The younger sibling of the Royal Enfield Classic bikes launched recently; the Classic 350cc seem to hold the Enfield legacy high and up. For God-knows-why reasons Royal Enfield wanted to brush off the tag of Bullet with these Classic versions and so be it say bike lovers already. The company likes the Classic 500 and the Classic 350 to be identified as Royal Enfield Classic models at that.
The Classic 350cc doesn't need to be loud to get identified as it comes out of a Royal Enfield lineage and the muscle speaks high of the thumper. It is designed retaining those typical Royal Enfield characteristics and so will not disappoint bike enthusiasts, especially Enfield lovers.
If you ask the unique features that Royal Enfield Classic models sport, then the 2 models Royal Enfield Classic 500 and Royal Enfield Classic 350 both sport 18-inch spoke wheels for extra handling and ride comfort.
As regards the headlamp and the tail lamp, while the headlight casing looks like tiger-eye-like lamps, the tail lamp assembly looks vintage and classic, and definitely not flimsy. Although the headlamp is pretty much retained the traditional way, the powerful halogen is the new add on in the Classic 350cc to give that contemporary look besides brilliant illumination.
The fuel tank, toolbox and the air filter box all sport classic looks, and the crafted fuel tank with its graphics and thigh-resting pads give the bike somewhat a retro look. The speedometer and the fuel indicator are both integrated into headlight casing. The font on speedometer gives it an amazing British style. The one-seat saddle is designed with springed seat to render maximum comfort and relaxing ride position.
Looks and style of the Royal Enfield Classic 350cc
The number plate, logo and the bike colors reflect post war looks. The design was tweaked neatly to result in a Classic 350cc while retaining the Enfield legacy of WWII models.
That round headlamp casing still, the analog valves, the explicit steel springs and the retro-looking fenders especially of the back tyre all give an impression that it is to show the style of those days to the modern day bikers. So is the case with even the number plate, saddle, mudguards, spoked wheels, fuel tank, exhaust and the headlamp casing; definitely demanding second glance to say the least.
Engine of Royal Enfield Classic 350cc
The bike runs on a powerful 346cc engine from Thunderbird Twinspark, and it generates a torque of 19.8 Bhp of maximum power at 5250 revs giving 28 Nm of torque. We will talk about UCE or the Unit Construction Engine in detail. However, there is not much of a difference between Royal Enfield Classic 500 and Classic 350cc other than the engine capacity.
UCE: The Royal Enfield Classic engine comes with clutch and the gearbox which are integrated into crank case and they are situated outside. The UCE or the Unit Construction Engine reduces transmission losses and are absolutely hassle free when it comes to maintenance.
Thankfully, Royal Enfield has given its Classic models some cool and contemporary features including the electric start as well as the 280mm disc brakes (for Classic 350cc the disc brakes are in the front). It has also ditched the carburetor fuel injection and voted for modern electronic fuel injection system; the EFI is integrated to the 5-speed gearbox. The EFI as in any 4-stroke bike ensures improved air-fuel mixture combustion, and smoother start with better power delivery over a range of terrains; and as will be the emissions would be a lot environment friendly.
Royal Enfield Classic 350cc comes in colors of red, black and silver and comes under 100,000 price in INR. Its Ex-showroom Delhi price comes to Rs. 99,000.00 (worth a Royal Enfield Classic).
The Classic 350cc from the Royal Enfield stable is going to give the Yamahas and the Ninjas a run for their money; looks like.

Only gays want to ride rough,loud and slow vibrating bull-like machine, guzzling petrol like c u m. this is what all Enfield riders are. I can defeat any bull s**t rider with even splender.
rushing to ride my bulled.
If yes can it be done at home??
Surprisingly I got a call from RE showroom saying CL 350 is ready for delivery. Finally my beast is getting delivered. My waiting period was just 6 months 5 days. I am happy to join RE family.
Will continue to post my experience...
Thanks
Deepak
which wz booked n ready deliver
1. Reduce exposure of your best to rain.
2. Daily clean the parts which you feel they get rust.
3. Also there are rust proof spray which are available in Auto mobiles shops apply them to the place of rust.
East or West Classic is the best....
It depends on your requirement. If you are not concern about mileage and concern about power go for 500c else 350. Other than speed and color there is no difference...

After reading hell lot of reviews I have decided to go for CL 350. I have booked on 09- March 2013 and waiting period is 12 -14 months. I am big fan of RE from my childhood. Its my dream bike. Since I daily travel to my office 70 KM. I am bit concern about mileage of CL 350. Some people says its 30 -35 and some says its 35 - 40 and some says it depends on the initial drive how I drive with-in 500 Km and 2000 Km. Some people says its 42-45. Can you people tell me the correct about mileage. After taking the delivery how I need to use the bike for long term fuel efficiency. And also I am concern about the vibration which is caused while exceeding the speed of 70 Km.
Thanks
Deepak

Maintaince cost ??..down the line 1 yr or something
I am so confused about which bike to buy, the r15 2.0 or the classic 350. Every person i ask says you cant compare a bullet to a sports bike its got it's own class.
My height is 6'3 heavy built . I'm still in college so mileage also plays an important factor . Which will be a better bike to buy based on looks comfort mileage maintenance problem free and also to fit my long legs.
ThanQ.
well i would love a response from already owners of bike.
p.s. i have booked a bike for myself so want to get complete details of it so that i don't repent later.

i bought this bike in April.
have reached 6000 Kms till now. initially there was problem with battery and starter.
but after 2nd servicing it is working great. i am getting mileage of 42-45 Kmpl in traffic like pune city. whereas it gives good riding experience on bad roads too. top speed 110 Km/hr
i recommend RE-CL350 than any other indian bike.
And if you are looking for mileage as a factor, go for 350
u don't get a fuel lock on it. petrol automatically gets in the cumbustion chamber
and please suggest one should buy 350 or 500 what we should look for?
After reading all these comments ....I could sense some of us already owns this bull...can any one shower thier inputs on the problems in classic 350...
Oil leakage/vibrations/silencer thump/any damn problem faced by the pride owners??
Maintaince cost ??..down the line 1 yr or something
Well I have already booked this beast 6 months back ...and I should be gettin% it delivered on 1st Sep....anything good or bad abt cl350 is not going to change my mind ...but definately it help me to recognize any problem related to it
Now
Thanks do revert bak with ur opinions...

And as far as engine part is concerned, there is no difference between the two. Both may make different sound due to the difference in their silencers.
I have purchased the bike recently and its mileage is 41.1 at the start. However, the mileage improves after 1st and 2nd servicing and it should be upto 45 kmpl. The more I drive the bike the more I love it. Recently I changed its silencer to one provided by the company if purchased. I goes slightly upwards and bend at the end. It looks awesome and the engine sound is amazing. So overall, I loved the bike. However, I strongly feel that I should also keep my Yamaha FZ and should not sell it coz If you drive bullet on a daily basis, you will surely need a change for a day or two and then you can start enjoying Bullet again... :-)
Really am telling you all Two wheeler will give us a back pain, Bike with GRS suspension may be give us a back pain after 1year or alter. But only Bullet Classic will be smooth forever but not other Bullets.
I had test rode on all RE bullets yesterday. By GOD JESUS grace , there was a very bad street road near to the show room as likes as my street road condition. I done test rode on it, Really am telling you I had big hit in back bone by CBZ(without GRS), Had a Hit in Back by Bullet Electra and Thunderbird too , both of it' s having GRS( but little bit less hit compare to CBZ). Finally I rode Classic. Really Awesome man. We wont find bad roads feeling in it. There is no hit in Back, Spring in Seat itself save our back bone greatly.
previously I had no idea about bullet, I thought due to its heavy weight handling ,City ride will be critical for it. But after Rode, there is Damn smooth and handling wise being very easy.
Both of me and my Brother rode Classic, Thunder Bird and Electa , Really we coludn't find Bad road feeling when we rode Classic. But in Both TB and Electa make feels a Bad Road condition. So both of us planned to buy Classic.
I had test rode in most of all Bikes.
Persons who are all planned to buy Bike for above 70K+, surely they are go with below options only:-
1) Bike should be Good in looks
2) It should be have smooth Ride
3) It should be have Good qualities
4) It should be Comfortable
5) It should be Good for both Youth looks and Family usage.
6) It should be Good in Mileage( atleast 40 to 55kmpl).
7) Good Pickup and Good Breaking Conditions( disk Break)
8) It should be with us for atleast 3+ or more years without giving any issue
9) Good for Long Drive
10) Never get back pain and it should be so smooth in any road conditions
11) Handling wise should be Good
12) Good Light at night Riding
You can get many above things from some of company Bikes but you can get all the above things from only Royal Enfield classic Bike only( Especially for Back pain,comfort,Mileage(depend upon ride) and Comfort)
Important:- Who are all having little back pain or who are all want never get back pain by Riding bike. I am strongly advicing to those persons never go for any other bikes, please go only for Royal Enfield Classic 350cc or 500cc. This will help you to ignore getting Advice from Doctor as dont Ride Two wheelers.
Back pain is not a real pain, real pain will occurs come when Doctor advice us to ignore Two wheeler.
My Experience:- Instead of getting suggestion from others, you should go for test Ride( especially in Bad Roads) before you buy. otherwise you will feel more and need to meet big loss by it.
Any Bike you can Ride in your Life for short and have a fun in it but only bike you can ride forever and help us to continue fun forever in our life( after Retired age also without any pain I believe).
Many of you who are all read it, may thing why this person writing about RE classic here, this is Just I want to share my experience to save some of them who are all seeking help about Good bike as like as me and I believe it will help many peoples.
I am booked a Classic 350. Any one can give the positive and negative or this C350.

Soon I am getting Classic 350, but after finding below review comments from Mr. Jerry Gladstan below given link, could not understand what to do? shall I go it or not.
Jerry Gladstan says:
I got this bike the so called Classic 350, IT WAS my dream bike, i waited for 9 months to get this bike because of itzz unavailability here in chennai. After 80kmph this bike it starts vibrating like hell. As if its going to burst i was totally disappointed, I went to the service station, they say that the twinspark engine is a failure in royal enfield, now i m selling my dead bullet :(
and you eat their bulls shit..
I would recomend u to go for classic 350cc...
topic over..
just go get it..
why? classic 350 cc has the best engine and looks ... i have got the black beast with in a week from the day i ordered... well had to pay 15,000 more..(black in black) but the money is worth... i am owner of new electra 5s but its a waste bike... electra sounds like shit... go for classic
I have old right gear electra and it still gives better riding experience than the new classic
I had a test ride for both Thunderbird and Classic 350.
I am confused now which one to take and please give me your valuable suggestions.
I feel Classic 350 has more driving comfort when compared with TBTS. While taking a deep turn and handling wise.
Please suggest.
Raju
Today i had a test ride of RE Thunderbird, Classic 350 and Electra. I am finally planning to take Classic 350. It is very good and came to know that it is giving above 35kmpl in city roads. The driving comfort is very good and i am 6feet height. Can anyone please tell me does it suit for tall people?
though i have ride both of them
but the handling of classic 350 is a bit dodgy than thunder bird
pls enlighten me on this
Nrj:
Thanks you make me burst into laugh first time ever i have laughed like this you are too good keeeeeeeeep it up
Happy reading
Arindam
u dont belong to BULLET family. do u? and i think u need some
common sense and also other six senses before u speak. so
please shut ur damn mouth and drink milk.
More over the performance is also the same...
I took a test ride for Classic 350 yesterday.
I'm just 5'6" tall. What I felt was classic series are meant for people shorter than 6'.
Since u r 6'1", hope Thunder Bird might suit u better than Classic series...
Please suggest. SHoudl I go for Thunderbird Twin SPark or Classic 350.
Performance wise i heard both are almost the same..
I am 6.1 feet tall and kinda heavy personality.. I badly want classic 350 but am afraid if it will go with my looks. Please suggest..
Regards
Ravi

dealer in Himachal Pradesh. I wanted to check its mileage right
at the begining. At the end I came to know that its mileage is
around 35 kms per one litre of petrol. It is less than what I have
expected and what company claims. It could also be that since it is
new bike and number two I ride it both in hills and plains of
Himachal. I was told by someone that after the services are done
the engine gets set and mileage also gets better. I will post the
comment again after some services to see if there is any
improvement in its mileage.
I know u hav loads of brain to comment, try to use it as well.
Cheers Austine Fernandes
let me know if you liked my coment on this blog..
why????????
can anyting b done abt this?

tachnically both Bulls are same, The main difference is looks and also Rear wheel tyre which is wider in classic 350. also Head lamp is of 55/60W.
Its your choice.
I have booked classic 350 - Red Bull
Thanks for ur reply. I'm also planning to book classic 350 -red but it will take min 6 month time to delivery. What about u???
Im planning a trip from India to Denmark (Europe) on a Royal Enfield Classic 350. The trip will be through the himmalayas and along the Silk road.
What bike would you reconment? The 350 or the 500...
And is it even possible to drive this far on a new bike? its aprox 16.000 km = 10.000 miles...
All the best.
The new Royal Enfield Classic 350 is the name. UCE is the type of engine which is used in Classic 350. This is a unique engine which requires less maintenance and gives good mileage.
Also all features like break on right side, electric start etc are there in this new bike. you are right that RE is going to stop new production of old bikes due to Environment norms.
I am also awaiting my 350 which i had booked in Jan last in Bangalore.
I m a new user to royal en field. I m planning to buy an classic 350, here everyone are speaking bout the EFI can any one tel me wht does tht mean????? is it really necessary as classic 500? so plz respond to this? hope u guys help me out.

Classic 350 doesn't have EFI. EFI is only there in Classic 500.
its BS29 / UCAL model of corburator is used in classic 350 as it is used in thunderbird
