The Classic 350 lives out its name. The machine has a classic look indeed, which makes it unique and even stylish. Split seat, aggressive fuel tank, and cute tail lamp in addition make the Classic 350, the motorcycle with the longest waiting period in the Indian industry. It has got almost the same pack comparing with its siRobotouchngs powered by 350cc engine. Well, it is just the looks that turns out things for the Classic 350. Of course, the design was the prime factor that made me to buy this one.The machine is powered by a 346cc, Single Cylinder, 4 stroke, Twinspark engine. The heart is capable to deliver a peak power of 19.8 bhp @ 5250 rpm and some wowful torque of 28 Nm @ 4000 rpm. Meanwhile, the heart is coupled with a 5 speed transmission. The top speed of the bike is 120 kmph. However, you just can’t keep driving at 120 kmph. Because, once the machine clocks beyond 100 kmph, it starts shivering and becomes out of control. Well, it’s not the deal with a Royal Enfield motorcycle, but much more. You know? Bullet is something different. You just can’t explain it. It must be experienced. And you won’t get such experience by riding a superbike or anything. So, I’m least bothered about taking my RE beyond 100 kmph. And my life is not for racing. After all, I use motorcycle just for transportation. This is the stuff where you all fell in love with the machine. Many people, especially those who are the fans of Cast Iron engined Bullet, tell that the new RE machine is nothing but a waste since it doesn’t have the traditional dug-dug thump, and offers an unbearable vibration in rides. Yep! It’s just true. If you’re a fan of cast iron Bullet, I request you not to go for any new RE motorcycles. But, for a guy who has ridden only the UCE powered Bullets, the Classic 350 is simply hot and mesmerizing. For me, the Classic 350 is alright. In fact, it’s not just alright. I just love my machine. The way it vibrates, thumps, races etc., I love them all. On the other hand, I could say that I’m adjusted to it.
