Royal Enfield Bullet 350 ( 2019 - 2023 ) vs Royal Enfield Classic 350 (2012-2021)

Question 1

Q. Actually question is not only 4 bullet 350. First, I am 6 feet with 94Kg. My priorities are Comfort, maintenance, mileage and performance. I have to drive 40-50km daily, plus long drive once in every month. As per my requirements and physique, please give me suggestions which bike may suit to me from following bikes Bullet 350, Bullet 350 ES, Classic 350, CB Shine and Honda Saluto?

Answer

I am 6 feet tall and near 96 kg. I have used. cb Shine for 9 years now and it is good bike for City use and travelling 70-80 km range without any troubles. Yes it struggles to carry the weight of 2 heavy passengers above 70KmpH but it's a good bike for slow rides of around 60KmpH . Now coming to Bullets, I have recently bought a Standard 350 BS6 and have to say it is a very good bike. Enough power and torque to carry me and my friend who is even heavier than me about 100 kg. Plus riding alone the bike feels effortless in carrying a near 100kg person. And the riding position is also very relaxing, you can easily adjust on the long seat, sadly it is not possible in Classic Split seat.

Answer

You missed out few in it , by the way iam 6.3 ft , I used yamaha fzv.2 i used it for 6 yrs it was very comfortable comparing to other bikes but pillion seat is hard , now changed to bullet 350 es BS6 , and iam not getting comfort as of yamaha , but while riding I can see difference , Remember one thing holding a bullet key on your hand is a spl thing , afcourse it's a dream of every indian to own a bullet ❤️KING IS A KING ALWAYS

Answer

No bike is designed for 6 footers. If you go for bullet get the ones with uncut seats like the standard models, there you will have the option of pushing back to adjust your posture. Otherwise go for the cruisers where you spread your legs forward like Harley or Triumph.

Question 2

Q. What about gear system of Royal Enfield Bullet 350? I am planning for a standard, should I go for it or Classic this will be my first bike.

Answer

I have standard Bullet 350cc (1997 model) and its gear box system is different from engine where as new engines have combine gear box and engine....in new engines if you have any problem in gearbox you have to open whole engine whereas in old engine there is a separate gearbox attached with the engine u don't need to touch the engine.....if you want to buy old model you can contact me on +91 985****329

Answer

The gear system on royal Enfield is similar to other sports bike on market. For first gear you push the lever downward then up comes Nutral and Up 2,3,4 and so on to fifth. Depending upon your comfort in bike you can choose between Standard and Cassic. Standard is a bit high then Classic. Classic gives you a low ride experience comparing to most of the Royal Enfield's.

Answer

The Gear box in Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is a slick shifting one on my personal bike........The pattern is:-1st gear is up and rest four gears down.. neutral is between 1st and 2nd gear... Bullet is a very good bike indeed........If you want real ROYAL ENFIELD feeling then you should definitely go for the Bullet.......hope your queries are solved...😄😄

Question 3

Q. What is the difference between classic 350 & Bullet 350?

Answer

If you want that old charm and if you want the real feel of riding a bullet then standard 350 is your right choice.But if you want a little more advanced bullet then classic is a good choice. Standard 350 has hand-painted gold lines on the fuel tank which is fantastic compared to the sticker in classic 350.Classic 350 has split seats which are more comfortable than the long single seat in standard 350.Engine wise and power wise there is no difference.Classic 350 comes with rear disc brakes while standard 350 only have front discs.

Answer

Bullet is bullet 350 cc standard with black tanks with hand drawn golden lines.enfield thought of major update making it little more powerful self start option split seat which changed the fortune of the company.New young riders opted for it putting mega silencers while bullet fans went for second hand to hear old thumps while some brought standard for her crank weight and cruising on it.to be continued...Thanks

Answer

Classic World war inspired bike , Bullet is the original degns of the RE stable. Engine is the same is terms of bhp and torque. The difference is the split seats on the classic and 19inch front wheel and 18inch rear wheel. on the bullet its a single seat with 19inch wheels on both the front and back , the ride is higer in bullet compared the classic it suits for taller people and is comfortable on long rides.

Question 4

Q. Which one is better in terms of comfort between Royal Enfield Classic 350 & Bullet 350 for 40-45 riding?

Answer

Comfort differs person to person, for me Up-Rite position is highly suitable and comfortable one. Where as 40-45 riding is not suitable for me. Here's the conclusion I would like to say what's your preference for riding (i.e long endurance ride or short daily commuter) if you choose you bike for long then chose ride Up-Rite or if you choose your bike for racing/ short distance commuter then you go for 40-45 commanding position. Its always good to go test ride before Judging and you have to know what's purpose of choosing depending upon this riding position is chosen, finally it your decision to choose which suits you.

Question 5

Q. Which one to buy, Bullet 350 or Classic 350?

Answer

Both of this can give the punch of feel of riding an old model royalenfield bullet ,the new std model 350 is the replica version of the old model and in my opinion the classic 350 give you a fun of riding and a punch on it than the new std 350, and if you are in love with the design then you can go to std but if you are looking the quality,feel and thrill of riding an enfield you can go for a 350classic or the 500s (classic /std)both are good , with a custom exhaust you can rock the streets as well as the highways , all the best for your ride 👍👍👍

Answer

If your height is more than 5'5" or more then go for bullet 350 ES,if you are less than that then go for classic 350,but I suggest you if you have any height issue then go for bajaj avenger 220,bullet is a heavy bike and height will be a factor,but one more thing if you want to ride it for touring purpose then you can consider himalayan of royal enfield,it is light powerful and comfortable.

Royal Enfield motorcycles are the most reliable motorcycles in India and maintenance of Bullet 350 or Classic 350 are similar as their engine specs are same.
