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.
The split seat looks stylish. When it comes to the part of pillion rider, he/she needs to struggle in long rides. Because, the rear seat is nowhere near the comfort line. It shakes always and even causes accidents. RE engineers must have a look on that. Well, the rest of ergonomics is alright. The riding position, where your hands, legs, and back meet, it’s killing man!
Still, many people use to compare the Classic 350 with other sportbikes like R15, Duke 200, CBR250R, Pulsar 200NS etc. You know what? It doesn’t make sense at all. Because, an RE bi-wheeler is unique and is a kind of its own. If you need power and to turn roads into tracks, just opt for any superbike. Why should you compare it with the Classic 350 or any other RE product? For heaven sake, do understand that RE is something cult and is the oldest motorcycle company in the world which is still in continuous production. Hope you guys got how respectful the brand Royal Enfield is ( to the ones who don’t know) .
For me, my Classic 350 is my life. The machine has brought many changes into my life. It’s indeed my fortune. I have made many trips with my machine. In fact, my Classic 350 clocked 24, 000 kms in just one year, which wouldn’t have possible to me with any sportbike mentioned above. In short – I’m not getting bored with my Classic for it gives me new riding experiences and exposures each day. And my day starts thinking, “Oh! I can ride my Classic 350 today invading the new depth of subways.”
