Best in looks and performance
Overall looks and performance seems to be commending. I have ridden this bike for about 100 km. Not sure about the mileage being delivered currently because I would prefer considering it post 1st service. Seating is comfortable for rider and pilion would feel bit of stiffness (But shocks can be adjusted accordingly). Maintenance is good in the range of 350cc. Further I am hoping to get the better after sales services.

Been riding the Classic 350
Been riding the Classic 350 (new model) for a while now. Super comfortable for both city and highway rides. The classic look is what really drew me in — it has that timeless feel. Performance is smooth and refined, not meant for racing, but perfect for cruising. Mileage is decent for a 350cc, and maintenance has been easy on the pocket so far. Overall, a solid bike if you’re into relaxed, stylish rides.

Great bike for all
I recently bought the Royal Enfield Classic 350, and it’s my first big bike. The riding position is very comfortable, and I feel confident while riding. It looks really cool and classic, and many people notice it on the road. The engine is smooth and powerful, but not too fast for a beginner. It’s a bit heavy at first, but I got used to it after a few days. I’ve done a few short rides and the experience has been great so far. Service is available nearby and they were helpful. Overall, I’m happy with the bike as a beginner.
