well if you asked me about the previous run of singles thats not too pleasing to the ear...lol but the new 350 although not perfect its way ahead. how far ahead -lets say far enough for me to go out and buy my second one today. best news it should be here by the weekend

@@ridewithwarro It is wonderful to hear that you are pleased and ready to get a second one. That says a lot. I will keep watching with interest and see about getting one in the future if I decide I don't want to continue on with the R850R I just got.

My wife owns a Meteor and I just ordered a Classic. That engine is fantastic if you feel like enjoying Motorcycling. Good enough. Maybe 5 or 10 extra HP would not harm, but still I do not need them as most of my trips I avoid motorways even with my previous ride that was a Triumph Street Twin.

Has anyone got a spare gasket kit for a speed triple? Someone must have a stock pile somewhere? Can anyone help Kirk?

@Phil Tucker I did get my gasket kit through the dealer. Bike is fixed and on the road.

that too...lol and at 55 mph its a walk in the park for this. at 50 it doesn't sound or feel comfortable but 55/60 mph -its a different story to tell all the best!

Here in Tx too. Im 64 next month. Sold my '11 Suzuki VStrom DL650 last year. It had side/top cases,bags, upgrades windscreen, seat, shock. It came that way from fella i bought it from 3 yrs ago. I only put 350 miles, in 3 yrs. Never more than a 1 hours ride. No touring or adv riding. I liked the size of the Wee. But I know now how i plan to ride. Just 1-2 hour jaunts on the backroads near me at 60mph tops if that. Looking for a 300-500cc bikes for that now. Ride On Warro!

@@ernieD well i was out on it twice today and i think if your after a bike that you can just get on and do a short run-distance not important as long as you come back and say -"That was fun i think i will repeat that again tomorrow" which you will. then i think this is the bike!

Join the club. If we al ride like there's no tomorrow we just miss all the best things in a ride

well said sums it up perfectly

thanks for all the great comments. the roadside cooking ansd ride clips will start as soon as the temp drops in the area and no concern of fire bans. meanwhile i plan to do a dirt road ride run and show the drone in action again. maybe next clip up all the best!

Welcome aboard!

thanks i thought the new mic went extremely well considering i was riding straight into pretty strong headwinds and if i had been using my other systems -they would have been a total write-off and un-usable sound. thanks again for a nice comment too

at the moment just putting some quick klm on it as see how it runs. when we get to the ride/cook series involving 20 clips i think it should be pretty interesting viewing. not too sure about the cooking side but i will give it a good hit...lol all the best

Right on! did you see this one -kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKyqh9qqutLbk2w.html

totally agree. if your not happy riding one of these bikes -your very hard to please. a true time wap machine indeed!

Glad you enjoyed it. yeah hard to believe on the playback virtually no wind noise and the wind was pretty shocking really. plus no leads on my mic and i just clipped it to my open helmet chin strap and it was pointing directly into the wind. i was expecting the clip to be a write-off. had the receiver clipped to the gopro 10 unreal stable footage from the handlbars of the enfield 350. i say near impossible to do that on some of my previous ones...i've tried...lol thanks for the great comment too

all i can say is if one went out and bought this new 350- its just impresses you with what it delivers. the game has changed since the UCE of 2009 and its gone up quite a notch. all the best!

Nothing beats the 500✌🏼 😎

@@bullethead7713 except this new 350...lol

Only good Bullet is 2017 up were the the best & in future be more sought after too than the older hit & miss models.If you really want a 500 this is the time to get one.Still a few brand new 2021 models in NZ & alot of secondhand low km 2017-2020 models.The last 4 yrs of build quality improved so much & reliability wasn't hit & mis like with older models.In my local R.E dealership there was one 120yr Anniversary Stealth Black 500 Classic for sale when I bought my Interceptor.If I could have afforded it I would of bought it too.As soon as you rode out of shop it will increase in value & was actually surprised dealership owner didn't keep it for himself.Only 200 off world wide were built & was lucky to see one up close, beautiful bike.Be a investment bike so run it in ride a short distance every 3weeks to keep it fresh.A ltd edition Anniversary Stealth Black bike in 5-7yrs with 5000km be worth double what you paid for it.Keep km low & paint pristine in atmosphere tent the value will increase.

my thoughts now-the only good enfield is the new 350...lol if i had run into one of these new breed 10 years ago i think i would have saved myself at least $150,000 buying new and trying to get a good one...lol

much more to come on this set of wheels...all the best!

thanks....its a great bike to ride and am enjoying the experience

Enjoying both your channels, the RE 350 looks to be a great bike. Would be super if they made a new 500 version and then put that engine in the Himalayan. A 500 single off road style bike would sell big time.

@@splodge5714 royal enfield appear to be working on a whole host of new models so i think it will be interesting what they come up with next all the best and happy to hear you enjoyed the content

all i can say is they have improved these new 350 versions. not perfect but big improvement. its not real comfortable cruising at 80 kph and had a slight vibe -just slight but was very comfortable at 90 kph. what i failed to mention on the clip was i thought it was slower on this run. i put it on 100 kph a day earlier and it was running on 1/3 throttle and quicker. later on the return home it dawned on me. i had fitted the right rear pannier and was getting wind dragg. i pulled the pannier today and plan to run that same stretch again and i bet less wind dragg and its faster and less throttle too. i might re-do the clip and show the bike with pannier fitted. i took a photo but never used it

if interested quite a few ride clips in my history section. this bike plus the marsh grey version

you could say i like enfields a bit. good colour choice. i had 2 gun metals in the 500's a couple years back. a cool colour

Awesome, thank you! conditions were pretty bad really and i thought really a wasted clip under the condition but surprisingly all went well. all the best

it apears to run pretty good at that speed. just waiting now for the powertronic fuelx fueler and try a sports exhaust with it to see if it runs even better or not. clips coming shortly

@@ridewithwarro Cant wait to see that one!

always good to have dreams. plus you'll be pretty happy with the end result being a dream worth riding. all the best!

great to hear. all the best!

heres what i'd do. the speedtwin is a pretty nice bike-2 years back i bought the street scrambler and if i had it over again -i'd gone the speed twin. why not grab one of these and that way try both. either keep one after the trial or hold both. is it worth buying yes if you asked about buying a 500 -id said no. these are really good bikes to ride now

thanks- good to hear. all the best

thanks...i think so too

sounds good on the windscreen side. back to the speed side 100 kph is thelimit in my area and i'd have to travell a good 100 kl to get t a 110 zone. once run in i plan to do just that and run it and find out

I would think the Interceptor or Continental GT 650 twins would be much better for longer high speed cruising.

@@jimbo4375 yeah i had 2 interceptors and they would very easily outpace one of these 350's. but they are a god all-round set of fun wheels to ride so i enjoy that side of it. slower but a far better look at whats about.

It's my pleasure - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZh4paqEzNCZf4E.html

Me too! and thanks F/N and all the best

its the rode wireless go 2. about $400au but i think worth far more....lol so simple to use works great and comes with 2 mics

did you happen to see my clip on the 4wd hill climb.on the 350 its pretty bad going down in clup 1. but more asction at the top on this clip 2. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gpl1o7hlndrLYHk.html

sounds good to me.

i dont mind that side as it just looks and appears 50's styling but apart frpm that is a nice new style old bike to ride about on

Glad it was helpful!

Sure is! plus there are plenty of those about. in fact i ran a hi-ace myself so there a pretty good work tool here

yeah i dont think its for you. your right at max speed at 120 kph and using full throttle to0 just to hold pace. 100 kph is very easy to do but say 120 - i think the bike would be running out of luck and on borrowed time as a second choice ride or a 100 kph runner. its very good set of wheels in this area.

it does that pretty good too. all the best!

so far it appears to like running along at 55 mph pretty good.

lets say after owning 15 new enfield the 350 is easily the better bike in all areas. not as fast but better. now if you want something pretty close in performance to 100 kph the new hunter does just that only real issue ..pretty hard ride and slightly foreward riding position with a slight bit of vibe thrown in. more like a tremor compared to an earthquake on a 500

pretty good bike and ive done lots of clips on them. plus i really enjoy the ride experience too.

Glad you think so!

thanks -glad to hear you enjoyed it

all i can say if 5th is an overdrive how come i can power along on good flat ground at 100 kph. i just come back from a 2 hour ride and a couple of time on a couple of straight i tried to get 6th gear lol maybe if one came of a litre bike it may feel like 4th is the speed urchin but it runs alright in 5th for me with 5000 combined klm on both bikes. i can pull from 100 kph to 110 very easy- i cant see how i'd class it as an overdrive either way when it comes to the crunch you get to a good hill-20 hp is NOT enough...lol and it won't matter if your in 4th or not -you'll still be dropping gears...lol

only can supply photo and it will be in the next clip as i just removed it to re-do the 100 klm cruise run which i thought the pannier box held back its performnce a tad

anything is possible...lol

i actually suffered nerve damage in hands and feet from riding the 500's and was advised by the specialist -stay off the bikes! that is one of the reasons i trired out the scooter idea. now the 350's are out i find them near vibe free and can handle the ride easy

@@ridewithwarro Wow. good to know.

@@stevemiller7433 yeah i can honestly say i will never return in that direction

yeah i think your climbing well up the ladder of subs to your channel. great work there!

@@ridewithwarro thanks heaps mate almost at 400 how you going

No problem 👍 the colour is halcyon grey but to me and most who view think its morelike a very pale blue. either way it looks fine to me and 4 months back thats the colour i ordered in especially to do the ride/cook series im happy with it so all good there. plus the cream striping on the mudguards with gold pin striping sets it off well glad to hear the clips help kick off your day in a positive note

@@ridewithwarro if it ever stops raining and snowing here I may go for a ride . I need to move to Australia so I can get some use out of my bullet. 6years old and 4000 on the clock. Just a waste of a good bike

@@terrydenton3474 know exactly what you mean. i dont like riding here in the heat. speaking of rain its doing that as i type...lol pretty hard to avoid the H2O -even here. all the best and may better riding weather come your way

but theres more...lol watch this clip and you'll see it run a real 4wd hill plus some nice drone footage tossed in too -kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8uDZqp9lcq5iH0.html

only thing i can see a problem on the new 350's and its the luck of the draw-some have stuck speedo issues and some dont. this bike has that issue but my marsh grey signal 350 is good in that area

i think so and its a pretty smooth ride on the stock suspension and handles fine too. solo seat is great to sit on and easy on the rump too. i think for what it costs and how well it goes -great value. finally a fuel gauge is thrown in plus left and right indicator warning lights plus no longer need to buy a clock too pretty happy really all the best!

no it was doing it easy and ive ran that bike at $1.15 on flat ground and sat there for a few 100 metres so no issues.i think 90/100 is the sweet spot and it can handle that very easy and quietly too that part i like the best. had enough of the bangers...lol

bunning in orange

it runs 100 kph pretty easy and will top out at 120 kph on flat ground. think 100 kph is more the magic area for it. faster can be done but no idea for how long...lol so safe bet for me ...sitting on 100/60mph

i think so-pretty happy about todays test ride results and over-all a pretty good ride day for me

i think i tried it a couple of days after that and like all the cars running about i think it was out by 6 or 8 kph. dont mind that idea at all as lately our area is hounded by stationary speed cameras in and out of town grabbing heaps too

@@ridewithwarro Thanks. No, it doesn't matter and is all good, but it means that your actual speed in this video was 85-93 instead of 93-100 (as the instrument showed). I am considering buying a Classic 350 and am curious to know if it can actually cruise at 100.

@@stefanhansen5882 well i still had plenty in reserve and ive had it running at speedo indicated 110kph but i think 90/100 kph is more acceptable for this 350cc motor. i feel just because it can do it i also say...for just how long. the other option for you could be the new 2022 honda cb500x-ive had 4 of those. i'd say it would cruise easy at 130/140 kph so that may be an option and its not all that much more expensive. hope that helps

@@ridewithwarro Thanks. And I appreciate the suggestion, but style and heritage matters more to me than speed. The Honda is a good machine, no doubt. But it's ugly. :)

@@stefanhansen5882 then it looks like an enfield for you...lol

a quick burst never worries them and ive done 1200 klm. i use to put the 500's on 100 kph at exactly 100 klm on the clock. just to see how strong the motor was. the real damage is done holding speed early in the first few hundred klm and over heating the motor. a 5th gear roll on throttle to 100 kph is no-where near as bad if at all as some-one out there buying a new bike and pulling the guts out of it at low speed like 5th gear - just to hear the exhaust note. that trip will make the bearings sing a bad tune...lol

not really-if you get caught speeding in my area -no change out of $2000 plus loss of license on the spot 6 months suspension. bike is hauled away and party over. so best play it smart and do the right thing or i will be having a stock sale...lol

about 112 kph is tops and governed. so you can do a few mods to inscreae pick but after that its buy a bigger bike

i will run a gps against it shortly and see how far its off. i will be off for sure as they all are but theres only one way to get a better idea so we will find out by how much

no tacho but i might strap one onto the spark plug lead later and get a figure. its working harder at 100 compared to 80 where it appears to be asleep...lol but i'd say after today it would sit on 110 kph but your heading close to the max rev mark up there id say 100 kph would be an easy run but i'd like to hit 2000 klm before i sit on that for longer periods as i want it running well when i start doing longer runs on the ride and cook segment tracks really well and nice soft seat too

so far ive found its a bit more vibey at 80 kph -more a pulse effect than when on 100 kph. but i will get a much better idea soon

it will cruise at 100 kph pretty easy but if it strikes a hill you will drop in speed. it wont pull a hill like the 500 will i'd say you could run it for lengthy periods at 100 kph once its run in properly but if you said -how about 110 kph then i wouldnt do that as its not far off the top speed. vibration. all i can say is this. its the only bike to date ive had where i can ride it at 100 kph gloves free with no issues. not recommended but just curious. what i wouldn't recommend. stay away from the sump guard or other things which may introduce vibration to the bike. sump guard fit and i had extra vibe immediately -same too sports exhaust. once removed bike pretty calm again good bike-buy one!

yeah i like to get moving more in the 80 to 100 kph to stay with the traffic

@@ridewithwarro re-engines(even gt 650) r not meant for speed 1f the top speed is 120 doing 100 is makes the engine outta breath.

could be...lol

i'd say the 500x is a better built bike especially the last one i had -the 022 model it was far the best yet but it also had a bit of handlebar vibration too. thats why i held out for this bike and i can ride it glove free without any issues. the 500x is a very good bike in all areas but i'd rather ride this bike regardless because it has character and you feel good riding it the 500x does the lot well but in the end its only a new bike-not so with this unit your riding a time machine lets say its born old and new...lol very hard to beat now if you said you wanted to ride around Aust -easy choice there 500x

@@ridewithwarro Thanks for your reply Warro - will probably get the Enfield - just as you said "time machine" and it has character . Cheers.

@@michaelsutton3017 that would sum it up perfectly

these enfield have more character than any new bike i've bought and the 51st arrives tomorrow. my thoughts would be if your not happy or feel good on one of these...i guess your riding dead...lol

@@ridewithwarro I guess your riding dead - I like that one!

@@wiffwaff4509 just made it up too. never said it before but its just such a fun bike to ride. on it every day and sometimes twice or more...lol

Mr warro, If possible , can u do another video with good exhaust note please ?

@@balajibaskar4960 i will try but the exhaust sound pretty good compared to the stock sewing machine zap of the 500. its a pretty good stock exhaust really but i have much better aftermarket exhaust in stock. i run that same exhaust on the the 500's ive owned. just look in my history and you' will see the exhaust on many bike including interceptor

i think so too. its the halcyon grey which actually looks more like a light/pale blue. either way its looks period style and perfect for the ride and cook series i have planned

so far i am finding it issue free apart from a wonky speedo reading. appears to be a know fault on this new bike as plenty recorded. back to your 85 mile commute. that would depend on if its more flat running as hills will be an issue. you'll get overthem but if you want to maintain speed -you'll be working the bike harder and dropping gears. what other bikes did you have in mind or is this it?

@@ridewithwarro I really like the old bullets, and single cylinder motors in general. So the classic 350 really appeals to me, but it has to perform well enough for my commute. It's mostly flat, but I live at 7000' above sea level so performance will be affected. If the classic doesn't work, then I will probably go with the Interceptor 650, it has a nice neutral riding position and sounds good for a twin, the economy is not as good however.

@@deanomachineo7281 iv owned 2 interceptor so thats the way to go. no pressure on the motor and it will do that kind of running with little to no effort and pulls hills easy. plus 100 kph on an interceptor is just playing with it. great bike. may not look as old school as the 350 but long distance rides day after day ts impossible to beat. next choice would be the 2022 honda cb500x but its a bit vibey in the bars and not as smooth as the 650. ive had 4 new ones of those and the 2022 is the pick

@@ridewithwarro thank you Warro, sounds good. I sure appreciate the information. I'll set up a test ride tomorrow morning.

@@deanomachineo7281 i like the350's and thats why i bought two of them. but at say 250 klm per day -pretty big ask. go interceptor and if you want 100% reliabilty its a cb500x local dealer told me he has sold many which have clocked 100,000 klm virtually trouble free.

no -too much vibrations. this one is great!

i think next day i did and it was like all the cars about 5 to 8 kph fast. they do this to all cars and bikes so they are not liable for speeding tickets...lol if faster no issues -if slower theres trouble brewing

@@ridewithwarro so is the speedometer correct according to the gps?

@@imochasingh6875 i'd say out 5 to 8 kph kust like all the cars speedos

not as yet as ive been easy on the run in side but once i am happy with the run in side i will try it out

sounds good to me!

i don't think there is much in it really. i have not been hard on it as i am taking it easy as i have those big ride and cook series coming up and i have to travel big klm. if you said once run innwould i give it a run against a 500 -on flat grounds yes and the 500 would be worried...lol not once had i fully opened the throttle or hit the rev limiter -just roll on. my thoughts so far its pretty quick and if you compared say the old carby 350 -which i had 2 new - its not in the same ball park or its that far behind i'd have to pull over and wait. i will probably add a fuel tuner and sports exhaust when i get the munbers up on it but in stock form it goes well-sounds great and doesnt really vibrate much at all possible the best enfield single ive been on out of the 15 or 16 new ones. not sure on the number i will have to add them up if you asked would i go back to a 500 after owning so many.....easy answer NO! this is just a great package or i would have sold it hope that helps

@@ridewithwarro - Good to hear. Here in the U.S., doing less than 100kph on a highway or freeway makes 4-wheelers angry, sometimes deadly.

@@daveinwla6360 yeah i think so far good at 100 kph and later i will sit it a bit higher

yeah that maybe true but i've ownered porsches/bmw's merc/lotus and other high performace cars and they all read quick. if not there would be a law suite against the builders for many speeding offences. you'll find at 50 kph most speedo are spot on and as it climbs up a notch -they allow for speeding issues

it appears to do that pretty easy. my even do it easier still when the fuel controller arrives and sports exhaust is on and ready to test it out
