But after owning for only 4 months from new what price does the dealer offer in part exchange.
I also have a couple of tips from subscribers and more of your wonderful photographs

I'd never sell my classic. Bloody love it! Done nearly 7000 miles in just over a year.
Thanks for commenting.

Quite a strong Offer Keith to be honest. Especially if you consider the vat on it loses you 20% straight away. I was thinking more like £2500. Which is why I'm keeping mine whatever else happens.

I liked your Bon Jovi "Linin' On A Prayer" reference with Tommy from New Jersey. I am in USA also. Going miss Royal Enfield Classic 350 videos. There is just something magical about the Classic 350.
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate!
I was going to ask how Gina was getting on in the diner😉🇺🇸
Great video 👍
Thanks Bionic.
Hope to see you soon.👍
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 is really popular with people of a certain age. I found your channel because of it, keep an eye on your subscriptions when the new bike arrives 🤔
Thank you for your comments.
Ride safe👍
A work colleague of mine just paid £1000 for a new pair of trainers!
I absolutely love my 350 classic. It's the best bike in the world for whizzing around the Dales.
Never going to sell mine.
Wow. Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate.
Interceptor I reckon , thanks for showing my pic . Ride safe
A pleasure, thanks for commenting
Ride safe Mate.👍
I had the very same bike in that colour, sold for 3k after 9 months and the had same mileage as yours. The RE looks amazing, fantastic on B and unnamed roads, sounded great, but 20BHP was just not enough, now have an 865 EFI Bonnie…no regrets.
That's interesting.
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate👍
I think you have done really well with that PX offer for your bike 🙂. Especially when you can buy a brand new one for £3799! A dealer near to me have a 1400 mile one for £3095 !! But he might have given you a good price as he didn't want to miss a customer on whatever he was selling you 🤔. Bsa,W800,or triumph speed twin are my guesses🙂
Thanks for commenting.

Great video keep them coming, Super Meteor 650 paid £7300 eleven months ago part exchange price now is £4700 ouch! that's 35% gone then.
You know, as you've seen Ive "lost" 25% in 4 months.
No one to blame but me, that's my choice but it's more palatable due to the sub 4k starting price.
Thanks for commenting Mate.
Ride safe👍
Morning I reckon it’s a shotgun and that is one I’ve got in mind can’t wait till Sunday comes along to see take care and enjoy your new ride or a meteor but I think shotgun bye for now
Thanks for your thoughts.
Ride safe Mate 👍
I think that's a good offer, bearing in mind another CZcams channel had to say earlier this year! used 500 Bullet, like Old School ADV Rider
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
Cant wait till the reveal 🤔 knew you would have another though know you to well 😉🤣🤣
Indeed you do.👍
That's the great the thing about the Classic 500. Not only are they better bikes than the new 350's but they are holding their value. Mine is a '21 plate and is now worth more than it was when brand new!
That's interesting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
That's a strong offer mate
I agree, thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
As you said it's like the big brother to the 350 Classic , I'm going to say BSA Gold Star 650 and I think the dealers are very eager to shift them , hence the good trade in value . They are cheap and BSA may have fixed the cutting out problem.
But I hope you get a Bonnie or a Kawasaki W800 .
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate👍
Hi Keith, I agree, some times you just fancy a change, something a bit different. I'm guessing a RE Interceptor, I've got one and really like it. I'd love a little 350 Classic aswell but just can't justify spending the money on a second bike at the minute. Whatever you get, I hope you enjoy it mate. Garry
Thanks for commenting Garry.
Ride safe Mate👍
i agree about the lack of a bit more grunt, i have a meteor and love it but if it had the same grunt as my honda cb500x i would love it even more and cut down on garage space as i would't need anything else.
Thanks for commenting Stephen, sounds like you've got all the bases covered with them two. Wonderful combo, my solution, my reveal is tomorrow.
Ride safe Mate 👍
Morning Keith, just subscribed. I bet you were right chuffed about the part ex price. I too have heard many horror stories, like being offered about two and a half for a 5 month old Classic 350, so £3k is fair enough, the dealer needs to make a bit too. Your opening sequence at Cheddleton station, my brother and sister in law live there, in fact they were married at the station, with the wedding breakfast being on the train. My wife and family are Stokies 😉. My guess about the upcoming new bike reveal, is a BSA Goldstar (want to say Interceptor, but it’s not close enough to the style of the Classic 350 😉)
Hi Ian, I've been watching your channel for a while.
You are not too far from me.
They live in the station building? Wonderful.
I thought the p/x price was good, maybe they were desperate to get rid of the bike that they were selling, maybe I'll pay the price down the line?
But great to hear from you.
Reveal is tomorrow.
I'm feeling a bit guilty that I'm milking it a bit now.
But some of the comments and suggestions, almost banter are great to get.
I'm sure you know what I'm on about.
Ride safe Mate👍
@@shottostravelswe are now based on the North Lancashire/Cumbria border, but visit my family in Nantwich, and my wife’s in the Potteries. Bro and Sister in law, live in one of the row of cottages opposite “The Boat”pub. Thanks for watching my content, appreciated.
@ianhughesroyalenfield Oh I didn't realize, I thought you were nearer to me than that.
It does explain some of your ride outs though, lovely part of the world! I rekon you get your share of the wet stuff though.👍
Keith that's a good px price i had a halcyon 350 classic last year i paid £3900 second hand 400miles on the clock i was given £2500 in a px for a honda scooter ,happy with the scooter ps bike sure are ok ,use mcn compere myself, insurance companies will always say is it standard 👍 enjoy its a 500 buillet.
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
Sounds like you got a very good price on the 350 Keith, I’ve heard of people being offered just over £2k , at a guess a Triumph, all the best buddy 👍
Thanks Mike.
I don't think it's too shabby is it.
Ride safe Mate👍
Evening Mike 😎☀️🇫🇷
@@PeterHolland-mu7yn evening Peter 👍😁
That disc on the speedo trick worked for me too . I found it on the old Enfield forum.
Thanks Graham, a good tip then.
Ride safe👍
@@shottostravels I have no idea why it worked but it did!
@@grahamcooper-dl5vy excellent. Doesn't really add up but you can't fault the end result.👍
Hi new subsciber here....'goldwing'😉😉😉
Thankyou.
How did you know?
Get a lottery ticket while you're on a roll!
Ride safe Mate 👍
seems not too bad a deal....I bought a classic signals last September after last 3 bikes being harleys......I love the enfield and will be keeping it
Thanks for commenting.
I do like the Signals version.
Ride safe Mate👍
I kept my Classic 350 in Bronze and Chrome, but just recently bought a 2019 Indian Scout Bobber abs in Stryker Red, just for the same reason.....I'm American and wanted something more powerful for the big highways we have.
Thanks for commenting Jim
I would of kept my Classic 350 but to be honest cant afford 2 bikes at the moment.
Ride safe Mate👍
Enjoy your new bike.
My wife would only let me have one bike...... I now have 6. Three Triumphs, two Enfields and a BMW
I no longer have a wife
I tend to ride the Meteor 350 the most (bought for £2k last year)
Thanks for commenting
Ride safe Mate 👍
Sounds like a good tradeoff😂
Honestly, I still do have my 75 horsepower machine in my garage. But I ride the RE most of the time. II owned a couple of really overpowered machines aswell in my life . But nothing can be compared to the Classic or maybe new Bullet - range from RE. The bike that comes closest to vintage machines, without the (heavy...) flaws from back in the day. Probably this is the last one of real classic machines ever - so I'll keep mine without any doubt. Hope You'll find the machine that You enjoy more , Ride safe,
Thankyou, absolutely spot on.
Super little bikes and I am certain that I will get another one day.👍
Hi Kieth
Loved the start at Cheddleton railway we were there the other week on our bikes lovely place I hadn’t been for years 😊😊
I had the classic 500 wish I hadn’t sold it I have the bsa Gold star 🌟 lovely bike 😊😊
£900 loss is about right for a dealer and its expensive changing 😊😊
Who’s the dealer Keith Potteries Motorcycles ?
You’ve bought an interceptor haven’t you ?? Or a classic 500
Great one 😊😊
All the best Phil Green
Hi Phil.
I hadn't been down there for a while.
Thanks for your thoughts regarding the new bike.
All will be revealed tomorrow.
( I'm sorry, I ain't half dragging it out aren't I?)😉
Ride safe Mate.👍
You got it spot on there Keith, low cloud on Morridge, it feels like it's murky more than it's clear! Plainly not a Transalp then - but it wunner change my mind! 😅
Interceptor?
Yes Mate, I reckon that's just up the road from you
It's a beautiful area though, you are lucky.
Ride safe bud👍
My Bullet 500 Classic is almost 17 years old . I get spares from Hitchcock’s and EBay ( India ) . Cheers .
Thanks for commenting.
Wonderful. Ride safe Mate 👍
Hi, just discovered your channel, so a few videos to look back at. I think that p/ex price was very fair, I would have expected it to be around 2500 allowing for a dealer to resell and achieve their mark up. Perhaps your technique is better than mine…..I think maybe your next bike will be one of the Royal Enfield 650’s either the Super Meteor or Shotgun. Will keep watching for sure. Maybe see you out on the road sometime, I’m not far away. (Live near Eccleshall, Stafford). Regards Martyn.
Hi Martyn, not far from me then. I used to work at Swynnerton.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Ride safe Mate 👍
That bronze RE is gorgeous. I can't decide which one i like better this or the baby blue one or whatever that colour is called.
My first bike was a 350cc honda back in the 80s.
For these country lanes a 350cc is enough.
I too would like a bit more power for the odd foray on the dual carriageway or motorway, and i would want a tacho. So I would pick an Interceptor.
$3k is a good trade price.
I would probably have kept the Classic. It's sooo cute. ... 😢
Thanks for your thoughts.
I agree, of I could of afforded to keep bothI would of done but unfortunately just at the moment I can't.
Great little bike for the lanes.
Ride safe Mate👍
It's amazing to think that the LMS 4F you showed at the beginning of the video cost £4217 when new in 1927. There's not many bikes can be got for that now although a Scram 411 is still less and that's my guess for your new bike.
Thanks for that, I had nothing idea what I was lookimg at.
I need it is. I guess that's 100 years of inflation then, right there in a nutshell.
Ride safe Mate and thanks for commenting.👍
I reckon you should keep it got space in ya garage 😊 you will miss it once it's gone.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Ride safe Mate 👍
I thought you’d get about £2000 that’s a great trade in price 👍 I’m with you on the power I sold my Hunter 350 private for £2900 with 600 miles on it
Thank you Garry, I thought so too.
At last, someone who agrees!
Can I ask what you replaced it with.
Ride safe Mate 👍
@@shottostravels Nothing yet I’m working and travelling in a motorhome this year I will buy another bike when I stop travelling I really miss riding, watching your videos and others helps a little.
That's wonderful, That's what it's all about.
Enjoy your time Mate.
And to think when you are done with the Van you have the bike to look forward to.
Absolutely marvelous.👍
Very informative as ever, thank you. As per your recommendation for the best all round upgrade for the Classic 350. Can you confirm that you have both the DNA Filter & Cover fitted (not just the filter)?
Thanks.
I have used it both ways
The filter on its own with the standard cover did offer a bit more performance without the added induction roar
With the cover fitted it was a bit noisier and I didn't notice too much increase in performance.
But overall , a worthwhile upgrade I think 👍
Try just the filter first🤔
I have just bought a 350 Bullet and pick it up tomorrow, cant wait . 2hile I was at the dealer a guy came in to look at the new Himalayan and get a price for his Halcyon green classic which had about 1000 miles and was a year old with a couple of mods with a touring seat and screen. I heard they offered him £2200.
By the way i would be interested in the heel and toe shifter and filter parts possibly the rack too ( if it will fit the bullet?) Please let me know if that is a possibility and Ill come and get them from you 👍
Thanks for commenting.
I still have the stuff I took off.
Drop me an email and I'll let you know what I have.

Ay up Kieth - I reckon you've gone for a Goldie. Whatever it is, enjoy!!
Thanks for your thoughts.
Ride safe Mate 👍
I've heard alot of people who got rid of the 350 enfield have regretted it and had to buy another one....????
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
That's actually quite true, I've seen a few on CZcams 😂
@@kevindarkstar And thats a possibility too!
Who knows.🤔
I bought the Signal in September last, love it.
I think you're going for a Triumph Bonneville, possibly from the guys at Staffordshire Triumph. The PX valuation doesn't seem too bad as I saw a Classic(23 reg) in a dealers for £3K with loads of accessories. If they are asking £3K then what did they pay?.
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate👍
Fair deal I'd say.
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe👍
That is a good part exchange price, you will miss the Classic 350. I have had quite a few bikes in the past, sports bikes, touring bikes etc, I don't miss the extra power that these bikes had, what with reduced speed limits and speed cameras. Its a shame you cant keep the classic.
Thanks David.
I can't disagree with anything you have said.
I will have another.👍
Ride safe Mate 👍
Morning bud, l don't think £3000 is a bad price they will put it out at about £3600. looking forward to the reveal, Goldstar maybe, take care bud 👍
Thanks Mark.
Ride safe👍
Classic 500 is my guess. Last year I paid £62 for fully comp on mine!!
Wow, that's a good price.
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
I’ve a few W800s floating around 2nd hand
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
My friend's 2-year-old one with 2,500m miles on, and still looked like it came out of the showroom, fetched £1,500. Lovely bike, but 20 donkeys out of a 350? My Yamaha MT-03 (ok, different type of bike) develops 41 horses, and that's only321 cc....
Thanks for your thoughts.
Ride safe Mate👍
The MT 03 is is brilliant bike, I downsized from a 900 Triumph after it became too heavy to push around. I still appreciate a bit of waft and the MT provides this at 42 bhp and it also corners much quicker than the Triumph. The only bike I'd swap it for is an R 3.
I think that is a fair price indeed, I purchased my new Classic 350 in March for £3699 OTR which was a bargain....I wonder if it is an Interceptor ? Looking forward to finding out what you have bought 👍
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate👍
Got my Bullet on 17th of May. 1280 miles as of today.
Great bike, bet you are loving it.
Send me a pic?
Ride safe Mate👍
I think previous folks comments have about covered it…. T100 or a W800? Whatever you’ve gone for, I’m sure you’ve got what you want, and that’s the important thing…
Thanks for commenting Steve, ride safe 👍
Perhaps one of the various RE 650's?
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate👍
I would have pushed for 3400 if it was a trade in.. My guess would be either the Triumph 400 or a Shotgun 650. Regardless, a new bike is exciting! I don't work on a dock, I drive a Lori. Lol
Thanks Mate, I was only playing, you know that!😉
I think at 3400 they would have shown me the door.
👍
@shottostravels ...with your new bike! 🙂
I can see sellers remorse coming on.
And maybe not for the first time!
Ride safe Mate 👍
From your "Big Brother comment, I'ld say a Used Classic 500 is in the works, However, I would still keep the Classic 350, You will miss it I am sure. But whatever you do, stay safe Keith!
Thanks Mate.
You too, ride safe👍🇺🇸
Your bike cost around £3350 plus vat as with any purchase you lose the vat straight away which would be around £660 so in reality probably not as bad as you think. 😢
Thanks for commenting
Ride safe Mate 👍
And I think 3,000 is a very fair offer.
Me too.Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
Hello Keith 👋🏻 3k it very good . i wonder who the dealer is 🤔
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
Sounds like a good deal to me. I'm thinking an Interceptor or a W800 or even a Bonneville?
Thanks Steven.
I've just got it today and been out doing a vlog for Sunday. Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
It may have lost 25% of the new price but 20% of that was the VAT. It sounds a reasonable offer to me.
I agree, thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
Thanks for commenting
Ride safe Mate 👍
You mention Insurance for SDP but what about if you were to have a collision while filming a vedio for CZcams is this not for reward? Just a thought!
I never thought of that.
The rewards are miniscule at my level but technically I guess you are correct.
A penny is a reward.
Thanks,I need to look into it.
I think you will regret selling the little Enfield. Get the new bike but hang on to the Classic if you can 😀👍.
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate 👍
Trouble is you lose a £1000 I would prefer to buy another bike. I brought a pan for 1400 with 12 months mot and 38000 miles already done a 1000 mile tour to North Yorks from Cornwall..so have my pan for long trips and classic 350 and Himalayan oh my inshurance for all three is about £300 all individually inshured fully comp.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Ride safe Mate👍
The pursuit of more power😂 lets see what you get and i would lay bets youll be making vids on same roads at same speeds.... just toured france on my himi and wife on her meteor...did motorways a roads and back roads... not once did we need or want more power... its the mindset not the engine
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate👍
Why dont you fit a Kent cam and save yourself a fortune and boost your power and value to the bike?
Thanks for commenting.
Ride safe Mate👍
My brother just bought a classic on a 72 plate, with 2k miles with some accessories, in mint condition for £2200 from a dealer.... They don't hold value.
No, because of the relatively low starting price. Great bikes though especially at that money!
Ride safe Mate👍
Keeping us in suspenders til weekend Keith? 😁 Interceptor 650
I'd like to see you in Suspenders! 🤔
👍
@@shottostravels you really wouldn't🤮 😂
Used Guzzi V7😉
Thanks, I have it now. Have a look at my ' unveiling' vid, to see if you're right!
Thanks for commenting, Ride safe Mate👍
You've obviously traded it for a Chrome Red Classic 350; everybody knows that red is faster. The only bike faster than that is a Ducati Diavel in black with Dodge racing stripes (the stripes add @ 300 BHP by themselves, but if you throw on a fart muffler, that goes all the way to 302). All kidding aside, the only "classic" motorcycle I can think of that would be worth trading the 350 for (and only if you absolutely HAD to, rather than keeping it as a stablemate!!!!) would be the Moto Guzzi V7. What the heck else could be comparable in character?
Wonderful, thanks for your comments. 300 hp on a bike, can you imagine.
All will be revealed soon, ride safe Mate👍
It just shows, best to buy a second hand one. £1000 in four months!! Some say you've got a good deal. Just mentioned your so called good deal to my wife cooking in the kitchen, she just dropped the mixing bowl on the floor in horror and said yours in the garage isn't worth much then!!😅
Keith, ask your wife if you're getting a good deal after four months!! 🤭
Hope your replacing it with another Enfield, otherwise your channel will suffer!! 😅
Thanks for commenting.
It's always best to buy a second hand one, whatever it is.
