Cocked 1200Klm on my 2022 Royal Enfield Classic 350 and today I thought I would take it out on a high-way test ride and see if it can cruise and hold speed at a steady 100Kph/60 Mph.

I may have to consider one of these in the future. My 2000 Speed Triple is in the shop, has been for 9 months. No engine gasket kits are available and it is unknown when they will come available. Out of frustration I looked for a short term replacement bike, $4,000 was my max limit, and I ended up with a very nice well cared for 1996 BMW R850R. It's a bit bigger (Full sized bike here) than what I was looking for, but I never had a BMW anything and this is the cheapest way to get into one... Just got it yesterday. This Enfield reminds me of the 1971 CL350 Honda Scrambler I had years ago. It was slow, but I think I rode it more than the Daytona T595 I had at the time because you could go at a leisurely pace.. where as the Daytona wanted to go quickly at all times. If I can be convinced RE Quality is up to snuff I may spring for one in the near future.

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.

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

100Kph is a nice speed to ride a motorcycle along a deserted back-road. Unfortunately, where I live you had better be able to hold 120-130Kph on the freeway for miles on end to get to those nice riding roads or you will become some pickup truck's or SUV's hood ornament. BTW, I have found that a small neck-high windshield will increase the efficiency of my electric motorcycle by as much as 10%.
@ridewithwarro2 жыл бұрын
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 was just curious how a 350 single cylinder would do on the highway - here it would be more like 120 Kph for cruising - my Bolt is fine at 75 but a little vibraty... of course mine is a V-twin 950 cc - so different animal. anyway, enjoyed the quick review.

I’ve got a classic 500. I initially dismissed the 350, but I suppose change in circumstance means I get even less time to go for leisure rides now and realistically most of my riding is commuting and punting under 110 km/h. So now I’m thinking about chassis design and engine smoothness and perhaps the 350 is looking more attractive. The 500 is great to about 105 but then it starts to feel a little sketchy, in your experience is the new 350 a better frame?
@ridewithwarro7 ай бұрын
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

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

Hi Warro. Got an idea how accurate the speedo is? The one on my 500 exaggerates 10 kph, compared to the satnav. On my Guzzi and the car it is about 5 kph. Which seems to be the usual amount.

G'day mate, has the bike got a taco?? I would like to know what RPM the motor is doing at 100 km, the motor didn't sound over worked at that speed, how well does it track at speed, cheers mate, keep safe, Neil 🤠.
@ridewithwarro2 жыл бұрын
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

Would you be comfortable doing 100kph for hrs on it ? Much Vibration? If so where?
@ridewithwarro2 жыл бұрын
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!

Hi Warro, been off bikes for about 10 yrs and thinking to get back on one. I have decided between this bike or the new CB 500 X. I know you've had a few cbx's but would like to know if you enjoy riding this bike more? Cheers from Mike
@ridewithwarro2 жыл бұрын
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

Hey Warro, thanks for the video. My commute is 85 miles each way. The speed limit for the majority of the commute is 55 mph. Would the classic 350 be comfortable for this distance on a daily basis?
@ridewithwarro2 жыл бұрын
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?
@deanomachineo72812 жыл бұрын
@@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.

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
