I had a blast riding with you Miles! Good luck on your journey moving forward!
Thank you again for giving me this amazing opportunity and supporting my work in that way☺️
Your motorcycle is wonderful.
Well done on choosing it. 👍
Hey Egor,I had the same problem on my 350 cutting out at random - they found it was the kill switch on the side stand so maybe check that
Hi Igor, Miles has written your 350 does 135 kmh on the speedo.But what about the 114 kmh speedlimiter ?As far as i know every 350 Meteor and Classic has this limitation.Have you been able to remove it?
Greetings from Germany 🙋
@@nedflanders4699 Hi there! I think Miles was able to get to 135 on a seriously downhill section of the Highway! :D
I'm unable to push it past 114 on a level road, it's slow and once you accept that you'll be cruising, it makes it easier for you. :)
Been riding for 54 years and my Classic 350 is my current daily rider. This is by far the best overall bike I have had. Traded my GS 310 on it and the build quality is hands down Honda quality. Had a W800 and the Classic 350 surpasses the riding experience of the W. Highly recommended!! Great video thanks!!
They look far better with the pillion seat removed. 👍👍🏍🏍
Two years with my classic.
Had a Kawasaki Vulcan VN900 custom cruiser .
The 350 is twice the bike.
Not quick but more soul and character than nearly any other bike currently on the market.
And the best retro out there.
Welcome to my home country Serbia! :) Enjoy your stay and hospitality. I had RE Classic 350 for some time, it was chrome red queen. :) I sold it unfortunately because I had no garage at the time and I wanted something a bit stronger and I could not afford two motorcycles. Man I miss that bike. I tested over 50 bikes and that 350 is still for me one of the best bikes I have riden, power aside, just the feel that bike gives you is something special, relaxing, stress eater, and like you said is fast enough I don't now how, the gearing is perfect, even better then om my current moto guzzi V7 classic. Even with my wife on it, and we are not light people :9 it goes 80-90km/h easily, like I was driving my self.
The red one Looks Beautiful. I am really enjoying Serbia so far ☺️
Chrome red is the best colour imo. They have beautiful opinions (Green is a close 2nd for me), but the chrome red just has a really authentic classic look about it
Thanks gents for a really enjoyable, laidback look at the classic 350. I’m limbering up to buy my first bike and trying to decide which one to go for has been beyond me until now. I’ve flirted with the Interceptor , the GT 650, the Super Meteor the Shotgun, the new Himalayan, the new baby triumph’s and even the MT O3 , but thanks to this video I think I have come full circle back to the Classic 350. I think it’s a simple and fun way of getting into Motorcycling without breaking the bank.
If available, look into still new last year models. In my area, 2023 Royal Enfields are $2000 off the original price, and they're still new.
The frame was designed for Royal Enfield by Harris Performance, who develop racing motorcycle frame and parts. So it goes where the rider points it.
That really Shows whatever can be Said about the bike the Frame is insane
My Classic sits alongside my Ducati Monster 937 in my garage. But despite loving it, the Monster hasn't turned a wheel since I got the Classic. Yesterday I explored the back roads and lanes of the Peak District National Park on my Classic. It's absolutely the perfect bike for days of exploration. I took a seat and camping stove and chilled out with a view over the Hope Valley having a coffee and 'pain au chocolat'. Only on a classic!!!
It could be described as slow AND charming! They are not mutually exclusive😊
I've got a Super Meteor 650, and I've been thinking about a Classic 350. My brother has one and is absolutely chuffed about it.
I've just bought the 350cc Meteor, it's great to ride and easy on the Miles per gallon I've done about 300 miles and only used half a tank of juice, throughly enjoy riding the bike , I've been riding a B M W K75c for 16 years and although it's a great bike I'm nearly 74 and it's getting a bit heavy getting it in and out of my gateway , where as the Meteor is lighter 😀 👍
Whiskey analogy spot on - greetings from Sydney - I have this exact bike and you summed it up really well
Greetings back to Sidney I lived there for a few months and worked at opra bar there ☺️
That’s cool - Opera bar is a great spot
@tomstockell9481 yes it’s great to visit to work there not so mutch, insane stress lots of jelling gettting tips taken away. And I got fired on Christmas Eve so they don’t have to pay me more over the holidays 😂
That’s no good ! 😢 sounds like Serbias a better place to live ! Keep up the good videos 👍
I actually live in Germany. Witch is also great to live but Australia is also a great place to be honest ☺️
Long-stroke engines are known for their low consumption.
Really nice and informative report.
Thank you very much!
And high torque
😢tofix your instrument problem, clean the excess grease from your relay contacts. They load them with grease for shipping. I had a similar problem with mine as well as cutting out but cleaning the relays resolved everything
Good job guys....that's my dream bike to begin with 🎉
I have a new ‘24 Bullet 350. Currently in the middle of a three week holiday in Canada 2,700 kms one way Saskatchewan to Southern Ontario. Bike a got 74 uk-mpg on windy days doing 102 kph on the prairies and 89 uk-mpg doing 95 kph through Northern Ontario. Have been able to get 103 uk-mpg riding around the Muskoka’s doing 80-90 kph.
Heading back home next week via the USA below Lake Superior.
Surprised at how well the suspension handles bumps while loaded with my luggage. Hasn’t used any oil and the chain maintained its tension to this point without needing adjustment. But probably will before I get back.
Overall happy with its performance so far, only add-on I did is the DNA intake.
Regarding the ntermitent instrument cluster blinking out, Royal Enfield uses a thick white lithium grease in all of the electrical connections, such as relays behind the side cover and the electrical plugs inside headlight bezel. I have watched other owners disconnect these plugs and carefully remove this grease with a fine pointed tool. Doing this, along with using contact cleaner. most often resolves your problems.
Great video lads. Thank you. A very concidered review.
I have a 2nd hand Himalayan 411 as my first proper bike since January. I love it. Cheap to run (around 85pmg uk) and easy to maintain.
Not quick of course, (i did manage 75pmh yesterday afternoon) but lovely to ride.
Safe travels.
like your channel bro, keep up! Cheers from brazil
Thank you for all the Support ☺️
Thankyou i have watched alot of videos on this bike and yours was so good and thanks for taking me for a great ride best part i have not left my lounge room cheers and stay safe...
A wonderful video. I like the idea of having a conversation with the owner - Igor. Enjoyed it. Thanks a lot. Really cool.
i have the bullet 500 trials and had a ride of 8200km to northcape and back a few weeks ago. For me, the 500 Trials is the best model of the Bullet familiy :)
Nice video and review.
That is soo cool that you have that Anazing machine. I never saw one in a dealership or somthing like that. And I would love to review one one day for the channel. Is that something you would be open too?☺️
@@FreeMilesMC i put mine to service next week and have to clean all that mud from norway,finnland, russia and sweden. Than we can meet if you want :) im near Bielefeld.
@@atlasofart das klingt gut bin eh erst in ein paar Tagen wieder in Deutschland. Du kannst mich unter meiner email Adresse erreichen damit das mit der Kommunikation gut funktioniert 👍🏼 freemilesmcbusiness@gmail.com
Great review, Miles! And thanks to Igor for providing his beautiful classic 350
The review was very interesting und really nice to watch! And I’m also impressed by that opening scene at 0:10 with the storm and the high quality of the audio, really that need to be mentioned :)
Awesome review guys !
The the little RE Classic 350
So much charm & personality.
It is extremely comfortable to test ride. But for my needs I would require liquid cooling and at least 50 hp. Other than that it’s a great bike. I wish RE would squeeze their 650 into that frame.
Thank you for the honest review. The 350 Classic has been on a short list of bikes worth considering.
The 350's are selling well here. Great bike for commuting and that cup of coffee and slice of pie on a Saturday adventure. Besides a 650 Interceptor, I have a 2011 Bullet 500, with Cozy sidecar... better suited for the distances I go. I use it for mostly solo camping trips...100-1400 miles. 😎
Great bike! I was deciding between Moto Guzzi and Royal Enfield. Both are charming and sounds beautiful. Picked 2011 bullet 500 as my first bike. I like her more and more.
GZ on 11k man!
I love the Classic 350. Have one for more than a year new. This bike is great but 195 kg is definitely NOT light 😉
Great Review! Do one with Pure sound 💐
Heujjj 11k subs. Yet again what a great series. Beautifull environment in some less "known" countries for motorcycle traveling. BTW I must say I respect you for getting so many miles in every day. This weekend I made 320km trip on my Xj600 and my bottom hurt... Well enough.
Happy to See you again here. Yes sometimes The Kilometers are tough 😂
Stunning looking bike Igor - looks like lots of

ps; sorry about the football last night….
I fitted a heal/toe shifter on my Classic 350 and find it suits the bike better than the original toe shifter.
It’s so cool to use ☺️
For Father's day, i went out on a mini trip from Mason City, IA to various southern parts of Wisconsin. Had a blast. Lots of curves, hills, and gravel roads. Even washed out and threw myself in a ditch. Damn good time. But i can't deny my frustrations going uphill or even on even roads with strong winds. Won't go past 49-52 mph in 4th or 5th gear. Even so, adore this motorcycle. Makes me wanna keep going.
Such a beautiful bike, an absolute legend 😍
I've been riding about 50 yrs and I'd still luv one of these. One of my favorites to look at for sure. My problem is I ride a lot and 3k maintenance intervals are way too frequent for me. If RE ever figures out hydraulic valve adjustment, I'd have one for sure, if only to ride about town. I luv the comfy passenger ergos for my wife, but I wouldn't feel safe riding on faster roads with this with her on it. People are too quick to anger these days. They'd probably run us over for going too slow.
The 3k 'service' is actually just an inspection that is about what I would do every 1k. Oil and valve checks are at 6k. You should check out Coastrider Scotland 10k owner review.
Absolutely gorgeous wee bike 👍
I have the classic 350 in Matt grey, can confirm it is always fun to ride. I've had big bikes (bandit 12) and smaller 125/250s. This 350 is the most fun and comfort I've had on a bike on any ride.
Recently added panniers and a windshield to do some touring. Will pull 72mph on the motorway but is happier at 65 which is enough to get you to where you're going but when you get there you're on a fun bike to explore
They are wonderful little bikes! I have been riding for 45 plus years, My new Classic 350 is a great addition to my VTX1800 and Goldwing! It handles great, Even a seasoned rider can appreciate the Classic simplicity. It makes you want to explore and see things you miss concentrating on more powerful bikes. I love mine and would recommend it to anyone looking for a modern vintage ride.
Get the performance cam, decat exhaust, performance air, and it becomes even more fun. Then, if you are really keen, you can add the Himalayan 410cc head.
This is such a beautiful bike. If you have a Date with your flame and you just come around with such RE, she must understand that you mean it serious with here. This bike tell a lot about Love and Passsion. Even i thing about to buy one and leave it in the Livingroom like a Chrismasstree to enjoy it every day :)
The Classic 350 is what made me finally do my test and get my license. Such a pretty little thing. Alas, I’m too tall and the Swedish importer is having a laugh with its pricing so I went with a Tracer 700. Still a pretty thing in all ways, I’d be tempted by a Scram 450.
Really appreciate that review Miles…. I’ve been riding the Classic 350 for 2years here in the states. Loving every minute….
Now looking to bump up a bit to the Interceptor 650…. Any advice on this is greatly appreciated!
Love the channel!
got this bike in green this spring - super happy rly nice bike? may be my favorite coming from KTMs BMW and japan bike, iam rly hapyy with this bike. its like moto nirvana. Changed tires Air filter & mirrors on mine
I bought a Meteor 3 weeks ago. It can be your first bike only if you ride in relatively empty roads or streets. In a big city with heavy traffic she is not agile, and with it´s almost 200 kilos you´ll have to exercise your patience a lot. Choose well, I intend to ride her mainly on the road, slowly but with some charm too.
Wait until you try other Bikes stuff like the turning Radius is unbeatable on the Meteor
@@FreeMilesMC Turning Radius? What´s that? 😀I wish I could install a resting place for both feet behind stroke/ rear break pedals. If I could I´d change it´s position. When I see a depression or salience on the road (there are SO MANY in Brazil, where I live) I like to separate my body from the seat and let the bike (not my spine) absorb the impact. It can be done, but takes a lot of effort. I´m not a Harley guy, for shure!
i got my almost year, i had before wr250r and dr650 , this is my fav so far ,
It’s definitly a great one
After having a 2012 Classic 500 I found the happy spot for cruising around was between 80-90 kph. If you are happy to ride at that speed you will love it as they are a great bike.These bikes are basically still a 1960s bike so it's to be expected.
The 350 reborn is a completely different machine. It will cruise at 100/110kmh without problems, no vibrations
Honda cb350 has a 15.2 ltr fuel tank capacity. It looks just a bit modern but in every way is the best bike in 250 segment. It also has a slipper clutch and bluetooth connectivity. The thing is it has one largest fuel tank rn. A true classic by honda.
Thanks, I really enjoyed the video. I've got an Interceptor, could I ask how you think the 350 compares, I'm thinking of getting one as a second bike but are they different enough
When doing a drive past most people I would guess would rather hear the engine exhaust note rather that background music.
429 lbs is heavy! I'd like to have one though. I'm 67 and have owned many bikes in the last 55 or so years and just bought a Honda XR 150L
When you come to belgium you can review my motorcycle, which will either be the meteor 350 or the Super Meteor
Thank you that sounds amazing, I already made a review about the 350 meteor sadly. But the super meteor is still missing from the Enfield lineup☺️
Kawasaki Estrella 250 check it out…classic. 150kg
Nice area, where was that?
I tried out the somewhat older Classic 500 a few years ago - the EFI variant with 27hp. It kinda felt like riding a tractor, both due to the ergonomics and the long-stroke engine and its sound. It was kinda fun but the engine was very unwilling to rev, which made overtaking an endeavour that really needed planning. What I really like about it is the old-school construction, with lots of metal and very little plastic. There were some other quirks, like dashboard lights so faint that for most of my test ride I thought there weren't any, and had to shift into neutral just by feeling. The bike felt most comfortable at 80kph, while at 100 the vibrations were just crazy. All in all it was a very "special" feeling. The new 350 seems to be somewhat different, would you say the engine revs a bit quicker now?
Did you Ride the Kick start Version i rode that bevor i had the Channel was just an amazing bike to Ride
@@FreeMilesMC yes, it had both a kick- and e-starter. ^^ The kickstart lever was offset 90° so you'd use it standing next to the bike, not sitting on it.
Avala mountain in Serbia, overlooking Belgrade.
You can buy a good BSA C-15 250 for much less than the RE 350. More hp and much lighter. I have 4 of them in both street bikes and dirt bike versions. My BSA C-15 250 goes 60 mph 2 up with throttle left over. Big enough for 2 people, reliable and dependable transportation. You won't lose money 💰 ever. Holds it's value. Great beginner bike.
I would love to Review a bike like that that Sounds insanly amazing espacialy the dirt bike version ☺️
@@FreeMilesMC l love my Triumph TR25W Enduro. Light enough for me and fast enough for me as well. I bought my whole collection of BSA C-15 250's and my BSA 441 Victor for the same price of a new RE 350. Love them all. My 250:s are easier to start than the 441. So l love them more.
@@FreeMilesMC l love my vintage British motorcycles.
@frankmarkovcijr5459 if you have a hole Collection it maybe would be intresting to make Video about all These amazing bike. Definitly feel free to reach out over the email Adresse in my videodiscriptopn. It would be greatly appreciated ☺️
My phone crashed so I can't read the rest of the comments.
Once you classic, you never go back ;-)
Could be 🫣
Not to worry, brother. A 650cc version is on the way.
The meteor should be a great choice
I also have a Video on that bike and at some Point will make a comparison☺️ czcams.com/video/sbVLxzrFTok/video.htmlsi=xnfVLEtWswG3I5Pl
Wenn du die RE mit einer 125ccm vergleichen würdest, wie würdest du das beschreiben? Ähnlich oder doch deutlich anders, besonders im Bezug auf PS und Nm.
Tatsächlich sind die beiden schwer zu vergleichen da man durch den größeren Motor ne andere Kraft Entfaltung hat und einfach mehr Drehmoment. Also die are fühlt sich schon nach richtig Motorrad an auf alle Fälle
Kawasaki Z650RS would be my first choice for a lower budget neo classic bike. Just 1000 - 1500€ more and at least twice the bike.
Actually one of my dreambikes i would love to buy a Z900rs one day as it fits my hight. I would love to Ride one for the Channel
@@FreeMilesMC Bei mobile gehen die Kawasaki Z 650 RS für 6000 - 7000 € weg. Ein erfüllbarer Traum.
@Hibbicon ich kann auf der z650 rs leider nicht gut sitzen hab die schonmal Probe gesessen außerdem 7000 ist schon ne Stange Geld. Und wen ich schon soviel Geld in die Hand nehmen muss dann lieber ein bischen mehr und dann die 900
How does it feel like to review a bike while standing near the stairs to Heaven? 😄
The bike has 17 hp, just how fast should it go?
21. i toped out at a 135 on the spedometer so probably real 127
The Bulletin 350 is even nicer and slightly cheaper.
German accent?
Bike needs crash bars.
Videos showing the presenter riding it does absolutely nothing to allow the viewer to have any idea of what it's like riding it. I rode it. OK in the city but not suitable for open highways. Period.
Definitely too slow. An asthmatic snail is faster.
It's horses for courses-- get a big bike..
