Royal Enfield Classic 350 (2012-2021) Performance User Reviews

I'm 6ft1in tall. I previously own a Royal Enfield Classic 350. And let me share my experience.I'm one of the several people who fell for the looks of the motorcycle, who fell for its connect with the person who rides (possibly due to the vibrations), who fell for its low end torque, who fell for its sound.Initially it will attract you a lot and it will make you feel like a King of the Road. As you are on love with the bike, you will love its pros and love even more for its cons!Now coming to the performance it is a lazy elephant which took almost 16seconds to reach 100Kph, with a ton of vibrations. But you will love it during short rides and can't cope with after 30minutes. Because after riding over 100Kph over 30minutes, your hands will be numb and your whole body vibrates. And to come over this feeling, you need a healthy 30minutes of break. So riding under 80Kph helps but not much by a significant margin.So, let's talk about the comfort, with the stock handlebar, I've had a lot of lower back pain. With RD350 handlebar, Classic's perch is better for atleast 30 minutes if ridden sanely under 80KPH. After that, I've sharp pain in my knees due to constant vibrations from footpegs no matter the RPM you choose to ride. If ridden above 80Kph, two more pains will shoot: one from my shoulders and other from my b**t due to the vibrations it has on offer.Talking about mileage, it will provide me 33Kpl if ridden over 100Kph, 38Kpl if ridden at 80Kph, 44Kpl if ridden under 60Kph.Throttle response is lazier due to carburettor, now it is much better due to the addition of FI. Brakes are poor, front disc is less bitey and rear drun brakes are wooden (now even comes with rear disc, but still feels wooden). Ride quality is good. Tube tyres are a problem. (Tubeless is on offer today)And coming to the maintenance part, it digs a hole in your pocket during paid service. Free service costs a maximum of INR.1500. But paid service cost minimum is INR.2500. And at 24000kms, a paid service costed me around INR.10,000. People at Royal Enfield Service Centre never repairs but just replaces. It may be due to the Sub-par quality of the spare parts. So, on even years (after first year with free services) you need to allocate around INR.6000 for servicing it. And on odd years, you must pay INR.8000-10,000 for servicing. In 3years of ownership, I've spent around INR.25,000 for services alone.I've used it for 3years and ridden it for 30thousand Kilometers and finally have sold it due to heavy vibrations which causes me consistent right shoulder pain and also high maintenance it demands over years.Finally the resale value is good.Conclusion: It is pointless to buy 350cc machines from Royal Enfield today. Better opt for their 411cc or 650cc machines. If you want to buy a 350 from Enfield, wait for their J platform launch. Thank god, they bid adeu for their 500cc UCE engines. Don't commit the mistake I've once committed.Still in August 2020, this Classic 350 is their best seller. Royal Enfield doesn't want to let their milching cow, that's why they are gonna introduce the new J platform engines in their lower selling model, Thunderbird. People must change!!! For those who are in a hurry to buy a Classic or Bullet 350, Wait till J platform's lauch.

Best in class. Powerful great road presence, great driving experience.

I am huge fan of the re classic 350 ash white, I own this since 2017 and its performing great.There was a time when we use to think that owning a bullet is expensive but its a myth i suppose now as i am using this machine for almost 5 year s and its good going, Its about when you take care of the vehicle properly it gives you back the performance.I have almost done with 30000 km with proper service and havent spent a bomb on the same as its giving me a proper mileage of 38 to 40 max but that ok for the heavy machine of 350 cc.Haven't spent much on the parts yet as they are all intact and no problems with the same.Almost i have used the vehicle in different location and was able to get the parts easily available if any thing required.Engine performance is also pretty good haven't changed the silencer not any company fitted things as they are all up to the mark perfect for the vehicle.So as happy with the royal enfiled classic 350.

Driving experience :- it's always an awesome feeling to ride a royal enfield bike.Road presence in comparison of other bikes is always impressive.Almost 90% metal used in this bike so, No doubt about the build quality.Mileage :- for city ride it's about 32-35 kmpl and for long or highway ride:- it's about 35-38 kmpl pickup:- as it has 350 cc engine which gives a decent torque to pick up.So i can say that the pick up of this bike is amazing.Service cost:- that's one of the negative points of this bike as it requires an expensive service.Engine performance :- this is the major consideration for me at the time of selection for bikes.The 350 cc engine is giant.Off-roading becomes very easy when you have bike with this engine.Build quality :- as i mentioned above there is not doubt about the build quality of this bike as it is made up of almost 90% of metal.I have 350 classic stormrider bs6.

Not buy the vehicle worst quality not comfort for this vehicle not value for money worst bodybuild waste product not smoothness vibrate worst service worst performance not quality for in this vehicle not buy this vehicle please full test drive in your satisfaction in ok buy the vehicle

Price must be under 2 lakhs.Its too much according to performance and facilities.All intrested buyer can't invest that much huge amount to buy a bike.Please, Think once because many boys dreams is dying due to high price.

Performance is not at all good mileage is also not getting what i expect monthly i have to spend money for that brake shoe and sidestand in 2 months once i have to change overall its a big lose

Driving experience is very good.Because when you ride you become king of road.That aura of driving you get from only this bike.The riding position is also make you comfortable driving.Every notice you when you are going.The worst thing of bullet it has lots of weight but it makes it more powerful.The pickup is so much yu get from 500cc and 350cc both.The performance is great it have nice speed also very fast.But you can't get bored while driving this machine.In traffic area you will have some difficulties for driving.The mileage is between 35 to 42 kmpl.Which is decent but i hope it should give minimum 50kmpl.The best thing is that royal look and high sound silencer.That makes attractive things and everyone is fan of royal enfield sounds.
