As enjoyable as the old Classic 500 is at a leisurely pace, the new Classic 350 is a huge step forward in terms of comfort, dynamics, refinement and reliability.

I’m a new motorcycle rider in my mid thirties. I already have a car that I use often, but I’m looking to buy a new bike to commute to work, go to the gym or go on weekend rides with friends. My budget is between 2 lakh to 3 lakh rupees but I can increase it a bit if any good option is available. Please note, I am already using a friend’s Royal Enfield Classic 500, which was hardly used, so it is as good as new, and I can get hold of it. What do you recommend?

Autocar India says: From what you’ve described, you are looking for a smooth running motorcycle that is enjoyable to ride at a quiet pace. When it comes to it, few bikes in that price range do better than the new Royal Enfield Classic 350. Since you mentioned the existing Classic 500 that you currently have, we suggest you hold onto it for now if you enjoy the way it rides.
However, the new Classic 350 is a big step forward in terms of comfort, dynamics, refinement and reliability while retaining the charm. It is short on capacity, but it makes for a better highway bike as it can hold 80-100kmph without vibrations. We suggest you take a test ride, and if you find the new Classic a more enjoyable experience then it will be worth a go.
