan
@@fallinginthed33p can't wait to get my hands on it
Check with your local dealer. I have heard that the Scram was a request from RE Europe, and it may not reach your region (Americas right?). Otherwise some journalists here in France find it even better than the original Himalayan (But this is a matter of taste).
Greetings from Knoxville, Tennessee, USA.
Thanks for taking us along on this trip. It’s so cool to see normal, every day life of people in a different country and a different culture.
And yes - we motorcyclists all speak the same language!
Can’t wait to see your proper review of the bike.
that custom 650 sounded like a roaring beast......Congrats on your Classsic 350 , evergreen motorcycle from RE.
Now then! That RE GT looks like a beast, get a go on that Freddie see what its like in a straight line with those mods!
Wow, gt with twice the power but the same brakes and handling. I had an interceptor for a while and it would certainly get out of shape when you pushed it. But it wasn’t about the sport ride, more the B road cruise.
I know exactly how you feel about this one , I have the halcyon gray one , I put about 1000 miles on it thus far , I absolutely ❤ mine .
That Himalayan looks absolutely phenomenal. It's got its own little battle scars which add to the character, as rightly said by you. Awesome!
What a great peek into Lithuania from a motorcycle dealership. Just add watercraft and that is a typical setup of most USA based motorcycle dealerships. Harley and Triumph are the only brands that occasionally have motorcycle only dealerships.
Shame you never got a chance to ride the original Classic 500. The real deal as it were. I have one of the final one's on a 21 plate. An amazing machine 😎🤠
But he has ...

Wow! Conti 650's roar was just music to my ears!, great video Freddie. 👌
Interceptor is one of the best in their line up , I have an interceptor with me which I loves the most along with a ktm Rc 390 , a Ducati scrambler ikon and my favorite 1968 royal Enfield g2

You said, you will not get too excited at 14:30 but parked the bike at the place which looks very close to the road ;)
Stay safe!! we would love to continue enjoying your videos...
Looking forward to this RE 350 soon...
I wanted to end with the best possible setting- it’s too beautiful a bike not to find a nice background😍🏍
That modded 650 is something I would love to see a detailed video on.
Really Proud to be an Indian. Happy to see other country people liking the True indian born bike . This bike's manufacturing plant is just a few minute drive from my place in chennai ,India . currently, I am studying in vilnius .Hope to see you one day to talk about the bike culture in India .😃😇
Proud to be riding my own classic 350 knowing its made in India. Love the no nonsense engineering.
That's interesting to learn your proximity to Re plant while am from CBE currently in KL. Wish to share interests with you. Being a biker myself and also knowing Lithuania. Kindly connect. Cheers
I am currently live in Manali which located at the north of indian Himachal state and everyone here drive Himalayan and REs. I fell in love with Himalayan with a first sight and after that decided to buy the second-hand one bike. Really really crazy bike for off-road here. The first gear is insane. Love very strong Himalayan.
I’m loving my Classic 350! I hope you enjoy this one.
That Continental sounds glorious, tunnel bomb will sound terrific. There are only 2 types of shops that turn me back into a kid in the candy store, one is the fishing tackle shop, the other is the motorbike dealership. Thanks for posting
Freddie, you 're THE most entertaining, english speaking, bike content creator in RUclips. Looking forward to your review on the Classic 350.
Once again a very informative video
I can remember the days when here in the UK we also had big dealerships
Not many left now
I like the huge amount of bikes & stock that the dealership had
Makes the whole experience very transparent
Here in the UK we are not always able to view, try clothing on, sit on the bike as there not in stock
Nice to see the guy explain the details of the bike to you
Clearly a great experience 👍
Hi , glad to see your having fun out there and the rain has given up . Hitchcock have done a big bore conversion in the UK , with a video by Stuart Fillingham on the tube, worth a watch . There seems to as much gravel roads in Europe as there are tarmac ones . Thanks to Kmoto for letting you look round and thanks for the video . Take care, and catch you o the next one .👍😀 all the best .
Oh that Cafe Racer...that sound that confusion...that chaos that Rush...Dope!
Welcome to Lithuania from your channel fan from Lithuania. Hope you will have lovely time in our country. Try to drive with a motorbike to Trakai - castle between lakes, also if you are into 340 km ride to Nida - place with dunes at Baltic see. You also have to taste desert called sakotis or as we also call bankuchenas - or better find a place and see how it is made.
Welcome to sunny tropical Thailand 🇹🇭 ruclips.net/video/ccj-ydnB-WM/видео.html
Love your enthusiasm for bikes. Makes me love them more. Cheers!
Looking forward to the 350 review. Been a a big fan of RE since the new models were introduced a few years ago. They are all great looking bikes and I want them all, but unfortunately the budget won’t support that. I’m determined to have one very soon. Tough decision . Thanks for the walk around and upcoming review. Cheers, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
Labas! Nice to see you exploring Lithuania and Vilnius, and best of all doing that from a bike enthusiast point of view. Hope you get to try out more of these nice RE`s 😋
First thumbs up from me today, looking forward to this vlog, I looked at a RE Classic 350 a few weeks ago and I am interested to see what you make of it Freddie.
Thanks Shane! First impressions are hugely positive😍🏍
Hoping to get a 350C next year when I've done my test. Looking forward to your review 😁
I’ve always loved the looks of the Himalayan. That black one just looks fantastic and great job on that top box. I’m not usually a fan of top boxes but that one suits the bike perfectly. RE’s are really growing on me. So looking forward to the next one Freddie. Hopefully it comes out very soon :)
Your excitement is infectious!! Looking forward to the next videos 😁
That Interceptor sounded fantastic!...the Himalayan is the only "adventure" bike I can actually ride..my feet do touch the ground..lol..i do love the chrome/paint combo's on the tanks..they are beautiful...excellent video...Thanks!!
Eastern Europe is where I am going on my travels in the future. I've already started a few years back.
It is like going back to nicer times. Like 1975 in Sweden ( my country). People are really nice...Completely safe it is...I'm going on a 6 week road trip soon. Starting in Gdansk, where the ferry from Stockholm make land😘😁
I'm soo glad I have the pleasure of owning one of these legendary motorbike. I have one in Stormraider S 2021
What a brilliant bike shop, they're really what I love to just go and visit, they have a bit of everything, and such a big building too 👍 looking forward to the next video and the one on the Scram too, I can see your stay in Lithuania will be a good one.
You'll love it Freddie. I have a 2016 (17 registered) B5 Bullet 500 and it's the worst bike I've ever bought in so many ways, but the one that gives me the most outright joy riding.
I had my first bowl of beet root soup today based on your recommendation.! excellent! followed by main course of baked chicken,baked calliflower and bacon bun from baltic bakery on Archer ave here in chicago illinois!
Hi Freddie, great looking dealership. That chrome continental is a beast - tops ride
Isn’t it- I really liked that Continental a lot!💪🏼
Wherever you go, as you say , we all speak the same language. No matter who you are, your preferences or your origin, we all get on.
Maybe that's what I like about bikes the most.
Great dealership. 👍 Just needs a coffee ☕️ shop!
Loving the 350.
Everything you need to travel. A roll bag on the back. Back road route. Off you go. And much rather go off the beaten track on one of these than half a ton of Bavarian metal.
Good one.
Happy, safe travels 👍
I was thinking exactly this re the coffee shop👌🏻☕️
And the back road with the Classic 350- it’s perfect habitat🤘🏻🏍
You’ll love it. I’ve just done John O Groats to Lands end on mine, 2152 miles in total, getting there and coming back. The bike performed faultlessly and while not fast can run comfortably at 70mph if necessary. Superb bike. Hasn’t used a drop of oil in 2600 miles. It really benefits from proper running in, the motor frees up nicely and the brakes definitely sharpen up. Beautifully made as well.
Love the series and thank you Freddie & Monica. Hope your well - life is good and your wheels are a rolling - Best wishes 🙏
Looks beautiful glistening in the sunlight. Lucky you and Monica have it for 2 weeks, hope the weather stays good. Ride safe.
Great job Freddy! You are the man!
The bike at 07:08 has a Reklause Clutch mod on it. Great product, I have 1 in my HD 883, makes bike always in go mode, but you still have to shift gears. Truly automatic bikes are found in various Honda DCT models like CTX, African Twin or Goldwing or most Scooters.
Lovely video Freddie. Looks lovely the bike, countryside, and dealership.
I used to have a Royal Enfield 350, year 2000, Great bike to ride.
You look really good on that red and chrome version Freddie 😎
Great vids Freddie, your natural attention to simple detail is refreshing, informative and easy to watch.
Bike looks great. Bigger than a 350. Enjoy 👍🏻
Great video Freddie. Good to see you back road testing bikes.
Thanks John- I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time🙂🏍
Ohh Freddie that conversion sounds so good and double the horses great , looking forward to your thoughts in the next vids but it looks lovely .😊👌
I look forward to your review. The enthusiasm across RUclips for this motorcycle is phenomenal despite its lowly 20 bhp. It must really do something to the rider. As someone who rides a BMW G310 with a whopping 34 bhp I find this interesting. I expect your enthusiasm levels to be thru the roof Freddie!
The 310 is like a himmi from 20 years in the future.
Thnx for featuring my custom gt650, and yes, I does wheelies now. :)
Sry, my custom gt865 I meant...;)
I love that bored out 865 Royal Angryfield!
Mate...I think you might end up with another bike in your stable. And we haven't even seen your reviews yet!! I'd like a Meteor because they look...I dunno...cooler...but then it looks like the classic is the one everyone wants. Both are perfect city bikes without a doubt. And sound wicked without any mods. Thanks for the vid guys and love from NZ as always.
I LOVE it!! And you’re spot on- it’s a genuinely great city bike👌🏻
Sending all my best🙂🇳🇿
That continental gt is a beast ..
My wife is half Lithuanian half English although born in the US. Lithuanian is Definitely on our to visit list. She has not been to the UK but i have via the Air Force. Will definitely be back though.
Great video, feeling excited to see how you feel with it! Absolutely adore my classic 500 tribute! It's slow, but that's the fun and charm of it! For everything else there is the Transalp! 😁😁 Take care and ride safe mate 😊🖖🏼
Hi Freddie, so happy for you. Love your videos, your voice and the content. Can’t wait to see more videos with your new Royal enfield brother
What they did to the continental simply brill! Am thinking of picking up the classic as my first bike. Test first. Soon😜
The Royal Enfield looks brilliant... A mix of classic styling and modern reliability! Enjoy 😎
So looking forward to this review! I consider this bike for next to my Kawasaki Z900rs, really love the classic style! Enjoy your time there Freddie.
That’d be a superb pair that’d compliment each other👌🏻🙂🏍🏍
I've never really considered a Enfield but that GT... well just beautiful. Enjoy your travels in Lithuania
Weather better than predicted..... Enjoy.
As you say, biking community all shares the one passion. That's why we all like to go to Biker 'Caffs' - you can go on your own and doubtless someone will want to chat.
Looking forward to the review. Beautiful bike.
Excellent video…just enough information and great camera work 👍
Thanks Alan!🙂
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Freddie and Monika
Looks like your gonna have some Enfield fun Freddie. Your the only person I’ve ever seen that gets so excited to ride a small displacement bike. But hey small bikes are fun. I would get on that hopped up special . The best two words ever are big bore! And that goes along with big cam. Oh ya the reason that thing sounded like a Harley on steroids, is because I think it was running an S&S muffler and pipes. S&S made in the USA. And your right, bikes are the universal language. A guy from England, is talking to a guy from Lithuania, and a guy from America is commenting about it. We’re all on the same page. If the world only worked like that everything would be cool
Gorgeous video. Thank you for this
Another great video, thank you Freddie.
Great adventure you're having there. What a brilliant customisation they did to the RE. :>)
12:56......agree. Also, was actually hoping to see that guy take off on his Interceptor demo, so good edit!.........SPOILER ALERT: he's gonna love it, and buy one.
I also think adventure bikes look better dirty. I used to wash my R1100GS about twice a year. I am looking forward to you testing the Scram 411. I can't imagine it will be as good as the Fantic.
That's one wild Enfield 865.
Totally agree!
And this’ll be at the forefront of my mind; the Fantic… or the Scram 411
@@FreddieDobbs I bet it's the frantic Fantic.
Freddie, I have sent a message to you through your website regarding a Tokyo based crime novel I have had published.
Nick
You drooling over the Himalayan reminds me of the Mexican Pot Noodle ad from years ago: "Eet ees dirty and you want eet."
Also, CFMoto is a Chinese company that has been providing engines for the smaller KTM/Husqvarnas for years. Now they are building whole bikes that are very closely related to KTM. They also run a race team in Moto3. They are competitive.

Had the SX175 Lambretta many years ago can still remember the plate number ECU 803 E not bad saying it was 1969 when I had it. … love the look of the new RE getting drawn in wanting one my wife thinks I’m losing the plot … you only live once 🇬🇧
She’s a beauty!
Isn’t she😍🏍
I love the enthusiasm and passion you put into your videos - keep up the good work 👍
You should hear the old Classic 350 and 500, they sounds better than a Harley..😍😍
Looks a great shop
Hi, good video, saludos desde Chile hermano motero Freddie se te ven y trasmites tanta pasión por las motos , se agradece y saludos a Mónica..🇨🇱✌🇬🇧🤜🤛Un abrazo!!.
The Himalayan caught my eye. So nice to see you manage wherever you are, a Man for All Seasons.
That is a great looking bike Freddie and really suits your style. I think they look better with just the single seat. Will be interesting to see if 20hp is enough though???
The lack of power has always put me off of the Royal Enfield bikes, but that 850 mod sounds interesting 🤔
865cc big bore kit bro.Reverlry Cycles in Australia are the leaders in the 865 Big bore game & been building them for 3-4yrs now & the wife has a 960cc Big bore Royal Enfield drag bike fastest R.E in the world.
I absolutely love it! Exactly my thoughts re power- I’ve been testing in as many different situations as possible to find out🙂
@@FreddieDobbs I knew you'd love it.
@@mattus1gig I think the 850 kits are for the 650 twins. Freddie has borrowed the 350 single I believe. If an aftermarket shop makes some kind of upgrade for that to maybe put out 30hp then I’d reckon loads of people will be interested.
Great content, looking forward to see your channel grow!
I'm making my mark before 60k subs!
I used to live in South East London for over 10 years, seeing familiar locations in your videos is great!
Great job with the Conti :)
Love your enthusiasm.😬
Perhaps I’ve overlooked the Himalayan ? …. but after another excellent video I think it deserves a second look. Great content as ever. Thank you 🙏
I'm generally not a fan of the retros. "neither fish nor fowl" but I must admit RE nailed this one.(I don't care for any of their other retro's tbh)
I also really like their off roaders as they look almost military, proper looking & functional rather than try to be fish and meat. if you get my drift.
Great stuff and glad the weather gave a break 🌧️
ok Richard
Tf are you talking about? Their interceptor and continental are exceptional bikes
@@lilleBoyy exceptional in what way?
@@richardbartlett6932 the way it looks is one of a kind and the engine and the gearbox are absolutely perfect for what it is. And modern classic to cruise around
I always look forward and appreciate your comments Richard- they always start a conversation!😃
RE really have got the styling spot on😍👌🏻 And regarding the Himalayan- totally agree- it is simple, utilitarian transport and that is the charm if it
Being looking forward to this, so cool
What a badass bike... I just wanna day in and out
I had a desert storm bullet. Loved it it was great apart from the plastic chainguard that broke off and fed in with the chain causing damage.l would be interested in another Enfield though maybe a Himalayan.
Man, the big bore Continental sounds absolutely wild!
loved this video! RE has some superb bikes. the meteors have a soft spot for me, got the regular meteor myself. love the upcoming super meteor, sadly my wallet isnt as happy.
freddie, you have a talent like no other to make things sound classy. i would so much like you to review som cfmoto bikes. especially the heritage 700 and the mt 800. those bikes are lacking in good reviews on youtube. they are built on older ktm platforms so the quality should be equivalent to those.
Hälsningar från Thailand 🇹🇭 ruclips.net/video/Fjtx_5wuUkI/видео.html
The RE 350 is a great little bike and probably all you need in urban areas or just pootling about
Bang on Stuart- totally agree!
Having ridden both the Meteor and the classic, other than the engine I found them very different bikes. But I fell for both of them. I wonder if you will find that they change you as a rider like I did and find the time spent riding is 100 % delightful. I'm excited to hear your verdict. With speed limits coming down I'm pretty sure we'll see a lot more RE bikes.
What would you say was different about the two?
@@CoffeeD_1 The riding position on the classic is very much like a real British classic. To me it feels a bit faster than the meteor and the steering seemed a bit more responsive. The meteor is more relaxed, like an armchair. The steering puts less pressure on the wrists. When you first get on the classic after being used to the meteor there's a difference in the centre of gravity, your higher up and the gear change is under your foot, rather than ahead of it. For me it was a snappier change.
@@TheArtdecovampire thank you. the classic sounds nice to me already
Hi Freddie took your advice took the wife to southwold for the weekend loved it
Ooooo that custom GT sounds meaaaannnnnnn
