All things about this motorcycle is perfect, except as you said the rear light. The RE should have retained the old squarish brake light. That light had its own unmatchable charm.

how is it better than classic?
I am fortunate enough to own the 2016 Royal Enfield with UCE engine but without a self starter. I have travelled to Mysore, Mangalore, Chickamagalur, Belgaum and Goa many a times and I totally agree with Mr Anuj from Bikewale. As I am a Distributor for Savsol Lubricants (Savita Chemicals) I am using Savsol Premium Plus 4T 15W-50 and my Enfield operates smoothly without any heating problem or any such thing. Bullet Ki Jai Ho.
Really one of the best reviews I’ve seen. excellent details and one of the best videos of suspension functionality. We’ll done to the presenter and the whole crew.
The Standard in maroon looks so good! I feel tempted to buy one but I need to keep my vehicle count reasonable. The Classic 350 is a really nice bike so it's no surprise that this is too. The starting price is about 20k lower than that of the Classic so that goes in favour of the Bullet too.

@@twowheeledparadox So… i got the chance to test ride The New J Series Bullet 350. I rode it around 50 km, on the city, highway and bad roads. And I can strongly say it's a "Better Classic 350" in every way. So here is my experience with this motorcycle. 1. The handle bar position is a little bit higher than the classic 350. Because of that, the seating posture has improved a lot. Though this is a very subjective opinion. You may or may not like it. 2. Long single seat is great, very Spacious. cushioning is great. Especially for those who ride with their wife and children, you won’t find a better seat on a motorcycle (Though I do not recommend riding with 2 pillions, yes you can ride locally in city but do not go to highway with 2 pillion) Because of the soft Cushioning it may not be good for long rides. But RE is offering Touring seat as well, at an extra cost if you need one. 3. The weight distribution of this motorcycle is amazing. You won’t feel like you are riding a heavy bike, even in a stationary position, it’s not hard to move around. 4. I am highly impressed with the suspension of this motorcycle. Beyond my expectations honestly. Bad roads, potholes, it handles absolutely fine. 👌 Suspension setup is the same as the classic, but I think they have tuned it differently for this model. Model. I felt it was definitely better than my Meteor 350. I have ridden both bikes (bullet & meteor) on the same bad road back-to-back. Though on Highway meteor is King. High speed stability is far better on Meteor 350. That doesn’t mean that the bullet is far behind. It's great too, but not up to that level. 5. The gear box is smoooooth. Buttery smooth I would say. Shifting is very easy, very responsive. 6. Normally, I felt no vibration at all, but after 80kmph I felt a little vibration of the foot peg and handle bar. Which is negligible. And in my personal opinion, the new bullet 350 is a far better-looking motorcycle than the Classic 350. This is my personal opinion. You don’t have to agree with me on this. subjective opinion varies from person to person. So that was my riding experience. 🙏 Peace

@@iGAM3MAN Thanks for the detailed response! I think most of your observations hold true for the Classic 350 as well. You are right about the handlebar and seat, though. Did you notice the exhaust sound being louder than that of the Classic 350? I got to test ride the new Bullet 350 last night and it sounded louder. Maybe it was psychological. Anyway, I really liked it and want one in maroon! I don't think I will actually end up buying it, though.
You are correct, they should have retained the boxy tail lamp.
7:00 new one☝🏽 is winner from every aspect Love for new bullet ❤
Thank you for a good review!
Old sound is and will always be the best.. That mechanical sound is what connects with your ❤
Thanks for mentioning the tail light point. I had made a comment on your previous post regarding the same. I think not only the tail light but the overall design of the motorcycle could be more bullet. I don't quite like the classic but i used to like the standard bullet design with its subtle but better design differences. To me the standard always looked more authentic. And i feel RE have done a kind of cost cutting by not having much of a difference from the classic's parts. I think that could've been better😊

I’d like this particular model with the matt and gloss black paint along with the milled fins on the head.

Can we chance the exhaust like for fire shots for the new bullet?
Can the handle bar be adjusted?
Dear brother, ye bullet ke base varient and mid varient in dono mese konsa practically better he riding experience or value for money ki baat kare to ? Please share your experiences
Dear Team, Greetings :), RE seems to have removed the machine cut alloy wheel customisation for Classic Reborn. Only Stealth Black and Gun metal grey are options with default blacked out alloys. So is there an official news about it? Like to learn the rational behind this move.
Can you please guide if its ok to buy single channel ABS due to color preference? Or should i go for double channel ABS only considering safety issue? Thanks in advance

I don't think it will be that much effective on breaking when you cruise 50 to 70. Anyways you should break front wheel first. So you can go with that. Not a big issue when you are not a cruiser.

No Bullet 500 option? I feel that a 500 would be an excellent gap filler between the 350 singles and 650 twins. I'd also like to see a 750 version of the twin with 1970's styling as an alternative to the 1960's styled Interceptor 650. A 750 with a tear drop tank and mini ape bars along the lines of the USA market Triumph T140E would fit the bill for me.

The new Bullet 350’s exhaust note has good bass compared to the old model.
I love the both bullet and classic. Does new bullet can be fitted with alloy wheels?
The new one is quieter and more than a bit. It sounds more upmarket and that's a good thing.
Is military black worth buying?
It's gorgeous - I love that black-gold colour - fingers crossed we get in the Americas
I’ve learned how to ride bike few days back and now, I’m really excited to buy Bullet military sliver black after few Month’s 😊
Sir, what is the crank weight of the 2023 bullet
i owned both uce and j series and i must say both are fantastic
Would have looked better with the chrome exhaust from the Classic and two inch higher bars would have been appropriate. I like the overall look and sound. Five more HP would be nice, too.
Please tell what’s the background music track . It’s wonderful ❤

Sir bullet 350 aur classic350 men kaun leni chahiye
I am not a fan of classic bikes but if I have choose to a Royal Enfield bike then I will go for the new bullet and replace the wheel with a alloy and tubeless tyre
Its same DNA,,with new age craftmenship looks beautiful
Back then it's bullet who made the classic..and now classic giving their part to bullet..
Bullet 350 vs metero 350 which is best to buy in terms of all rounder
this must be the best review i hv seen hands-down
I love this matt black colour 😍 i was really amazed ♥️
Just because of the weird rear look on the newer one I am choosing the old one...I am getting it for my birthday
People are not accepting new bullet 350 but after 5;6 years they used to this machine and new generation which is comming in 5 6 years will never remember the old one they will like this refined new bullet .
Great review... However, can the 13ltr tank be replaced by 13.5 ltr tank, in this new model?
Comparing the new Bullet 350 to my 2022 Classic 350 Dark, It looks like the only difference is the seat and some paint work changes. Other than those things, it's looks the same as my Classic 350.

Building muscle memory is very important in Indian roads. Which includes braking techniques. Abs will save you a lot these days. But one with dual channel abs. Even after that you need to be very aware of pedestrians crossing the road. Other bikers will always urge you to overspeeed by honking at you. 60 percent of bikers on the road are mannerless, as they are always in hurry. (Unhappy people). Always let them pass. Let them do the accident and suffer. You need to follow a s0eed limit in your head in these tricky situations. Because if someone comes in front of you, you need to stop fast in a straight line 20 percent of the times. I would say you will have to be very slow in the first 1 year. Take it very gradually. Bullet hitting someone is a fatal accident. Thats the only problem. Your elder will tell you to buy a splendor or a glamour. That would be better choice according to me too. And also you will fall a few times, don't worry we all did.It's part of learning. There is minor risk involved. Ride slow, so you won't fall hard. Learn, butwith less speed. You don't want the new bullet to be scratched all over the place. Buy a 2nd hand glamour, ride for 1 year. Then but the bullet. I rode a glamour for 8 years, then bought Hunter. Riding it for 1 year now. Not even a single stratch. Feels so good. I fell with glamour and learnt. Just 1 fall teaches you lightning fast. 😂 And I rode very safely, even the' The road is the road'. It has some things that it wants to teach every new rider.
