What’s New?
The Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 gets many changes over the Classic 350. The major and the most noticeable change is the new set of handlebars, an ape-style unit. The bike also gets a new exhaust, a floating seat, tubeless spoke wheels and white-walled tyres which really elevate the classic appeal of the motorcycle. The Goan Classic 350 gets a 16-inch rear tyre as compared to the 18-inch on the Classic which adds to the bobber stance.The rear wheel travel has also increased when compared to the Classic 350 which is now 105mm (90mm on the Classic 350). The seat height has been reduced to 750mm, while the kerb weight has gone up to 197kg.
What’s Unchanged?
The bike remains mechanically unchanged and is continued to be powered by a 349cc single-cylinder air & oil-cooled engine which makes 20PS at 6,100rpm and 27Nm at 4,000rpm, and is paired to a 5-speed gearbox. The bike is constructed on a double-cradle chassis and is equipped with a telescopic fork and dual shock absorbers. The brakes consist of a 300mm disc at the front and a 270mm disc at the rear mounted on 19-inch front and 16-inch rear tubeless spoke wheels. The ground clearance of the Goan Classic 350 is 170mm, seat height is 750mm, and the kerb weight has increased to 197kg. The fuel tank capacity remains unchanged at 13 litres.

Price and Competitors
Royal Enfield has not yet disclosed the price of the Goan Classic 350 but we think it will command a premium over the Classic 350 and will be priced around Rs 2.3 lakh (ex-showroom). The official prices will be announced on the 23rd of November. When launched, it will go against the likes of Jawa 42 Bobber and the Perak.

- My review of jawa 42 bobberThe looks of the bike is absolutely fenomenal the bike is extremely unique because no brand offers a proper bobber bike for such affordable price only few bobber bikes are available in india for ex indian bobber or triumph bonnevile bobber and this jawa 42 bobber this bike is almost amazing to ride and it brings pure joy and fun fully value for money. Extremely good. i have ridden many types of bikes from many different brands but this is absolutely beautiful to ride, the performance is absolutely good although i have few minor issues like heating issue. oh man please i have special request to jawa that please do something about heating issue, the bike heats so much it is unbelievable, also sometimes just sometimes the front brakes make wierd noises and also i have another small issue which is rear brakes. rear brakes are very weak. i will always recommend to use front brakes because rear brakes are very weak of this bike so be careful with brakes, otherwise besides these minor issues the bike is absolutely perfect to ride and beautiful. I would definitely recommend this bike, why because this is bike that is only one and only in its segment, no brand i repeat no brand makes or offer affordable proper bobber motorcycle, some brand try to replicate like royal enfield but this outclass classic 350 very easily, the price is extremely affordable for such a bike.Read More
- Its a Real CruiserGreat bike to ride, comfortable cruiser, feel safe, awesome colour combination, balance is perfect, sitting is most comfortable, very nice for long travel and riding on hills, super sturdy glamorous bike to fall in love with it, mileage is also very good considering its 350 cc engine and weight, must buy.Read More
- Good for speed and stylishI chose Jawa Perak 334 mainly because iska look mujhe bahut unique laga single seat bobber style sab bikes se alag feel deta hai engine bhi powerful hai aur road par strong dikhti hai mujhe kuch hatke chahiye tha jo har kisi ke paas na ho isliye ye bike choose ki. Ride experience ab tak kaafi smooth raha hai bike highway par stable feel deti hai aur aceleration bhi strong hai thoda heavy hai lekin control achha mil jata hai long rides ke liye comfortable hai bas city traffic me kabhi-kabhi thoda heavy lagta hai overall ride enjoyable hai. Haan, main recommend karunga lekin un logon ke liye jo style aur performance dono chahte hain Agar aapko unique design aur powerful engine pasand hai to ye bike best hai. Lekin jo log daily traffic ke liye easy bike chahte hain unke liye thodi heavy lag sakti hai.Read More
