I absolutely love a single cylinder! Nothing compares to that dug dug thump it produces. Plenty of character that makes you smile. The 350 is a joy to ride. I’ve done some long distance touring on the Classic 350. While it’s not built for the freeways, it is comfortably at home on the back country roads. 20 horses is enough for my daily commute and enjoying the scenery on the weekends. It’s a therapeutic relaxing road. I know they plan to bring out a 650 twin version but I wish they released a 500cc single as well.
Great little bike. I love mine... has put fun back into commuting. And wherever I stop, there's always ( yes, really always) someone who comes over to admire it. Best part: no chance of losing your license on this bike. Saves up points for the other bike...
5:56 Lovely concise review 😊 . . 20 HP is certainly modest, I had hoped a larger and more powerful 500 version might appear - another 5 HP perhaps and some more torque would make all the difference - but a beautiful bike the 350 Bullet most certainly is . . .
Was contemplating getting Classic 500 EFI for the same reason but I've decided on fresh Bullet 350 Maroon, looks better than black in my opinion. I will buy Big Mule (Classic 500 EFI) later when I get a chance to get one in a good shape.
Tested one last year. It’s a nice little bike, but somehow I just didn’t get the feeling. For me it’s lacking cc - not power, but cc. And it all feels a bit..dunno..numb? Like it’s lost some of it‘s roughness and quirkiness. Almost overengineered.. I daily a Guzzi V7 and I love that thing, the vibration, the sound, the clunkiness of the gearbox. I would love to love the 350, but somehow I don’t… I hope that one day they’ll make a good old 500 thumper..
I've owned bikes with the extra cylinder & extra 80 HP And although they were very fast they were sterile compared to the Classic 350. With so much charm and personality , you cant help but smile. You can keep your 100 HP bikes that legally you could only use 20% of the power.
@@derekcostello1016 It's that "charm and personality" thing that we've all forgotten about. Harley guys talk endlessly about the "character" of their bikes and how riding isn't all about going fast all the time. All of a sudden Royal Enfield have brought a bike to market that has that sort of appeal, but in a more cost effective package and something that is going to appeal to wider audience of riders. And they've given riders something that they can thrash, a bit. At the end of the day, if you're riding a 100+hp bike, you're a nurse 99% of the time, and a rider 1% of the time. On something like this, you can "ride" it every time you go to the grocery store without risking life, limb or licence. I get it.
I wonder what makes you state this bike is unreliable?? I haven’t heard of anyone who owns one saying they have had any problems with them. Also I believe they come with 3 years warranty. I am genuinely interested to hear what your experience is for you to state they are unreliable…. I don’t own one, I am just looking for some insight.🏍👍😎

Great video, had to sub , cheers from New Zealand

Loving my Bullet 350!
20 hp is plenty around town, just enough on quiet country roads but a bit light on for dual carriage 110k highways.

Amazing review, amazing bike
I still like a manual kick start as a back up

@@slawomirkulinskiYou should wait a little RE will launch clasic 650 later this year or in early 2025

Thank you
Has it still got the kick starter in case the batt goes dead
No
even if it had a kick start, it will be useless after battery dead.... that's the modern exhaust Norm (bs6).
there is a possibility that it will come out in 500 cc ?
have you seen the Royal Enfield MUSKET hand made bikes USA = very nice = thanks love this bike some good importing from india !
😅 "great little bike" he says. It is big little one in India 😂
Just missing a cylinder & 100hp
I've owned bikes with the extra cylinder & extra 80 HP

I will never trade this gentle thump of 350.
Missing the point, more like
Underpowered and very unreliable bike to ride
Bro we need a bike for speed then can go with ktm.
Unreliable? that's not criticism that's just hating.

If this is your opinion, you are not a real rider

So, how tall are you?
