Full Review
So I purchased my dream bike the Royal Enfield Classic 350 after waiting for a period of 3 months. The initial service provided by the people from Royal Enfield was very good. And now after riding my bike for a distance of over 4000kms, here is my review on the Royal Enfield Classic 350.
Style
Me being a fan of old school bikes, I find the Classic 350 one of the best looking bikes out there in the market. But this is a personal opinion. But the styling of the bike is such that it is sure a head turner and it kind of makes the personality of the person riding it enhance. The only drawback is that Royal Enfield should make the Matte color available in the 350cc version.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
The engine performance is good, but not to be compared with other bikes. The pickup is okay and could be better. On long journey the engine heats up and it can be felt on legs. The fuel economy issue for the Classic 350 is quite debatable. I have known people from my riding group who are getting a mileage of 25-30 kmpl whereas for me, I easily get a mileage of about 40-41 kmpl in city and about 43 kmpl on highways. The gearbox of Classic 350 is okay. Not too smooth and not to hard either. Its easy to put the bike in neutral gear unlike many bikes in the market, but sometimes on the open road the need for 6th gear is felt badly.
