Q. Which one is best to buy classic 350 or classic 500. I am looking for better performance, average & long terms with comfort as I am traveling with family.
  • Classic 500 comes with fuel injection system which gives better throttle response , and 500 has slightly better torque and power output . if you are buying this for long distance touring 500 would be a better option as it can cruise comfortably at 90 to 100 kmph on the downside though 500 is less fuel efficient and maintenance costs are higher when compared to 350. if you are looking form a more pocket friendly bike for city as well as for shorter rides then 350 would be the choice
  • RE STD 350 has ABS , Kick start & Black color only. RE 350 Electra has Self start , ABS & Many color & Chrome . Rest more less same .Go for RE 350 Electra ABS or RE STD 350 ABS.
  • Go for classic 350 in terms of mileage 350 is better for comfort both are the same and for performance test ride both the bikes and you will get your answer as per my opinion 350 is better overall

Q. Which bike is best Royal Enfield 350 or 500 - Classic 350?
  • Depends what you need , i have a 350 because i use it for daily commute for long rides more that 1000 km I'll prefer 500 but one can also do it with 350 i have done a 650km ride with my 350 faced no issue
  • If you want more power go for 500 else 350 is sufficient for normal ride
  • In 350 you have best mileage, in 500 you didn't have that mileage and if you want to re sell your 500 you didn't get enough amount but 350 give decent.

Q. Classic 350 ABS or Classic 500 ABS Stealth Black, Which one is better Confused because stealth black is not available in 350 abs...
  • If you like riding in hill or you live in hilly areas classic 500 would be good for you but if you want just some nice rides in the you can go for classic 350 I would suggest you to go for Classic 350 Gunmetal grey because it is easy to maintain and stealth black is like a dust catcher whenever you wash it or clean it after5-10 minutes it will start catching dust
  • If price doesn't matter then go with Stealth black it offers one of the best looks and attractive tooIf your budget is bit tight then go with classic 350 signals or Redditch red ABS it's an overall package with less maintenance cost and offers new look when it comes to signals
  • See bike with #abs is always better than non abs bike . If your economics condition is good ,you can buy RE 500.If economics condition is not good you should go in 350 segment.

    I have been using this bike 

    I have been using this bike from 4 years, Initially it was felt smooth riding and now the ride has become rough.I feel a lot of scope to refine the royal enfield engines.Sometimes the power is not sufficient to enjoy the ride in little exciting mode, Believe royal enffiled should work on improving power.
