    A very fair review. Some of the numbers look poor on paper: too heavy, not enough power. But we don't ride on paper, we ride on the road, and this is a great bike for real world use. Frugal, fun, great for commuting or exploring. And they are indeed surprisingly well built, and covered with QC marks. Royal Enfield have really upped their game, and the quality is now on par with the best from Japan or Europe.

    I absolutely love mine. The Cam sold by Hitchcocks makes a world of difference without changing any of the sweet ride of the bike. I installed Hitchcocks full exhaust,DNA system for air box and FuelX Lite. 9 bikes in my garage and I ride this one the most. Over 60 years of riding and racing motorcycles and this Classic 350 is one of my all time favorites.

    • @Marc.Stones
      @Marc.Stones  9 месяцев назад +1

      You did all the possible tuning mods, sounds good. I will start with the air box after the brake in period.

    I saw exactly the bronze chrome version a year ago and bought it on the spot. I still own and ride my 33 years old BMW outfit with sidecar, but I enjoy this Royal Enfield as one of my favorite solo bikes ever ( I owned and rode quite a few over the decades ). It has something no other bike on the market can offer (except maybe original vintage machines, with their flaws and problems ) - if, as You say, one understands the philosophy of this bike. One thing I did change was the air filter. ( for a DNA) Also, after 2000-3000 kms of riding it in, the machine really shows it can be a perfect machine even for serious travelling.

    • @Marc.Stones
      @Marc.Stones  9 месяцев назад +2

      Thanks for your feedback. A lot of riders say the engine will be even better after 2000 km, looking forward to it. I also ordered the DNA filter, I will change the filter after the brake in period. Cheers Marc

    Nice bike! I had a Himalayan a few years back. I had fun learning how to ride, it was a bit heavy for a beginner but I finally conquered the weight. I put many more miles on my current moto (c400gt).
    UPDATE - a few weeks ago I traded my c400gt for a new RE Hunter 350 … I’m simply loving the moto!

      In Coastal Southern California and have a 2023 Classic 350 Reborn also in Chrome-Bronze which I purchased over 7 months ago and absolutely love. I often get asked questions about how old it is or who makes it. I rarely see another Royal Enfield on the road even though there are two dealerships that carry this bike less than an hour away from where I live.

    If you are planning to buy this bike. Please shoot a video of your entire experience and your first weekend ride as well. I am pretty sure, you will fall in love with this bike like all of us enfield fans. And probably, in a few months, you will generate more money than the cost of the bike. We are Enfield fans and we love to hear good things about Enfield. I do own the stealth black variant of classic 350 reborn.

Gixxer hier, Yamaha R6 da aber dieses Bike oder auch die interceptor 650 haben es mir sowas von angetan, wobei die classic vlt für den Anfang besser ist, da diese mich mit Sicherheit nicht überfordern wird !Außerdem sind diese bikes wesentlich besser für Touren ausgelegt, die ich unbedingt unternehmen möchte :) Danke für dieses wunder schöne Video Marc!

    Thanks for the honest and mature review. I tried this bike few days ago in Madrid. And I loved it. Smooth, incredible sound, torquey engine, no vibrations and extremely comfortable. The 19"-18" wheels are part of the secret plus a fantastic suspension. I do not exaggerate if I say that the sound of the one cylinder engine is the best in its class. I will buy one when I sell one of my bikes.

    Moin, auch ich habe dieses Modell (classic 350) für mich entdeckt und kann es seit knapp 1 Woche mein Eigen nennen. (In meinem Fall in der Militär-Optik "Signal" Desert Sand) Passt für mich vom Ergonomie-Standpunkt (auch 1,88m bzw 6' 2") hervorragend. Aktuell befinde ich mich folglich noch in der "Einfahrphase" (Disziplin erforderlich), die ersten 500 km waren nach 2 Tagen erlediigt. Bin mal gespannt auf die Kosten der Erstinspektion, die morgen bzw übermorgen erfolgen wird.

      @michis.9888 9 месяцев назад

      @@Marc.Stones ....und die Einfahrerei ist ja noch nicht beendet. Bis ca 1000 km lasse ich die Sache noch recht ruhig angehen, so bis ca max 80 - 85 km/h.
      Übrigens zur Info: Die Erstinspektion (eine "große") ist nicht ganz billig. Ich habe vorhin 283, 50 € bezahlt. Dafür ist die nächste 5000er - Inspektion eher nur so ne "Mal gucken"- Sitzung (ohne Ölwechsel, Ventile etc)
